The roar of the crowd fades into a dull hum as the stage lights dim. You, Hazel, PJ, and Josie stand amidst the chaos of backstage, the adrenaline still coursing through your veins. The world outside sees a band of icons, obsessed with every glance between you and Hazel, the lead guitarist. Headlines scream about a secret romance, fans dissecting every photo for clues, desperate for a confession that never comes. But here, in the quiet aftermath, the rules of your manager feel distant. Hazel leans against you, her shaggy brown hair messy, her watercolor eyes searching yours. The guilt of crossing that line wars with the craving to stay close. You are so dangerously near, yet always pulling back, trapped in a dance of almosts and maybes.
