Living a life you didn't sign up for is hard, but doing so while feeling lost is harder.

Dylan Amity is a musical prodigy. He could play a range of instruments, from the electric guitar to his violin. He lived, ate, and breathed music and was on track to becoming the orchestra's lead violinist. 

He was ready to become one of history's best composers. 

But he decided to place his dreams on hold for a while when he found out that his dad, the CEO of Amity Industry, was diagnosed with stage three lung cancer.

His dad's death was expected, but the way he died wasn't. After the reading of the will, Dylan is faced with the harsh reality that you don't always get what you want.

Following a short period of grief, Dylan is thrust into a world of business, responsibilities, and guardianship. He never wanted to be CEO, but now he has to because it's what his dad wanted. He also never expected to be Amber's, his thirteen-year-old sister's, legal guardian.

Dylan has to put his dreams aside as he learns to navigate his new life without any experience of being a CEO or a guardian.

Without a guide, Dylan is bound to feel lost, but maybe Rose could help.

Maybe she could teach him how to deal with it.

•••

Sneak Peek:

"You know what, Amber? At least I'm fucking trying!" I gritted out, meeting her eyes that practically blazed with fury.

"Yeah! Trying to act like papa. But guess what, Dylan, you never cared about me or what I did!" She screamed, taking steps back towards the stairs. "You never cared when I was a baby, you didn't care when I was a toddler, and guess what! You don't care now. You're only pretending to care to make yourself feel better. But you don't! No one fucking cares."

"Its been one year and eight months since, and now all of a sudden you bring her up, why now? Out of all days?" I ask Jake sincerely. "I can see the act your putting up in front of everyone. The recklessness and all. You can get away with all of that with everyone else, but you can't fool me Bil," Jake tells me concerningly. "Why does it matter? I moved on, I have Drew. I'm not stuck on her anymore. Clearly - I've proven that by now," I say to Jake. "Do you mean that sincerely?" Jake asks me. I huff before looking back at Jake. "Yes. I do," I say to him truthfully. "Alright well. Finneas decided that it was best that I'd break the news to you," Jake says before sitting up in his seat. I look at him with my eyebrows furrowed, and suddenly a deep trench of anxiety forms in the pit of my stomach. "What is it?" I ask him. He hesitates before speaking. "Lilith is coming back to LA to work on the stage crew," Jake says. My eyes slightly widen. Fuck. ~~~ A year has gone by and now Lilith is back.

~"I will help her. I have to." Dylan snaps and Steve holds his hands up in surrender. "Alright, alright. Why are you so riled up anyway? You never care about anyone this much. Even us." He says and Dylan looks away. "Dylan. He's right." Brett says and Dylan grumbles. "You like my sister don't you?" Ashley asks and his body stiffens. "Not exactly." He sighs and a sad smile spreads over Ashleys face. "Finally someone worthy enough. So far." She says and Dylans face grows hot so he looks at the floor. "I promise I'll save her.

--- In the dead of night, Dylan stands on the edge of a bridge, her mind heavy with the pain she's carried for years. The world around her feels as distant and cold as the dark waters below-a mirror to the weight of her broken family and lingering sadness. In that moment, she makes a decision: to step away from it all and find silence in the depths. As she falls, what she expects to be the end takes a surprising turn. Instead of the finality she anticipated, she's pulled into an unexpected chance-a chance to keep going. Her survival, though unplanned, forces her to confront the life she thought she was ready to leave behind. Waking on the riverbank, drenched and aching, Dylan faces a reality that refuses to let her go. The house she returns to feels just as empty, and her father barely notices her presence. Yet, something shifts inside her. As the sun rises, she realizes that while her world remains harsh, there's something more out there, waiting. What comes next isn't an easy path. Dylan's journey forward challenges her, pulling her into new connections and experiences that chip away at the armor she built around herself. Slowly, with each step, she begins to understand what it means to truly live-not just to survive. Dylan's story is not about giving in but about figuring out who she is when everything else falls apart. Through unexpected friendships and moments of clarity, she learns that while the past still lingers, there is more to discover, more to feel, and maybe even more to hope for. ---
