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 had always been routine growing up — conversation over carefully prepared food, polite smiles, and quiet judgment tucked between sips of wine. But tonight, the air was taut with something unfamiliar. 


Finally the nock on the door comes. I open it before Ian could reach it. And there he was. 


In a dark, pressed button-up, hair tamed, tattoos mostly hidden. The only giveaway was the nervous quirk at the corner of his lips. 


Ian barrelled past my legs and jumped straight into Drew’s arms. “You’re late!” 


Drew laughed, catching him easily. “Traffic. But I brought bribes.” 


He pulled out a small chocolate bar and handed it over with exaggerated secrecy. Ian’s eyes sparkled. 


Their first encounter and they just click. My heart swells, looking at them acting like they've been like this forever. 


Behind me, my father cleared his throat.
