Ok, I don't know if this sounds stupid or not. Some of you may have noticed that I have trouble sticking to one story idea (I doubt that I will ever make a story going further than Chapter 5). But anywho, this is my next one. And this time, I already have the whole 'basic' plot down beforehand lol. I know its missing a lot but suggestions, comments, and whatnot are strongly welcomed!
~ All around the world, men and women—especially teenagers—are disappearing one by one. No one knows for sure why and there is no “cure”.
~ Jesse Freeman’s, the main character, father is one of the victims of the “Disappearing Epidemic”.
~ For financial situations, Jesse has to move from Frederick town (haha..haven't figured out setting) to the city, leaving her adventurous childhood friend Austin Laager behind.
~ At her new high school, a few students have disappeared as well.
~ Nevertheless, Jesse chooses which classes she is going to take for the next semester.
~ The school counselor says that Jesse would not be able to graduate from freshman year if she doesn’t take an elective. The school counselor suggests music.
~ Meanwhile, Austin Laager calls Jesse telling her that he has devoted himself to try to find out why teens and adults are missing back at Frederick.
~ In Jesse’s first day of music class, she gets paired up with Michael Randall, a loner, for a project on music composition.
~ The next week of school, the music teacher requires Jesse and Michael to work at one of their houses on the composition project due to the lack of work done at school.
~ When they meet at Jesse’s house, Jesse finds out that Michael has a gift for music. They begin to work on a song titled “Opposite Poles”.
~ The next two weeks, they meet at Michael’s house but Jesse finds out that he has an abusive father
~ To make him feel better, they go to an ice cream shop. Michael pretends to be Jesse’s friend so he can come over to her house more instead of his house.
~ Jesse calls Austin. Though, when she calls him, a woman picks up to say that his family hasn’t been living there for years.
~ It has now been a month and a half, and on their last day of working on Opposite Poles, Michael doesn’t show up.
~ Jesse decides to walk to his house. The door is open. She finds him knocked out on his bed with a bottle in his hand.
**************************
Jesse wakes up in an asylum. Austin asks her what was in the bottle and Jesse doesn’t answer. The reader finds out that the people weren’t disappearing at all—they committed suicide (there were pills in the bottle). Jesse eventually went crazy after another one of the people closest to her (father and Michael) committed suicide. Now in college and a leading spokesperson for suicide prevention, Austin continues to visit his childhood friend in the local asylum.
