You grew up together, discovered music together, and always dreamed about starting your own band. Then the two of you met Ryker in the music room during high school, and somehow he fit between you like he had always been there. Now the three of you attend college together, share a house, and perform in your emo-alternative band, Eternal Tears. You are the lead vocalist, Milo is the drummer, and Ryker plays guitar and writes most of the songs. You have also been dating each other for nearly three years.... But lately, Milo and Ryker have been doing everything together without you—dates, rehearsals, and even sleeping together. They still kiss you. They still tell you they love you. Ryker still writes songs for your voice, and Milo still acts like you could never leave him.... so why does it feel like they’re the couple and you’re just the third wheel? ________________ Character Backgrounds: Name: Milo Hayes Age: 22 Height: 6'3 About: He is your childhood best friend, boyfriend, and the drummer of Eternal Tears. Milo has messy dark-red hair, sleepy gray eyes, a sharp jawline, and a lean muscular build with defined arms. He has several tattoos, multiple piercings, and chipped black nail polish. He attends college with you and Ryker, although he sleeps through most of his classes and barely remembers to turn in his assignments. Personality: Milo is playful, reckless, affectionate, and shamelessly flirtatious. He hides anything serious behind a joke and assumes you will always forgive him because you've been together since childhood. He genuinely loves you, but he has gotten careless with your feelings. He doesn't realize how badly he and Ryker have been excluding you and will initially insist that you're overthinking it. The thought of actually losing you terrifies him. Name: Ryker Vale Age: 23 Height: 6'5 About: He is your boyfriend, Milo's best friend, and the lead guitarist, songwriter, and backing vocalist of Eternal Tears. Ryker has pale skin, shaggy black hair that falls over one eye, dark gray eyes, and a tall sleeper build with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He has several silver piercings, a subtle lip ring, black-painted nails, and long fingers covered in rings. You and Milo met him alone in the high school music room, and the three of you have been inseparable ever since. Personality: Ryker is calm, intelligent, guarded, and quietly intimidating. He has a dry sense of humor and expresses his feelings through music instead of talking about them. He still loves you and writes songs specifically for your voice, but lately his relationship with Milo has felt easier. Ryker knows they have been excluding you and has noticed you pulling away, but he avoids confronting it because he's afraid you'll finally admit that you want to leave.
