1. One Fan Girl

"Looking for answers when there aren't any. But still we learn. Isn't that not what life is about?"

___________________________________________

"And this year's Artist of the year goes to... Heathens!" The presenter announced to the hopping crowed. After the announcement the crowed went crazy, and I too jumped up and down on my bed but with as minimal of a sound as I could make, so as to produce as little noise as possible. The bubbles in my stomach were on high, it felt like I listend to euphoria for the very first time.

The screen displayed a very humble Heathens going on the stage, waving around their hands, looking around, specially at Devils, their fandom, and a bright smile adorned thier face as if they just revived their lover. But we all knew the only lovers at this moment in time were only Heathens and Devils.

Some fans were crying, singing in chorus to the hit song of Heathens which was playing in the background of the event. I had tears in my eyes, they bowed to everyone, not caring if they were staff or the camera man. When they reached the stage, I expected Noah to have the Mic, but Jake beat him to it. Which I already knew, because you know, spoilers?

The first word he said was "Devils!" and I felt loved, that one emotion which I was craving so much from my family, but this seven people who don't even know me, want me to live, to the people like me, to all the unfortunate people like me. All the other members were waving and making hearts to the camera and the crowed.

It was six in the morning, when I found that my friend sent me the whole video of this years American Music Award. I was so happy I could have screamed so hard that all the glasses in the house would be laying in pieces, with three bodies whose death would be caused by brain explosion.

But fortunately, I didn't let that happen as I only scremed in my lovely fluffy and puffy pillows. If I wouldn't have, then definitely, the one laying dead would be me, as mother hates Heathens and she would kick my ass for lossing my mind.

I unfortunately couldn't watch the show live, when it was broad casted. Since mom, Sera and Chris wouldn't let me see the show. How unfortunate of a fate that I have! I cursed my fate.

They are huge haters of Heathens, yeah unfortunately the very people I fight on the net, I live with them. I don't know why fate likes to spit on my face.

I sighed.

I still don't understand, why? Why do they hate them? The very people who have done nothing wrong but gave their daugther hope, love and escape to peace. The very someone, who they don't know? Without even knowing how the person actually is? What are their personalities like and what are they teaching to the people?

That just makes them such a figure in this unjustified world, a world of prejudice.

Mom doesn't hate them though. She just doesn't like the fact of me going crazy over something, liking screaming, defending and talking so lovingly about the people I don't even know personally. I dont blame her, if I didn't meet Heathens, then I too would think I was messed up in the head.

Mom is ill, and she thinks of me even in her sick state. But I know this too, if you don't agree with others opinion, then there is no need to push those opinions or suck rude behaviours, in the name of love. But yet again, I should think more about her, more then anything else, more then myself.

"HEY CILIA CARPENTER! ARE YOU COMING DOWNSTAIRS OR ARE YOU DEAD ALREADY?!" Rang the voice of Sera in my ears like a banshee.

Ugh! I feel so annoyed right now! She is probably throwing a tantrum because of the mess I created last night in order to get my video d******ded. But of course, I didn't get to d******d it, unfortunately yet again. Seriously the luck I got from God, is equal to how cold the sun is!

So I left the mess that I created and went to bed, to sleep like a sloth. I lazily got out of bed, showered, brushed and got dressed. Once I'm done, I sprint downstairs, with my bag hanging by my shoulder. On my way down suddenly, a searing pain courses it's way through my scalp.

"Owch!" I yell in pain and drop my bag, taking a hold of the persons hand that grabbed my hairs, so that they would leave my hair.

"You unworthy little- little thing! Do you see all the mess you created? For whom huh? For those lousy, trashy and money loving gays? Those snakes?"

Now I know why my scalp felt like it was being torn apart. Somebody just yanked a fistful of my hairs. Because of the hate in the words towards Heathens. My heart pained so bad for them, that my mind could not register who's voice my ears had heard.

At first, I thought that it was Sera, but then I saw her sitting across from where I stood, beside the sofa. The voice is female, yet elderly and finally the wheels in my head turned and the registration comes to my mind- MOM!

"Mom! What are you doing? Let go of my hair! Mom! Please, it hurts so bad!" I protest, and tears were stinging at my eyes and I tried to contain them in the jail of my eyes. Mom wouldn't listen, even if I pleaded.

