After becoming drum major of his high school and leading the band for almost two weeks in summer band camp, Ellis learns that due to a new job for his dad, his family has to move across the country from Georgia to California.
This means a new town, a new school, and of course, a new band. The problem is, he's coming in late, and now he'll have to fit in to a new band family without the benefit of being drum major.
***
These are just early developmental sketches for a new stand alone short, I'm writing in the "Just Rigby" universe.
If you've read Just Rigby (aka titled Because in its published form), you know that Ellis, the main character of THIS story, plays a small, but significant, role in Rigby's journey in her novel.
This is a short story about Ellis and HIS journey and takes place AFTER the events in Just Rigby (aka Because).
Each part is an exploration and will eventually end up in published form, but for now, enjoy reading about Ellis and his journey into a new band family on the other side of the country.

********************************************** I stand up, not being able to handle this, "You're telling me, we're moving to some hick town in the middle of hell, two months into my senior year of high school?" My voice getting louder, "What kind of nightmare is this? You're joking right?" I stop pacing and turn to my parents. "This is all a joke. Mom would never leave this," I motion around me, "New York, none the less." Mom nods, "We're moving to Eatonton, Georgia and that's final." ********************************************** Trade in your Coach purse for some Mossy Oak, Your BMW for a pickup truck, Your high heels for some cowgirl boots and Your high class man for a good 'ol country boy.

A Breath of Fresh Air
For 17-year-old high school senior Evan Brooks, life could be better. He's a social outcast at school, stuck in a rural Alabama small town he never wanted to move to, and he's got a secret he's desperately trying to keep: he's gay. When he embarks on a weekend vacation to the Florida panhandle with his hypermasculine brother, homophobic stepdad, and aloof mother, none of them can anticipate how much a simple 3-day trip will change their lives forever... **2025 Update: Hi! This was my very first attempt at crafting an entire story from scratch all the way back in 2020, and I'd like to think my writing has since improved. I've started working on a big rewrite project, so stay tuned for a newly enhanced story! Please visit the last chapter (2025 Rewrite Info/Updates) for more details. In the meantime, the original story will remain here in full - just know that I know some parts of it are cringe lol. I hope you still enjoy it though! :) Some details have changed between this story and Road to Rockdale in anticipation of the rewrite, so please excuse some inconsistencies if you're coming from that story. I promise everything will line up eventually! CONTENT WARNING/TRIGGERS: Please note that this story contains very strong language at times and some mature themes. Some characters face emotional abuse. There is also a small amount of physical abuse, but it is mostly implied apart from one scene which is not extremely graphic. Some characters are homophobic, and a slur is used a handful of times.Complete
Highschool Sweethearts
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.Complete

Wake Up, Sunshine [JALEX]
So this is a club AU thing. Inspired by The Scene I just read it and it was so good. kinda inspired. This book has a lot of characters in it so bare with me. How about I just put the bands and individuals that are in bands down here and if they aren't down here they aren't band related probably made up by yours truly. Bands involved in this fic: P!ATD (OG members minus Brent) ATL PTV SWS Waterparks (Awsten is fem!) FOB IDKHBTFM MCR (Gerard is fem!) Individuals (all of these people have their own bands but idk the whole band or they play as themselves): Oli Sykes Hayley Williams Andy Biersack Josh Franceschi Kurt Cobain Ronnie Radke I hope you can keep up and it doesn't get boring or confusing.Complete
HeartLESS (Fransykes)
"You and I got matching scars." Oli has been single for almost a year and has been doing some soul searching. Finally ready to join the world of dating again, his best mate, Mat, encourages him to try a dating app. Oli is sceptical, but when those blue eyes appear in his potential matches, he has no idea how much of an impact they're going to have on him. This is an AU beginning in 2016. Though the characters are also musicians, it's on a casual basis and they have other day jobs too, so don't come at me for accuracy, that's what fiction is - FICTIONAL! I do not own any of the band members or music/lyrics in this fic. STRICTLY 18+ MINORS DNI Specific warnings will be detailed at the beginning of each chapter as necessary.
