OUT OF THE RED

❝ OUT OF THE RED,
OUT OF HER HEAD
SHE SANG ❞

o. summary

— REAGAN ABNER has too much on her mind. It's always a constant cycle of thoughts, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In relation
to every noted reminder clouding her head, it appears that all she has time for in life is sustaining herself, her family, and occasionally indulging in her talent for drum-playing. But one thing is for certain, and it is that she has no time for anything in regards to the male species, having deemed them all to be careless distractions. Enter Dave Grohl — the distraction of all distractions, one hell of a drummer, and the cherry on top to Reagan's overflowing mind.

oooo. dedications

— kurtsroyalty- uhm wow hi, i love you so much and i'm so glad that our friendship has spanned for so long that you are now witnessing me write a dave grohl story. you are my number one and i don't even want to imagine not knowing you. once again, a story of mine would not exist if it weren't for you being in my life. i love you sofia, you are EVERYTHING!

— NickOlBacc dude, i don't even know where to begin! you're one of the coolest damn people on this site and to see you appreciate my work is an honor. every time i see your comments, i know i must have done something right in order to earn your approval. don't ever leave wattpad — it would be such an icky place without your spirit (and plus i would hate to lose such a close friend)

— kurtspetals 'everlong' literally gave me the first flicker of inspiration ever to write a dave story, so i wouldn't be here right now doing this if it weren't for you. you are such a funny, beautiful girl and i'm so happy to know you!

— Leanniette there are far too many wonderful things i could say about you. you've lifted my spirits even when they've been at their lowest points, and i'm so grateful to have someone i can get lost in conversation with about even the smallest of things. i adore you, woman!

— seasonalstaley you my darling, are too kind to me and i am forever grateful for your support. having you hype me up is a gift, and next to being a lovely individual inside and out, you're one of my favorite people i've yet to meet here. thank you so much love!

— thatbluegibson it would not make sense for me to not include you in my dedications when you downright have written the best dave grohl story i've ever read. we don't know each other personally by any means, but if it weren't for your work, i wouldn't have the courage to capture dave's charisma in writing! but seriously everyone — go read her stories. leave this one and go NOW. you won't regret it.

— ALL of my readers. i wish i could tag everyone individually, but then this list would go on for days. if you've ever spent even a second reading my stories, thank you. you guys are sometimes the only reason i get up and write. every time you read, vote or comment, my heart soars. thank you endlessly.

— to dave, for being a badass motherfucker who i actually hope NEVER lays eyes on this story.
