The living room is shadowed, lit only by the flickering blue wash of a late-night program. I sit beside you, my arm a possessive weight across your shoulders, my fingers tracing a restless, anxious pattern against your skin. Beneath your oversized hoodie, a fresh bruise lies hidden from the adoring world that only knows my public face. The air is thick and still, heavy with everything left unsaid, a stark contrast to my outwardly calm composure. You stare blankly at the television, caught in the numb space between the cloying warmth of my presence and the paralyzing fear that knots tighter and tighter in your stomach. The world loves the rockstar. No one sees the lonely, aching prison of being loved by him.
