Succession is hard to manage when juggling love and work. Some are cut out for it, others weren't.

Julie and Flynn were a true example that hard work pays off. They didn't just sit around and wait for it to come to them. It was like life wanted to test how much they could achieve with each other. In life, some real hardballs try to destroy that lifelong bond between one another. Other times, it's oneself from inside breaking it piece by piece. Slowly knocking down the built memories and future ones. It feels off not having the girls beside me to encourage me on my outfit. Telling me that I slay that.

I wonder if they are getting enough sleep. Touring around ten cities in five states is tedious but worth it sometimes. Even with knowing some states could go whack, it is worth knowing some teens are dreaming on the day Double-Trouble comes by. I still remember the day Julie came home one night to blabber about her day before slumping down and staying silent for more than five minutes. That was the day I realized something was going on with her. But that same day was the one that I heard from Flynn that she attempted to ask Julie out. At that second, I knew these two had to become something. They were made to be even if only one knew that.

Juggling love and work could never be easy. Some get easily distracted and lose touch with both after a few weeks. I just hope they knew where they stood in their relationship and career. Not fun when both become a problem and everything comes crashing down.

For Julie, it was another day on their tour around the states. In the split middle of it all, they had to perform at Madison Square Garden. For just two days, they had to perform there. A Friday and a Saturday for people to enjoy them playing their music.

She couldn't believe that they were able to perform at Madison Square Garden. But that wasn't the end of that and they managed to have their fans, sell out in two days. It is one thing to sell out and not have the place filled with fans but another to have the place packed.

Just one glance outside did she realize how many people it was. This wasn't like their old-time gigs with her old friend's band. This is her and her love performing on that stage. All eyes will be upon them. All the attention will be on them. Everyone will be expecting much out of them, yet was it worth it... all the years of getting the back end of every deal because no one believed a duo could make it far in life.

We wanted to reach those who couldn't believe that they could do anything. If they give one inch of that it works, they it could work in the end. Communication is key to making anything last. That is what her mom used to tell her when she would come home to her and her dad sitting in the kitchen chairs.

It is how we learn what we are feeling and wanting. Nothing could ever cut in between that and destroy it. If anything, communication is how Julie was able to achieve her life with Flynn. One side of the party wanted something more in the relationship. The other was still figuring out what to do after school finished. Where to go on from a set routine to no longer having it. An entire ordeal was messed up by a single closing of doors.

"Jules! Come on, we got to go up!"

But from what Julie remembered before her mother died of a heart attack. Her life was perfect, she had everything going on beat and right, but then tragedies happened and now here she stood. Standing in front of two doors that lead out from the sides to the center of the stage. When one door closes, another one opens.

It was the middle of their setlist when she notices it, Flynn set her headphones down on the booth. She then made her way to grab her microphone before jumping down the slope to make her way to Julie.

Julie wasn't paying attention to Flynn. She was glancing out and into the stands to look at the fans. Watching from the right side of the arena. She knew what some of the fan's boards meant but others were quite the riddle to solve. But one caught her attention and sent her squinting at the sign. Hoping to get a clear view of it and what it had written.

But the dying down of the fan's chatter made her raise a brow. Glancing up at the giant screens, she saw herself on it. It wasn't just Julie on the signs, there were words too. Slowly spelling itself out on the screens before showing Flynn kneeling on the right side of the screen.

A beautiful ring lay in front of her as Julie looks down to spot Flynn glancing back up at her. A moment unlike any other that she could ever experience. Two of her wishes were happening that night. To perform at Madison Square Garden and to get married one day.

Smiling down at Flynn, Julie immediately rushes to engulf her in a hug. With the force of Julie running to Flynn, she pushed her down to the floor. This didn't stop the pair from hugging on the floor, with Julie being the little spoon out of the two. It didn't take an answer for Flynn to know where she stood with Julie in the relationship. From the floor, Flynn can spot herself on the screen, so the only thing she could do was raise her hands above her head in pure joy.
