It was around midnight. Awsten had just woken up and he found himself in a chair; arms tied behind his back and feet tied to the legs of the chair. He was very confused about where he was and what was going on. A sudden sharp pain washed over him, almost like a needle in the back of his brain.

He looked around frantically, and he began to notice the photographs that were scattered all around the room, that seemed to look like a basement. Geoff's basement. "What the fuck..." Awsten spoke out to himself. The photographs were from their Crave music video. The more he looked around the room, the more confused he was.

From the corner of his eye, Awsten noticed a figure step out from the the darker part of the room. The figure was about 6'0, so, taller than Awsten. "Hey, buddy," the figure said as it made its way into Awsten's sight. Geoff. It was Geoff.

"Dude, what the fuck? What is going on?" Awsten said. At first, he thought it was some kind of prank. He began tugging at the ropes used to restrain him. If it was a prank, he sure as hell was not laughing. "This isn't funny. Untie me." He shot Geoff a glare.

Geoff laughed, almost sinister like. "Yeah, I'll think about it. Just not now. Anyway, do you like my set up?" Geoff asked as he held out his hand, gesturing towards the Crave display in front of Awsten.

"Dude, what the fUCK?" Awsten was beyond irritated at this point. He wasn't getting any answers. If looks could kill, the one he was giving to Geoff would have the brunette out by now. "I am absolutely going to lose my shit if you do not untie me."

The brunette shrugged his shoulders and walked behind his pastel haired friend. Placing his hands on Awsten's shoulder's he leaned down and mumbled, pulling a remote out from his pocket and he pointed it at the screen that was hanging from the wall in front of Awsten. "Just watch. It'll be fine."

The screen flashed on. A handful of tweets, YouTube comments, Instagram comments, and so much more began flooding the screen. The hot topic within all of those tweets was none other than the song Crave.

"For the past couple weeks, I felt kinda great..."

Awsten heard the song softly playing from the video. He craned his neck to look up at his friend with an unhinged look. "Geoff..? What are you doing?" Geoff took Awsten's head into his hands, forcefully repositioning it to make Awsten watch the screen. "You see that? Do you see just how many people enjoy that song?"

Was that what this was all about? Just because a stupid song was taken off the setlist? Awsten was more annoyed than anything at this point. In his famous mocking tone, he let out a sarcastic "haha" and responded. "Is this your way of telling me you want Crave back on the setlist? If so, you didn't have to be this fucking weird about it."

He exhaled, allowing his head to lean back as the video finished. He twiddled his thumbs behind the chair, just trying to pass the time until Geoff's little scare tactic was over. Looking up at his friend once more, Awsten broke the short silence.

"You know, you can't keep me here forever. We got a show to play tomorrow. And you being stupid isn't accomplishing anything."

Geoff laughed at his friend's words, and he knew his next choice of words were going to piss Awsten off. "Oh, yes I'm aware. But hey, speaking of that term. Wouldn't you agree our fans are quite...stupid for you?"

Awsten cringed at the the terrible joke. "Yes, Geoff. I know. They do some wild shit. Eating paper, sleeping on the sidewalks, flushing money," he rolled his eyes as he continued. "What is your point?"

Geoff walked around the chair so he was now standing in front of Awsten, his arms folding over his chest as he raised his shoulders into a shrug. "You never seem to follow the rules, or you find a way around them. So with that, and after seeing the video, plus adding onto how dedicated our fans are, don't you think it's time to give back?"
