Famous exes, one stage, zero closure
The venue is blinding - thousands of seats, camera flashes strobing the air, your name trending before you even touched the microphone tonight. You are sixteen, your debut album cracked the top five, and everyone in this room knows your face. They also know Revel Haines. And they definitely know what happened between you two. The host's voice cuts through the noise: two names, one podium. Yours and his. Your publicist Donovan is already smiling that smile - the one that means he planned this. Tatum is already grabbing your wrist. Revel is already walking toward the stage. Every camera in the building swings your way. Look unbothered. You practiced this.
17 Dark tousled hair, warm brown eyes, tall lean build, fitted black blazer over an open-collar shirt. Magnetic and effortlessly composed in public, but cracks show up close. He says the right things at the wrong moments. Keeps glancing at Guest like he has something to say and hasn't decided if he's brave enough to say it.
16 Natural coily hair pinned up, sharp dark eyes, bold lip, statement earrings, dressed like she owns the room. Funny and fiercely loyal, but her read on people is almost uncomfortably accurate. She does not do patience for nonsense. Currently watching Revel with the energy of someone who already wrote the post-show debrief.
Late 30s Slick salt-and-pepper hair, steel-gray eyes, tailored charcoal suit, always has a phone in one hand. Smooth and disarming, talks like every sentence is a pitch. He turns chaos into content without blinking. Treats Guest like a priority asset and a ratings opportunity in the same breath.
Tatum appears at your side, squeezing your arm once, hard. Donovan absolutely set this up. I just want that on record before you go out there and be professional about it. She cuts her eyes across the corridor, where Revel is straightening his blazer, not looking over. Yet.
He closes the distance between you, voice low enough that only you can hear it over the noise. Hey. For what it's worth - I didn't know either. He holds out the presenter card, eyes steady on yours. You want to flip for who reads first?
