Dani groaned. Annie had decided they were going on a road trip, all the way to Chicago. They were currently in Cleveland.
"Warped Tour's here today! Let's go!" Annie insisted as they sat in their hotel room. Dani shrugged, watching Annie search for clothes as she sat on the bed, her arms crossed across her chest. Annie quickly threwwhite skinnies, and a red All Time Low shirt at Dani.
"I am not wearing this." Dani seethed, staring at the All Time Low shirt that Annie had given her.
"Support our boys." Annie insisted, before she pulled out her own black skinny jeans, a white belt and a white All Time Low shirt. They both quickly dressed. Dani straightened her hair, while Annie threw hers up in a pony tail, with her shorter layers and side bangs out. Annie slipped on white ballet flats, Dani already had on black and white Adios. They left the hotel as Dani slipped her sunglasses on.

Dani really didn't want to watch the All Time Low set. Annie insisted through, and they pushed through the crowd, until they were near the stage. Even though she kept telling herself he was an ass, Dani didn't take her eyes off Alex. He looked different, instead of his natural hair color, his hair was now dark brown and blond. He looked more mature.
"I wrote this one for a girl, back home in Baltimore." Dani jumped, feeling Annie elbow her in the side.
"Cute. He wrote this for you" She said. Dani merely rubbed her side where she got elbowed.
Lipstick has a way of leaving more than just a mark on my sheets,
coloring my senses cherry red; at least for this week...
Kisses under starry night skies, talked about in song,
we play along, so bitter sweet by our design.
I'm sick and tired of writing songs about you,
This is it, this is the end...
Take off your makeup and put down the camera,
choke on the drama that makes me want to,
tear up the pictures, the pages you've saved,
creating a life of trends and make believe...
I've got no place in my heart for a criminal like you to dwell,
in this endeavor, make this last forever...
I'm just delirious,
You can't be serious,
You're so infamous for leaving me a mess...
Take off your makeup, put down the camera,
choke on the drama that makes me want to,
tear up the pictures and pages you've saved,
creating a life of trends and make believe...
She gets what she wants and she breaks what she gets,
get out while you can or she'll tear you to pieces /
"Are you having a good time sweetheart?"
Take off your makeup, put down the camera,
choke on the drama that makes me want to,
tear up the pictures and pages you've saved,
creating a life of trends and make believe...
Carry on home,
I'll be waiting miles and miles away,
leaving you to be forever seventeen,
cleaning up the messes that you've made.

"What a compliment." She murmured, rolling her eyes.

"Alex!" Annie screeched. Alex was sitting with their merch guy, at the merch table. It was swarmed by teenage girls. Alex was standing, trying to calm them, but they wouldn't stop their screaming, and demanding. Annie shoved through them, and ran in to Alex's arms. Dani stayed at the back of the line.
"I missed you! What are you doing in Cleveland?" She was still in Alex's arms as he asked.
"Dani and I are on our way to Chicago." Alex nodded.
"Anyway, we should, uhh. Meet up later Alex." Annie suggested, and Alex's eyes widened suddenly. She was fully ready to cheat on Jack again? Jack really didn't deserve it. He nodded, and grinned cheekily anyway. Annie leaned back to look up at him, her arms still around him.
"Where's my boy?" She asked. Alex's face fell for a moment.
"They went to eat, they're probably in the bus now." Annie took off in that direction.

"So, Gaskarth. Still fondling your best friend's girl? You must have no conscience." Alex didn't even have to look up from the merch table to see who it was.
"Dani. I told you I was done with you. I really don't want to talk." Dani stepped behind the merch table, and surprisingly wrapped her arms around his neck. Instinctively, Alex wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I want to say sorry, for being a bitch, about the baby and stuff." Dani kept her arms around Alex. He nodded, just as Dani's lips brushed Alex's, the girls in the line started groaning.
"Let's go back to the bus" Alex murmured, leading her toward the All Time Low bus. He could hear Jack's excited chatter upon opening the door.
"Alex! Annie's he-" Jack paused, seeing Alex holding Dani's hand. "Dani!" He jumped for her, almost knocking her to the ground.
"Hey Jacko." She greeted, smiling slightly. Jack was the most immature of the four boys, obviously. Dani glanced at Alex, she knew about the Annie thing too. She realized Jack hadn't figured it out, and sighed. Jack jumped down, letting Dani and Alex walk up the stairs, before following, and plopping down on Annie's lap.
"I have a fantastic idea." Jack stated, grinning like mad, everybody turned their attention to him, all looking quite worried about Jack's "fantastic idea"
"They should come with us! On tour. They could be like, our..." Jack thought for a moment. "Well, they're useless. They'll be here to make us happy" Jack quirked his eyebrow and laughed, while, both Alex and Annie's faces flushed. Obviously Dani noticed, and took Alex's hand, squeezing it.
"Good idea Jack. Uhh, you're going to be in Baltimore in five days. Can we join the tour there?" Annie asked, still eying Alex. Jack nodded excitedly
"Are you in Dani?" Dani grinned, and nodded, before turning to Alex. She tugged on his hand, pulling him in to the back lounge. She sat, and Alex followed suit. She put her hands on the back of his neck, pressing her lips against his, in a passionate kiss. Only for a moment though. She pulled back, taking her sunglasses off. Alex hated this, she always left him wanting more, and no matter how many times she hurt him, he always went back.
"I think you need to tell Jack." She stated.
"Tell Jack what?" And there in the doorway Jack and Annie stood, Annie was staring at her feet.
