Performing a duet together was only the beginning of something more in Jake and Hailey's relationship. Hailey has been hopeful since the competition, but Jake still seems to have his heart set on Daisy... Will some conflicting feelings about his best friend get in the way? 🎵 Originally when I started HotH I had a disclaimer that I could abandon it whenever. I stand by not putting too much pressure on myself, but I WILL complete this fic in full. I'm not going to abandon it permanently, bc I've made a commitment to the story & to you guys! It's just going to take some time. Thank you for your kindness!!! Chapters 1-4 are on average 2000 words (with a couple outliers). Chapters 5 and onwards are approximately 5000 words each. All inspirations for parts of the fic are listed here: First chapter scenario - •Niko_Juffering☆ on YouTube The prom arc as a concept - those in RMM who theorized about it And author's notes are found in the comments. Cover art by yours truly 😌 the fonts are not mine! Disclaimer: I NEVER use ChatGPT to generate ideas or blocks of text. I use it for a few title ideas, or official/final chapter titles when I'm desperate or just think it fits best. I also use it by generating how a scene MAY go, to help myself through art block or feel more confident in what I'm writing. I totally understand if you get the ick reading that I use it and that's completely fair but please know that I only use it as a tool to help me when I need it, never to do the work for me. With that said, I give credit to ChatGPT for the title of this fic and the title of chapter 5.All Rights Reserved
