Flagstaff Dates (Part 1)

Emerson's POV

After the chaos that erupted in Alburquerque, we've been staying away from Pop The Clutch. Sebastian has been lecturing Remington about not picking fights with them. They leave when we get to LA and The Haunt joins us on tour.

"Hey Seb," I ask him as we arrive at the venue, "can I ask you something?"

"Sure," he replies while trying to figure out what outfit he wants to wear for the meet-and greet.

"Why do we have to stay away from Pop The Clutch? We should try to mend things with them."

"Look," Seb sighs, "they've been fighting with us since day one. Trying to mend things won't work."

"We haven't fought with Ronnie. She only slapped Rem 'cause he did something stupid."

"Wait," Seb states as he finally picks out an outfit, "do you like Ronnie? I remember how you didn't complain when she stole your Dumbo plushie the first night of tour."

My cheeks heat up and I pull my pirate hat down my face a little. I can't hide anything from Seb. I simply nod in reply and then get punched in the arm.

"What the hell," I yell rubbing my arm.

"You don't deserve her," Rem yells from next to me, "she's too precious."

"She is precious," I retaliate by punching Rem in the arm, "and you're too wild for her! She needs someone like me!"

Remington laughs at my retaliation. "You're too quiet! All you do is draw and ignore everyone around you!"

"At least I don't get us kicked out of venues!"

I see the anger flare in Remington's eyes before Seb comes in between us.

"If you're gonna fight," Seb says, "do it off the bus. We have time to kill before the show, so you need to work this out." Seb drags us off the bus and throws us into the vacant parking lot. As if one que, Rem tackles me and we begin to fight.

Ronnie's POV

I awake to the sound of yelling and screaming. I assume that Andrew and Johnny are fighting again. They both have very dominant personalities that tend to clash.

"Ronnie," I hear one of the guys whisper in my still sleepy state, "you gotta watch this."

I fully wake up and notice that the people fighting are Remington and Emerson. I open the van door and sprint to them in my four inch heels.

"She doesn't deserve you," I hear Remington yell at his brother.

"And she deserves better than you," Emerson yells back.

"Stop it," I yell as I get closer to them, "you need to stop this!"

Emerson and Remington stop dead in their tracks. Their faces turn pink and they put their fists down. I see Sebastian leaning against the bus door with his arms crossed.

"What the hell," I yell at them, "you're adults! Use your words! Fighting doesn't solve anything. Whoever you are fighting over isn't worth losing your own sibling. I know due to Andrew. He's lost all connection with his brother because all they did was fight. Now they won't even speak to each other. Don't be like them!"

I take in a deep breathe when I finish my little speech. I didn't mean to reveal something so personal about Andrew, but the guys gave me no choice.

"But she is worth it," Emerson says quietly.

"Yes she is," Remington adds, "she's so beautiful, kind, and talented." With every word he says he takes a small step towards me.
