Call between Y/N and Drew

Y/N (quietly): Hello?

Drew (softly): Hey... it’s me.

Y/N: (sighs) I figured. Kinda surprised you called. It’s been weeks

Drew: I wasn’t sure you’d pick up. But I needed to talk to you. Really talk to you.

Y/N: You picked a hell of a time, I'm going on in twenty minutes.

Drew: I know. I just… I couldn't let another week go by without saying something.

Y/N (pauses): Then say it.

Drew: Those photos… Y/N, I swear to you, what they looked like, it’s not what happened.

Y/N: You were holding her. She looked…comfortable. Too comfortable for someone who knows you're with someone else.

Drew: I thought she was just hugging me goodbye after the scene. We’d wrapped for the day. I didn’t know she was going to press herself into me like that. I pushed her off right after. I told her it wasn’t okay. I told her about us, about how serious we are. Or… were.

Y/N (quietly): So you did say something?

Drew: Immediately. But it was too late. Someone had already snapped the pictures. And Odessa... she didn’t care. I set boundaries early on. Told her I had someone. She kept pushing it.

Y/N: Then why was she liking those comments? The ones calling me insecure. Saying I was a bottle blonde singer and I’m not your type.

Drew (sharply): I confronted her. Lit her up through text, I won't lie. Told her she crossed a line. She said it was “just a joke” and that I was overreacting. I made it clear I wasn't.

Y/N: Why didn’t you say something sooner?

Drew: Because I didn’t know if you’d even want to hear from me. Every day I wanted to call, and every day I saw you getting linked to Joe, and I-I don’t know. I felt like I lost my right to even ask where we stood.

Y/N (softly): Joe’s just a friend. He’s been there. That’s it. He listens.

Drew: And I get that. It’s not my business anymore. But... I’m still in love with you. Even if it’s selfish to say. Even after everything, I’m still yours, at least in my heart.

Y/N (voice wavering): You still have a backstage pass?

Drew: I do. From before... everything.

Y/N: I can’t stop you from coming. But I don’t know what seeing you will do to me.

Drew: I won’t push. I just want to be near you. Even if it’s from the side stage, behind security, I don’t care. I miss you. And I needed you to hear the truth from me not from the internet.

Y/N (after a long pause): I appreciate you telling me. I’m... not ready to make sense of any of this or just fall back into how we were before. But I’m not ready to close the door, either.

Drew: That’s enough for me. For now.

Y/N: I uh, have to go. They’re calling me for places.

Drew: Okay. Knock 'em dead, rockstar.

Y/N: …Thanks.

Drew: I love you, Y/N.

Y/N: (pauses) …I know.

username: do we think Drew will show up?

username: doubt it…why would he want to go to his ex girlfriends show after he cheated on her?

username: she’s on tour 24/7 so I don’t blame him for realizing he wanted to be with someone he can see more often…

username: are you for real??? when you decide to be in a relationship with someone you stay faithful to them no matter what. and if you’re unhappy, you break up. you don’t cheat on them and humiliate them publicly

username: I think Odessa is more his type anyways. Drew never came off as a dude who likes bottle blonde singers

Texts between Mads and Drew

Mads: tell your little “friend” that she needs to stop being weird and liking rude comments about Y/N. It’s getting old and creepy. What is she trying to prove by liking comments on a Y/N fan account and on Joes post?

Drew: I didn’t know she was doing that…

Mads: do you see some of the stuff they’re saying? Like she deserved to get cheated on and they don’t know how anyone as hot as you and Joe would want to be with her? It’s gross, Drew.

Mads: this needs to stop

Texts between Drew and Odessa

Drew: enough with the hate comments, Odessa.

Odessa: idk what you’re talking about

Drew: seriously? Because my phone is blowing up with all of my friends sending SCREENSHOTS of you liking hate comments about Y/N.

Odessa: oh come on, it’s a joke. Is she really that sensitive?

Drew; it’s not a joke. Nothing about what you’re liking is a joke. Especially when you go out of your way to like them on fan accounts and Joe Burrow’s instagram. You don’t even follow Joe Burrow

Drew: I knew I should’ve set the record straight the second those pictures were posted

Odessa: you’re not entirely innocent in all of this either. You could’ve told Y/N the truth and you didn’t. What does that say about you?

Frank Langdon wasn’t looking for anything the day he met Y/N. He’d just finished a brutal shift in the ED, running mostly on Red Bull and unfiltered adrenaline. All he wanted was to crash at home, maybe feed the stray cat that had started hanging around his porch. But Jake, his idiot best friend, had other plans.

“She’s cool, man. I swear. You’ll like her,” Jake had insisted, dragging Frank along to a mutual friend’s low-key birthday dinner at a quiet gastropub.

Frank didn’t expect to fall in love with the girl who wore oversized sweaters like armor and laughed with her whole chest even when no one else got the joke.

Y/N was sitting at the edge of the long booth when he arrived, sipping on a club soda, eyes wide and observant but not shy. There was something deliberate about her stillness—like she was watching the world shift and calculating where she fit into it.

He sat beside her, more by chance than design. She turned, offered a soft hello, and asked him what Jake had to offer to get him there.

“He said I was going to meet a super cute girl. And he wasn’t wrong.” Frank replied, boldly.

She smiled. “Does that line usually work?” She asked. “I don’t know. Did it work on you?” Frank replied.

She laughed, really laughed, and from that moment, something in him softened.

By year three, their lives were comfortably entangled. Not in a tangled, codependent mess, but more like ivy and brick, each growing in support of the other.

Frank lived for the mornings when she padded out of their bedroom in fuzzy socks and one of his T-shirts, her hair a riot of waves and sleep, her eyes still adjusting to the day. He’d already have the kettle going and the blinds cracked just enough to let in light without overwhelming her.

