A Love Like War

Chapter 1

"scarlett there are some people who are looking for you. they claim you know them." i looked up from tuning my guitar to see a security guard standing at the bottom of the stage. I looked at the guys who just looked at me and shrugged. I looked back at the guard and nodded. He turned and walked away. "hey guys" i looked to my left to see ashton and the guys coming on to the stage. We all mumbled out a hello or hey, but stayed doing what we were doing. "here they are." i nodded not looking up. "this is different". I knew that voice all too well. I could feel my throat starting to close slowly. I looked up to see Kyle, Doug, Travis, and Donavan looking back at me. I noticed quickly that Donavan was in a wheelchair. I didn't move, I just stared at them. "are you just going to stare at us?" i broke out of my trance by Donavans words. Tears formed in my eyes and i couldn't stop them from falling. Normal they would be tears of joy, but these we of nothing but depression. I closed my eyes and let my tears fall quickly down my cheeks. "awww look Don the little baby's crying" I heard and i was hoping i didn't. "don't fucking say that about her you cunt" dave barked. "why why why why why" i mumbled to myself. "WHY!!!" I screamed making everyone jump. I stood up quickly dropping my guitar on the ground. I could hear the cracking and smashing of the wood when it hit the ground. Bre looked at me in shock as I ran off the stage. I ran down the halls till I got to the dressing rooms. I flung the door open and quickly grabbed my bag. I ran out the back door of the arena and frantically looked around. Nobody was around, a loud sob fell from my lips. I sank against the wall and cried louder. "Why are they here? Why!! Things were better now. I didn't miss him anymore. I want nothing to do with him now. God why, why did he have to come here" I sobbed out quietly.
I sat against the wall for a while till I calmed down. When I did I stood up and grabbed my bag. I pulled out a pack of smokes and placed one in my mouth. I fished out a lighter and lit the end. The smoke tasted good to me. And I needed it.
When I finished, I looked around and sighed. This was my life and nothing was going to ruin it. I wasn't going to let Donavan and bre hurt me and make me weak. I walked back inside and instantly I saw Steven coming up to me. "You good now?" I nodded with a small smile. He kissed my head softly. "We're not going to let him or her do anything to you" he said and I smiled. "This is why I love you guys" I mumbled hugging him tightly. "You're our little sister, we have to protect you" I smiled at that and pulled away. He grabbed my hand and pulled me down the hall toward the stage. "Wait I need to do something" I said and he nodded giving me a knowing look. "Give me your headphones" I said and he nodded pulling a pair out of his pocket. I stopped for a moment and plugged them into my phone. I chose the song partners in crime by set it off. I listen to the beat and a small smirk spread on my face. "Bitch tries shit I got back up" I said he nodded. "Yea us" I giggled a little. "No something better" I said and let go of his hand. He looked confused until I smirked and took off running down the hall. His chuckle could be heard down the halls. The song ended and the next was why worry. I smiled realizing that I had everything that I wanted and I didn't care what he said. I had a future and I was making a name for myself. Jimi saw me coming and moved quickly as I ran and slid across the stage. I slid to a stop in front of Dave who just shook his head with a smile. "I have a cover I want to do tonight." I said and he raised an eyebrow. "What song" he asked and I grinned. "Why worry by set it off" "I love that song let's do it." Jimi said quickly. Steven walked on the stage and stood with Ashton and the guys who were all glaring at the guys and bre. "I'm in" Steven said and I looked over at Dave. He sighed and I gave him my best puppy dog face. He groaned in annoyance. "Yes fine" "yes!!" I screamed and jumped up. "You have to ask permission? God little baby still need to be told yes or no" I heard bre say and I could tell she was smirking. "Boys lets do this, but I'm singing lead this time." The guys nodded and went to where they need to be. I grabbed a guitar and walked to the mic, center stage. "Dave I want you to break your drumsticks in the end. I want you to put everything you have in this. Same for the rest. I want the two assholes over there to realize what a mistake they made coming here" I said to them all. They all nodded with a smirk. I looked down to see the 5sos guys standing on the ground with them now. I could see Ashton and Michael staring at Donavan. Doug looked up at me with a smile and I smiled back. I did the same with Kyle and Travis. "1 and 2 and 3" Dave said then started playing. We all followers suit. I sang the song with all my heart. I could see bres eyes go wide and so did Donavan's.
When we finished Kyle Doug and Travis yell and cheered. Bre and Donavan just stared at us. "Now go fuck yourself you dumb cunts" I mumbled to myself. Steven heard and laughed. I took my guitar off and places it on a stand next to me. "You think you so cool cause you can do that. Yea whatever" bre sneered from the floor. My blood boiled now. I walked to edge of the stage and looked down at her. I drop wasn't that high so I dropped to the ground right in front of her. My eyes darkened as I looked at her. "Shut the fuck up you annoying bitch. You have done nothing but cause me trouble. And look around like I said I have a fucking future! I have everything I want!!! So why don't you get the fuck out of the arena and my fucking life your a waste of my time" I snapped her eyes darkened and she gritted her teeth. "Don't talk to me that way" she said balling her fists. I looked around to see all the security guards watching us. . "Get the fuck out of my life" I screamed at them. Bre took a step back and looked around. "You're still a stupid cunt" said said laughing. "And you're an illiterate bitch who needs to get a life.... So bye!!!" I yelled in her face. She raised her fist to hit me. "You hit me I end your baby's life" I said coldly. She stopped. Everyone did and looked at me with wide eyes. "Now listen the only one who have to leave are Donavan and bre. Cause I don't want you fuckers here. You cheated on me and used me. So get the fuck out. Or I will end both of you" I barked. Bre watched me carefully then turned around and walked over to Donavan. "Let's go" she mumbled. He nodded as she walked away. He followed behind slowly. A guard showed them out quickly. "This is my life and this is our chance, I'm not going to let them ruin it....lets do this shit" I said grinning and walking back to the stage. "That's our girl!!!" Kyle, Doug, and Travis yelled.
