BIOGRAPHY:

reyna and cassie became best friends at fifteen years old --- if you asked them both where they life really began, they’d say in junebug park, on the sixteen of may, when they had the fortune of meeting each other (this is, of course, erases reyna’s father dying when she was six, her mother slowly falling into alcohol addiction, her mother’s slow recovery at the hands of her two daughters, her mother buying reyna singing lessons, the little try-outs her mother would attend with her). no, when asked about her life, reyna always began with cassie; that’s what cassie wanted, after all --- and reyna had learned that disappointing her was a capital offense. 

by thirteen, reyna’s talent was clear. she wrote songs (her favourite was songbird, written for her mother, performed only for her mother --- too precious to share with anyone else), attended dance festivals, and sang like a little angel. that star potential shone through reyna in every waking moment.

by seventeen, with the use of cassie’s connections, the two were a quickly rising duo, kid-friendly and utter sweethearts (their name: pinkgum, named after their two favourite things --- the colour pink and gum...sue them, alright, they didn’t need to be that creative). it’s all guest appearances on tv shows, coke snorted from each other’s bellies, drinking after dark, reyna’s mother refusing to answer her calls anymore. you know, the good life --- reyna takes to smoking like other people take to swimming and cassie finds her addiction to be to matthew donallie, their manager. 

by twenty two, reyna’s voice is brutalised. she has a smoker’s rasp to her words, can barely hit a high note anymore, and their career begins to plummet. that’s when the conversation happens: oh, the fucking conversation. you see, reyna’s not really made for the camera, for the limelight. it might just be better if cassie becomes a solo artist, right? and what is reyna’s fate? ding, ding, ding! she becomes a fucking songwriter. see, it’s not all bad; reyna does like writing music (but she much prefers singing it). she becomes the overpaid lackey to cassie, following orders, a personal assistant meant to write songs and jump when she’s told to. 

she’s twenty-six when it happens. cassie’s been partying it up all week, ignoring the upcoming drop date of her album; an album that’s missing two songs. she breezes into the studio four hours before the drop time and dismisses every song that reyna has written for her. TACKY. OVERDONE. BORING. STUPID. THE LYRICS DON’T MAKE SENSE. cassie wants something and reyna’s not going to fucking give it to her, not this time (she’d sung songbird to cassie once, the both of them drunk and giddy, reyna whispering the lyrics right into cassie’s ear). an argument bursts out that matthew’s too tired to stop. cassie raises a hand to punch reyna and the two girls run from each oother. 

when the album drops, songbird soars to number one. it outperforms everything else cassie has ever done alone. fuck, reyna doesn’t even know what’s happened until the next morning, blurry-eyed and brushing her teeth and switching on the tv. there it is. her song. her mother’s song. the one thing that she hadn’t let cassie have; the one thing she fucking stole. 

three hours later, reyna has sold everything she knows about cassie to every news outlet she can get her hands on. her father’s affair with an assistant. cassie’s drug addiction. photos of cassie with a different man --- with her manager. cassie’s career is sunk in a week and guess who steps up to the plate? let the woman reign.
