Through You - Reneé Rapp

Kiss

As Natasha and Reneé embarked on their tour across the United States, each city brought new adventures and unforgettable experiences. From the bright lights of New York City to the laid-back vibes of Los Angeles, they soaked in the sights and sounds of each destination, their bond growing stronger with every passing day.

With Natasha by her side, Reneé felt a sense of joy and freedom unlike anything she had ever known. They laughed, they danced, they explored, their spirits buoyed by the excitement of the journey ahead.

As they performed in front of adoring crowds night after night, the fans couldn't help but notice the undeniable chemistry between Reneé and Natasha. They shared inside jokes, exchanged knowing glances, and moved with a synchronicity that spoke volumes.

In the eyes of the fans, Natasha and Reneé were more than just friends—they were soulmates, destined to be together. And as rumors of a possible relationship began to swirl, their love only seemed to grow stronger.

But for Natasha and Reneé, the truth was more complex. While their feelings for each other had deepened over time, they had yet to fully explore the depths of their connection. They cherished their friendship above all else, hesitant to risk it for the unknown.

As the night wore on and the after party of one of her concerts came to life, Reneé found herself caught up in the energy of the crowd. The music pulsed through her veins, the drinks flowed freely, and before she knew it, she had too many drinks. As Natasha watched from across the room, her heart sank at the sight of Reneé flirting with some girl. She felt a pang of concern gnawing at her insides, a fear of the unknown creeping into her thoughts. And then, in a moment that seemed to unfold in slow motion, Reneé stumbled into the center of the dance floor, her inhibitions cast aside as she kissed a girl.

Natasha's heart skipped a beat at the sight, a surge of conflicting emotions flooding her mind. She felt a pang of jealousy, an ache of longing, and a sense of betrayal all at once. But beneath it all, there was an overwhelming sadness—a sadness born of the fear that she had lost Reneé to the chaos of the night. As Reneé continued to dance and laugh, oblivious to the turmoil raging within Natasha's heart.

Unable to bear the pain any longer, Natasha turned on her heel and left the party, tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal that gnawed at her heart, the sting of watching Reneé's affections directed elsewhere. Alone in the quiet of her hotel room, Natasha allowed herself to succumb to the overwhelming flood of emotions. She had known deep down that her feelings for Reneé were more than just friendship, but seeing Reneé kissing other girls had brought those feelings crashing to the surface with a brutal force.

In that moment of vulnerability, Natasha made a decision—a decision to hide her feelings for Reneé, to bury them deep within her heart where they could no longer cause her pain. She couldn't risk losing their friendship, couldn't bear the thought of jeopardizing the bond they shared. And so, with a heavy heart and tear-stained cheeks, Natasha resolved to keep her feelings hidden, to act as though nothing had changed between them. But deep down, she knew that the wounds inflicted by Reneé's actions would take time to heal, and that their relationship would never be quite the same again.

As Reneé sat in her hotel room earlier that day, the weight of her manager's text message hung heavy on her heart. The words echoed in her mind, stirring up a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. She knew that the rumors about her and Natasha had been circulating among fans, but she hadn't expected her manager to address them so directly. With a heavy sigh, Reneé reached for her phone and dialed her manager's number, her fingers trembling with uncertainty. As they spoke, her manager expressed concern about the potential impact of the rumors on Reneé's career. He urged her to distance herself from Natasha romantically in order to protect her image and preserve her professional reputation.

Reneé listened in silence, her heart sinking with each word her manager spoke. She knew that her manager had her best interests at heart, but the thought of denying her true feelings for Natasha felt like a betrayal of everything she held dear.

As she hung up the phone, Reneé felt a wave of sadness wash over her. The weight of her manager's words pressed down on her like a heavy burden, suffocating her hopes and dreams.

Feeling lost and alone, Reneé turned to alcohol as a means of escape. With each sip, the numbness crept in, dulling the pain of her shattered dreams and broken heart.

But as the alcohol flowed freely, Reneé's inhibitions melted away, and she found herself drowning in a sea of sorrow and regret. The memory of her manager's words haunted her, casting a shadow over her thoughts and feelings.

And as she stumbled through the after-party, her mind clouded by alcohol-induced haze, Reneé's actions spoke louder than words. In a moment of desperation, she sought solace in the arms of others, hoping to drown out the pain of her feelings for Natasha. But even as she kissed those girls in front of Natasha, a part of her knew that it was futile—a hollow attempt to fill the void left by the absence of the one person who truly held her heart.

As the party raged on around her, Reneé was consumed by a sense of profound sadness. And as she stumbled back to her hotel room alone, the echoes of her manager's words ringing in her ears, Reneé knew that she had a difficult decision to make—a decision that would change the course of her life.
