As I stepped off the bus, I could feel the sigh leave my body. Thank god its Friday I thought as I unlocked my front door. The only ones that lived here were my father and I; my mother died during childbirth, which my father holds against me. My name is Layla, I’m seventeen years old. I am the splitting image of my mother with my long firey red hair and chilly blue-green eyes. I’m not tall but I’m not short either.  I’m the lead singer of Wilting Blossoms. We’re not famous but we hope to be, very soon.

        I looked up from my chocolate muffin as my father stepped into the kitchen with the mail. He tossed a letter on the table in front of me before walking away; I sneered at his back before grabbing the letter, my bag, another muffin and made my way up to my room. I tossed my bag on the floor and placed my muffin on my desk. Turning the letter over in my hands, I closed and locked my door. I sat at my desk and looked around my room. Black walls, white carpet, band posters, green silk covered bed, pictures of family and friends everywhere…I looked at a picture that had six people lazing about a willow tree. I had no idea at that time that we’d become so close...only to be ripped apart. A ghost of a smile came over my lips as I looked at two certain people. One was a boy, short black hair with green eyes; grinning with his arms around a girl who was grinning just as hard as him…I blinked hard to get the memory out of my head, turning back to the letter.  I opened it carefully, sticking my tongue out in concentration.

        I couldn't believe it. I had to tell the rest of my band. I looked at my clock and decided it could wait until morning. I changed, brushed my teeth and crawled between my sheets. This should be interesting, I thought as i drifted off to sleep.
