"I'm a bit of a night owl because that's when I feel the most creative and alive."
― Christina Aguilera
There are five stages to grief:
DENIAL,
ANGER,
BARGAINING,
DEPRESSION,
and ACCEPTANCE.
These are the five stages that changed these five friends forever.
***
After the popular high school band, NIGHTOWLS suffered an immense loss, blinded by denial and anger, the five band members went on separate paths and swore never to meet again.
But four years later, when the ex-band members are offered an opportunity they cannot refuse in the form of a music festival, they are forced to work together to reach out for their dreams once more.
For some, this is a chance for a new beginning,
For others, it is a chance to prove that they are worth more,
and for one, it is a chance for revenge.
***
Follow the five young adults: Ethan, Andrew, Winnie, Ian and Lauren, as they discover the true meaning of grief and how it can change anyone who encounters it. This is a story about transformation and moving on from bad experiences to new beginnings.

Outcast Reject
I was never appreciated for who I was. I was tossed aside and left to rot for a mistake I made many years ago, a mistake that haunted me my entire life. I thought he would be the one to save me, how wrong I was. My story is not an easy one but it is one that shaped me to be the person who I am today. *Extended summary inside* ******** DISCLAIMER... This book was written a while back ago when I was younger and did not understand proper English grammar. It is not the best written book out there but I hope that does not discourage you from reading the book. Although it is not the best, it does have a somewhat decent, yet a little cliche, storyline.Complete

The New American Dream
"I see the world and it seems like I see it so differently than most other people. It makes me really angry most of the time. Especially since no one ever listens to me or what I've got to say. I try to express myself in so many different ways and no one sees it. When I sing a song people will only care about how the music sounds or how much I swore. If I paint, people will see the picture but not the meaning. It seems so obvious to me but everyone just seems to... close their eyes. Or at least shut off their brain. As if I see things they don't. But when they don't listen, how can I communicate that to them? It's so frustrating." Allie is a high school student and has big plans to make the world a better place. But her own head is pitting against her, throwing rocks in her path on a daily basis. Everything seems to be great for a while but what happens when her world suddenly comes crashing down around her? Can she ever recover? A coming-of-age story that deals with mental ilnesses, grief, first loves and family, briefly taps into the subject of religion and will likely enrapture you. Trigger warning: mental illnesses, self harm, death, dealing with grief, mentions of guns and gun control, mentions of cults, mentions of homophobia, dissociation. Names of bands, band members and song titles have been changed but at this point I want to credit mainly Palaye Royale, the band 'Homesick Soldiers' that is mentioned throughout is heavily based off them, but I'm sure if you're familiar with them you would have been able to tell that :)Complete

Grief • Lando Norris ✔️
They say grief comes in six stages. First, it's the initial shock of losing someone you love. Next, it's denial of the fact that they are really, truly gone. This is followed by a wave of anger at not only yourself, but those around you. You can bargain all you want, but nothing can change the past. After all this, you fall into a grey area of depression. It's numb, and it's cold, and it feels like it'll drag on for an eternity... ...But it doesn't, as long as acceptance follows. • this story is going to be sad • possible trigger warning • loosely inspired by 'eleven minutes' by yungblud and halsey • written july '19 •Complete
