The Girl with Headphones

Allison kicked the door after banging it closed,shutting out the barking voices.It didn't matter,no one would hear her little tantrum anyway.She cursed at the pain beginning to throb in her right foot,not caring enough to rid herself of the soaking jacket that no longer served its purpose.

She threw herself on the oversized bed, wiping away the stupid tears that insisted on falling.Heading for the only thing that could keep her sane in moments like these, she stretched across the bed,fishing out her tangled earphones.After comfortably placing both buds in her ears,and connecting the earphone wire with her phone,her fingers lingered over the lit screen,contemplating on which song would best calm her nerves.Closing her eyes in frustration,a few more tears fell,and it was then,she could swear, her heart actually stopped beating,out of shock from the voice that echoed in her ears,coming from none other than her earphones.

"Hello,can anyone hear me?" an unfamiliar voice spoke.

Allison Novac outwardly portrays a 'normal' & 'perfect' life. After all, those were the fundamental requirements for living in Goodwind, a town of pretty houses, fake faces and empty souls. So it doesn't make sense to anyone when Allison's boyfriend commits suicide, leaving a broken Allison to pick up the pieces and face the consequences of everyone else's wrongdoings.

Allison suddenly becomes the talk of the town, wanting nothing more than to block the horrid voices, Allison places her earphones in her ears. But the voices don't stop there, and this time Allison doesn't want to shut them out, for they are the only thing keeping her sane.
