finding home

chapter 9

Aline woke up a couple hours outside of LA. It was chilly do to the ac causing her to shiver. The movement getting izzys attention. "Morning my muse"
"Morning iz." She mumbled sliding across the bench seat so she was pressed up against his side trying to steal some of his heat with out inabling him from driving. She shivered agian as the vent blew the cold air derictly onto her skin. Izzy turned off the ac and reached back grabbing his jacket draping it over her like a blanket. "Where are we?" She mumbled glancing around.
"Just outside of LA" izzy said pointing to the buildings on the horizon. The sun was starting to set and the view was gourgeous. Dessert meeting quickly darkening blue sky's all around them then the city infront of them. "We are still a couple hours out from the rainbow. I stopped a couple miles back and called ax to meet us there."
From the letters aline knew the rainbow as the boys favorite drinking spot. "We are going to the rainbow tonight?"
"Of course got to celebrate bringing you home." Izzy said watching out of the corner of his eye as aline smiled.
The city was beautiful in its own sleazy way aline realized. It was way bigger then any place she had ever been and as izzy drove down the sunset strip she watched in fascination as the hookers walked the streets in bright colored very revealing outfits. When izzy parked a few even approached izzy who ignored them and grabbed alines hand. She seemed more shy then her usual bubbly self glancing side to side as they entered the  bar but then she perked up seeing something move. Before izzy could react his girlfriend was running through the bar and jumping into his bestfriends arms.
"Ax!" She shrieked as he spun her around before putting her down. He was standing alone by the bar.
"The fucker finally got you down here hm?" Axl teased as izzy strolled up. "How did graduation go? Get a diploma?"
"Un like you yes I did thank you very much" aline laughed as axl ruffled her hair.
"The others here ax?" Izzy asked leaning against the bar waving the bartender over.
Axl nodded pointing at a table towards the back. Aline stood on her tip toes to see. Two blondes sitting side by side. The one aline recognized as duff and she guessed the other one must be steven. Steven had a girl curled into his side and at the other side of the girl was a mop of wild dark curls. That must be slash she thought.
"Can you see short stack or should I pick you up?" Axl joked.
Aline elbowed him in the ribs "Stop it I cant help that I'm short you at least I ain't a gingerbread man"
"What is that supose to mean?" Axl challenged. But by then izzy had gotten their drinks and steered aline away from axl.
"You to haven't even been in the same room for 10 minutes don't murder each other." He stated as they weaved through the crowd.
Once they got to the table aline felt awkward and shy. Izzy held her hand stroking his thumb across her knuckles. "Hey fuckers listen up. This is aline. If you fuck with her your fucking with me. Aline this is duff, steven, stevens girls Adrianne and slash. If any of them fucks with you I'll personally beat the shit out of them. That includes Adrianne I'm not afraid to deck a chick" 
Aline nodded smiling and sliding into the booth next to duff. Izzy slide in next to her watching as the pair watched each other. Duff offered her his bottle of vodka which aline took gingerly tipping it back and taking a healthy swig. "So your the girl that has owned his heart for so long" duff commented.
"So your the man that I'm sharing his heart with" she returned handing the bottle back.
As the night progressed aline got more and more comfortable with duff and they actually started getting along. They all did.
"Wanna drink?" Duff asked before tipping the bottle over her head and fountaining it into her mouth. Giggling as he watched it trickle out of the corners of her mouth and down her chin.
"Nooo don't waste the vodka" aline shrieked as duff dived in to lick the liquor off her neck. She giggled wildly.
"Oh no" Slash laughed watching "they are the same person"

Izzys pov.
Slash ,the bastard, was right.  They were the same person. I watched as duff continued licking the liquor off her skin to both to drunk to care that he was licking whatever cleavage was available like the vodka was made of gold.  Like that sight didn't go straight to my dick. Aline looked over at me a big smile on her face before pulling away from duff and shuffling over the seat to me. She curled against my said watching with wide eyes as duff and steven started rough housing in the booth shoving each other around. "Hi" she chirped looking up at me with her big blue eyes.
"Hi my pretty muse" I chuckle as she yawned.
"I'm tired iz" she whispered laying her head against my shoulder.
"Wanna go home?"
She nodded slowly.
"Okay let's get you home" I slide out of the booth grabbing her hand. All eyes were on us curious. "We are going to head out" I state as she tucks herself under my arm.
"Alright. See you in the morning" duff waved ovibously wasted. If we weren't in public I would kiss him.

Authors note: I decided to play around with point of view. Hope you all enjoy!
