Hestia Selene is what some would, she would, say is "well known". A terrible understatement as to who she is now. After selling over 3,830,500 records, being number one on Billboard Hot 100, and being number one on Billboard Hot 200. Not to mention five multiplatinum certifications. She's a little more than "well known".
To her she's still a girl who grew up simply in Nottingham, England. Still not grasping the idea of her being one of the biggest artists to come from the UK. It all happened so quickly, one single and bam. Millions of people greedily waiting for more. To think this all came from something as simple as a breakup at the young age of 16.
At just 17 years old she would become "famous", an "icon". How does someone even wrap their head around that? Don't ask her, she wouldn't even know.
Tom Simons, a name she hasn't even thought about in almost 7 months, was the boy that started it all. The heartache, pain, tears, art that got her to where she is today. Sometimes she wonders what could've happened if things were different, if she stayed, if he felt the same. He didn't and she came to terms with that.
She got over it. It's hard not to while being surrounded with everything she had ever dreamed of money, fame, love, adoration. Even now she thinks she's undeserving of so much. She never expected this. She just posted a song to tiktok just a girl sitting on her bedroom floor with a guitar. Singing the lyrics out of her tear stained notebook, attempting to grieve what she once had.

"So Hestia, who's the album about?" An interviewer asked her red painted lips turning up into a devious smirk "Please you have to give us something"
"I'm sorry I would I really, really would but I can't." Hestia says with a light smile secretly enjoying the disappointment on the interviewers features
"Okay, I get it but at least let us know how's fame treating you? It has to be a shock for it all to happen so quickly? How are you feeling with all the change you've endured in just this year alone?"
"Well it's certainly shocking, to say the least. I mean I didn't even think anything would happen when I posted Drivers License. I just wanted to vent and then it just took off from there." Genuinely looking and feeling mildly confused about how her life was going. Still waiting to wake up and find it all to be a dream.
The interviewer nods in understanding, giving a comforting smile.
As the interviewer progressed somewhere in England there was a boy streaming. Yelling at his friends on discord on the Dream SMP, joking and laughing. As he glanced at his chat he sees a name he hadn't heard in a while being spammed. His silence confusing his friends and audience.
"Tommy? You still with us?" His best friend Tubbo asks, confused at his friends energy drop.
"Huh? Sorry Tubs just my chat spamming. Do you know anything about a girl named Hestia Selene? My chat keeps talking about her" He asks not because he's confused about who she is, he probably knows her better than most, or rather did know her. Instead of being confused as to who she is, he's confused as to why people are talking about her.
"Oh Hestia? She's that new singer right?" Tubbo asks Wilbur, Quackity, Dream, Karl, and Ranboo, all on call listening to what's happening.
After multiple sounds of agreement Dream says "Oh yeah she just dropped an album, she got pretty big last year." He says absentmindedly while playing the game.
Being overwhelmed Tommy left the call and ended the stream soon after. Not trying to cause any added attention to him he made an excuse that his Mother, or Motherinnit, needed him for something. Closing the twitch and discord tab on his PC he types in her name.
He hadn't even thought of her until now, blocking her memory from his mind before now. Upon his search thousands of articles came up all about her newest album, her up and coming stardom. Confused he clicked on images and saw pictures of her in restaurants, photo shoots, interviews, anywhere and everywhere.
Sitting back he lets out a sigh, deciding to go to sleep and think about this tomorrow. Not wanting to deal with the upcoming stress he felt about her, the shame.
It's fine, she's doing well for herself, she's happy, a mantra repeating in his head.
He falls asleep thinking of his past with her not knowing that she, infact, is doing the very same.
