"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.

The Love That Ruined Me
Started: 10/28/2025 Ended: I knew he was married, but I still let myself fall. We were friends before his wife came, not close, not strangers either. We never said what we truly felt, maybe because we were afraid to give it meaning. But fate played its cruel trick. We ended up living in the same boarding house, different rooms, the same secret. We both knew it was wrong, yet we crossed the line anyway. He was my first, my first love, my first sin, my first heartbreak. I thought I could handle it, but loving him was slowly destroying me. So I did the only thing that could save what was left of me. I left him. Because sometimes, walking away doesn't mean you stopped loving. It just means you've finally learned to love yourself.

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

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
denial
you know when some people ask, "why do you think your best friend is supposed to spend more time with you instead of their significant other?" charlotte wells think it's a loaded question and feels as if the answer is "super obvious." but she didn't always feel that way. normally, she'd be on the other side of that answer. saying something like "yeah why do people care so much?" but that was until after happened between her and her best friend lily. they were inseparable until they weren't. charlotte never saw it coming. lily used to call charlotte char, but then she stopped, and was giving someone else a nickname. it was then she realized things about herself that she'd never quite uncovered. things that made her feel differently. each chapter added with a taylor swift song lyric just for a touch of me in it <3 ‼️rated mature for minor swearing‼️ (only in a few chapters, nothing major) last chapter - a playlist of songs for the storyComplete
Rock's Life - Background Noise
In a valley that never changes, all it takes is one wrong kiss, a song on the radio, and a winter night to make everything fall apart. 🎬 Early 2000s. Flip phones snap open like promises, songs drift slowly through MP3 players, and headphones crackle with dreams too big for a mountain town frozen in time. The Rusty Dreamers have always played: three friends, one band, one hope that echoes louder than anything else. Filippo pounds the drums to drown out the chaos inside him. Jacopo, bass and madness, is a wildfire waiting to burn. Manuel, guitar and steady mind, says little-but holds everything together. And then there's Cat: sharp, witty, always there. She doesn't play, but she's their silent constant. The girl who's been secretly in love with Filippo for as long as she can remember. And no one knows. Not even him. But when Emma arrives-a girl from the city-the balance shatters. Everything changes. In one final year of high school, filled with goodbyes and new beginnings, between secrets, jealousy, and unspoken truths, music becomes the voice for everything they can't say. Love tangles. Scars remain. Dreams grow too big for a valley stuck in time. 🎧 And that constant background noise? It's music. It's growing up. It's chaos. It's life. 🎸A story of small towns, music, jealousy, and first times. 🎧 Of friendships that hurt and love that makes you grow. 🔥 Of dreams too big to stay in the valley. 🛻 With a vintage feel-amplifiers, vinyl, and wild, messy hopes. New chapter every week on Tuesday! References to songs, lyrics, and music in this work are made for narrative purposes only. All rights remain with their respective owners. ©Rufio.
