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

I’d only been gone three days — a quick trip to New York with Jeremy for a meeting — but it felt like forever. Sitting on the plane back, I couldn’t stop thinking about Audrey. About how things had felt strained between us. I’d given her the space she needed before I left, no pressure, just a hug — a simple embrace that said everything without words. No kisses, no promises. Just a silent I’m here. 


The end of the year was coming, Christmas was near, and it made me want to fix things more than ever. Audrey felt like home. She was my anchor. And I couldn’t leave for the tour without making sure we were alright. 


“What’s on that restless mind of yours?” Jeremy nudged me. 


“Just… a lot to think about,” I sighed. “We had a fight before I left. You know how I get sometimes — my mouth runs before my brain can catch up.”
