Beautiful Rupture

Fifteen year old Art and Musical genius Aria Collins life has taken a turned from being simply a teen to having the responsibility of her family on her shoulders. Ever since she was ten, she has been taking care of herself, her younger brother and her unstable and drunken mother ever since her father's death. Unable to overcome the grief and pain, her mother had an emotional breakdown and later found comfort in drinking, especially those that can make her pass out, and unable to take care of herself or her children. As for Aria, the night that her father died continues to haunt her day after day, night after night and since that night, she had gone mute. The only light she founds in her darkness is her love of music and art and a promise she made to her father.

With an physical and emotionally-detached mother and a five year old brother to take care of, she was homeschool up to her senior year. Under the new state law, she has to start her senior year in a real high school. Being homeschooled all her life, this was an unexpected shift for her. Going to school was just the beginning. She didn't expect her life to change. She didn't expect to meet people who could change her life. She didn't expect to fall in love. She didn't expect someone to see the real her.

A girl in the dark just waiting for a chance in the light.