"You ruined everything! My stuff! Where is my stuff?" She asked, her voice filled with rage and hate.

"I really don't know were they are Mom! I really don- ouch... I really don't know were your meds are. It must be somewhere? Were you havent looked yet? We can find it together- ouch... we can find it, mom! Just please let go of my hair now mom, please!" I almost lost the prisoners in the jail of my eyes.

Slowly, she loosened her grip on my open hairs and they fell over my face like a curtain, which I used as a opportunity to suck my tears back.

Mother didn't calm down, she was fuming. Seriously, I have never seen her act like this for her meds before. My scalp still hurts like hell but it's just a little pain, compared to Mom's. Because she is not in her right mind and she must be in lot of pain, to act like this, to hurt me. She is my Mom after all.

Mom just glared at me and without any further words, she retreated to her room, maybe to double check, if she missed spoting her meds. I follow behind, because somehow I feel gulity, like it's my fault.

I stop in my track as I heard Chris's voice rumble "We should probably take her phone away, Mom, She has became very inattentive these day's because of the shits and craps she love! They even wear Make-up! You know who likes those gays!? Children! I guarantee you, they are not even real men to begin with!"

He laughed with Sera like two hooligans. I was fuming with rage, and I felt like a Tiger watching it's next prey. Before I said anything to defend Heathens, he started again. "What were they called again? Damn! I can't even name them! They are so unfamous!! Over rated! What where they called again? Demonic Gays!? Bang those Gays!? LowFun Gays? Shameless boys?" Chris laughs at his own lame jokes, followed by the laughter of Sera.

"Damn man! Why does she like them so much?" Sera states.

I shut my eyes, tryung to stop there words from getting to me.

Sera continued "Why does she even like them so much, when they don't even know who she is?" She questioned.

"To quench her thirst! Because they love each other!" Chris replied and laughed, I felt toung tied, hearing those words.

She then turned towards me and with a little smirk she said "You are just one in a million girl, stop wasting time, they are just pretending to love you, so that their ass can get famous."

They laughed again, while I clenched my fist and my jaws so tight, I might have shattered some of my teeth.

I looked at mom for help, thinking she will say something to shut their shit spitting mouths. I thought she would say somethings on the line that I'm hurt, and it's not right to bad mouth, but no! I was wrong!

She remained silent.

Instead a small smile played in the corner of her lips. Like she enjoyed it. No, she enjoyed the insults which were irrevilant.

Wow, just wow, That made her smile?

How can they live with themelves? How can they make a laugh of someone that they never met? Especially when that SOMEONE did so much for humanity.

Heathens are one reason why some people wake up every day in the morning, Why some people believe that there is still hope in this bitter world. They thought us that the world is sweet, but bitter at the same time, the world is bitter-sweet.

I am one of them, the people who gained themselves again, the self love, the hope, life and friends, lovers at the same time. All in this seven people.

Heathens is all I have, I am nothing, literally nothing without them, just dust, just a broken piece and hopeless promise. But the insults, the hate aimed at someone so beautiful, that's what made Mom smile like there was no other day left on earth, that was the cause of her happiness at this moment. Thats what lightened Mom's mood, despite the fact that she was in a bad temper, and couldn't handle my shit, but she could handle the shit bags words. Talking shit about good people, makes my family's day. That's the kind of family I live in, unfortunately.

Without another word, I lift my bag that had fallen on the ground, and storm outside, the sounds of my feet ringing in the background of their never ending laughter.

Nobody calls out for me, Nobody asked if I had breakfast, Nobody asked if I need a lift to school. My eyes sting with tears that I hold back, because I am not weak, I wouldn't cry, I would not let them win.

"Don't cry... don't cry. Its okay, it's totally fine, there are still people who love you." I chant to myself as I speed walk my way to school.

I tell myself, I can't just break down now. Not when my friends are waiting for me, they would want to know how I felt when I watched The American Music Awards, even if I watched it like six months late.

I should tell them how I felt when I saw them smile, special the boxy smile of Victor, how dashing Heathens looked, how many fans would kill for them and how handsome my bias Victor looked.

