You did not want to do this.

You broke up with him 3 years ago, why do they want you to pretend you still are together? Sure, no one knows that you, the famous singer of the popular band, The Echoes, is dating the Pedro Pascal, but this is worse than people not knowing.

He's forcing you to "get back together" with the famous Mc-Eazy, when your manager knows you are with Pedro. It was complete and utter bullshit. You had already told him multiple times that you never, ever, wanted to collab, to play for, or even in the same room with your ex.

But Harrison, as you know him, was just reveling in your discomfort and loved this idea, loving that he could still have some claim over you after all these years.

You've already made songs about your breakup with Harrison, multiple in fact when it was still fresh! Luckily, with the help of your bandmates and your wonderful boyfriend, you got over him and ended up with your wonderful Pedro. He was only a friend at the time, knowing your drummer personally and frequently showing up to your concerts in support.

But, with Pedro coming backstage after shows, it was bound for the messy breakup to be found out by him. You crying after performing the love song you made for your ex, becoming more irritable, staying in your dressing room more often than not.

God, you regret spilling tears and time over that man, but you were still young, and it still hurt.

Instead of Pedro being awkward, he was actually supportive, helped you in any kind of way. No matter what you needed, he got it for you. That's what made you fall in love with him. Just him being there for you, whether it was to rant for four hours on FaceTime, giving you a shoulder to cry on and some ice cream to help with the pain, or distracting you with dinner and movie night at his house.

Of course, you had ranted to Pedro about your manager and agent's idea, and, of course, he didn't like it either. Not in the jealous "you're mine only" kind of way, but in the way of where he knew that he had hurted you badly, and just because you're well over it now, does not mean that you would be okay with this idea, kind of way.

So, you had threatened that if your manager approved of this, you would fire him indefinitely. But he had a threat of his own. Since your manager had some strings within the scene, he could make your life a living hell.

Never selling to a record label ever again, making sure that you never play on the radio, never perform again. Everything that you worked for, gone. Just like that.

So, you begrudingly went along with the idea, despite the disappointment from your bandmates and the hesitation from your partner, you felt that you had to go along with it.

Which leads to the present, where you are getting mic'ed up backstage, spacing out, wishing you were anywhere but here. You were brought back into reality when you hear that you are all set and that after the end of the next song, that's when you'll go onstage.

You nod mindlessly, sitting down and trying to distract yourself with literally everything. Before long, a crew member says that you're on soon, and you just deflate, frowning heavily before nodding and getting ready to fake it till the end of the show. You are guided towards a platform for you to have your dramatic entrance, being quickly lifted up onto the stage once Harrison announces the song.

You watch as the stage opens up and you hear the loud roar of the crowd as Harrison shouts, "Here's the next song, dedicated to the love of my life!" After a few seconds, the instrumental of Him & I starts to play, and you start to sing the lyrics as the crowd erupts into cheers and screams of excitement.

Alittle into the performance when you're on stage, you get the best idea ever. You quickly look over to the VIP section and see Pedro, just watching you with a little bit of concern. You quickly run over to him, still singing the lyrics as you make your way to him, winking before stopping right in front of him.
