you use to be the most bright and bubbly person ever but ever since you lost your whole family in a car accident and barely survived yourself, it all changed, you had gotten selective mutism for the time being from the shock which meant you couldnt speak due to trauma although you went to therapy to try and get your voice back

you hated being at school now, which was once your favorite place to be... you were the best pianists in the school and you took great pride in those performance but you hated it now, the crowd wasnt impressed by you.. no, they completely overlooked it, all they cared about was the accident and pitying you, even your own friends they started to distance themselves

everyone except for justin jay or jj for short, he was in your music class and you always found him annoying... you always thought he was only trying to get close to you to get his way but now everything seemed different, he was the one with you at lunch going on and on about how his day went as he ate with you to keep you company, he was the one who'd stay after school and sit around in the music club watching you practice the piano

"he tried to touch my guitar, yeah the brand new one" he rolled his eyes as he took a bite of his sandwich before noticing you werent eating at all, you were always looking away from him and never interacting with him at lunch despite his efforts but you still ate so he was worried "what? did you lose to another pianist or something?" he frowned nudging your side