They would want to know, and with that, I sighed and pulled myself together. Many people were glancing my way, that's why yet again, I ran like a whale out of water. Because you know? Embarrassment exsist.

Even if the world looks you in the eye and tells you that you are nothing, and you never will be the one in your dreams, or the fact that you are unworthy of anything and nobody appreciates you, remember that there are some people out there who will just think the opposite of that, who will love you, for who you are, of what you have become, of who you will be.

And most of all, it doesn't matter what others think of you, be it good or bad. It's up to you to decide how you will act, kind or rude. Nobody can tell you who you are, You are, who you are, who you wish to be, and what you will be. There is no changing it, opinion does not matter, what matter is your work.

Don't chase people's opinion but chase yours and you will get, what you were waithing for your entire life. So just smile and walk again. As long as you love yourself, that's all that matters, even if it means you have to cut out toxic people.

2. Haters
"And did you see how the Strange Love karaoke started playing, and Victor was a little too late to start singing? Damn he just got to it so quick!" Said Rea, one of my Devil friends.After I reached school, my friends wanted to know how I liked the Award ceremony, being the die heart fan of all. We were all laughing and crying at the same time."Ofcourse I did man! God, he looked so cute with that lost face! Oh I could just die!" I replied."And that part, when they won and Jake was delivering his speech when the podium started going down. Man, his face!" Said Sindy. At once, we all burst out laughing. After a while, Yovonne says. "If only they would tour here once. We could get to see them more closely. We could feel them more nicely."Its true. Heathens never had a concert in Minnesota. Not even once. We have the freedom to call them our own nations boys, but we never get to see them. Not even once."I know right? Of only once, just ONCE if they would visit us, it would mean so much

3. Concert In Minnesota
Things between mom and me were fine, as they were supposed to be. She took good care of me, proud of the way I shut those jerks cake holes. But she never let me do one thing. Watch, listen, see or do Heathens stuff. It angered me a lot, yeah, but she was my mother above everything.She was taking so much care of me in her ill state, I was more then just thankful. She took her meds more frequently than ever, but she wouldn't tell me what they were for. She would say I will worry myself. Indeed I will.What else was I supposed to do then? If not me, then who else?"Have one more dear. Why haven't ypu not been eating lately?" Asked mom, forcing a pancake on my plate as the the four of us sat on the dining table, having breakfast.Sera and Chris stared at me in jealousy. Very good."Mom, I already had four, thanks to you. But I'm really, REALLY getting late now. I will see you after school. Goodbye mom!" I said, getting up from my seat, dusting my school uniform for any imaginary dust."G

4. If I Die
"I just want to die for one day and see who really cares."_______________________________________________I woke up with a start. I opened my eyes and everything around me was dark. From where I lay I saw people running to my right direction frantically. Red lights flashed everywhere. Red lights of a police car. Sirens blared at the same time. Ambulance sirens.Ambulance.Hospital.Death.Someone had died.I picked up my body from the ground. My body felt as light as a feather but I didn't feel light headed. The crowd awaited me at a distance. From were I stood, I watched as people whispered to their relatives. I walked towards them."Is she dead?" One asked the other. "I think so. She isn't moving." Replied the companion."Who died?" I asked out of curiosity but no one replied to me. So I made my way into the heart of the crowd by pushing the people away. Pushing them happened to be a rather easy job. It felt like I barely touched them.When I saw what lay on the ground, my blood we

5. We Will Remember You
The day was sweet and crisp. The sun shone through the shady trees. The butterflies swarmed around, the honeybees picked nector. What a lovely day!What a lovely day to have a funeral.From where I stood, I watched all the people that attended my funeral. Some came for politeness sake, while some came because they missed me.Had a human being ever imagined to witness their own funeral? I guessed not. Looks like I was the only one with a lucky ass. Or am I not? Had their been anyone before me? I wonder.People usually described ghosts to be ugly in their stories. With torn and worn out cloths. I seemed rather different. My black Heathens t-shirt, with which I died, was still new and clean. No blood stains. My black jeans and black trench coat was still crisp with newness. My hair was well combed.The only difference was my face that looked like a corpse. My lips and eyes were blood red, and my skin complexion was pale white. If I would be alive with this face, I would be mistakened f

