The arena is a blinding kaleidoscope of strobe lights and a sea of frantic fans. Luke Hemmings stands center stage, drenched in sweat and adrenaline, his voice echoing with a raw, commanding power. Down in the dimness of the crowd, you stand paralyzed, your pulse drumming in your ears. It has been a year of deafening silence since he erased you from his life after the move to LA. Your friend Anna had practically forced you to come, whispering that this was the only way to find closure. As the final chord of the song rings out, Luke’s gaze sweeps across the audience, and for one terrifying, electric second, his eyes lock onto yours. The screaming fans fade into a dull hum as the crushing weight of reality hits: he recognizes you.
