Fading Echoes (OCxArianaGrande) [Being Re-Written]

Benny Everhart was never supposed to go solo.
At 35, she's a seasoned musician with a voice that once defined a generation-alongside the four childhood friends she grew up with in Maine. United by their passion for music, they were discovered in 2011 by Columbia Records scout Jenny Graywood and spent the next seven years breaking barriers, earning critical acclaim, and building a loyal fan base that saw them as more than just a band-they were icons.

But in 2019, everything unraveled after one explosive night in New York. The band split. Words were said. Hearts were broken. And Northside Bound became another legend with an unfinished ending.

Now it's 2024, and though their lives have moved on-solo careers, film deals, world tours-something still pulls at their past. When a secret reunion sets the stage for a possible comeback at the VMA's, long-buried tension resurfaces. Could this be a second chance... or a final goodbye?

As old wounds reopen and new sparks fly, Benny finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a certain pop star-an artist who's admired her from afar for years. But with the spotlight looming and her walls still up, Benny has to ask herself: can she trust again, onstage and off?