Y/N didn’t work a traditional job. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to. God, did she want to. But her anxiety, coupled with her neurodivergence, made certain environments almost physically painful to endure.

Crowds, fluorescent lighting, the cacophony of multitasking and deadlines, it all pressed in on her, made her heartbeat race and her thoughts spiral.

She’d tried. She really had. Office jobs, retail, even freelance gigs. But inevitably, the pressure built until it choked her, and she had to step back again.

“I’m not broken,” she said one night, curled beside him on their worn couch. She was clutching a throw pillow like it might anchor her to the world. “I just… I need a different kind of rhythm.”

Frank didn’t say anything for a moment. He just traced circles on her back with his palm.

“No. You’re not broken,” he agreed quietly. “You’re wired different. And that’s not a flaw.”

“I want to be able to help. I really do,” she whispered.

“You already do.” He kissed the crown of her head. “In more ways than I can count.”

Frank never pressured her. That was part of what she loved most about him; his patience, his deep well of empathy. He didn’t coddle her, didn’t treat her like something fragile. But he also didn’t expect her to force herself into a world that didn’t fit.

Still, he could see how much it mattered to her. So, one Saturday morning, over waffles, he floated the idea.

“What if you volunteered at the hospital? Not anything intense, just something part-time, low-stress. I could help you find a quiet department. Maybe even geriatrics—they love visitors.”

Y/N’s fork paused midair.

“I wouldn’t have to do anything clinical, right?” she asked, wide-eyed.

“Nope,” Frank assured her. “It’s more like reading with patients, helping with crafts, keeping people company. And if it ever feels too much, you can walk. No strings. No guilt.”

She was quiet for a moment, then nodded slowly. “Maybe. Yeah. I think I could try that.”

They started small. One afternoon a week. Y/N arrived with a notebook in her bag and a playlist of soothing music queued up on her phone, just in case she needed grounding. Frank walked her to the volunteer office the first day, even though she insisted he didn’t have to.

“Humor me,” he said, squeezing her hand.

She met Mrs. Langley first, a ninety-year-old woman with brittle hair and sharper wit. Y/N read to her from The Secret Garden, and when she stumbled over a line and laughed at herself, Mrs. Langley patted her hand and said, “We all get tangled up sometimes, sweetheart.

Frank checked in on her during breaks, just a quick hello in passing or a coffee left with her name scribbled in loopy handwriting. She never once asked for help, never called him to come rescue her, but he could tell she liked knowing he was close.

By the third week, she was staying longer. Helping organize books in the hospital library. Sitting with a little boy who’d been there for weeks, playing Uno and letting him win (though barely).

She wasn’t doing it to prove anything, to him, to the world, or even herself. She was doing it because she could. Because she wanted to.

It wasn’t all perfect. No story worth telling ever is.

One rainy Tuesday, everything went sideways. A fire alarm test set off the emergency system; flashing lights, loud sirens, a rush of chaos through the hallways. Y/N had just finished a reading session with a dementia patient when it started. Her hands began to shake. The world tunneled.

She tried to find a corner, somewhere safe, but every door seemed closed.

Frank got the call through a nurse.

“Your girl’s in the east wing stairwell. She’s okay, but she’s kinda freaked out.”

He found her sitting on the steps, knees tucked to her chest, headphones in but not playing anything.

He didn’t rush her. Just sat beside her and placed a hand over hers.

“I’m sorry,” she murmured after a long silence. “I tried. I really tried.”

“I know,” Frank said. “You don’t have to be sorry. Not to me.”

“But I wanted to show you I could handle it.”

“You did handle it,” he said. “You didn’t run. You didn’t give up. You just needed a pause.”

She blinked at him through tear-clumped lashes. “How are you so good at this?”

“I’m not,” he said honestly. “I just love you. That’s all. And loving you means being here for the hard days, not just the easy ones.”

People often mistook Y/N’s softness for weakness. But Frank knew better. Strength wasn’t loud or blinding, it was persistent. It was showing up when your whole body screamed to shut down. It was putting yourself out there again, even after you’d crumbled.

And Y/N? She was strong in a thousand quiet ways.

She still had anxiety. Still had days when even brushing her hair felt like a mountain to climb. But she also had victories: small, glittering things that didn’t make headlines but made her shine.

She made a scrapbook for the kids’ ward.

She brought in her own tea blends for patients with insomnia.

She convinced Frank to adopt the stray porch cat, who now ruled their apartment like a queen.

And Frank? He never once made her feel like less for not matching the world’s tempo. Instead, he adjusted his steps to hers.

Texts between Mads and Drew

Drew: wtf

Mads: don’t. don’t text me, Drew. Not about this

Drew: I said id give her space but I didn’t think space would include another guy. A guy you introduced her to by the way

Drew: what am I supposed to do?

Mads: idk maybe instead of sending sad text messages you try picking up the phone and CALLING HER??

Mads: or did odessa say that was a bad idea too 🙄

Drew: Madelyn, come on…you know it’s not like that

Mads: seems odessa has been the root of 100% of the problems you’re having with Y/N and yet you can’t cut the cord

Drew: I came to you because I needed a friend, not whatever this is

Mads: it’s called tough love, Drew. And yes, you’re my friend too but Y/N is my best friend and you broke her heart. So forgive me if you and odessa aren’t my favorite people right now. You both didn’t give a shit about the consequences of your actions. You did whatever you did, which you won’t tell me the extent of by the way, and didn’t care if it was going to hurt Y/N. So yeah, I’m going to be a little mean to you and tell her to hang out with a cute football player who makes her smile after everything you put her through. Their just friends by the way. Even though it’s none of your business.

Mads: Odessa is also liking some really mean comments and posts about Y/N so you need to shut that shit down before I do
