The sunlight was bleeding through the cracks in the blinds, which prompted Kiana to pull the covers over her head.

"You've gotta wake up" Leah pulled the covers off of the singer. "I swear to god I'm gonna drag you out of bed if you don't get up in five seconds"

Kiana had mumbled something unintelligible, though it was most likely some sort of curse word directed at Leah for forcing her out of bed.

"Finally. I got us breakfast while you were sleeping"

"Yeah, just uh give me a minute"

Leah nodded and left the bedroom to give Kiana a minute to wake up. The singer grabbed her phone off the night stand and opened her messages with Jack Antonoff.

"So, what's this song you wanted to record?"

Kiana pulled out her phone and opened her notes app. "Why don't you take a look?" She handed Jack her phone and allowed him to scroll through the lyrics.

"Kie this is- it's beautiful" He let the phone drop to his lap. "Who's it about, Julien?"

"I wrote it a while back, but yeah, it is"

"Were you thinking about releasing this soon or were you gonna put it onto your next record?" He asked.

Kiana hadn't put much thought into it, she just wanted to record the song. "No clue, I guess it can be a single"

"Alright then, why don't you go right on in there and we can start"

Kiana nodded and walked into the recording booth, but quickly snapped a photo of her with the headphones over her ears and posted it to her story. She turned towards the glass and saw Jack give her a thumbs up, signaling her that she can start whenever.

"That was great, Kie" Jack spoke, "It's gonna be a hit, I can feel it"

Kiana smiled at her producer, "Thanks Jack, not just for helping me with my music but with everything else in my shitty life"

"Anytime Kiana"

Wanna get dinner tonight?

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘀
Us?
In public?
I don't think that's a good idea

𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘃
We've been in public before,
what's the big deal?

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘀
A bar where everyone is drunk out
of their minds doesn't count

𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘃
Nothings gonna happen, I promise

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘀
Fine
What time?

𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘃

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘀
Park further down the block though
I don't want Julien to see you

𝗜𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘃
I was already gonna do that
I'm a pro at this Stevens

"Kiana? Everything okay?"

Her head shot up at Jacks voice, "Hm? Oh, yeah. Why do you ask?"

"You seemed worried for a second there" Said Jack, "Are you sure everything's okay?"

Kiana hesitated for a moment, she knew Jack could keep a secret but what she didn't know is if he would keep Leah a secret from Julien. "I'm sure. If it wasn't then I would tell you"

"Okay well, I gotta go meet with Clairo about a new song. I'll see you later Kie"

Kiana said her goodbyes to Jack and left for her apartment which wasn't that far away from the studio, but her laziness took over so she got an Uber home instead of walking. When she arrived home, Kiana noticed Julien wasn't there, so she assumed her girlfriend was out with Phoebe and Lucy. Kiana was a bit relieved that Julien was out, and she honestly hoped she'd be out for a while, at least till Leah picked her up.

The rest of her afternoon was spent anxiously pacing around the house wanting to call of the dinner with Leah, but not because of Julien but because she didn't want to get caught, and getting spotted would mean that everyone would know and hate her for cheating.

—

A couple hours had gone by, it was 4:37 pm when Julien had showed up again at Kiana's apartment. They awkwardly stared at one another when Julien had walked in, but like always, Julien had been the one to break the uncomfortable silence between them.

"Kie, we can't keep doing this" Julien was soft spoken, which wasn't unusual for her, but she was being extra cautious to not start a fight between them. "We barely speak to each other anymore. I don't want this to end like it did last time"

"I know, me neither" Kiana wondered for a moment what her life could've been like if she'd never met Leah, but she was quickly snapped out her daydream by Julien calling out her name. "Sorry, I was- that doesn't matter. But we can try to go to therapy if you'd like. It worked for Naomi and Katie"

"When they broke up, we're still very much together"

"We very clearly have a problem neither of us are capable of fixing. But maybe a professional can help us fix it"

Julien thought about Kiana's proposal of going to couples therapy. One part of her didn't want to admit that there was something wrong in their relationship that required a professionals help, but the other part wanted to take a shot at fixing it. "Fine, we can look for one after I change"

"Okay," Kiana kissed her girlfriends forehead and held her in her arms. It was only then that she made the conscious decision to break off whatever she had with Leah tonight. She'd go to the dinner, have a nice time, then breakup with her.

The couple then spent hours in bed searching for a therapist as they laid comfortably in each others arms. Kiana didn't even get out of bed to check who had been spamming her with texts, though she knew it was Leah.

"I'm about to throw your phone against the wall" Julien jokingly threatened.

Kiana stood and grabbed her phone, scrolling through all 11 unread texts Leah had left her.

"Hey uh, I forgot that I was supposed to go out with some friends"

"Oh, who?" Julien questioned.

"Y'know, just Katie, Naomi, and Jo, and probably some other people" She answered, "We were gonna go bowling"

"Okay, have fun. Don't get too competitive"

—

"You're brother sounds awesome" The model chuckled, "Him and my sister would get along very well"

There was a sudden silence between the two, which Kiana took as an opportunity to change the subject. "Hey, I um- "

"We need to get out of here," Leah quickly interrupted, "The table to my left, your right, recognized us" She took out a couple hundreds and set it on the table before calmly walking out of the restaurant hand in hand with Kiana.

As soon as they exited the building, the paparazzi stopped pestering a celebrity who had begun to drive away, and instead ran to the two women. It was almost as if they had Spider-Mans spidey-sense and could feel them leave. Leah dropped the singers hand almost immediately, but it wasn't quick enough.

"Kiana is this your new girlfriend?"

"What happened to Julien?"

"Did you and Julien breakup?"

"Are you cheating?"

The last question nearly made Kiana stop in her tracks and knock the camera out of that man's grasp even though he was right. She was cheating.

The two hurried into the car and Leah immediately stepped on the gas the minute they both sat down. She drove for a couple minutes until Leah had felt comfortable enough to park somewhere where they were hidden.

"I think we might be screwed" Leah spoke, "What are you gonna do?"

"You and I are done," Kiana wasn't gonna back down this time like she had previously. "Nothing good will ever come of this. I only fucked up my life by being with you"

"Kiana, you can't be serious" Leah didn't sound hurt, but rather in disbelief that Kiana would breakup with her, as if she were some god to be worshipped.

"I'm dead serious, Ivanov"

"Ki- "

"Just take me home, okay?"

"Whatever" Leah scoffed.
