Soaring Bird

It has been a week and the bands have been on their best behavior. Nikki does not even look in the direction of Chantel or her band members. He only talks to his band members when he has too because they decided to be traitors and if it were up to him he would replace them all for even looking at L.A. Hearts.
Chantel and the guys have spent most of their time in their bus or in their dressing room, and most of the time the guys from Nikki's band hangout with them just to escape Nikki. They have all gotten close and were like a family, Nikki was the red-headed step child that nobody wants around.
Amelia has done nothing but deliver good news, and today was an interview with Alt Press. It was originally for Chantel, but the guys tagged along and ended up being partly a group interview, and the guys from Motionless in Color weer there too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-the interview-
"Hey guys Keegan here with Alt Press, and my guest, or should I say guests today are L.A. Hearts, and three members from Motionless in Color. How is everybody?"
"We are good Keegan," Chantel responds, "everyone here is like a family"
"What about Nikki?"
"Who?" Maddox asks
Everyone laughs, but his answer brings on questions they were hoping to avoid,
"So the tension from the video is still present?"
"Let me be honest," Chantel begins, "This might get me in trouble and I take responsibility for what I am about to say, but everybody that you see here has never had a problem with each other. We all get along and have a blast, staying up late together on tour, and sometimes we stay up too late to where these guys have to crash on our bus,"
Everyone laughs, even Keegan.
"But anytime Nikki is nearby you can cut feel the tension, and it's not just awkward, it's tiresome. It's as if someone placed an elephant on your shoulders and told you to carry it up Mt. Everest. He doesn't talk to his band members, he doesn't talk to us, he only talks to my aunt because she is our tour manager, and our record deal, other than that he is flirting with girls or complaining about something or someone."
"But you guys sing your song together, Angel Eyes?"
"Do not remind me, I dread that song every night, and I hate that because it was the first ever song I wrote. I can not wait until we possibly, spoiler alert, go on Warped and I sing it without him."
"Okay, let's move on. There is a lot on social media surrounding you and Rex, what is going on there?"
Everyone of the guys make kissy sounds and mock them, causing both of them to turn bright red,
"They are in looooooooooove." Zeke says
"Googly eyes all day" Charlie adds
"Oh and sharing a bus, hearing them 'you're cute' 'no you're cute' 'no you' over and over, makes it impossible to fall asleep" Maddox adds
"Okay guys, he gets it," Chantel says bright red
"Well thank you guys, but that is all we have time for. Thank you to all of you for doing this interview, and until next time I'm Keegan, bye guys."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-back on the bus after the show-
"Royal flush bitches!" Chantel shouts slamming her cards on the table
"Damn it! Again?" Charlie says
"Yea, I just put all my clothes back on!" Zeke groans
"To bad, all you pussy bitches strip!" Chantel yells
"You hiding cards babe?" Rex asks
"No, I'm just better than you guys."
"Can we play a different game?" Allen says
"Kings cup!" Frankie shouts
They have broken the no drinking room plenty of times since Frankie and Rex and twenty-one.
"Fine." Chantel says
