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

Rob had left with a ton of warnings. He’s worried about me—drowning in all of this. He knows what’s going on back home and how everything is weighing on me. And now Drew. 


He looked like he was doing good. Stupid me. Did I really think it would be that easy? What do I even know about addictions and rehabs? My life, in a nutshell, has been a fight for the opposite. Always staying in control, planning properly, strict daily routines. No room to breathe, let alone live carelessly. 


I watch him sleep peacefully, left with my mess of thoughts. Can he make it this time? I want to do this for him. Not me. Not us. Him. He has a chance to fight this, change his life around—unlike people who are just shoved into a new reality by force, with no way out. 


His hand twitches and his eyes flutter open. 


“Hey,” he breathes. His voice is thick and raspy. “What time is it?”
