“nett fans are freaking out because you and yn both revealed your new hair, do you have anything to say about that?” the interviewer asks.
Gunner had just gotten off stage, another rolling loud performance checked off the list.
“Uhh, no, I don’t know her like that. I bet it looks sick as fuck tho” Gunner replies.
Gunner didn’t know you. He knew of you and your music but the two of you never spoke at all. Which was weird because of how close you were with Amari. Your paths just never crossed.
You were pretty knocked out, you and Amari had spent the night watching the other performers and drinking together. The two of you laid in the bed of your airbnb, talking about random things as you waited to fall asleep.
“Yo, have you checked your Instagram?” Amari asks. “No, why?” You reply. You saw Gunners hair when you stopped by his performance but it never occurred to you that it would be an issue with the media.
“Look at this shit.” He says with a chuckle. He hands the phone to you, an Instagram post was pulled up on the screen - one with a side by side picture of your hair and Gunners hair. The comments were filled with assumptions, and opinions.
Some liked the idea of you two together, some hated it. You had never really thought of Gunner that way. “Good lord” you say with a sigh as you hand the phone back to him. “We’ve literally never talked, I thought that was known too.” You add. “Yeah but you know they be going crazy” Amari says.
The last thing you wanted was a big topic before your set tomorrow, it was your first time ever performing for rolling loud and you were already beyond nervous.
Your eyes wander around the room, thoughts pile your head. “You’re good girl, don’t worry about it.” Amari says, pulling you in to lay yourself on-top of his arm.
“You should be excited, this is huge for you.” He adds. “I know it’s just - so annoying. I can’t even have a hair color without the whole world freaking out.” You stress.
“You have to admit, it was crazy timing”
“Yeah I guess, but still! You’re supposed to be on my side!” You tease.
“Relax. You need to sleep this off.” Amari says, flicking the lamp off leaving the room completely dark.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐓 𝐃𝐀𝐘
You stand backstage, Amari right behind you with his hands on your shoulders supporting you.
Fans roar as they wait for you to come out. Your heart begins to beat faster, waiting for the music to start.
People backstage run around to make sure everything is perfect, and through all the ruckus backstage your mind was silent.
The beat begins, the adrenaline flows through your veins as you prepare yourself to please the crowd.
Lights go low, the people in your ear piece letting you know it’s time to go on.
Fans begin getting louder as the lights go down, as you get into position everything is lifted, your anxiety, your thoughts, your emotions, everything. Your body feels lighter, so does your mind.
The stage was where you were meant to be, where you always wanted to be. Nothing ever mattered when you were doing what you loved, nothing could bring you down from the high.
Everything was so small when you were in-front of a crowd who loved you.
You didn't think the crowd could get much louder until you played the first song you had ever released. It was a single you made with Amari one night when the two of you were high. You never played it on stage unless Amari was there and today, he was.
You ran backstage for a quick water break and got ready to go on with Amari, as you took a sip of the water you caught a glimpse of the cherry red hair. You thought you were going insane, you didn't even get to process it before it was time to go back on.
The crowd was insane when they saw Amari run on stage with you, and while everything was going perfectly most of your focus was taken away. You had no idea what he'd be doing backstage for your set. It could've been to see Amari, but he was nowhere near him at all.
You tried to push it out of your mind, you only had to make it through three more songs, and you did.
As you ran off stage Amari already had water for you.
You gave him a quick side hug and were quickly greeted by Gunner. "Oh, hey." you say out of breath.
"Hey, you were great out there." Gunner replies. There was something so weird about talking to him, it didn't feel forced, but it didn't feel normal either. "Thank you, I saw you play for a little last night, you were great too." you complement.
You couldn't figure out what was weird about the whole interaction, you knew you'd meet him at some point you just didn't know it'd be like this - under these circumstances.
You head back to your airbnb, Gunner and Amari chatting on the way there. You didn't really have any mental capacity to talk, which was normal after a show. When the three of you get back Amari leads gunner tp the coach before following you back into the room.
"How you feeling?" he asks. You didn't know how you were feeling, part of you felt great after your performance but another part of you felt oddly conflicted about Gunner's presence.
"I'm good, I didn't know he'd be backstage." you reply. "I know, me either. He came to ask about the media stuff and ended up staying and watching you." he explains. Him saying he willingly stayed to watch you made you feel even more conflicted. You never really put any thought into Gunner, you just knew he was Amaris friend who made good music. It never occurred to you that he'd want to watch you perform - or that there would be rumors about the two of you.
Amari notices the shift in your presence, it had gone from calm to clearly off. "Hey, he's chill. And nobody knows he's here, okay? Just take a shower and come meet him for real when you're ready, alright?" His words give you comfort, especially now that you knew nobody would find out about this. Or so you thought.

Amari left the room shortly after, giving you space to do what you needed to do. You hopped in the shower, the warm water hitting your back. Your body untenses, a sense of calm falling down your spine.
You allowed yourself to decompress, taking your time in the shower.
Once you had gotten out and pampered yourself and headed out to the living room.
You didn't have a clue in the world that this was posted, as far as you knew nobody had a knew he was with you.
Gunner and Amari passed a blunt back and forth as they watched some basketball game, there wasn't much talking and it didn't bother you. There wasn't much flowing through your mind anyway.
Even with the lack of talking Gunner kept peaking at you, he'd literally go out of his way just to check you out. You acted like you didn't see it when in reality you couldn't avoid it.
He offered you a hit, and you accepted. Your fingers grazing against his as he passed it to you. It was such a little thing but felt so big to you.
Out of nowhere it happened the moment you thought wouldn’t.
“Yo shit, look at this.” Amari says, showing you and Gunner the phone.