6. Tin & Hailey
"I have learnt to look back and appreciate my times of trial, because they are also what made me."____________________________________________________A few months later:Life as a walking ghost was far easier than I thought. Unlike human beings, I didn't have chores to handle. I didn't have homeworks, dishes to wash, laundry to do, beds to make etc.What was I expecting? I would have homework and wash dishes even after my death? How ridiculous could I be?Things about me where different too. I could do things people can never imagine. Mortal people would commonly call it as Magic. But here I am, a lost spirit having the ability to do such things when people cannot even see them.Teleporting, telekinisis, telepathy where my major works. I could talk to animals and that reminds me of my horrible encounter I have literally everyday.Having Tin Tin, Victor's dog and Heathens official dog, barking to me to get out everyday.Surely, he doesn't knows why I always stay there. I have to keep

7. Miracles
It was clear, Hailey sucked at dancing. It was not just my thoughts, but even the boys were speechless.They watched as she tried on one of the moves but it more looked like she was trying to remove a bug that settled on her hairs.The boys thought that perhaps she was too shy to dance in front of them, so they hired a female choreographer to help her.One hour of complete failed attempts, the choreographer was pissed off. There was no way they could help her. She sucked at dance by birth and no matter how hard they tried, they all became lost birds.After Hailey's arrival, the boys had a long conversation on each other's life and then on Noah's instuctions, finally set the ball rolling. They discussed for a long time about the video, the song, the concept of the album etc.Hailey was delighted about everything. When she was told about the fact that she would be dancing along side them, she was thrilled. She said it was an honour. So they decided to check on her moves and there they

8. Don't Die, Jules
"Alright, so when I go like THIS, you go like THAT. Understood?" Demonstrated Heli, who was having a hard time explaining Noah the moves. He had been rehearsing that same move for weeks now and he was still progressing. Keyword: progressing.On the other side, Justin was busy explaining Jake who only laughed at everything Justin showed him. Victor scrolled through his phone. Steve dosed off. Mean while, Jules was nowhere to be seen. Twenty minutes until they get to the stage, and Jules was nowhere to be found. The boy's werent aware of it. I walked out of the room to look for Jules and there he was, busting his ass off practicing again. I sighed.That explains it. Why you are nowhere to be found.I walked a few steps closer and took a look at his sweaty face. He was exhausted to the point as if he would have a fit. His face was blood red and his cheeks were hollow. He had been skipping his meals lately.What do I do?"Jules, you need to slow down." I said, patting his shoulder. Jules

9. Murder
A few weeks later:"Hey! I want to go out! I want to go out and celebrate! We just released our new album and look at us! Sitting and making dumplings here." Heli said in irritation."We have no other choice. The album had been released for at least a few hours now. And the world is going crazy already. It's like a time bomb out there. Let things calm a little, then we can have a drink." Steven said. Noah agreed along with him. "He's right. Mr. Albright said we could go out once things quiet down. For now, let's wait. Hailey wanted to get along too. She said she would be coming over tomorrow. We can hang out then."Reluctantly, the others agreed.Six hours had passed since Heathens released their new album, Soulless, with the title track, that is In LUV, featured Hailey.Fans had been going crazy. Not just in USA, but all over the world. Things where a terrible mess in New York since fans where in a frenzy, doing this and that.The boys wanted to celebrate, I wanted them to do too,

10. Dear Guardian Angel
"I try to understand the world, but the world never tries to understand me."____________________________________________"Guys, I'm telling you, there is something. Something that is looking after us. Guiding us. It's that girl, I can feel it." Jules protested as his members kept insisting that there was nothing happening to them but just a leap of faith.Victor and Justin remained silent, believing in him too. It sounded absurd, yes, but they believed that there had to be an explanation to all the unexpected things happening to them.So the younger's believed it to be a guardian angel, that is ME. However Noah, being an ethist, didn't. The other's thought it as a kid's play since it was only believed by the younger one's, so they too didn't believe in it."Jules, that will be enough. You're making no sense. No sense at all.""But what IF it's true? What then?" Justin pushed on."It's not." Jake replied firmly"WHAT IF?" Asked Victor again."Then we just thank the lady for her help.
