Maybe It's You.

\\ Prologue //

Most people have heard the phrase, ‘Once In A Blue Moon’. Simply meaning something that happens rarely. I remember my mother would always tell me the one thing this could be about was true love. She would always tell tall tales of Princesses and how they would end up living happily ever with their Prince. Myself being young had no clue what she meant by that given I was obviously too young to understand. I honestly only cared about the Princesses and the Princes, maybe one day I could live my own fairy tale and I had the chance to experience one not long ago when I moved halfway across the world.

I had finished high school with a surprisingly good record and good grades so I had been given a scholarship to any college and to my advantage I chose the University of Music in London, England. It had been my dream as a child to travel all over Europe so London seemed like a good start.

Yes I'll admit it, moving to the big city of London was a big deal, it might make a lot of changes in my life but at least I would have the chance to move away from the small town I lived in, also known as Taft, California. Not much really happened there since most people left and chose to live in the city instead. Most parts of towns brought sad memories. Especially the ones of my best friend.

I remember when I turned sixteen I had been invited to my first ever high school party. There I had lost my best friend, Emma. Apparently mostly everyone had been drunk or too intoxicated to even know what was happening, well one thing lead to another and she committed suicide at a nearby bridge. The news were honestly devastating, I always felt in a way that it was my fault. If I had been a little more sober she would still be here but that's a part of my life I've decided to put behind but everywhere I went in that town, memories would come flooding back so I stopped going out. After that most of my life was spent inside my room. I had found a passion for writing and creating music and ever since then it's been my getaway.

I absolutely loved the feeling that took over me when I was either writing a song or singing it. It was like I was no longer myself, I was in another world, I had become another character, I had become that song. I knew it was something I wanted to work with for the rest of my life and so I did.

My family had been supportive of it especially after Emma passed. It was a ‘hobby’ that helped me by. My family consisted of my very dearly mother Linda, my older brother by two years Caleb and myself. My dad had passed away in a car crash when I was just two months old so I never had him around. I really can't say I missed him, I never met him or knew anything about him given my mom nor Celeb would ever speak of him.

So that was life for me there. When I wasn't doing music, I was bored for the majority of my time. Same old routine I guess growing up in a small town does that to you. So I left.
