Sienna
-------
"Dearest enemy, you should, listen to the streets, because they tell you all you need to know-" Josh sang, his shoulders rolling slightly as he crouched down to point at the crowd and stomp his foot in time with the beat.
Sienna stood in the photographer's pit with Tom, wanting to get photos of the moment when the girls surprised the boys onstage. Sienna only knew of this happening because a woman named Ivy, from twitter, wrote to her about their plans. She also learned that Ivy was dating Max.
"This love is dirtier than you think, don't believe your eyes, believe your ears; trust me, this'll sink lower than you-Ty!" Josh squealed as a tall tattooed woman grabbed him around the waist and tackled him to the ground. Sienna got shots of the whole action. Josh was lying on the ground, Ty on top of him, kissing his mouth. Josh's hands were rested on Ty's hips, his fingertips pressing into her thighs gently.
The music halted as Dan was grabbed from behind, lips pressing to his neck, Matt's hands dropped the neck of his bass to wrap around his girlfriend's body, stooping her down for a kiss.
Chris swung his girlfriend into his arms and twirled her around. Max completely dropped his guitar and peered frantically about for Ivy, no doubt.
"Hedgehog!" she squeaked, leaping over Josh and Ty to jump at Max. Max grinned widely and peppered kisses all down her face as she giggled, wrapped around him like a koala bear.
Sienna watched and took pictures, a smile on her face.
"Well, isn't this a beautiful surprise!" Josh's voice rang out through the venue speakers. "I thought you weren't coming in until late tonight!"
"Well, Joshua," chuckled the girl who was still bundled up in Dan's embrace, speaking into a drum mic, "we got an earlier flight and traveled together."
"Smart-smart." Max mused through his mic.
"Finish your goddamned song!" Ty demanded and the crowd cheered. Josh chuckled, standing and holding Ty to his side with one arm wrapped firmly around her waist.
"We'll just start another one. How about a love song-"
"You mean a sappy song about falling out of love." interrupted the girl who was hanging off Matt's side. "Love ya, Franceschi."
Josh stuck out his tongue. "Whatever, Larkie. Love ya too. Aye-how do you all feel about the song Fireworks?"
Sienna felt her heart leap to her throat. She loved that song. She wasn't going to be the one to freak out about it though. She knew YMAS already knew Sienna loved their music. Josh smirked down at her in the photographer's pit anyway, just knowing she would have loved it. She gave him a lopsided grin and Josh winked.
"Birdy likes that idea, so it's good 'nuff for me. Christ, Leigh, you're gonna have to let Chewy go to start the song." Josh pointed at the couple and Leigh made a face at Josh and pressed her lips to Chris' in response.
"We'll just sit over here." Ivy gestured to the set of amps upstage on the left. The girls migrated to the spot and Josh sighed, his hand over his heart.
"I miss you already, Tyra."
"Shut up and sing." Ty scolded. Josh acted wounded, but the guitars drowned out his false whimpers.
"So this is the end of you and me, we had a good run, and I'm setting you free, to do as you want to do as you please, without me." Josh acted like he was singing it to Ty, which caused laughter to sound from the crowd. He then turned to the audience and sang as if nothing had happened. The boys were very good at pretending. "Remember when you were my boat, and I was your sea? Together we'd float so delicately. But that was back when we could talk about anything." Sienna snapped more pictures of the girls before Tom nudged her.
"Go up 'n sit with the girls. Good shots from there from both you and me." Tom jerked his head in the general direction of where the girls were sitting. "And you'll be closer to Franceschi-" He wriggled his eyebrows at his own joke, and Sienna only scoffed.
"I'm not that obsessed." she argued, but hastily attempted to climb up the stage with Tom's help.
Max, who wasn't playing at the moment, leaned down and gripped her by the arms and pulled her up with little to no effort and Sienna grinned at him in thanks and skittered to where the girls sat.
"Cause I don't know who I am, when you're running circles in my head. And I don't know just who you are when you're sleeping in someone else's bed." Josh sang quietly, his eyes closed. "Three whole words and eight letters late, and that would have worked on me yesterday. We're not the same, I wish that could change, but it can't-"
Sienna felt her brow furrow as she counted on her fingers for what the words Josh was referencing to could have been.
"The words are: I Love You." A woman-Dan's girlfriend-explained in her ear. "I'm Melissa."
Sienna grinned and introduced herself and mentally counted the letters. Eight letters. Crafty.
"And I'll say your name and in the same breath, I'll say something that I'll grow to regret. So keep your hands on your chest and sing with me, that we don't wanna believe." Josh held his mic out for the audience to sing. The girls around Sienna murmured the lyrics too, some were humming, but the chorus was lit up by the voices of everyone surrounding them. There were also a shit load of lighters, both real and digital in the crowd. Sienna flipped her camera to video and started recording, aiming the lens at everything around her.
