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

The chaos had long settled, family gone, routine was creeping in. 


My company was on an extended holiday sabbatical, which left me with more time than I knew what to do with in January. But Drew had other plans. I found myself dragged into the studio, pulled into their world so effortlessly it made me second-guess everything. Years of it—locked in my chest—came rushing back: the music, the writing, the recording, the planning, the prepping for tour. 


The word alone had me on edge. It was the first time I’d experience, this closely, what it meant to watch Drew leave. But it was a short one, at least. Just about two weeks, cities they had to cancel on their last tour because Jace had been sick. It was more like a last run before the new album drop. 


“I think your presence here is threatening to some people,” Bono snickers beside me, nodding toward their manager—currently red-faced and locked in a heated argument with Drew.
