I Hate My Life

Octavia Pov:

"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!" I screamed in rage as I rampaged through my room. I shredded sheet music, I threw music stands. I picked one of them up a smashed it against the wall until it broke. My name is Octavia Melody and I hate my life. I used to love my life and my work. I was a first class cellist and everypony knew it. It had been my dream to make it into the Canterlot Symphony and when I finally did, my life took a turn for the worst. It was horrible, The conductor was a horrible stallion who would do anything to keep his rep. Everything was dull here, nopony cared about each other. It was a constant battle for survival between all the members of the Symphony. It was the same thing day in and day out, the orchestra would work me to death and then I was expected to do the same the next day. I thought I would grow used to this at first, but I never did. My friend Lyra, smart mare she was, got out of Canterlot as soon as she could and moved in with her wife in Manehatten to work there instead of this Celestia forsaken place. I then turned to my cello. I used to view it like how a loving mother would view her child. Now, it was the source of all of my anger. It's the thing that got me my job at the Canterlot Symphony. The place that killed me on the inside more and more everyday. I hated that place. I hated my life. I hated my cello. I picked it up and brought it back down on the ground in a powerful slam. I did this over and over until it was in pieces. I then picked up my bow and snapped it in half. I moved onto my bed and buried my muzzle in my hooves. I had on more than one occasion considered killing myself, but I just couldn't do it. I'd like to say it was out of naive hope that my life would change someday, but it wasn't. The one thing that was keeping me from killing myself was my best friend, Vinyl Scratch.

"Tavi, I'm home!"

Oh. Speak of the devil.

"I know it was my turn to cook and I'm sorry that I didn't, so on my way back home I picked up some hay burg-WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!" She screamed as she opened the door to my room. She dropped the bag of food and galloped to me, jumping over everything. When she was in reach, I wrapped my hooves around her and buried my muzzle into her chest and began to cry.

"I HATE EVERYTHING!!" I screamed into Vinyl's alabaster fur.

"Tavi, what happened?" Vinyl asked as I broke down into a sobbing mess in her fur.

"SWEET LUNA'S ASS YOUR CELLO!" I heard her scream, she started to pull away to go over to it but I stopped her.

"FUCK MY CELLO! IT'S THE REASON WHY I HAVE SUCH A SHITTY LIFE." I screamed.

"Tavi, what in Equestria happened?!" She demanded.

"I had enough bullshit, that's what." I said bluntly.

"Tavi, you worked your ass off to get into the Canterlot Symphony."

"And it took so little effort to make sure I will NEVER have to set hoof in there EVER AGAIN!" I said with a smile. I was genuinely happy at the fact that I had just secured myself from ever having to go back that hellhole again.

"Tavi, just what did that place do to you?" Vinyl asked in concern.

"It took away my love for music." I said.

"How can you hate music?1 It's your special talent!" Vinyl exclaimed.

"Not all music, just classical." I said. I sighed deeply before pulling myself off of the only pony that was ever there for me.

"Would you mind gathering all of the pieces of my old Sheet Music and cello and meeting me outside in the back?" I asked.

"Uh, Sure Tavi." Vinyl agreed. She picked up all of the stuff in my room with her magic before taking outside. After a few minutes of sitting on my bed I got up and flipped it over with the last remnants of my rage. I then trotted into the kitchen and got a bottle grill lighter fluid. I got outside and found that Vinyl had put everything in one easy to burn pile. I dumped the entire bottle over the whole thing before striking the match on my hoof and throwing it in. I watched with a satisfied gleam in my eyes as my old life burned to ash.

"Sweet Celestia, Tavi!" Vinyl Screamed.

"I'm never going back. Ever." I said happily. Vinyl looked at me for a few minutes before she sat next to me and wrapped her forehoof around me.

"Well, all of this won't change one thing." She said.

"And what is that?!" I demanded.

"I'm never leaving you. No matter what happens." She said determined. I broke down at this and leaned into her.

"Do you want to move away from Canterlot?" She asked me.

"Yes. The further away from that shithole the better." I said leaving no room for argument.

"I can't believe you snapped so hard, Tavi." She said as she caressed me soothingly.

"I'm fed up with this shitty way of life. I'm never going back there ever." I said yet again.

"Where do you want to go?" Vinyl asked me.

"Can we move to Ponyville? I heard that Lyra and Bon Bon moved there recently." I said.

"Alright Tavi. I have some friends who live there so we will be able to get a job fairly easily." Vinyl informed me. I smiled at her.

"Can you teach me how to be a DJ?" I asked, causing her to levitate a glass of water out from the kitchen and do a spit take.

"What?!?" Vinyl gasped. I rolled my eyes.

"Vi, I was serious about my new found hatred for classical music. I want to be more like you if you could teach me." I asked again.

"Well I like mixing wood instruments into my tracks sometimes, since you will most likely never play the cello again, would you like me to teach you the violin or do you already know how to play?" She asked.

"You know how to play the violin?" I teased. This time it was her turn to roll her eyes.

"Kidding, I've heard you play it before when you thought I was asleep. You are very good."

"As long as it isn't Classical I'm open to anything." I told Vinyl. I never thought that I would say this, but I am so happy that I destroyed my cello.
