Introduction
It was June 1, 2018, Lola's twenty-first birthday. Her বন্ধু were celebrating with her. As they were enjoying some cake, John asked, "What was your life like before আপনি met your band mates, Lola?" She said, "It was okay, I guess." Peter asked, "Was it as tragic as Paul's?" She said, "Not really. It had its good and bad points. Are আপনি sure আপনি want me to talk about it?" Allen said, "Yes." Erin said, "You haven't really told us much about your childhood." Lola was apprehensive. Paul said, "It's all right. আপনি can tell us." Carl said, "That's right. We're your friends." Lola smiled and said, "All right. I'll tell you."

Lola's Early Life
I was born on June 1, 1997. I was an only child. My parents only wanted one child. Growing up, I did wish I had a younger brother অথবা sister so that I'd have somebody to play with. Despite the fact that I didn't have any younger siblings, I was very nurturing from a young age. One day, I found an injured bird. She was unable to fly. I nursed her back to health and released her back into the wild. I also helped an orphaned raccoon. Once he was old enough to live on his own, I released him into the wild. The only pet I ever had was a gerbil. His name was Francis. Sadly, he passed after three years. Gerbils usually only live two years, so three is old for a gerbil. I always wanted a dog, but my father was allergic to them. I later learned that he wasn't the only one with allergies. One Christmas, I learned that I was highly allergic to pine. We had a beautiful pine বৃক্ষ as our বড়দিন tree, but I had an allergic reaction. I became sick with a severe case of sinusitis, and I spent বড়দিন in the hospital. Every বড়দিন since then, we used fake trees. Despite the fact that I am the nurturer, getting people to like me wasn't always easy. I don't understand why. My teachers always ব্যক্ত that I was the sweetest kid.

One day, I woke up thinking it was a Saturday. I went back to sleep, but my aunt woke me up. She said, "Erin, it's time to get up." I asked, "Why do I need to get up so early on a Saturday?" She said, "You're a দিন off. It's Friday, dear." I groaned. She said, "Come on, Erin. It's not that bad." I said, "I don't have any friends. It's not worth it." She said, "Maybe today will be your lucky day." That gave me the strength to get out of bed. Later in gym class, I was bullied again. I pretended that I needed to use the restroom so that I could cry. I hid in the stall and cried. A few moments...

After losing my best friend, Barry, I slipped into a depression. My grandparents refused to see me. My less consistent বন্ধু turned their backs on me. The only ones there for me were my aunt and uncle, my brother, Daniel, and my cousin, Barbara Ann. I had very little, if any, self-confidence. I didn't even try to confront Grandpa again, fearing he would beat me again. The only thing that brought me any happiness was music. I still enjoyed the Beatles above all others, but I liked to explore different bands as well. I overheard someone talking about a metal band called System of a Down, so...

A few months passed, and I was still suspicious of Grandpa. He continued to give out hints that he probably murdered my father when I was really young. Grandma never spoke to me, unless I spoke to her. When I asked her about my father, she dodged the প্রশ্ন and changed the subject. Either she was involved, অথবা she was trying to protect Grandpa. One cold December day, I was walking in the forest with my dog. I suddenly heard someone faintly say my name. I looked over and saw Barry. He was lying in the snow, shivering. I said, "Oh, my God! Barry! What happened?!" He ব্যক্ত weakly, "I was walking...

Despite the fact that I no longer had Christian faith, I still went to church to amuse my grandparents. I said, "I don't believe in their ways anymore." My aunt said, "I know, Erin. This is to amuse Grandma and Grandpa. It makes them happy." I said, "All right, but here's a warning. Someday, I'm going to get tired of smiling and nodding." One day, I did. Because of my opinionated উত্তর to Grandma's প্রশ্ন in Sunday School, I got kicked out of Sunday School. When Grandpa found out, I knew I was in trouble. After lunch that Sunday, Grandpa ব্যক্ত to me, "Let's go outside." That never meant...

Ever since I had হারিয়ে গেছে my mother, সঙ্গীত helped me cope. I didn't have very many বন্ধু at school. I got bullied a lot, and আরো so after my mother's death. The only consistent friend I had was my best friend, Barry. He was there for me during the funeral and everything. One day, he said, "Well, it's been two months, hasn't it?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "I know it's been painful and difficult for you." I said, "Yeah, I miss my mother very much, but I'm doing okay." He said, "I can't imagine what that's like, but if আপনি need to talk, I'm here." I said, "Thanks, Barry." Even my বন্ধু in Sunday...

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. When I picked আপনি up from school, I met some of...

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?" He said,...
