The Devil Wants Peace had just finished recording their latest album, their self-titled album. Lenny, their manager, made a tour schedule for them. John, Allen, Peter, and Stan were all excited about their upcoming tour. The পরবর্তি day, they all got ready for their flight to New York, the first stop of their tour. Although John feared heights, he was okay with flying. Usually, someone else would sit দ্বারা the window. Once they arrived in New York, they decided to go to their hotel. John said, "Today has been a long day, and I think it's best to rest for tomorrow." Allen said, "It's especially essential for you. I know আপনি had been sick recently." John said, "It was only a cold, Allen." Stan said, "Yes, but it's clear that you're still feeling some of the effects of it." John coughed into his sleeve. He said, "You're right." Peter asked, "Do আপনি think you'll be able to perform tomorrow?" John said, "I'm sure I will. I haven't been coughing that much. Besides, I've packed plenty of cough drops just in case." The পরবর্তি morning, John, Allen, Peter, and Stan ate breakfast. John was not coughing at all. They later rehearsed. "Jolly good, John!" Peter exclaimed. "Your cough is gone." John said, "I knew it would be." That night, the group gave an astounding performance. After their concert, the group retired to their hotel rooms, eager to conclude their tour the পরবর্তি day.

80smusiclover1 This is looking really good so far. I'm eager to read what happens next.

BingoPB I am, too. I'm glad that John was well enough to perform after being sick.

Rubyrings I'm glad about that too. I was worried for a second that it would be like that time the Beatles had to go on tour without Ringo - but then I thought, no, you wouldn't do that to The Devil Wants Peace.

Roldan13 I'm really glad that John was able to perform. He's the lead singer, after all.

RetroRock64 That's right. Of course, each member of the band is important.

Peaceandlove67 That's right. Of course, The Devil Wants Peace would never go on tour without one of their members. In a fan fiction I did a while back, the rest of The Devil Wants Peace wouldn't even go to the recording studio without John.

One day, I noticed that my mother wasn't অভিনয় right. She was very pale and seemed lethargic. She also had a terrible cough. She went to the doctor and was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was later put in the hospital. The doctor ব্যক্ত that things weren't looking good. It wasn't pneumonia; it was much worse. It was myocarditis. Suddenly, it happened. Her হৃদয় stopped beating. The doctor tried to revive her, but to no avail. I still remember the chilling words like they were ব্যক্ত yesterday: "Time of death: 11:32 pm." I did not want to believe I had হারিয়ে গেছে my mother. At first, I blamed the doctor...

"God is a concept দ্বারা which we measure our pain." I didn't always know অথবা agree with this lyric from John Lennon's song, "God". However, I came to that point দ্বারা the time I was twenty years old. I am one of the dissenters in the Bible Belt, but I wasn't always a, I guess আপনি could say, rebel. When I was much younger, things were different, but seeing hypocrisy and hatred from Christians and unfortunate circumstances in my life changed everything. This is my story. I was born in 1996. Growing up in the Bible Belt, I was raised a Christian, particularly, a Baptist. I grew up without a father, but...

I was beginning to lose hope in the idea of finding a friend. One day, something amazing happened. I saw that I was getting new neighbors. I saw a kid there who appeared to be around my age. I decided to go over and talk to him. I said, "Hi, I'm Winter. It's nice to meet you." He said, "Hi, Winter. I'm George. It's nice to meet you, too." I noticed he had a bit of an accent. I said, "That's a nice accent আপনি have there." He said, "Thank you. I'm from Liverpool, England." I said, "Like the Beatles?!" He said, "Yes." Another Beatles fan! I knew we would get along! I talked with him for a little...

I was always told that the সেকেন্ড দিন of school is never as bad as the first. It's true. My সেকেন্ড দিন of school wasn't as bad as the first. It was worse. One of the bullies poured some water on the floor just to watch me fall. I wasn't hurt, not physically anyway. What did I do to deserve that? I don't know. When I was walking to the bus, some of the other kids threw rocks at me. It really hurt. I came প্রথমপাতা crying. I had some cuts and bruises, but I was okay physically. Emotionally, I was the opposite. My aunt said, "Winter, try to see the good side. You're not hurt too badly. I'm sure you'll...

