Tour Fights

Johnny's POV

After putting Ronnie in the backseat of the van, I carefully take off her wig and place it with her belongings. I also place a blanket on top of her so she doesn't get cold. Looks like I'll be driving to San Antonio tonight. Luckily the rest of the band sleeps like rocks.

After making sure my baby sister is comfortable, I snatch her cigarettes from her bag and light one. Ever since the accident, Ronnie has been obsessed with fire, which is why she started smoking. I, on the other hand, know it was all my fault. I can still remember my father yelling for me to take Ronnie and run outside. After doing so, I look back at the burning house and find that nobody followed me.

The fire alarms wake me from a deep slumber. My lungs begin to fill with smoke as I crawl off the couch and onto the floor. I look around and find that the candle I lit last night had tipped over. My dad comes running into the living room. He turns to me and yells for me to get Ronnie and run to the edge of the front yard. Knowing this is my fault, I do as I'm told. I wake my six year old baby sister and gently carry her through the burning house. I hear my dad yelling into the phone and calling for help. I look around for my mom, but she's nowhere to be seen. I duck outside right before a wooden beam crumbles right next to the front door. Sirens can be heard in the distance while the flames rise higher and higher. Everything that happens after that is a blur. Everything except the sight of the coroner dragging two body bags out of the house on gurneys. I was only twelve years old and I saw my parents die before my eyes. It was in that moment that I realized just how much my role of an older brother was going to change forever.

I feel tears stinging my eyes as the memory floods back into my mind. I finish my cigarette and march back inside for a beer.

Sebastian's POV

As the guys and I make our way to the merch table after our set, I keep noticing that Emerson isn't smiling as big as he usually does. I also notice that Remington has a shirt on. I may not always act like the older brother I am, but I know when my baby brothers have something on their minds. I decide to keep my worries to myself until we're about to head back to the tour bus.

Throughout our merch signing, I notice that both Emerson and Remington keep looking at Pop the Clutch's merch table every time a fan heads to their merch table. I know Emerson thinks Ronnie is cute, but it's hard to tell what Remington is thinking sometimes. He has a tendency to hide behind The Office quotes and Nutella.

*time skip to later that night*

After helping Pop the Clutch load their van, the guys and I walk back to our bus. I corner my brothers into the tiny kitchenette before speaking in the over-protective big brother tone.

"Emerson, Remington," I begin, "you two need to start behaving. I saw how Pop the Clutch reacted when we showed up at their merch table. And leave that poor girl alone. She already has enough on her plate." I cross my arms in front of my chest and wait for a reply from each of my brothers.

"I just figured," Remington slowly states, "that they would get more fans to buy their merch if we were there. I just wanted to help them."

"Plus you think Ronnie's cute," I hear Emerson quietly whisper under his breath. Remington starts to get defensive and the two idiots begin to have their fight club. With a sigh, I walk to the freezer and pull out the bottle of gin. Tour has only just begun and already my brothers are giving me a headache. At least I have Daniel and Luis to talk with.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter. School is starting to kick my ass. I promise that the next chapter will be longer. Other than the short chapter, how did you guys like the little twist I added in there? As always, feedback is appreciated.
