"You died because of your addiction," I glared down at my hands. "Yet, I was born because of it, and I don't know how to feel about that. I don't know how to feel about most things." 

Amelia Ingridson, an individual with a stubborn mind, sarcastically humorous tongue, and a heart that doesn't understand the world. She lives as an observer, set in a comfortable life on the sidelines.

But everyone has a story, and most have secrets--whether of ourselves, or others. 

When her grandpa uproots them to move closer to family, her reasonably comfortable life is flipped into something that she doesn't know.
  
Her cousin Daniel and his friends, Kyle, Dolan, Cooper, and the experiences she gains from being in their band, help teach her to see reality from more than a perspective of self-blame and pity, and more from the messiness and the beauty that is within it.

Keep An Open Mind {Lynn Gunn} by Run-Dont-Walk

TW: this book may contain mentions of violence and of suicide. DISCLAIMER #1: I wrote this story when I was a teen and while some mental disorders are the focal point, they may not be accurate representations as I was far from being a psychologist. There are several things Lynn doesn't quite get about the world she lives in, which makes it harder for her to figure herself out. She is not your average teenager. She's young, intelligent, though something about her is off by now. Everyone is quick to misjudge and point fingers, everything and everyone is so corrupted that she's afraid she'll lose herself among a bunch of wandering, empty souls. Therapy can only help so much, depression is hard to die, and in Lynn's case it's caused solely by the fact she doesn't 'fit in'. She can't really find her place in the world. But there's something really special about her; Her dreams are haunted by a wonderful, mystical place. No one understands her, they think she's off her rocker, that she needs to cut her childish daydreams. But Lynn knows deep in her heart that place really exists, and she'll do anything to find it, with the help of some new found friends. There's only one thing she must do: Keep an open mind, it brings open hearts and open eyes. -- DISCLAIMER #2 This fanfiction is inspired to Mind Over Matter by Pvris and their lyrics in general. All you read here is fiction. every reference to real events or people is purely coincidental. I do not own the songs featured in the book.

Victor's touch ignited both irritation and an inexplicable warmth within me as he rubbed the sore spot with a tenderness that caught me off guard. "You just can't help it." He pressed a soft kiss to my palm, leaving me momentarily stunned as he released my hand.