Moving to Tennessee was bittersweet for me. I was closer to family members, but it was also a big adjustment. I lived in Illinois for the first twelve years of my life. When I started school, I tried to make some friends. A group of kids invited me to sit with them during lunch. "Hooray! New friends!" I thought to myself. I introduced myself. I talked about being from Illinois. To my surprise, they did not make fun of my accent. One of them explained, "You have that there Midwestern accent. It's the accent that doesn't offend nobody. That's why most of them newscasters are Midwestern." I said,...

When I had entered the fifth grade, I was dreading it. I had heard rumors that the teacher was really mean. When I met her before school started, she seemed really nice. On the first দিন of school, I was wearing one of my Beatles t-shirts. She noticed it, and she said, "Darling, I প্রণয় আপনি already!" I said, "Okay, then." She would take up for me all the time. The other kids often called me glasses. She heard them and said, "She has a name, guys. Her name is not glasses. It's Winter." There was one দিন when another girl kept picking on me. I finally had enough and said, "I might look sweet and innocent, but that shit is for suckers, and I'm no lollipop." I looked at the teacher. She winked and said, "I heard nothing." I would have had her for the sixth grade, too, but unfortunately, I moved to Tennessee as soon as the school বছর was over. We both cried. We promised to keep in touch with each other, and we've kept in touch to this day.

When I got a little older, the mean nicknames started to fly. In the third grade, I got called chicken legs a lot. I don't know why. Chickens don't have long legs like mine, the last time I checked. Every time I'd walk through the hallways, someone would shout, "There goes chicken legs." I would remind them, "My name is not chicken legs. It's Winter." দ্বারা the time spring came, I was so tired of being called chicken legs. One day, one of my classmates said, "Hey, chicken legs!" I said, "That's better than what আপনি are." He said, "Oh, really? What am I?" I said, "You're a horse's ass." He didn't...

I was once asked, "If আপনি could compare yourself to a literary character, who do আপনি think you'd be?" I ব্যক্ত that I see myself as the Ugly Duckling. I started out as a complete outcast, and I blossomed into a beautiful swan. This is a metaphor, of course. This is how my story goes. I was raised দ্বারা my aunt and uncle. I never really knew my parents, as I হারিয়ে গেছে them at a young age. I was lucky that they took me in. If not for them, I would have been dumped in a orphanage. I knew that they loved me, but getting everyone else to like me was harder. The other kids picked on me all the time. I don't...

Today was the last full দিন of school. We had our annual awards ceremony today. Some of my বন্ধু got awards for highest average in certain subjects. I didn't expect to get one. I wouldn't have minded if I didn't. But I did! I got the Model Citizen Award. Apparently, many of my fellow students ব্যক্ত some good things about me. After school, I told John about it. He wanted to come, but he was out of town preparing for a সঙ্গীতানুষ্ঠান with his band. He said, "I'm happy for you, Grace! আপনি deserve it." I said, "Really?" He said, "Yes, really.

Today was Good Friday. We got a দিন off from school. I was walking down the রাস্তা with John, and I saw Kimberly, the girl who betrayed me. I kept my head down, hoping she wouldn't notice me, but she did. She said, "Hey, Grace!" I said, "Hey, Judas!" John said, "Oh, so, that's the girl who stabbed আপনি in the back." I nodded. She said, "You're not still sore at me, are you, Grace?" I said, "I forgive, but I never forget." Suddenly, John stuck it to her. He said, "How dare আপনি do this thing to Grace! She had been nothing but nice to her, and আপনি took her হৃদয় and ripped it into...

I'm all better now. I can speak clearly. I am caught up with my school work. I talked with John today. He said, "I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm actually sick myself." I said, "Oh, no! What's wrong?" He said, "It's just a cold. I'm sure I'll be fine in a few days." I said, "I hope আপনি feel better." He said, "Thank you. The worst part is not being able to go to the recording studio with my mates. I hate that I can't do that. They told me that they won't go if I don't. I said, 'No, it's fine. I'll introduce my songs when I come back.' Allen said, 'Take care of yourself, John....

I am sick again. This time, I have laryngitis. I cannot talk at all. I can only communicate through text messages. John came দ্বারা the house. My aunt told him that I was sick. He came into my bedroom. I was excited to see him, and I tried to talk with him, but I couldn't get any words out. He said, "You don't have to talk, Grace. Just listen." I sat up. He said, "I brought আপনি a little present." He reached in his bag and handed me a teddy bear. He said, "My grandmother made if for me when I was five years old." I texted, "John, I can't take this. It's something your grandmother made...