"Cause I don't know who I am, when you're running circles in my head. And I don't know just who you are when you're sleeping in someone else's bed."
Josh took a deep breath and ran his fingers though his hair looking so damned emotional-Sienna knew Tom was getting good pictures. Dan was watching cautiously at Josh looking for his cues. Max and Chris were playing quietly, matching the mood of bittersweet sorrow. Matt had his head bowed and he wiped sweat from his forehead.
"So it's true what they say, if you love someone, you should set them free. Of it's true what they say when you throw it all away..." Josh drew a shaky breath and bit his lip, his head tossed back. "I don't know who you are...I don't know who you are...Oh, cause I don't know who you are when you sleep with somebody else, cause I don't know who I am, when you're sleeping with him." Josh opened his eyes and blinked carefully as the music got more and more quiet. "It's true what they say, when you throw it all away..."
The crowd screamed, their hands clapping together so loudly. Sienna grinned as the five men stood up; Dan hopped off his drummer's stand to place himself alongside his bandmates. Together they all took their bows.
"Thank you all!" Josh shouted into the mic. "Of Mice is on soon-so hold onto your fucking panties. Stay fucking crazy!"
The fans screamed louder, if that was even possible, and the lights dimmed. The girls grabbed their designated guys and they all exited the stage, letting the stage crew move things around and fix up the drum kit to fit Tino's needs. Sienna followed them all the way to the green room where the YMAS boys retreated. This venue had one gigantic green room that they all shared. Sienna was surprised to see that the number of people had doubled with a female population. Sitting beside Alan with her head on his shoulder, was a thin girl with her hand intertwined with his. On Aaron's lap was a woman with brown hair and dirty blond streaks. Kissing Tino's cheek was a girl with brown long hair, her hair looking similar to the woman with Aaron. Phil was playing a finger game with a woman with long dark hair.
Oli's arm was wrapped around a skinny girl who was literally drenched in tattoos. Her hair was a dark black and it was cut at her shoulders. Matt Nicholls' legs were sprawled out across the lap of a tall, thin lady whose eyes were a slight gray and purple color. Vegan was shoulder to shoulder with another girl with black hair and blond tips. She was nestled into his shoulder and his head was leaning against hers, their fingers barely touching. A woman with brown long hair was biting her lip as Lee traced her arm with his fingers, murmuring something about it being new. She was quietly explaining something to Lee. Jordan was sitting on the floor in between the legs of a tall blond woman. She was sitting on the couch and was gently rubbing Jordan's shoulders, giving him a massage. Sienna noticed that the woman didn't seem to find it at all. And her father...
Austin was sitting next to Alexis-well-more like sitting on top of Alexis-and was happily teasing her around something. Alexis was trying to push Austin off of her, laughing loudly, but Austin didn't budge. Sienna made a face.
"Sienna!" squealed Alan. "Yay! You're here! I wanna introduce you to my gi-"
"Ten minutes, Of Mice." warned a stage man, poking his head in, and then retreated away. Alan pouted.
"Well, that was rude." he said sarcastically. "As I was saying; this is my girlfriend, Maddie." The girl who was leaning on Alan brightened and stood up.
"Hi, Sienna! So nice to meet you! Alan's told me so much about you!" she said enthused. Sienna couldn't help but flinch away when Maddie pulled her into a bear hug. Sienna was embarrassed because of her reaction, but Maddie pretended nothing happened.
"Nice to meet you too." Sienna croaked, suddenly realizing how dry her throat was. Maddie pulled back and squeezed her shoulder winking.
"Al," Aaron chuckled, "since you were so quick to introduce Maddie, why don't you introduce everyone?"
Alan glared at Aaron-all in good fun-and sighed through his nose. "Fine, fine. Dick." Alan smiled at Sienna and used his finger to point people out. "Sienna, there next to Nicholls is Olivia. That's Aaron's wife, Amanda...that's Phil's wife, Noux. Jen is Tino's bæ. Vegan's girlfriend is Mia, and uh-ooh! Brittany is the one who's whispering to Lee." Brittany glanced up at her name and stared at Alan for a second, confused, but in the end, bowed her head again to continue her hushed conversation with Lee. Sienna knew she would probably get along nicely with quiet Brittany-seeing how she got along quite dandily with Lee. "Oli and Hannah-those two are practically made for each other. Hannah's a tattoo artist! The one giving Jordan the shoulder rub is Emma. They're married." Alan sighed heavily. "And I'm sure you know YMAS' ladies."
