(COMPLETED) Ranya "Ren" Noriega doesn't do fangirling. At twenty-four, she prefers quiet playlists, clean design boards, and Japanese rock bands with poetic lyrics - not tattooed American musicians screaming about heartbreak. Her best friend, Nikola Fuentes, is the total opposite: loud, chaotic, and a self-proclaimed wife of Bad Omens' drummer, Nick Folio. When Nika wins two passes to Louder Than Life 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky, she drags Ren along for what she calls "a once-in-a-lifetime religious experience." Ren expects noise, crowds, and jet lag. What she doesn't expect is catching the attention of the one guy she swore wasn't her type. Nick's calm where she's cold, grounded where she's guarded - and somehow, he keeps showing up. Backstage. Online. Everywhere. She came for the vocals. But it seems she's staying for the drummer - and the wrong setlist might just be the one that finally plays her heart.Complete
