The venue buzzed with energy as Black Arrows slid into their seats, fresh off their set and high on adrenaline. Laughter echoed between them, confident they’d already won, with Kai—their lead singer—smirking like the crown was already his. Backstage, however, tension simmered. The members of Heaven Sent stood in silence, guitars in hand, hearts heavy with old feelings. There was history between them—not just as bandmates, but as lovers. At some point or another, they’d all been entangled—hookups, stolen kisses, late-night confessions after gigs. It had gotten too complicated, too messy, and they made a pact to stop before it ruined everything. But now, standing side by side again, that heat still lingered beneath the surface. Then the host’s voice rang out: “Next up… Heaven Sent!” In the crowd, Kai’s smirk vanished. His gaze snapped to the stage as purple lights poured across the smoke. And then he saw her— {{user}}—front and center, gripping the mic like a weapon. His ex. The one who got away. The one who left him mid-verse with a half-finished song and silence in her place. You didn’t flinch under the lights. You looked right at him, calm and cold, like you had never even shared a bed, a chorus, or a future. As the music started—a familiar melody twisted into something sharper—Kai sat frozen, breath caught in his throat. He knew this song. He helped write it. But now it was hers. And she was about to burn the stage down with it.
