{Prologue: Blood}
Monday, September 12th
11:59 a.m.
It was officially fall, one of if not the most beautiful seasons of the year. This was the time everything was gonna loose it's color and it's life. Everything was gonna die and you could actually also notice that by looking out the window.
There were red, brown, orange and yellow leaves all over the ground and the trees that lost them looked sad. The sky seemed to get darker too, it was because the sun hid behind a cloud as if it was because something scary was about to happen, the sun just didn't want to show itself. Maybe it was not even scared maybe it was sad too, just like the trees and their lost leaves.
Why do I think that fall is beautiful if I'm describing it as sad? Well, why can't sadness be beautiful? For me beauty is not always a positive thing. Beauty has got many shapes and colors and everybody should be allowed to have a definition of their beautiful. For me fall is beautiful because it calms me, it's emptiness gives me an space to enter find myself in that sadness. Sadness comforts me somehow.
The bell rang interrupting my buzzing mind, and I looked at the professor for a second and then back down to start collecting my books from the table.
I loved the last ten seconds before the bell rang. When you know that your time in hell has come to an end and you can do whatever you want later on. I feel like the last ten seconds of class are the most intense time I experience on a day at school.
The bell for the lunch break had rang and I felt a little disappointed because I forgot to keep focus, just to experience those last few seconds.
"What are we gonna do?" Before I could do anything else Taichi said sitting down next to the empty chair next to me. "Are you hungry?" He gave me a light hit on my right shoulder, his red hair which was tied up in a loose ponytail with some strands of hair failing into his face shone because of the sun shining on it from the window.
As I shook my head for no Taichi came closer towards me so that he was almost whispering into my ear. "I think that the music room is empty, we could go there." He winked at me making my lips curve up into a smirk.
"The break is short, we won't be able to make music at all." I sighed with an amused expression drawn over my face knowing where this conversation was going to end. I continued collecting the books from my table as my best friend kept quiet.
I gazed at him, it seemed as if he was looking for an excuse to make me follow him into the music room. His expression changed from a neutral one to a annoyed one.
Without a word he suddenly grabbed onto my arm making me drop the books I was collecting that moment. A sharp gasp left my lips as he was dragging me out of the door with lewd laughter escaping his lips.
The next thing I knew was that we were running down the hallways full of people towards the music room which was on the other end of the school.
It was fun, just the thought of how we could get in trouble made me feel anxious yet it was so thrilling and I loved that feeling. I opened the door revealing the room full of instruments and some mics. The temperature of the room was warm and the smell of old wood and new car welcomed us. Strangely I loved that smell, because all music rooms smell like that. Whenever I would be able to recognize the smell I'd know that I was inside of a music room and it would make me happy. There were wires all over the ground and a speaker in each corner of the room.
"Yesss!" Taichi cheered feeling satisfied that the room was empty, he walkers towards a bass guitar placed right next to the speaker and picked it up.
"You down for some music?" He smirked at me turning the instrument on and running his pink-painted, slender fingers over it.
Taichi was a bassist, and I think that it was pretty obvious. He had that bassist look on himself, long red hair and baggy colorful clothes, with all kinds of flowers and butterflies over them. He loved flowers, he would always be extremely happy whenever I would get him flowers for his birthday or just pick a flower from the side of the road and had it to him whenever I had the chance to.
I couldn't help but smile at his excitement.
"Hell yes." I didn't hesitate any longer and walked to the next e-guitar laying around picking it up and turning it up on the speaker.

It happened again, I completely lost track of time and forgot that I had a class to attempt. It was pretty normal for me to get lost and caught up in the moment every time I'd pick up a guitar.
I was hurrying towards class when I suddenly heard noises somewhere in the hallway making me stop my feet.
It seemed like the strange noises were coming from the hallways around the corner. Even thought I was running late and should mind my own business I couldn't help but let my curiosity take over me, so I stopped running and walked towards the place those noises were coming from.
As I walked I towards the sounds I couldn't notice a figure on the ground, it was a guy on the floor holding onto his stomach as if he was in pain. I walked closer towards him I could see that he was spitting out blood so I kneeled down grasping at his arm with concern. My brows shot up and my eyes widened.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked him feeling myself panic since I've never been in a situation like this before.
He just kept quiet resting his forehead onto the floor making me take him under the arm and help him sit up.
He grasped back at my hand weakly, leaning his body weight all on me as I tried to make him stand up by grasping at both his arms.
As I grabbed him under his left arm it was so fragile and thin, it seemed as if he was made of glass. His small figure slowly walking next to mine. That, however, was the only thing I kept in memory, his fragile body.
