Reunited || Juliette and Stevie

𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: open mic night // late january.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆: juliette x stevie.

𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒: none

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒: juliette is wandering her new college campus and sees an open mic night sign, not knowing who also goes here. 

Stevie was setting up everything with Wren and Rose at the open mic night in one of the restaurants on campus. Things were going good for their band, it wasn't like she really wanted to make it big, she just wanted to have a good time with her friends. But it was nice to get some recognition every now and then. Once it was their turn, the band got up on stage and greeted everyone. It was the first time Striking Vipers was performing here at Brindleton, so Stevie was a bit nervous. She tried to think back on all the times they performed back in their hometown as she held onto the neck of her bass guitar. It instantly reminded her of Juliette. Her ex girlfriend always went to her performances, and for a second, the thought of her calmed Stevie's nerves. But she quickly shoved the thought out of her head. She looked over at her bandmates and counted them off before they began to play Are You Bored Yet? by Wallows and Clairo

Juliette had been passing by a sign that said there were local performances. God, how she did love small bands. There was nothing better than hearing another band's take on one of her favorite songs. The gut wrenching feeling of one of your favorites sounding like the first time you heard it, but even better. Knowing that it could only come from live music, and that it would never be replicated again. She heard the opening to Are You Bored Yet? by Wallows and Clairo as she walked down the hallway, and she picked up the pace. Sapphic music? It called to her as she entered the room and got a seat at the back, and the sound of someone's voice brought her attention. It was Rosemary. Rosemary Hollingsworth. Then she saw him, Wren. And where there was Rosemary and Wren ... she was afraid to look. After a few moments, she pulled her eyes to see Stevie there, holding her bass. Juliette stared for a moment, before realizing that she was going to be seen. Her heart was pounding a mile a minute. She grabbed her purse and darted out of there, right to Florence's room. Maybe Stevie doesn't go here, just Wren or Rose does and the band had stayed together. Maybe she was just here for a minute. She hadn't seen the other girl in two years, and they hadn't talked in a long time. Stevie was blocked on everything, and Juliette was blocked on hers. How was she to know? //END
