A/N: Wow... And it's only chapter six now. It may seemed rushed, but since this is based on Guitar Hero 3, it has to correspond to the story line. But without further ado, here's the chapter!

~Chapter Six: Unexpected~

(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)

Casey Lynch in the flesh is right in front of Rose. What would she say when she found out who she is? Why is she here? What in the world is she doing in the place where her ex-boyfriend lives?

"You're Casey, right?" Rose asked the blonde. She brushed her hair out of her eyes.

"Well, well, you're smart. It seems you're filling in my spot for my old band, as well. After all, I saw the video and you were... well cute," she told the brunette with a devilish smile. What is she getting to?

"So what if I am 'cute'? I don't think that you were good enough for ditching my band just because you broke up with the lead singer. You knew that they were in doubt because of you," Rose told her. She was right; why would she do that? Publicity, so she can be better than him, or something else?

"Look, kid, I have my reasons why I left the band. So what are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking you that. Besides, we rocked the hell out of our concert earlier." It at least give Casey the fact that the others are in the restaurant, which was detailed clearly.

"It's good to know my old band mates are here in this restaurant. Where's Izzy, Pandora and..." Casey gritted her teeth for a second. "...Johnny?" Before she could answer, Rose felt a hand clamped on her shoulder. When she turned her head around, it was Johnny himself, along with Izzy and Pandora. They were shocked that she's here, but not physically.

"What are you doing here, Casey?" Pandora asked. She eyed her carefully as if she was a spy. So far besides drumming, she's a professional at knowing if people are really good or bad.

"Don't you think that it's okay for me to hang out here with my new band? Oh, and it seems you brought the wannabe Travis Barker here. My ex surely seems to want me back." The blonde's red lips curled back into an evil smile giggled with a smug afterwards. "Surely Axel Steel can beat your ass in singing—"

"Shut the hell up," Johnny said sharply. "You were the one that ruined us and left the band. When Rose came, we were saved! Surely she will have more fans than you since you kept on acting like a bitch." Casey rolled her eyes.

"Well, the kid is just a newbie. Maybe you picked her because you think she's good looking..." Glaring at the man, she said her words with slight rage. "...you pedophile." Johnny looked at Rose with a blush, as she did the same.

"I-I'm almost nineteen, woman!" Rose replied in a stuttering way, looking at the blonde. "Think before you give the wrong idea!"

"Look, Casey," Izzy said, stepping forward in front of Rose, with a serious frown. "We picked her because she has badass talent. You were my best friend, but then you ruin Johnny. So why?" The blonde sighed after hearing those words from her former friend. Breaking up with someone in the band can also mean ruining friendships.

"I just think that Johnny was a dick. What's the big deal?" Johnny gripped Rose's shoulder harder, making her squirm quietly.

"J-Johnny—"

"Why don't you go fu—"

"Johnny, enough," Pandora said. "This is all history, Casey. So how about we just forget that we saw each other just now? You know it would be good for all of us." From the noble woman, maybe it wasn't a bad idea.

"Tch... Whatever," the blonde replied walking past them, purposely bumping into Johnny. She stopped to turn her head at Rose. "If that bastard tries to violate you or something else, blame yourself for getting into his business." Just like that, she was out of their sight. The brunette looked worriedly at the Mohawk man.

Such wrath was in his veins now. When he saw the eyes of his ex, then shit would go down just like that. Without a word, they went back to their hotel, since they have to be back at California tomorrow. Pandora and Izzy went into their separate rooms, while Rose was heading to hers, but something wants her to go to Johnny and say that she feels awful for what happened. She took that chance, seeing the British lay down on his bed.

"J-Johnny?" Rose said, afraid if he might yell or have a fit. She'd never seen such agony in the man, like if he was emo or something. He hates emo, so there's no way that could be it.

"Hmm?" he mumbled, looking at her with a normal face. That was it after all what happened? It took Rose by surprise as well, which made her felt unsure if she wants to talk to him. And if she did, would he get angry automatically?

"Never mind. Just let your anger go away." She went to the door, but before she went out of his room, a hand took hold of her wrist.

"Wait," he said. "I could use someone to talk to." A smile escaped her face and sat down on the mattress beside the tall man.

(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)(~::...::~)

Talking with him for hours wasn't actually bad to Rose. He warmed up to her and unexpected, he rubbed the top of her head like in a sibling way. Her humor helped him cleared his mind, so no more Casey Lynch in his mind... for now.

"Wake up, you two!" Pandora yelled. "Our flight is in twenty minutes, so hurry up and get ready!"

"Huh?" Rose said, realizing she found herself lying on Johnny's lap. She looked at the man, who was sleeping while sitting up. It can be normal, but somehow it was funny because of his expression. Rose tried to stop the laughter, but failed, which woke up the green haired man instead.

"Did I miss a joke, Rose?" he said yawning. She shook her head laughing. She went to get her suitcase and guitar case as well. "Yeah, right," he said to himself smiling.

"You two need to get a room or something," Pandora said secretly with a smile. Izzy came in the room, making sure everyone's ready.

"Where's Rose?" he asked. Out of nowhere, she went back, but bumped into Izzy's back with her noticing.

"Oh, sorry, Izzy," she said smiling. She went to Johnny talking to him about punk bands and other stuff. "Yeah's" and "Ah's" were basically the only responses he could think of. "So are you really okay?" she asked him. "You feel better?"

"Yeah," Johnny replied, smiling at his friend warmly.

"It seems I have competition with you, huh? We don't want her to get hurt, but I'd like to see who she would go with," Izzy said quietly, smiling.

Update from April of 2014: I wanted to put more detail of the love triangle in this story, but in the past, I was obsessed with romance and thought it was too much for me, so I limited that, if it makes sense to you.
