In an alternative world where one is stereotyped by their taste in music, there's two groups that don't always get along: the rockers (rock music) and the poppies (pop music).

Shay Walsh has been defined her entire life, being the daughter of two iconic rock stars. She loves rock music, has tattoos, and even plays guitar. She's used to being labeled. She's used to being envied.  She's used to being hated. She's used to being judged. Shay is deeply insecure: she doesn't think she's good enough to follow her parents' musical footsteps, she hates her looks, and worst of all, she has an abusive boyfriend. 

Shay feels trapped in her life. Until one day she goes to an audition for a local rock band. She meets confident lead singer Claudia, quiet bassist Kurt, funny drummer Ricky, and the sweet guitarist Braydon. Shay finds herself again, learns to love herself, and even learns what real love is with Braydon. 

But self-love and romance endures a lot when Shay competes against pop girl group the Sparkles, risks losing the love of her life, especially when her abusive ex-boyfriend comes back from the past. Shay understand what love truly is, and she experiences this through her greatest love of all: music.All Rights Reserved

Purple Heart ✓ by kavyamehta12

Spin-off to "Big Yellow Door" but could be read as a standalone. ♡♡♡♡ I was labelled as the girl who got fame as heritage or the one who couldn't stand up to the reputation her parents held. They say I'm a shame to my infamous parent's legacy. Arrogant, rude, slut, druggy and whatnot. People called me whatever they wished for. I believed I possessed talent but they pulled me down. Everything I had got shaded with innumerable comparisons with my father's success. I got my looks from my mother but I was told that I'm nowhere near her. She was pure and I am immoral. He was people's man and I'm an arrogant bitch. The only daughter of the Rockstar, the nation loved and the writer people adored. The only mistake I made was to love music with everything within me, only if I knew how to handle the negativity that came along with it. I saw success but more than that I felt pain. People called me toxic, they said I lacked many things, they called me a product of nepotism but only if they were able to see beyond that, only if they were able to see what that music meant to me. I can't go back as I have come so far now. So the only thing I can do is to give them time to accept me and hope that one day I can complete my dreams and in the process maybe if possible make the two people I love the most feel proud of me.

Without All This Noise - an original story by OA3435

A band. A bond to last a lifetime. The summer before their senior year, and Nick's freshman year of college, everything changes when Nick suddenly overdoses without warning. Now, the three of them are forced to rebuild themselves. Their loyalty to the band, themselves, and music is tested with the arrival of their new drummer as they all struggle with their own personal challenges. Will they be able to pull through? Will they be able to listen to their souls, themselves, without all the extra noise and pressure of the world around them? TW: This story contains mature themes, including: mentions of self-harm, suicide, non-sexual nudity, guilt, grief, loss, depression, alcoholism, neglect, body dysmorphia, smoking, Christianity, and underage drinking. This story is not intended to glorify these things in any way, it is meant to address these issues as the characters learn to navigate past them. This story is about more than just this, though -- this story is dedicated to my love of rock music, and the healing powers music can have. This story is about growing up, and finding your place in the world, and learning to deal with heavy things such as mental health disorders, and how music can be a sort of self-healing and self-reflection, along with therapy.

My Girl by anya_jayvyn

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
