Rudi Clifford has grown up in the shadow of her older brother, Michael Clifford.
She's never had a plan in life and frankly doesn't know where she's going. Terrified for the future, and it doesn't help when it always seems like Michael had his whole life in the bag. Calm, collected, and musically skilled.
The only person to ever seem to see anything in her was Calum Hood, a classmate of both Michael and Rudi and a best friend of both.
Growing up together, Rudi and Calum form a deep interest in each other until all goes bad when Michael wants to start a band.
Calum, Michael, and two other boys form 5 Seconds of Summer, and from there, nothing is the same. Rudi and Calum start to hate each other for unspoken reasons, and everything just goes downhill.
With a protective brother, best friend, silent follower, and the worst person in her life, will Rudi be able to fix every broken piece?
When the only person Juliet has left gets in trouble and is taken away from her, she enters into the system. She meets a ton of new people- more than she ever had before. This will change her. But for nothing? "The police station is smelly and gray. I wish somebody was here with me. The circumstances were different than the last time I was here. But I must admit my life is different than the last time. I still didn't know if this heartbreak, confusion and absolute hatred I felt now inside of me was better than a nice beating. At least back then I deserved it."
