Some hearts never stop singing the same song.
Audrey doesn’t believe in fairytales—especially not the kind where a long-lost pen pal grows up to become a rockstar... and forgets her.

Years later, she’s grounded, thriving in a promising career, and guarding a heart that’s learned not to hope. But when fate throws Drew—now a global sensation and the ghost of her teenage years—back into her life as her new neighbor, everything she thought she'd buried begins to rise.

He’s still magnetic. Still infuriating.
Still the boy who used to call her after every show.

And he remembers everything.

What begins as a cautious reconnection spirals into a slow-burning storm of music, memories, and feelings they never quite had the courage to explore. But Drew’s past is darker than she imagined, and Audrey’s walls are higher than ever.

Can a rockstar with a broken rhythm and a girl who learned to dance alone find harmony again?

Or is it all just… make believe?

Make-believe with my Rockstar

Dinner was ready—only the guests were still missing. I was caught in my thoughts when the front door finally clicked open. 


Show-off. Drew had used the spare key—obviously just to flex in front of the others. 


"Is there something you want to tell us?" Bono raised an eyebrow, eyes darting to the key in Drew’s hand. 


"Umm... welcome to my humble abode?" I offered with a sheepish grin. 


"Why does he have it?" Bono pressed again. 


"Why not? He’s a friend. And my neighbor. I might need someone to check on the place if I’m gone for long..." 


The boys laughed, clearly unconvinced, but merciful enough to drop it. They shuffled to the table, immediately making approving noises as they scanned the spread I’d made: rice, veggies, Hasselback chicken with pesto and mozzarella, along with appetizers and salads. Enough food to feed an army. And an army they were. 


"Damn, Lovey, you’re ruining us. I can’t go back to instant ramen after this," Jace commented, mouth half-full.
