marcus had been more agitated and depressed since autumn got back with eli. he wasn't surprised, it made sense someone like autumn would be with eli instead of him. eli had his life together and marcus clearly didn't. they tried to stay friends but it was hard for marcus to see her or talk to her and know she wasn't his anymore. he froze when he got off his motorcycle and saw her leaving and he nearly lost himself when she spoke. "ah, i thought i saw him leaving while i was coming home..." marcus was having a hard time looking at her and he was trying his best to avoid eye contact. "so um...you doing good? i mean i figured with him you're probably doing okay." he knew she was having a hard time after being raped and he hated thinking about it.

[finestmoment]

"i guess i'm okay…" autumn didn't mean to lie to marcus, but she also didn't want to feel anything right now. she'd been telling everyone the story over and over and it was still eating away at her. it's like nothing could help, even when eli poured hours into autumn, she was stuck in that horrible moment with the boys who were torturing her. "I've been sleeping with elena and my mom every night… and both of my dads… they're just messes. they're scared we're going to get hurt again." autumn blurted out, she always had a way of telling marcus everything on her mind. "and don't get me started on my brothers. they're ready to kill anyone at this point."

[sedativeunderskins]

marcus could tell she wasn't really okay but he knew there wasn't really much else to say. it broke his heart to hear how she couldn't sleep alone now but he was thankful at least eli could be there for her even if he couldn't. it didn't surprise him that her brothers were out for blood because he was too and so was eli. their own family was hurt by them too along with autumn. "i know how they feel…you won't get hurt again, everyone and their mother is looking for them…all of us. they hurt too many people i care about, i'm ready to kill all of them and i know eli is too." marcus sighed and finally looked at autumn. "you don't have to go if you don't want to…"

"well i mean yeah its a little sus don't you think?" sawyer looked to his brother for confirmation. "i mean maybe...it could be but it also could be genuine." noah could see dove starting to get upset. "no don't...don't turn it down. and if you take anyone you should take sawyer." sawyer looked to his brother in shock, one for suggest dove goes through with it and for suggesting she take sawyer. "no, i mean we're a band, we're together in this its all of us or none of us." sawyer was getting frustrated as well and noah knew he was once again going to have to try and diffuse it. "what? you think i want to do this without you? why so you can replace me with bryce? your new perfect brother?" sawyer looked to noah, as much as they fought lately he still didn't want to do this without noah. "sawyer..." noah sighed, bryce was still a soft spot for him. "man whatever." sawyer got up and left the room with the rest of the band leaving dove alone with noah. "do you want to accept it?" he turned to dove, a genuine look in his eyes, he loved her and he would never want her to turn away from her dreams.

[finestmoment]

"obviously i don't want to leave the band, but… it's been weird for weeks anyway. sawyer isn't making any of this easy…" dove couldn't stand watching sawyer living a life without her, but every time they were together, he was mad and it was draining her. "what if we left… you and me? would that be bad?" dove asked noah. "i don't give a fuck about the money, noah… but the exposure… we would be famous overnight. wouldn't that be kind of cool? that'd be everything we ever wanted..." dove was starting to like the sound of it more and more.

[sedativeunderskins]

noah knew sawyer was making things more difficult, he had become bitter and closed off ever since dove broke things off with him and confessed she also loved noah. noah was hurt but he handled it much more calmly than sawyer. noah smiled slightly when dove suggest they left together, it was tempting and he wanted to. "as nice as it would be…maybe it would be bad i don't know. its hard to leave sawyer even if he's being…the way he is right now. it would be cool though…i wish it was that easy." noah sighed and moved over to sit closer to dove, he took her hand in his. "you know i'm going to support you, whatever you decide…sawyer…he will too he just might be mad about it. but if you take him with you that's okay. it would…hurt but i-i love you and just want you to be happy. i want you both to be happy." it hurt noah, the thought of dove and sawyer leaving him but he would do it if it meant dove was happy.

[sedativeunderskins]

sawyer was hesitant about letting dove alone with the producer but noah told him not to make a scene and that she could handle herself. the brothers were still slightly at odds with one another but they pushed it all down in favor of dove and the band itself. they were packing everything up when dove came back and after they heard what they said they both looked at one another. "wait so he wants only you? not the rest of us? that's not right." sawyer was already getting worked up and noah could sense it. "alright, relax." noah turned back to dove and sighed. "did he say why just you?" sawyer scoffed and shook his head. "you know why, he probably wants you for more than just your music. i mean not saying you don't deserve it because you're obviously insanely talented but its just weird." noah closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "sawyer...can you let her talk?" sawyer stayed silent and met dove's eyes.

[finestmoment]

dove felt agitated when sawyer implied that the producer wanted her for something else. "really? so you think he wants to have sex with me?" dove rolled her eyes dramatically, but she was pissed and wanted sawyer to know it. "well he said he already has a signed band and they need a lead singer. but i convinced him to bring one of you guys on too." dove looked between everyone. "i can still turn it down. it's not like i signed a contract or something. but i can tell some of you guys are pissed... so thanks for making me feel like shit about it." dove was feeling unsure and she looked towards noah, almost wanting him to make the decision for her.

"well i mean yeah its a little sus don't you think?" sawyer looked to his brother for confirmation. "i mean maybe...it could be but it also could be genuine." noah could see dove starting to get upset. "no don't...don't turn it down. and if you take anyone you should take sawyer." sawyer looked to his brother in shock, one for suggest dove goes through with it and for suggesting she take sawyer.
