“Do you have anywhere you like to go when you’re feeling sad or lonely?” I implore.
“Yeah, I sometimes like to go to one of the local cemeteries and sit with the lost souls who’ve left this world. It sounds a little morbid, but I consider them my friends. I talk to them about life, death, and everything in between. Sometimes I imagine them talking back to me. Knowing some of them died feeling lost, alone, or even hated, and still might’ve gone to a better place makes me feel a lot better about my own life.”
“You know, I can only speak for myself but there are moments when I just truly need to sit with my sadness—with my hurt. I need to isolate myself with that feeling of self-loathing and guilt I personally carry because it’s a reminder of how far I’ve come on my own journey and it causes me to remember that I’m capable of truly feeling when I’m numb to the world around me. There are always going to be painful things that happen in this life, maybe things I wish I could change or take back, but they’re all things that shaped me and helped me grow in ways I probably wouldn’t have otherwise. Maybe I wouldn’t be here talking to you so you don’t feel so alone in the world. But I am, and I’m here for you on those nights that the voices in your head get too loud or when the ghosts don’t talk back. You have someone on your side now.”
“You sound too good to be true. You make me feel like I don’t have to hurt…”his voice trails off and I feel my nerves spike again as his pain resonates with my own.
“Do you feel like you might need any immediate help? I have counselors I can refer you to if you’d like?”
“No. I guess I’m just looking to find a reason to keep going… This life, and my purpose in it, is starting to feel… I don’t know. Talking to you is nice though. I think it might help me find my reason to continue on.”
“I’m so glad you think so. I can do a follow up call in the future if you’d like or you can even log in to the app and search for the messenger option. Everything is anonymous so you’ll never have to worry about your privacy being violated, but it’ll give you an open line of communication directly to me. You’ll just need to enter my counselor code: eight, seven, eight, seven, eight. If you forget that, just remember it spells the word ‘trust’.”
“I’d really like that.”
“Me too. Is there a name you’d like to go by? It can be anything other than your given birth name.”
“Sure, you can call me… Jax.”

Viper Addition
Man,ohman,haveI got the hottest news to share with you! Can you guess which of our beloved Viper’s is finally back on the market? I’ll give you a couple of hints:
1)He’s been voted Sexiest Man Alive for the last three years! (Swoon much?)
2)His voice makes angels cry and women’s panties drop! (He can have mine any day!)
3)He’s the Rock God of our dreams!
Sources say they’ve expressed grave concern over the breakup of our very own Axel Dylan and his wife Allison Dylan. Apparently there’s been trouble in paradise for quite some time and that mama bird finally had enough, packing up herself and her daughter, then they flew the coop. What are we going to do without our princess gracing us with her stage presence?
“Allison and Axel have been together for years. They were high school sweethearts—the definition of true love. I can’t imagine them not being together, you know? It’s tragic.” -anonymous
“He’s so distraught, he hasn’t made music in days! Can you believe it?” -anonymous
“This has been a nightmare for Viper. Axel won’t talk to anyone right now. I’m all for self-reflection but this is getting scary. He won’t even talk to his bandmates and they’re his best friends.” -anonymous
“What’s going to happen to the band?” It’s the number one question trending on all social platforms right now, with #KeepViperTogether being the number one used hashtag, followed up closely with #WeStandWithAxel and #WheresOurRockPrincess.
It’s clear that Allison has taken LA’s favorite rock ‘n’ roll princess and gone into hiding and inquiring minds are definitely wanting to know where they’ve gone and more importantly, when are they coming back?
No word yet on whether this is a separation or if we’ll be seeing a full dissolution of marriage in their futures. Right now, we can only hope for the best and wish the family luck.
I know we were all hoping to see Ainsley James Dylan collaborate with her Rock God daddy one day, so let’s hope she comes back soon!
We love you Rock Princess!
And Axel, if things don’t work out, my email is at the bottom of the article *Wink* (Kidding! …Sort of).
