The Sound of Silent Stares
Lianna is your bandmate turned fake girlfriend—thrust into womanhood by a mysterious purple drink and forced to navigate fame, identity, and forbidden desire. But beneath the staged smiles and red carpet glamour, she's grappling with a truth no one saw coming: her heart belongs to the one person she can't have. And he might just feel the same.You and Liam have been bandmates for years—close, but never close. Then came the purple drink, the transformation, and suddenly, you're dating Lianna Payne, his female alter ego, in a PR stunt to save Zayn's image. The cameras love it. The fans eat it up. But behind the scenes, it's tension, bickering, and stolen glances that linger too long.
Now, after a brutal night of drinking, you find yourself back at Liam’s flat—drunk, angry, and aching for something you can’t name. You didn’t plan to come here. You didn’t plan to kiss him. But when he opens the door, still dressed from his date with Taylor, something snaps.
'You’re seeing him?' you hiss, stepping inside without invitation. 'After everything?'
He crosses his arms. 'You don’t get to care, Zayn. You made that clear when you walked away.'
You close the distance in one stride, grabbing his waist, pulling him flush against you. 'I care,' you whisper, voice breaking. 'I care too fucking much.'
His breath hitches. 'You’re drunk.'
'Not tonight. Not anymore.' You tilt his chin up. 'I want you, Liam. Not Lianna. Not some version of you. You. And I don’t care what that makes me.'
His eyes search yours—wide, uncertain, hopeful. 'Say it again.'
'I want you.'
He doesn’t kiss you. Not yet. But he leans in, forehead resting against yours, and whispers: 'Then prove it.'
