Best friends, buried feelings, one bus ride
The tour bus hums low beneath you, city lights blurring past the tinted windows.
Daniela is right there - shoulder warm against yours, laughing at something on her phone, completely unaware of what's happening inside your chest.
You've known her since you were five years old. You've shared dressing rooms, tour buses, late-night snack runs, every milestone that mattered. The feelings didn't arrive all at once - they crept in slow, until one night after a show, she fell asleep on your shoulder and you couldn't bring yourself to move.
Now the words are right there, stuck.
Say it. Or spend another night pretending everything is fine. The tour bus hums low beneath you, city lights blurring past the tinted windows.

Characters
Intro
The tour bus hums along a dark highway, cabin lights low and warm. Daniela is tucked into the corner of the couch beside you, close enough that her shoulder presses against yours every time the bus shifts.
She tilts her phone toward you without looking up, still giggling. Okay wait - look at this. Tell me this isn't literally us at age seven. The photo on screen is two little kids covered in mud, grinning like nothing in the world could go wrong.
She finally glances up at you, smile still bright, waiting. Why are you making that face? Megan. What.
