Warped Tour (A Shannon Leto Story)

Breakups?

The sounds of raised voices made us slow down in our hurry to get to Ace.

"Look I just don't know if I can do this anymore." I heard Ace before actually seeing her.

"Of course you can't, I told you there's nothing going on with me and her." Woody's voice was laced with agitation and anger.

"It has nothing to do with her, it has to do with us and I'm just over it." Ace's voice was rising with her anger and I knew if we didn't get her away from Woody now he might not get away with all his body parts.

"Ace!" I watched my blonde best friend and drummer snap her head around and finally notice our group.

"Uhm-- hey what are you guys doing up so late?" Ace stuttered trying to calm the anger I knew was bubbling under the surface of her calm facade.

"We just got some news," Charlie spoke up glancing between Ace and Woody.

"Ok, just," her voice faltered slightly, "give me a second."

"It's fine Kacee, just go with them, you'd rather do that than deal with us anyways." Woody bit out.

"Don't you dare make this about my band Alex, it's unfair and you know it has nothing to do with us." Ace said spinning around to face, what looked like her soon to be ex-boyfriend.

"Whatever," Woody said, turning around to open his door, "I'm going to bed."

"You walk away now and I'm done," Ace threatened at his back, "finished."

"Fine, I'm done arguing," Woody said, "it's all we've done the past few days and I'm tired of it."

The sound of a door opening beside me had my attention snapping from my friend and her situation to who was joining our little show.

"What's going on out here?" Juliet's voice cut through, setting my teeth on edge, standing in only a black silk robe, arms folded and braced against the door frame.

"Nothing Juliet go away." Brook spoke up from behind me.

"No need to be rude pipsqueak." I felt my eyes widen before grabbing my sister's arm, restraining her from going after the annoying singer.

"Hey love," I watched the pale tattooed arm of Andy's slide around Juliet's waist and pull her against his shirtless chest, "everything ok?"

The smirk that painted her lips made me seriously consider letting Brook go, consequences be damned, but the sound of a door being slammed brought me back to the situation at hand and not my sordid love affair with the blue eyed frontman.

"Fuckkk," Ace's voice sighed out as she stared at the door in front of her.

"Ace?" I asked quietly, "are you ok?"

"I'm fine, can we just go back to our room, I want to hear this news." She said, walking slowly towards us.

"Syd?" I heard Andy's voice from behind Juliet and I wanted the ground to swallow me whole. I had managed to avoid Andy at all possible costs and now here he was with his arms wrapped around his wife, could my life suck anymore?

"Fuck. Off. Andy!" Kacee gritted out as she passed by, grabbing my arm as she went, dragging me away from the man who had caused me to shut myself away from everyone.

I stumbled behind my irate friend as she yanked me away from Andy, Charlie and Brook following close behind.

"Are you really ok?" Brook asked Ace as we travelled down the halls we had ran through earlier.

"Yeah, I will be," she responded dejectedly.

Our voices bounced off the walls causing Pete to step out of his room as we were passing by, "Am I going to get her back anytime tonight?"

"Eventually," Charlie said as she laced her arm through Brook's.

"I promise we will send her back to you in like 15 minutes just need to let her in on some developments." I reassured the musician.

Pete waved us on with a stupid grin thrown Brooklyn's way before heading back into his room.

"This better be worth it," Brook sighed out as she followed us into our shared room.

"Trust me," Charlie said, excitement bubbling back to the surface, "it is."
