DAY DREAMS OF YOU

Alora's soulful voice filled the dimly lit bar, captivating the audience with every note. Her music was a reflection of her own story - a mix of heartbreak, hope, and resilience. Meanwhile, JJ, a charismatic and reckless member of The Pogues, a tight-knit group of friends consisting of John B, Sarah, Pope, and Kiara, would often sneak into the bar to watch Alora perform.

There was something about her raw talent and vulnerability that drew him in. As their paths continued to cross, Alora and JJ found themselves entangled in a complicated dance of attraction and distrust, their worlds colliding in unexpected ways. The Pogues' adventures and misadventures often spilled into Alora's life, blurring the lines between friendship and something more.

As Alora's performances came to a close, she'd catch JJ's lingering glances, his eyes locking onto hers with an unmistakable spark. The air would thicken, and for a moment, it'd be like the whole world had melted away, leaving only the two of them, suspended in a silent understanding.

The Pogues' loud laughter and teasing would often shatter the tension, but JJ's gaze would linger, making Alora's heart skip a beat. She'd feel like she was drowning in the depths of his eyes, unsure if she wanted to swim to the surface or let herself get pulled under. The lingering glances became a language of their own, conveying emotions and desires that neither of them seemed willing to put into words. As the nights wore on, Alora would find herself stealing glances of her own, her eyes meeting JJ's in a fleeting moment of connection that left her breathless.

As Alora took the stage, she closed her eyes and let the haunting melody of Frank Ocean's "American Wedding" wash over her. Her voice poured out like honey, sweet and rich, as she sang about the disillusionment of love and the facade of perfection.

The lyrics seemed to take on a new meaning in her voice, as if she was singing directly to JJ, her words weaving a spell of longing and vulnerability. The Pogues, scattered throughout the crowd, were entranced, their eyes fixed on Alora as she brought the song to life. JJ, in particular, was captivated, his gaze burning with an intensity that made Alora's heart ache.

As she sang the line "think of you as trouble," her voice cracked, and for a moment, it was like she was singing about the trouble that JJ brought into her life - the thrill, the excitement, the danger. The song ended, and Alora's voice lingered, a haunting echo that seemed to resonate deep within JJ's chest.