I am so happy that our house has been rebuilt. We settled in just a few weeks ago. Things have been crazy, which explains why I haven't written anything in a while. They've calmed down, thankfully. I am thirteen now. Today was my thirteenth birthday. It was so much better than my twelfth birthday. There was really only one bad part about my birthday. I was browsing the Internet, and I read that Peter from The Devil Wants Peace was in a car crash. I called John to see if it was true অথবা if it was just a nasty rumor. I said, "John, I read that Peter was in a car crash. Is it true?"...

We are now in a new year. School started again today. My schoolmates have been flocking to me, asking me প্রশ্ন about losing my প্রথমপাতা in a fire. It became a game of a thousand questions. The one প্রশ্ন that most of them didn't ask: Are আপনি okay? I became fed up with it. Michael later found me sitting in the lunchroom alone. He said, "Hey. Are আপনি okay?" I said, "You know, you're the only the third person to ask me that." He said, "Really?" I said, "Yeah. I had to get away from all the questions. It was a terrifying experience." He said, "I can imagine. আপনি got burnt pretty...

Even though it is Christmas, things have not exactly been jolly for us. A few weeks ago, our বড়দিন lights had burned our house down. My aunt and uncle escaped unharmed, but I got trapped. I saw a firefighter coming to my rescue, and before I fell unconscious, I said, "Please help me." When I woke up, I was in the hospital. The doctor said, "It's good that you're awake now." I asked if my aunt and uncle were okay. The doctor said, "They're fine. They're in the waiting room right now. আপনি gave them quite a scare, young lady." I said, "I'm not going to die, am I?"

Today was Thanksgiving, (for the United States). Thanksgiving has always been my পছন্দ holiday. It is a time to get together with the family without the pressure of buying gifts for them, and I like food. I helped a bit with preparing the dinner, but I mostly set the table. Grandma didn't want me to burn myself. It's happened in the past. Anyway, John managed to find his way. Whenever we would sit at the table, we would all say what we are thankful for before eating the food. We allowed John to go first, since he was new to the family. He said, "I'm thankful for my band...

I've been having quite a weekend so far. Yesterday, after school, my aunt and uncle noticed that I was still feeling a little down. They decided to take me to a hiking trail, since I enjoy nature. Everything was going well, but suddenly, I got separated from them দ্বারা mistake. I tried to go back the way I came, but there were so many twists and turns, and I became increasingly confused. Pretty soon, I came across a log cabin. I ব্যক্ত to myself, "I wonder if anyone lives there. Maybe I can get some help." I knocked on the door, but the only answer was a barking dog. I decided to...

Today at school, I had my worst দিন yet. I was on my way to my last class, and I overheard Kimberly talking to one of her friends. Her friend said, "I don't understand why you're বন্ধু with Grace. She's just, I don't know, so dorky." I didn't like that, but I kept quiet to see where it was going. Kimberly said, "I'm not বন্ধু with Grace, Isabella!" My eyes widened. She wasn't বন্ধু with me? Was she denying our friendship out of fear? Isabella said, "I've seen আপনি with her, doing the friendly banter. আপনি two do your homework together." Kimberly said, "Okay, here's the thing....

Ever since I saved Freddy's life, my schoolmates have looked at me differently. They actually respect me now. I like that I've gained respect, but I never wanted to be popular. I enjoy being around people, but I hate being the center of attention. It's awful. The জনপ্রিয় girls even look my way now. We don't have a lot in common, but one of them seems nice enough. Her name is Kimberly. However, there might be a problem with her and my other friends, particularly Bridget. Bridget ব্যক্ত to me today, "Grace, it's good that you're nice and friendly to everyone, but I'd watch my back...

Today at school, I had an experience I will never forget. I had just finished my lunch, and I went to throw something away. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting, "Somebody, help! My friend is choking!" I rushed to the scene. One of the kids looked up at me desperately and said, "I don't know what to do." I said, "But I do!" As I ব্যক্ত that, I gave his friend a sharp blow between the shoulders. The boy was able to cough it up forcefully. Once he could talk again, he said, "Thank you." I said, "You're welcome. Are আপনি okay?" He said, "Yeah." Later, I was getting ready to head home....
