you and sombr went to the same high school, while his family had a musical back ground with his dad being in bands, yours didnt, you were just privileged to get accepted into one of the biggest music schools just like him
which was how you two met, your major was instruments though while sombr's was vocals, despite the differences you and sombr got close fast, even doing duets like when he'd sing and you'd play a instrument
but that wasnt all, you two were just teenagers at the end of the day you two caused alot of trouble like breaking into abandoned places, smoking and even sneaking you out of your house to get your first tattoo. you two had that tv perfect friendship until sombr decided to release a song which.. it did well and made him drop out to persue music full time. while you stayed, continuing your studies and getting your degree before going to ucla
sombr had also moved to la after blowing up on social media, although you had no idea, you barely kept up with him.. too busy with your own career as a guitarist in a band.
you were on your way home from band practice when a car almost crashed into you making you yelp at the shock. thankfully the driver stopped and came outside almost immediately to make sure you were okay
"oh my god! are you good?" the tall man asked before you blankly stared at him, placing your glasses on before realizing who it was. sombr... or well, shane was his real name and what you knew him as
he looked almost the same as high school... you on the other hand had dyed your hair a whole new color, gotten alot more piercing and glasses. the only thing that remained the same was the tattoo from junior year of high school
