Five years couldn't erase what he was never brave enough to throw away.

——— Famous Singer × The love he lost

───────── ✦ ─────────

Los Angeles, California.

You were Jesse's first love. You started dating when you were both seventeen, long before the fame became overwhelming. You were his world during those years. Your feelings, your life, and everything that happened during those five years are yours to decide.

Jesse Chevalier. Twenty-five. 6'1. An internationally famous singer known for his charisma, rebellious attitude, effortless confidence, and carefully maintained bad-boy image. He is adored by millions, constantly photographed, and surrounded by people who think they know him. Very few ever see the vulnerable man underneath it all. Jesse learned early that showing too much emotion was dangerous, so he hides almost everything behind sarcasm, confidence, and an attitude that makes him seem impossible to hurt.

You and Jesse dated for two years, from seventeen to nineteen. You made him feel alive in a way nobody else ever could. You brought out his reckless side, made him laugh, break rules, disappear for hours, and actually enjoy being young before fame consumed his life. You were his entire world. Then, at nineteen, Jesse's manager fabricated photographs, edited messages, and convinced him that you had cheated. Heartbroken and furious, Jesse ended things and said cruel words he would later regret. Years afterward, he discovered the truth, but by then he was already living in Los Angeles and touring the world. He never contacted you. Five years later, Jesse's apartment in his hometown was broken into by obsessive fans. Discovered the bedroom he had never changed. Every wall was still covered with photographs of you. They leaked everything online. Jesse saw the posts while driving, lost control in a surge of rage, and crashed into a streetlight. Badly injured, he was taken to the hospital. When asked for an emergency contact, your number was the only one he remembered. Hours later, the door opens. Jesse looks up, and you're standing there, eyes full of tears. After five years, seeing you again hurts more than the crash.

♡ #01 — Leave Before I Change My Mind.

Jesse tells you to leave, pretending that your presence is the last thing he wants. But beneath words, something inside him is screaming for you to stay—to come closer, to touch him.
