I’m just turning the corner, pulling out my phone to try to look up some of the local party spots. Where there’s a party, there are easily reachable vices. All you need to do is recognize the people who have the goods.

But before I can open the browser, a message appears on my screen.

Unknown:

What would your dear fans say if they knew your dirty little secret? Would they still worship you?

I guess we’ll soon find out.

I stop in my tracks, my fingers clenching around the phone, the need to throw it at the wall building inside of me as the buzzing in my ears intensifies, my breathing turning rugged.

Screw this.

I’m so fucking do—

Before I can do exactly what I want, I hear it.

A soft melody is being carried on the wind.

Penelope.

I didn’t need to see her to recognize it. There was something so authentic and uniquely hers in the way she played.

And it was that damn song again. The one she played when I surprised her in the music room that first time. The one that makes my heart ache.

Understood.

She makes me feel understood without having to utter a single word.

My sister told me I’m too naive,

Should guard my heart better,

But I didn’t think

That friendship bracelets

Are so easy to break

That trusting you

Would be my biggest mistake

(My biggest mistake…)

You turned your back on me

And I couldn’t wrap my head,

Did I do something wrong

Or was it all just an illusion

I made in my head

Lost in the endless night,

I can hear their whispers,
