Jack Daniels

That night, we went to the pub we regularly visited. Ace sat next to me, it was obvious he wanted to say something, but he just stayed quiet for the majority of the night. I wanted to see Ace like I used to, but I couldn't get that image out of my head. I barely drank, I didn't feel like it. Usually, when I'm sad, I do a lot of drinking, but it's been different recently.

To get away for a little while, I went behind the pub and lit a smoke. There was too much tension in there. I couldn't stand 2d staring daggers at Murdoc any longer. I took a week to think about what happened, it was time to talk to Ace. He tried to tell me something, but I didn't listen, maybe I should've. I felt so miserable, I didn't want to love Ace anymore, but I did, and I couldn't stop that feeling. It hurt so much, I wanted him to hold me and tell me everything going to be okay, but he couldn't anymore. 

"Hey, love." Murdoc came out with a bottle of Jack Daniels. He offered me the bottle. I took a large swig and a long drag out of my cigarette. "Needed to get out too?" I asked, he shook his head, "I came out here to check on you." I gave him back the bottle, "I just wish somebody would take me away from it all, hell, dance away if that's what it takes." He put out his hand to grab, "Well I'm taking you away," He smiled and held me close to dance with me, "I always liked you, you know," He started to blush, "How much whiskey did you have?" He chuckled, "I'm sober enough," I put my head on his shoulder, "I just need to get Ace off of my mind," I couldn't think about him without being a little sad, "Can we go home? Just you and me?" I whispered, "Of course dear,"

Murdoc's pov

While walking, I noticed she would walk a little behind, "Why don't I carry you? It must be hard to walk in those heels." She got on my back and held me tight. It was dark, but the moon and the stars were bright enough to see where I was going, I hummed the melody of 'Melancholy hill,' while we walked. "I love that song, I didn't know you could be so sweet until you wrote it," I blushed as she said that, "You flatter me, love."

Once we got home, I brought her to her room and sat her down on the bed. "Lay next to me," she patted at the side of her bed. "I'm so confused," I held her hands, they were still warm, even while we were out in the cold. "About what?" I asked her, "I love both you and Ace, but I don't want to hurt any of you," My heart skipped a beat when she said she loved me. "You love me?" She started fiddling with the cross on my neck, "Am I horrible for loving you both?" I put my hand on her face, "Only you know what you want."

Y/n's pov

"So, what do you want?" 

I thought about it, but my mind only focused on one thing.

"Ace."
