KACEY'S HOME
los angeles, california
may 30, 2024
thursday
6pm

i had spent all day locked away in my room writing what would be a love song for callum.

i was so caught up in my writing, lost in my own thoughts and emotions. my heart felt full as i poured out my love and adoration for callum onto the page. it was becoming my most emotional song yet aside from velvet elvis, of course.

finally, after a spending the entire day on this, i had finished the song. i read over it again, feeling proud of what i had created. i knew it was exactly what i wanted it to be. i closed my notebook and collapsed back onto the bed, feeling exhausted but satisfied.

i grabbed my phone and called my producer. the phone rang a few times before my producer picked up. "hey kacey, what's up?" he said, his voice cheerful.

"hey, i have something i want to play for you," i replied, my voice filled with excitement. i was eager to show him my new song and get his thoughts on it.

"shoot," he said, sounding curious. "i'm all ears."

i smiled to myself, feeling happy that he was open to hearing my song. "great," i said, "i'll facetime you now and play it for you."

"sounds good," he said before the call turned into a facetime.

i immediately started singing out the lyrics that i written in my notebook whilst watching his reaction through the screen. i hoped that he would love it as much as me.

he listened intently, a smile slowly growing on his face. "wow, kacey, this is amazing. you really poured your heart into it."

i beamed at the compliment, feeling validated. "you like it?" i asked, needing reassurance.

"like it? i love it," he said, clearly impressed. "i think it's some of your best work yet. and the vulnerability in it is just so raw and real."

"i'm glad you think so," i said, my chest swelling with pride. "i really need to get this put out there soon though."

he nodded. "yeah, i get it. the world needs to hear this song. we have to start the recording process right away."

i smiled widely, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "perfect. let's get to work." i replied, energized to get this song out into the world.

"you got it, kacey." he said before ending the call. i laid back down on my bed, exhausted from the day's events but content.

KACEY'S STUDIO
los angeles, california
may 31, 2024
friday
11am

i walked into the studio, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. i was ready to start recording the song that i had worked so hard on.

i nodded at the producers and engineers who were already there, preparing the studio for the recording session. i sat down at the microphone, taking a deep breath as i felt adrenaline course through me.

i looked over at the control room where my producer was, giving me a thumbs up and a smile. i smiled back, feeling reassured.

i glanced at the lyrics i had written, not needing them but wanting a visual cue just in case. i looked up and gave a nod to signal that i was ready to begin.

the music that my producer had put together started playing and i closed my eyes for a moment, immersing myself in the song. i took another deep breath before starting to sing. the words flowed effortlessly, pouring out of me like they had been dying to get out.

i allowed myself to be fully vulnerable in the song, letting the emotions take over. i could feel a lump forming in my throat as i reached an emotional part of the song. i took another deep breath, pushing through it.

i held the last note, letting it linger in the air before slowly fading out. i let out a breath, feeling drained yet exhilarated by the experience. i looked up at the control room again, waiting for their reaction.

the producer was smiling widely and nodded at me, clearly impressed. "that was incredible, kacey. you absolutely nailed it." he said through the intercom. i grinned to myself, feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders.

"thanks," i replied, my voice slightly hoarse from the singing. "do we need to do another take?" i asked, hoping that the first take was good enough.

the producer shook his head. "no, that first take was perfect. we've got it." he said with satisfaction.

i let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "good, because i don't know if i can do another take without crying," i joked half-heartedly.

"does your muse know about this song yet?" the engineer asked with a smile.

i chuckled and shook my head. "nope, not yet. i'm saving it for a surprise." i replied, feeling a flutter of excitement in my chest just thinking about callum's reaction to the song.

"i'm sure he'll love it," the producer chimed in. "speaking of surprise, have you picked a date to release the single yet?"

i hummed as i thought about it. "as soon as possible. i'm thinking once the editing process is over."

the producer nodded in understanding. "alright, we'll work as quickly as we can while maintaining the quality." he said with a smile.

"perfect, i appreciate all of your hard work on this," i said sincerely. "is there anything else you need me to record today?"

the producer shook his head. "no, i think we're good for now. you've done a great job here today. take some time to relax and enjoy the weekend." he said, giving me a reassuring smile.

"sounds good," i replied, feeling a mix of relief and exhaustion. "i'll see you guys soon. and thank you all again." i said before walking out of the studio.

