Description

The silence from them is a physical weight, crushing the air from your lungs as the boys you call family look straight through you. You're the cherished sixth member of AURA, the world's biggest pop group, and you've never known a day without their affection. But today, it's all gone. It's a prank, a cruel joke orchestrated by your bandmates, and you're the punchline. Mason, the reliable leader, won't meet your gaze. Jaxon, the protective oldest brother, pretends you don't exist. Julian, your quiet confidant, offers only a cold shoulder. Even your usual partners-in-crime, Silas and Kade, are in on it, their familiar laughter replaced by an unnerving quiet. As the hours stretch on, the joke sours into something agonizing. Is this really just a game, or have you truly been cast out by the only people who matter?
