chapter twenty four,
our song

    It was the offical release day for I Knew it, I Know You and Nailea could not contain her excitement. The anticipation of releasing a new song was the only thing on her mind, yet her recent breakup still lingered.

In an attempt to push aside thoughts of Nicholas, she tried to focus all her attention on the excitement of her fans finally getting to hear the song.

She grabbed her phone and opened Instagram immediately, her finger hovering over the upload button, heart racing. Nailea waited for the text from her manger to let her know that it was released and that she could officially post about it.

Finally, her phone buzzed with a text from Miller, the message simply stating, "It's out. Go ahead and share it!"

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips. This was it. She took one more deep breath and pressed the upload button.

Just after pressing the post button, Nailea's notifications were immediately blowing up. The sight of it all was overwhelming yet exhilarating. She was glad that fans were already enjoying the song, her heart swelling with joy.

As she scrolled through the comments, she noticed that most of them were positive, but there was also an obvious mention of her and Nicholas.

Some fans were supportive and understanding about the breakup, while others were speculating and asking questions. Nailea sighed, wishing she could avoid the topic completely.

Yet, she knew that as a famous person, it was impossible to completely avoid the media frenzy around her personal life, especially a highly public breakup like this one.

So she took a deep breath and began to respond to some comments, attempting to keep the conversation focused on the song instead of her personal life.

Despite the challenges, she was still filled with a sense of accomplishment. The song was finally out, and from the response so far, it seemed like it was going to be a hit.

Over the next few days, the song gained even more traction. Fans were sharing it all over social media, and Nailea was grateful for the positive response. She felt excited, which was a welcome change from her days of wallowing in sadness after the breakup.

But as exciting as it was, the constant chatter about her and Nicholas was beginning to wear on her. Every time she opened Instagram or Twitter, there were countless articles speculating about their breakup, or people wondering if the song was about him.

Though she tried to avoid looking at the comments, she couldn't help but glance at a few here and there. The questions and theories were endless and it started to make her anxious.

As much as the constant speculation about her and Nicholas was starting to get on her nerves, Nailea tried to look at the bright side. The success of her new song was incredible.

The positive feedback and messages from fans helped her focus on what really mattered - her music and the people who enjoyed it.

She decided to channel all her energy into enjoying the success, instead of letting the breakup consume her thoughts.
