A Work Of Art

(The Previous Five Years)
(Maddeline's POV)-
I'm on my way to the family Christmas dinner which should be one of the most exciting things in my life (not). I hate Christmas, everyone is just so...joyful. Why? Wow... I really am a bah-hum-bug! I still have another hour to go before I arrive at the family house I grew up in. And in our household, for Christmas, we all have to wear matching red sweaters. It is the worst possible thing a person is made to do! Well not really, the worst possible thing that I am being made to do, is tonight, it is being that I have to be in the same house as my step father and step brother.


My step father isn't that bad unless you are counting the numerous times he has raped me and bashed me?... But unlike him, there is then my step brother. Andrew Dennis Biersack. I want to vomit every time I say, think of, or hear his name. I hate him, and I mean I hate him with a passion. There is only one slight problem with the relationship we have though, we actually understand each other. Between Andy and I, we have so many things in common, excluding the facts that we are related and he is in a band that has hit the stage 'Big Time'. He is in a band called Black Veil...uhmm, something. I really don't care what the name of his band is, the only thing I know is that he is already successful and he is only 17. I honestly do not think that it is fair at all. I am a whole year older than him and I am stuck working as a bartender at my uncle's bar!


I soon get bored of looking out the windscreen, and windows of my car seeing nothing but dry grass and dead shrubs. The drive from Nevada to Colorado was excruciatingly hollow, there was nothing to look at or remotely listen to. I literally mean there was nothing to listen to, well... there was but i didn't class it as music as it was either Folk music or more Folk music and i really only listened to all of the Metal/Rock based music, Jazz/Swing music and of course my favorite...Classical music.


I had had enough by this time of my travelling so I grabbed out Queen's, Greatest Hits album and slotted the CD into the player of my Red, 1964, Convertible Mustang (remembering that the Mustang has been upgraded to suit the Generation 'Y' standards. e.g. adding, a CD Player, an awesome stereo system, air conditioning and a last but not least, a GPS system), and then turning the volume up as loud as it could possibly go, to drown out the sound of the wind from the flipped down roof of the speeding car.


The first song I played from the album was of course Queen's hit song Bohemian Rhapsody, I sang along to all of the lyrics, including the part in it where I screamed “ Bismillah! No, we will not let you go. (let him go!), Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let him go!), Bismillah! We will not let you go. (Let me go!), Will not let you go. (Let me go!), Never, never let you go. Never let me go, oh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.” Trying to match the pitch of Freddie's amazing voice. It is my favourite song of all time and after it finished I continued to sing along to all of the other songs on the album.


I arrived at my parents house as the last chord of Seven Seas Of Rhye played, which is the last song recorded from the album. At this point of time I really just wanted to back out of the driveway and head home again so i didn't have to go back through the painful memories of family life and my childhood, but of course it was to late for me to have any type of savior. My over excited mother had already seen me and was scrambling out the front door still wearing an apron and oven mittens, wanting to greet me for the first time in a year, all while she was shouting insane passages of language that I could not even decipher. I swear the phrases she was saying weren't even in the English speaking vocabulary!


All i knew was, i was in for a long night of unwanted conversations and activities. -_-
