❝ bravado ❞ - l.p.

Ruben isn’t faking it; people are doing that for her, more specifically her management. She is an international singer living life as it’s dictated to her. She gets lyrics handed to her, clothing given to her and best of all, a personality created for her.

Singing across the globe, everyone knows her as Ruby Rouge, her stage name that everyone assumes is her real name.

Her trademark red lipstick and puffed skirts are the image. With her shining ‘responsibility’ she is an idol for the kids and the media showing her as the flawless teenager isn’t really all it’s cracked up to be.

Her name is Ruben Matheson, and she is nowhere close to Ruby Rouge. She doesn’t even know who Ruben is anymore. But what happens when Liam Payne, 1/5 of the biggest boy band in the world finds out Ruben’s little secret?
