Tug Of War (A Set It Off Fanficiton)

Chapter One.

"Dont You Believe In A Single Thing, Unless Its From Me, When I Say. There's No Me Without Us." 

  "Okay so I want you guys to make a single file line from the barricade, and end it back towards the door. Go ahead guys. Single file please! SINGLE FILE!" The male screamed as Henley grabbed her sisters hand and went running towards the front. But of course, she was pushed back a little, not like everyone was here for the same thing or anything like that right? Nikes hit the floor, hazel eyes moved back up, there he was. His cute little smile, his bright eyes, his everything. Maxx Danziger was steps away from her. This was what she had wanted since Warped Tour. She wanted to see him again, talk to him, hug him. "Remember guys, were just taking pictures right now. Videos will have to come around when you guys see them after the last bit of the show." Single file my ass. It was horrible. People were pushing, people were running and honestly, Henley about lost her footing, ten or eleven times. "Lexus are you sure you want to wait right here? I mean people wont stop pushing me and I dont think I am going to be able to hold up. People wont stop pushing." The girl muttered, looking down at her shoes. Henley had gotten dressed up for this, not that she wanted the boys to notice her but she wanted to look good, since nothing was going to be separating her from them this time.  Watching the meet and greet was sweet. All the people freaking out from hugging the guys, laughing and joking around. But Maxx was almost, stand offish, not acting like he usually did and it caught the girl off guard. So as she waited for her turn she kept watching, almost like she was stalking out her prey, not that she would ever think like him like that but it was weird, not like him at all. Before she knew it, it was her turn. "Next." Handing over the gold Iphone 6splus, she walked over to hug the boys individually. First Zach. The smell of minty toothpaste, axe. His arms wrapping around her tightly. Then Maxx, his arms barely moved against the girl, almost like he was pulling himself away. Thirdly Cody, a tight hug, the smell of alcohol, even more mens cologne, but his laughs filled up her ears, just what she needed to break her awkwardness. Lastly was Dan, the one she thought was her favorite. Arms wrapped around the taller male before his body practically covered hers. It was perfect, so nice, so warm. Probably the best one she had gotten all day. "So im standing between you guys?" She asked as she turned to look at Maxx and Cody. Her arms moved around the boys, but Maxx pulled away a little. So much space between her and him that if she would had seen this she would think that he didnt even want to be near her. "Yikes, that was harsh.." She muttered to herself before pulling away and telling them thank you. 

Her hazel eyes moved up as the lights flashed all around the concert venue. Thanks to the band that had played before, Henley was in a pretty hype mood and she was almost certain that nothing could change that feeling she had, but man was she wrong. Ever since she had saw Maxx walk through the door she noticed that something just wasnt right. He wasnt acting like the same boy that she had seen at Warped Tour the last two years. He wasn't smiling, sticking his tongue out, joking around, almost like something had went down between the boys or something. So when the four boys came out on stage, she looked over to him slump over towards the drums, it hadn't changed. The blonde haired man was so lifeless almost as he played the drumming for the songs that they played. But again, Dan didn't walk over to him, Cody wouldnt even look at him and lets not even get started on Zach, he wouldnt even come towards his way. Something was up. Henley watched as the boys moved from the stage, trying her hardest to see what was going on and that was when she noticed it. Maxx was just shaking his head, Cody let it go. Maxx had of course done something and now he was just acting like he wasnt into the concert. "What the hell.." The girl muttered against her rosy lips. What was going on? 

Waiting around for the boys to come back out seemed to take way longer than the two girls thought. Why was it that bands always take forever once they are done with their concerts to come back out? But then they showed up. All in new clothes, almost showered up it looked like. A frown still present on the drummers face as he walked out. What the hell was his problem? Now it was starting to boil into the girl. He had acted almost stand offish when they did the VIP and then he was barely even drumming during the concert. She was going to confront him, and nothing was going to change that. So when it was time for her to head up that way all she could hear was "I love you Maxx" "Oh my god I love you." "Have my babies." That was the last thing on her mind right now.  And so the second that the brunette got up there, she was rolling her eyes at his sly remark. "Well damn. Five minutes back stage, and I can turn that frown..upside down." He muttered, his green eyes looking up into hers as he smirked. She was speechless, even more speechless than she was when he was acting the way he was acting. "Oh so now you want to touch me? Since you know you acted like everyone and their mother had cooties back there?" She spat, her eyes hard on the boy. Right as she was about to really let it out, almost feeling disrespected Cody walked over, putting his hand on her waist. "Hey dont get mad at him he--" but Henley cut him off, pulling away from Cody before just letting him have it. "You hear all these girls in the lines, maybe even boys, talking about how much they love you. I was one of them. I have been for a few years now actually. But then I noticed how shitty your personality is. You were a ten..and now you might be a high four in my book." Her words almost shocked her, eyes back on the boy before she let out a breath. "You are here to try and give us the best night of our lives, just like we have all given our lives for you guys. And yet here you are acting like a prissy little bitch because you dont get your way. You act like you dont even like doing what you do. Hell, I could go out there and out drum your ass with the way you were playing tonight." Finally finishing, the girl turned and looked back at the boys who were speechless. Vans hitting the pavement she turned once more. "And that is how momma does it." yelling over the speaker before she walked out of the venue doors and down the lit road to the parking lot where her sister and her had parked.
