My first narrative



It’s been a month since I have seen Ayden. My parents even forbid me to talk on the phone with him. I have to sneak out of the house and around the corner to the next public phone in order to be able to speak with him. It’s not like he lives too far away, but my parents just don’t approve of him. They consider him trash and a bad influence, just because his family isn’t as wealthy. They don’t understand that he is the one that gives me strength and support. He accepts me for who I am, unlike my parents. They don’t agree with anything I do, and I’m pretty sure they are ashamed of me. I don’t live up to their standards, and I honestly don’t want too. They want me to dress in “rich people” clothes and act in ways that display my wealthy heritage. I don’t want that. I just want to be a normal teenager. Ayden taught me to be proud of myself and not to let others bring me down. I truly love him, but everyone thinks I’m too young to know what love is. Maybe they didn’t know that when they were my age, but I certainly do. Every time I’m around him, I get this feeling deep down in my stomach. I don’t even know how to describe it, but to say that it is incredible. It’s the best feeling in the world. When I’m with him, I actually feel important and like I’m someone special. As I lay in his arms, I forget everything. It’s like time has stopped, and him and I are the only people that exist. So not seeing him is the worst thing that could have happened to me. I miss him more than anything. Often, at night, I go upstairs into my room and cry as I’m thinking about him. Then I turn up our song, Thunder. It gives me strength, and while I listen to it, I know that he is doing the same thing at the exact same moment.
“Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you’re unlike any other?
You’ll always be my thunder and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don’t want to ever love another
You’ll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder”
-“Thunder” by Boys Like Girls

I thought...

...that I could also use album covers or band pictures for my concept folio (emotions expressed through music). Album covers represent the music on the CD, and therefore often express emotions that are also shown by the music on the album.