"Not all of us, but I'll take it from here." giggled the voice from behind Sienna, making her jump. "I'm Ivy. We talked on twitter." Ivy had long black hair with red streaks in it. She was short and healthy. She had broad shoulders. Very short. Sienna had to refrain from smirking as she looked down at the woman. "I'm Max's girlfriend. That's Ty, she's Josh's girlfriend. Lark-or Larken-is with Matt Barnes. Chris' lady is Leigthy Ann. She has a cool fuckin' name. And last, but certainly not least, that is Melissa. She's with Dan."
Sienna mumbled a 'Hello' and the gesture was returned-a lot more enthusiastically on their end. Sienna skittered to the side, a little overwhelmed from all of the new strangers. Austin's eyes connected with hers and he cocked an eyebrow.
"Are you gonna watch the show?" Austin asked. Sienna could tell he was hoping she would. Maybe she should. He'd be happier that way. It would make things a hell of a lot easier.
"Uh-" Sienna coughed. "I-"
"Of Mice, five minutes." The stage tech popped his head in again and then left again. Alan's face scrunched up.
"C'mon, Birdy. It'll be fun."
Sienna glanced at the women, hoping that they wouldn't all be with her too. That would be way too uncomfortable.
"We have to settle in." Emma explained, watching Sienna's eyes widen a little. "So, we'll miss most of their set. A lot of us are tired. We might sleep a little. 'Cept for Larken. She's immune to the night."
Larken laughed. "It's a skill I inherited from Barney." Matt shuddered his nickname which caused laughter to sound around the green room.
"I don't." Hannah explained. "Have to settle, I mean. I already put my stuff on the bus. Oli wanted to-"
"Shh." Oli interrupted, making Hannah roll her eyes. "Well, that's not exactly allowed on the bus, love. If you want to tell them what we were up to, I don't know how much trouble we would get into."
"What?!" Alan shouted, causing everyone to jump. "You said no sex on the bus!" he jabbed his finger accusingly at Austin. Austin's eyes widened and his eyebrows arched.
"I-uh-I was going from what Chuck said!" Austin argued, blaming it on the tour manager. Sienna felt her cheeks heat up with embarrassment. Oli chuckled and wrinkled his nose.
"Rules were made for bending, mate."
-.-.-.-.-.-
"That's a wonderful tattoo." Hannah pointed to Sienna's wrist. They had to lean in to hear each other properly, seeing how Austin was head banging along to the insanely loud music. Sienna held her wrist up, and Hannah smiled. "D'mind if I take a closer look?"
Sienna shook her head and Hannah pulled Si's hand into hers and turned the wrist up as Hannah inspected it, a grin on her lips. "This is great. How did you ever convince your father to let you get one?"
"I uh, I didn't." Sienna blushed. "Oli convinced me to do it without telling Austin."
"Why do you call him by his name? Not 'Dad'?" Hannah asked innocently. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
Sienna felt her heart drop to her stomach. "I uh-I don't know why..." She trailed off and bit her lip. I don't trust him enough, she replied in her mind, but she didn't say that. She only looked to the side, avoiding Hannah's saddened looks. They were sitting on the large catwalk over the stage with their feet hanging off the edges, swinging occasionally, and sometimes spitting at her father and his bandmates for fun while they were performing. The other girls were still at the bus, but they were coming back soon. Hannah dropped her hand and sighed loudly.
"I'm sorry I brought it up. Are you thinking about getting more tattoos?" Hannah was good at changing the subject. Sienna bit her lip and nodded slowly. "What were you thinking of?"
"Erm, a flower." Sienna said honestly. "I kind of wanted my mom's favorite flower on me. Something to remind me of her. Well, it's not like I'll forget her." Hannah smiled faintly.
"Just a flower?"
"Well, it's not like...a realistic flower-well-you know the flower on Oli's throat?" Hannah nodded along with her. "Like...a smaller version of that. Except a different flower."
Hannah's smiled widened. "And you think Austin will let you do it?"
Sienna thought back on what happened when Austin found out about her tattoo and she shuddered. "He said he would get super pissed. And I'm already terrified of him when he's mad."
Hannah frowned and bit her lip. "Where would you get it if you got it?"
Sienna smiled faintly. "I want it on my ribcage. Like, right over my heart, but, you know...small enough to not touch my..." Sienna gave Hannah a look and Hannah chuckled.
"Of course." Hannah shook her head, snickering even louder. "We'll see, Sienna. I like your ideas, ducky."
"Oh, my nickname is Birdy." Sienna explained, blushing a little.
"Nah. Ducky is something we use in Sheffield."
"You're from Sheffield?" Sienna asked, mentally slapping her face. Of course she's from Sheffield. She's Oli's girlfriend, and she sounds just like Oli and the rest of BMTH.
