Rising star Story Belle is quickly finding her voice in a world where dreams rarely come true. With lyrics that cut to the core and a sound as unique as she is, she's caught the attention of fans everywhere. But there's one person she's always hoped...
The next morning, Story woke up to sunlight peeking through the guest room curtains and the gentle buzz of her phone on the nightstand. Reaching over with a sleepy smile, she unlocked her phone to see a message from Billie.

Bils🤍: Good morning, sleepyhead. Hope you slept well.
Story's smile widened as she typed her reply.
Story: Good morning! I did, thank you. How about you?
The response came almost instantly.
Bils🤍: Shark hogged the bed again. Barely got any sleep.
Story: Well, he is the king of the house, isn't he?
Bils🤍: Yeah, yeah. What's on the agenda today?
Story: Hanging out with Gracie before I fly home tomorrow. Gotta see my family and pack for the tour.
Bils🤍: Excited to see everyone?
Story: Definitely. I've missed my mom and the twins so much. Plus, it'll be good to get everything ready. I still can't believe I'm going with you on tour.
Bils🤍: It's happening, Story Belle. Get ready LMAO.
Story paused, her heart fluttering at Billie's use of her stage name.
Story: Thank you, Billie. For everything.
Bils🤍: Anytime. Hit me up if you need anything today. See you soon 🤍.
With a soft sigh, Story set her phone down, her mind swirling with excitement and nerves. She threw on a hoodie and headed to the kitchen, deciding to start her day with one of her favorite breakfasts: an açai bowl.
Blending frozen fruit and almond milk, she topped her bowl with fresh banana slices, strawberries, granola, and a drizzle of honey. Sitting at the counter, she dug in while pulling up YouTube to catch up on her favorite creators. Kara and Nate's latest travel vlog had her dreaming of future adventures, while Luna Montana's ballet videos brought back nostalgic memories of her dance days.
Gracie eventually wandered into the kitchen, still in her pajamas, her hair tied up in a messy bun. "Morning," she mumbled, grabbing a mug of coffee.
"Morning!" Story replied brightly, glancing up from her laptop.
Gracie took a seat across from her, cradling her coffee. "So, what's the plan for today? I've got errands, but we could hang out later if you're free."
Story hesitated for a moment before setting her spoon down. "Actually... I'm flying home tomorrow."
Gracie blinked. "Wait, what? Already? I thought i'd at least have 2 more days." She said with a sad smile.
"Yeah," Story said softly. "I need to see my mom and the twins before the tour. Plus, I have to pack."
