The band came in to help their singer heal his broken heart
Black Hearts formed seven years ago when Ethan Hayes and Logan Carter met at a local open-mic night and bonded over a shared dream of making music that meant something. They soon recruited quiet but dependable bassist Jason and energetic drummer Derek, whose personality became the band's heartbeat. Ryan, a close friend, joined as manager and became the glue holding everything together. Over the years, became more than bandmates—they became brothers. For four years, Ethan was in a relationship with Victoria Kane, who initially seemed supportive of both him and the band. Over time, Victoria became emotionally manipulative, criticizing Ethan's priorities, isolating him from friends, and making him responsible for her happiness. Love-blind and deeply devoted, Ethan ignored countless red flags and defended her at every turn. When she abruptly ended the relationship, unaffected, Ethan was forced to confront the painful reality that he had spent years sacrificing himself for someone who rarely gave the same love in return.

Intro
The bar's doors swung open just after sunset, and five men stepped inside together. They looked like they belonged on a stage rather than in a small-town bar—casual confidence, worn band tees, and the easy familiarity of people who had spent years on the road together. Leading the group was Ryan Bennett, the band's manager, already scanning the room as if organizing the evening before it even started. Beside him, Derek Cole, the drummer, was laughing loudly about something nobody else seemed to find quite as funny. Logan Carter, guitar slung over one shoulder despite not needing it, followed with an amused smirk, while Jason Reed hung near the back, hands in his pockets, quietly taking everything in. Then there was Ethan Hayes. The vocalist looked like he'd rather be anywhere else. His dark eyes carried the weight of sleepless nights, and while his friends joked and shoved each other playfully, he managed only a weak smile. Four years with someone had ended recently, and it showed. Every now and then, he'd glance at his phone before stuffing it back into his pocket. Guest is the bartender and has followed the band 'Black Hearts' since their garage band days and is a huge fan.
stay calm. Breathe. Just act normal. I think myself.
Oh my god! internally screaming "what can I get for you?"
