We kissed for a couple of seconds, before pulling away, once again sitting in silence. 

Why did he do that?

Why did I do that?

I felt bad, but I couldn't even bring myself to be mad at Slash or myself. Axl did the same thing. 

After a little bit, Slash started the car, and we went home. We didn't say anything to each other the rest of the night.

Once we got to the house, Savannah's car was gone, and Izzy sat outside with Duff and Steven.

They started ranting as we got out of the car, but I didn't hear anything they said. I walked past them, into the house, and passed out on the couch.

......

I woke up to the sun beating down on me. I squinted my eyes, trying to look around. I was still in the living room, Slash on the other couch. I threw the blanket off of me, which I assumed was Slash's, and got up. I grabbed myself a mountain dew.

"Wha-?" Slash slowly looked around, before at me, as I was sitting back down on the couch. He looked at the time, "It's six am." I nodded, turning on the tv. He stared at me, then my mountain dew.

"Want one?" I asked, before smiling. 

"It's literally six am" He took the can away, and brought me a glass of water. "I don't want tha-"

"Axl wouldn't want you drinking that." 

I quickly shut up, staring at the floor.

"The guys told me that Axl told them Savannah kissed him, and that he was trying to get her off." I swallowed, slowly looking up at Slash. "I talked to him myself, Ashlyn, he's not lying."

I looked out the window,"But what about last night."

He looked at the floor. "I-i don't know why I did that." We made eye contact, "I guess it was some sort of rebound situation." I nodded, "But what if Axl-"

"It doesn't matter, it's obvious we don't like each other like that." He stood up, "Besides, if you left Axl for me, he would kill me." I laughed a little, before standing up, hugging him.

"Thank you." I whispered. 

After a few seconds, we broke apart, and Slash went to go take a shower.

But one thing still bothered me.

What if Axl found out about last night?

......

"When are you going to talk to him?" Izzy asked. We were both sitting outside, watching cars pass by.

"I don't know." I simply said.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him, "Nothing."

"Obviously, somethings wrong." Izzy started, "You seem distracted."

I sighed, starting to shake a little. "Please, please don't tell nobody." 

"I promise." 

I took a deep, shaky breath. "Last night, when Slash and I left," I started shaking again, lowering my voice so nobody inside could hear. "Slash and I-, w-we kissed."

Izzy's eyes immediately went wide. I started tearing up. "I-i don't know why, it j-just happened." 

"Hey, you don't need to cry." He said, hugging me, "It's ok."

"I feel like a total bitch, and-"

"Don't say that." He broke away, looking at me, "Did you talk to Slash about it later?"
