Dangerous Lust

Chapter1-Powered by Hate

January 8th, 2011

 It's now January of 2011. 7th Anthem has started their year with big projects ahead of them. They've begun promoting their first single from their upcoming second album (their fourth overall). The single is Lights On, and the album is slated to be titled, The Anthem. There's already a world tour being planned.

 They're also busy with their American comeback. Their original UTurn fan-base has grown considerably, but they're still struggling. They're not the "local band" from Boston anymore, but they're still thought of as "Radio Disney stars." Of course, 7A are still working on their transition into adult pop, but they're almost there.

 As for their TV series, The Delinquents, they're getting ready to film season 3. In this season, it'll be focusing on a "battle of the bands" between 7A and Britain's newest yet hottest band, The OutLaws. The show will also use songs from 7A's scrapped UTurn album, Zero. The songs, of course, were rerecorded and re-produced.

 In the meantime, The OutLaws founder and member Ethan was still hell-bent on destroying 7th Anthem. He met up with his girlfriend and publicist Melissa in a apartment in West London.

 When he entered her apartment, he saw a bulletin board in the living room. It had photos and clippings of 7th Anthem's two power couples, Andyson and Bailstin. In the middle of the board, there was a picture of Andrew and Alyson arm-in-arm with each other, grinning. She made her own version of Ethan's chart.

 Impressed, Ethan said, "You're very organized, and I can see that Andyson is your target."

 Melissa evilly grinned as she turned to face Ethan as she told him, "Everything's in motion for the Andyson split."

 "What about Bailstin?"

 "They're hot and heavy now. They're no longer the boring blonde couple. As for Andyson, their strong personalities obviously clashed."

 Then Ethan sat down as he asked, "What's the next plan?"

 Melissa sat next to Ethan as she explained, "Well, Andrew and Alyson are still together, but it's only for the media. They obviously broke up. There needs to be a breaking point, and either one of them will leave each other. As for Bailey and Justin, there needs to be friction between before they break up."

 "I just love your scheming. Since we need to break up Andyson, let's get Andrew to leave Alyson. There's something about him, but I couldn't put a finger on it."

 Then with that, the two hooked up.

 It's a few days later, and 7th Anthem are now back filming their TV series, The Delinquents. Even though they're busy promoting their latest single, Lights On, they had time to film their series.

 After spending the morning filming, they were on a break. Bailey and Justin were out getting coffee in their 'uniforms.' They saw Andrew and Alyson getting out of a posh bistro, looking pissed. They were being followed by the paparazzi.

 The world-famous, money-making, fandom-dream-come-true couple were trying to act like they're still together, but it was obvious that they weren't. The act didn't make things better as they've turning into a tabloid fodder.

 Bailstin, the second world-famous, money-making, fandom-dream-come-true couple, felt sorry for the couple. Bailey told Justin, "It's really sad that Andrew and Alyson's problems are shown all over the world. And it doesn't help that they put on an act."

 Justin said, "It's not like when we were teenagers. Our personal lives were kept hidden. Now we're about to be 22, and our lives aren't private anymore."

 "I wish we get them back together. They were the fiercest couple I've ever known. They fought so hard to keep this band going. Now they're back to hating each other. It's like we're back in grade school."

 Justin thought for a moment, and then he suggested, "Why don't we do a double date with them? We can go to a low-key restaurant where there's no cameras, and try to get Andrew and Alyson to see eye-to-eye again."

 Bailey smiled, and agreed to this idea.

 It's now Saturday, the only day where Bailstin can set up the double date with Andrew and Alyson. As for the former couple, they were reluctant, but Bailey and Justin forced them to go.

 The two pairs arrived at a posh, low-key restaurant. They got their table, and ordered their meals. Bailey tried to start a conversation. "So, how's everyone tonight?"

 Andrew and Alyson gave her glares. Justin said nervously, "Well, I'm having a great night with Bailey, and our best friends."

 But the two didn't respond. Instead, they were on their Tumblr apps, reblogging posts. Of course, their pages were under aliases due to being international celebrities. So their followers don't know who they are.

 Justin said, "We're at a restaurant. Now's not the time to be on Tumblr."

 Andrew said bitterly, "You have Tumblr too, you know. So don't act like f*cking hypocrite."

Justin's blue eyes widen, and exchanged looks with Bailey. She said nervously, "I'm going to the bathroom."

 Justin said hastily, "Yeah, me too."

 Then Alyson said coldly, "Don't have a quickie. We don't want that on TMZ."

 So Bailstin left the table in awkward silence. Andrew said to Alyson dryly, "Wow, harsh."

 Alyson responded sharply,  "Well, you acted a f*cking douchbag."

 "I'm Andrew Hawthorne. I always get my way!"

 "God, you talk like you're 16. You're 21! Act like a man for once!" Alyson said angrily.

 Then Andrew lashed out, "What about you? You act like the whole world revolves around you. And if something, or someone, threatens to bring you down, you go on a f*cking rampage! You don't think about how you're hurting other people!"

 "Oh, I hurt you?"

 Andrew stood there, wide-eyed and stunned. Then he violently kissed her lips. Alyson pushed him away, and then she said, "Get a hotel room, and we'll continue this."

 He gave an arrogant smirk, and took Alyson to a hotel near the restaurant. They got a room, and did the deed. After a rough several minutes, they were sweating and breathless. Then Andrew asked, "This is hate sex, yeah?"

 Alyson smirked, "What else would it be?"

 Then they were at it again.
