A/N: This chapter was written a few years ago. At the time, I felt drained from trying to stretch the original plot of The One Series. I have no intentions of finishing this chapter. I'm just posting it as is. This is just to give it the "complete" status. If you're reading this chapter, please know that The One Series has been completely rewritten and revised. Almost everything had been moved around, added on, expanded upon, and/or removed from the plot.
I also have no plans of ever finishing the original drafts of The One Series. Unless I get a consensus otherwise, this is the last book of the original draft version of The One Series.

Chapter22-The Wrath of an Outlaw
January 7th, 2013
It's now the beginning of 2013. So far, 7th Anthem are starting the year off with a bang. Their current album, ForeverZero5 is their best seller of the year. They're getting ready to start releasing the third single, Do What I Say, which is Amanda's solo single. And they're about to premiere their final season of The Delinquents. It's subtitled, Now Or Never.
They're also rehearsing for their upcoming world tour, Forever 7th Anthem World Tour 2013. They're even beginning preproduction for their fourth album as 7A (sixth overall for the band itself), projected to be released in early 2014.
So far, 7A has a packed year. As for their competitors, The Extras and The OutLaws, they're just beginning their year. The Extras are still on top of the charts in Europe and North America, but they're still not as huge as 7A. They're even starting to feel exhausted from tours and promotions.
As for The OutLaws, they're struggling to stay on the charts. They're now in a meeting with their manager to decide on what their future is going to look like.
He began: "Okay, your long-awaited second album did not do so well. You're being overshadowed by One Direction, Little Mix, and your rivals 7th Anthem. We need to figure out what to do with your future."
One of the members, Marissa, stood up. She said, "I can speak for all of us that we all want Ethan Jackson out of this band. I know he formed this band, but he's hardly with us for, well, anything! He doesn't even sing that well!"
Ethan immediately stood up from his chair, and pointed his finger at her. He said angrily, "That's bullshit, Marissa! I'm the best singer in the band! I'm even better than that fucking Andrew Hawthorne!"
"That's the thing," Paul jumped in, "you're obsessed with that Andrew guy. I seriously doubt he did anything to you. If anything, you might be in love with that dude!"
With that, Ethan punched him in his face. He growled, "Shut up! I'm not in love with that fucking dickhead!"
Paul scoffed, "You're sure? Maybe you're secretly gay for him, hence why you punched me in the face!"
Just as Ethan was about to strangle him with his bare hands, Kendall grabbed him, and pulled him away. He then threw him out of the boardroom. Kendall said breathlessly to the manager, "He's also obsessed with bringing down 7th Anthem. And we have proof."
Alice takes out her iPad, and shows photos of court documents of restraining orders from practically everyone outside the band; and journal entries of his plans to take down 7A.
Suddenly, Ethan enters the room. Kendall pushes him out of the room again. The manager was appalled by all of this.