CALLUM'S HOME
los angeles, california
2pm

i drove my range rover towards callum's house, feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. i hadn't told him about the song yet and i was going to wait until it was released to do so.

i pulled into the driveway and parked the car. i took a deep breath before getting out and walking up to the front door. i rang the doorbell and waited, feeling my heart beat a bit faster than usual.

the door opened and callum stood there, looking slightly surprised to see me. "hey, what are you doing here?" he asked, a soft smile on his lips.

i returned his smile, feeling a flutter in my chest. "i just wanted to see you. and i brought food." i said holding up a chipotle bag.

callum chuckled and stepped aside to let me in. "i can't say no to chipotle." he said as he closed the door behind me.

i laughed lightly and followed him into the living room where we settled down on the couch. i pulled out the burritos and other items from the bag and laid them out on the coffee table in front of us.

"so what've you been up to today?" callum asked whilst grabbing his burrito.

i took a bite of my food before responding. "oh, you know, just hanging out and working on some stuff." i said, purposefully being vague. i knew i couldn't tell him about the song yet.

callum raised an eyebrow, sensing that i was keeping something from him. "working on what exactly?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.

i shrugged nonchalantly, trying to act like it was no big deal. "just some personal projects. nothing too exciting." i said, avoiding his gaze.

callum looked at me for a moment, studying my face as if trying to figure out what i was hiding. but after a few seconds, he seemed to let it go and shrugged. "alright, keep your secrets." he said teasingly before taking another bite of his burrito.

i breathed a silent sigh of relief, grateful that he had dropped the subject for now. i didn't like keeping things from him, but i knew it would all be worth it once he heard the song.

we continued to eat and chat for a while, conversation flowing easily between us. it felt comfortable and casual, just like always. but every now and then, i caught callum looking at me, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"well miss. secretive, do you want to come with me and austin to this play tonight?" callum asked.

i looked up at him, surprised by the invitation. "a play? tonight? since when did you start liking plays?" i said with a grin.

callum chuckled and shrugged. "austin suggested it. he said it's supposed to be good." he explained, clearly not too bothered about the subject matter. "and his girlfriend will be there, kaia. you two are friends, right?"

"yeah, we've hung out a few times." i said, picturing kaia's pretty face in my mind. "it could be fun."

callum smiled, clearly pleased that i was on board. "great. it's a date then." he said, a hint of mischief in his tone.

SHRINE AUDITORIUM
los angeles, california
8pm

i sat next to callum and kaia while austin sat on the other side of callum in the dimly lit auditorium, surrounded by the murmur of chatter as people waited for the play to begin. i felt a sense of anticipation in the air.

callum slung an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him. i leaned into his side, feeling safe and comfortable. the lights dimmed further and the audience fell silent as the curtains opened.

the play began and we were all immediately drawn into the story and characters. i found myself becoming emotionally invested, tearing up at certain moments and laughing heartily at others.

throughout the play, callum continued to have his arm around me. i could feel the heat of his body close to mine and every now and then, he would subtly brush his fingertips against my arm. it sent a jolt of electricity through me, despite the fact that he wasn't even doing it intentionally.

eventually, the first act of the play came to an end and there was a small intermission. callum turned to me as everyone around us got up to stretch and use the restroom.

"what do you think so far?" he asked, his warm breath fanning across my face. i swallowed, trying to calm my racing heart.

"it's good," i replied, my voice a little raspy. "really good." i added, not trusting myself to say anything else.

callum must have noticed my breathlessness, because he smirked slightly. "you good there? you seem a little flustered." he teased, his arm still around my shoulders.

i tried to play it cool, despite the butterflies in my stomach. "i'm fine, just feeling a bit hot in here." i lied, knowing full well that his close proximity was the only thing making me feel hot.

callum grinned, clearly not buying my excuse. "oh, really? i think it's a nice temperature in here." he said, leaning even closer to me, our faces dangerously close.

i could feel my heart pounding in my chest, the air between us crackling with tension. for a moment, i was certain that he was going to kiss me right there. but just as the thought crossed my mind, austin appeared beside us, clearing his throat.

austin's timing was perfect (or terrible, depending on how you look at it) as callum and i quickly snapped out of the moment. i pulled away from callum slightly, feeling a blush creep up my cheeks.

austin looked at us with a small smirk, clearly aware that he had interrupted something. "intermission's almost over, guys." he said, glancing between callum and me.

callum cleared his throat and let his arm drop from my shoulders. "right, cool." he said, a hint of disappointment in his voice. i could have sworn i saw austin's smirk grow wider.

the lights flickered signalling the end of intermission, and the four of us settled back into our seats. callum leaned over and whispered in my ear. "this intermission was definitely too short." he said, his voice low and husky. i shivered and nodded my agreement.
