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

Last night was fucking difficult. I can’t believe I shared all that with Drew. I meant it when I told him everything — about Ian, about the guilt, the way my past stains every part of who I am now. But still, it feels unreal. Like I stripped down emotionally in front of him and now there’s nothing to hide behind. 


And then I wake up alone. Unsure how to feel about it. 


Perhaps it’s for the best. Gives me time to recollect myself. I need a jog to clear my head. 


When my phone buzzes and his name appears on the screen, my heart lurches. 


“Morning, sweetheart,” he replies. His voice is lighter than expected — teasing, almost. “Do you have any plans for today?” 


“Not really... just about to go for a jog.” 


“Perfect. Forget the jog. I want to take you somewhere.” 


“Drew, I just stepped out. I’m in joggers and one of your hoodies. I look homeless.”