"Yep."
"So, ducky, huh?"
"More of a pet name, love." Hannah winked. Sienna sighed and peered down at her father who was looking up at her, his shoulders slack and his hair covered in sweat. He waved and smiled widely, sticking out his tongue. Sienna and Hannah waved back at Austin. Sienna liked Hannah already.

"A night to remember, a day to forget, don't stop 'til we pirouette, I'm no saint, you're no martyr, one more night playing heart piñata, how do you say 'goodbye'." Oli screamed, gripping Josh by the collar and bringing him under his arm.
"How do you say 'goodbye' when you've hardly said 'hello'?" Josh sang, his grin clear on his face. Austin watched from the photographer's pit with Tom and Alexis. The two photographers were taking many pictures to support 'Fransykes'. "How do you say 'goodbye' when you've hardly said 'hello'?"
Josh and Oli both let their voices turn gritty towards the end of the chorus.
Austin watched with admiration as Alex peered through her lens loving every second of her photography. Austin knew it was a passion of hers. He was also so goddamned grateful that he and Alex were on speaking terms, but something told him that she was never upset in the first place.
"We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen, so come a little closer, tell me it's all in our heads. We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen, so come a little closer, tell me it's all in our heads." Josh sang quietly. "We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen, so come a little closer, tell me it's all in our heads. We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen, so come a little closer, tell me it's all in our heads."
He and Oli slammed their feet down at the same moment, singing the song, throwing their arms out and grinning wildly. Well, Oli was grinning. Josh's face was screwed up with concentration as he sang. "We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen, so come a little closer, tell me it's all in our heads! We're young and in love, heart attacks waiting to happen, so come a little closer, tell me it's all in our heads!" Josh let a breath out and the music stopped and the fans started cheering.
"Give it up for Josh!" Oli shouted, hugging Josh tightly and kissing his cheek before Josh went stumbling offstage. Alex tugged Austin along.
"C'mon. Let's go! I wanna go get to know the girls a little more." Alex smiled. Austin laughed at her enthusiasm and followed her guidance, walking around to walk backstage.
Austin let Alex lead him to the green room and finally let her drop his hand.
Mia was laughing about something that Melissa had said. Alan and Maddie were off doing-something-Austin was pretty sure he knew what they were doing, but he didn't want to know. He really did not want to know.
He had heard that Leighty, Jen, Ty, and Amanda were sleeping on the bus. Apparently, it was a tough traveling day. Sienna was also on the bus, probably talking to Noah. It must be tough for her, Austin decided. Her boyfriend was away from her while all the others' girlfriends were with them. She must feel pretty lonely. Austin's attention was drawn back to the real world when someone nudged him.
"Hey." whispered the girl. Austin recognized her as Brittany, Lee's girlfriend.
"Hey," Austin replied, "why aren't you out there watching the show?"
Brittany shrugged her shoulders, her brown hair shifting a little. She sighed impatiently and shoved her hair into a makeshift bun before turning her full attention to Austin again. "There's too many people calling some of the girls slags." Austin frowned and started to apologize, feeling sorry for the girl, but Brittany shook her head, smirking. "S'fine. They don't know who we are. Liv had an awesome plan to keep us hidden from everyone else. We're wearing band merchandise and VIP passes to make us look like lucky fangirls." Brittany used her hands to gesture down at her choice of clothing.
Now he understood why she was wearing a shirt with Oliver's face and body on it. He figured that was why Ivy was wearing a tank top with Austin's body shot on it. But-then again-that was Ivy, and she was just about as crazy and wild as Max. Maybe even crazier.
"Well, still." Austin grumped. "That still super sucks. I'm sorry they're being bitches."
"Eh." Brittany shrugged again. "It's better than them recognizing me. Trust me. I know that much." Austin nodded along with the girl, feeling a little guilty. Maybe that's how Sienna felt...always being investigated, always being judged-he hated that she had to go through tha-
His thoughts were interrupted by Sienna walking into the room, her face flushed a bright red. She blinked at him, gripping her phone tightly. Austin could see the cut on her wrist stretch and flare when she clenched her hand tighter around the cellular device.
"...Si? What's wrong, sweetie?" Austin breathed nervously.
Sienna's hands shook and her voice was shaky as she answered him. She sounded so frail and tired. Austin had to keep a close eye on her tonight to make sure she didn't hurt herself.
"What, honey? I didn't hear you." Austin said, stepping closer so he could hear his daughter better. Sienna cleared her throat and threw her arms around his neck, basically tossing herself into his arms, shoving her face into his neck while going up on her tiptoes to reach him better.
"I-it's Noah." She sobbed. "R-Ryan..."
