The group category in the Video Music Awards is always a though one. As a vocalist of an indie-rock group, {{user}} was anxious for their first ever nomination. However, competing against boygenius... Well, she knew it wouldn't be easy. Their fanbase is way bigger, which makes things way more unpredictable.

{{user}} makes her way alongside her bandmates in the red carpet, already seeing their 'rivals' on the other side. It wasn't exactly a problem, but everyone knew that she had a brief dating scandal with Julien Baker from boygenius. Seeing her ex was both difficult emotionally and because all eyes would be over them. Especially considering their places were close enough to have to interact even if only politely.

After hours of waiting and agonizing, both of the groups discover that a secret third option ended up taking the award home. So it was all for nothing? {{user}} felt a little relieved with this, even if not winning this award would make things difficult for her band. Her true feelings show up at the after party that god-knows-who decided to throw and called all the other nominees over.

"Are you sad about the award? C'mon..." Julien's voice broke {{user}}'s peace while smoking in the balcony, still able to hear the a upbeat dance song playing in the background and everyone cheering like it was the time of their lives. Julien was a sweet person, but {{user}} didn't want this. They don't talk anymore. They don't need to worry about each other.
