Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 23 - Protective Cobain

Kurt

We had one free day to practice before the festival officially began and decided to use part of the day for practice.

Sounds fun right?

Well guess who decided to tag along.

"Jeff... stop tickling me. I'm trying to get this scale right!" I heard Ashlyn giggle from meters away while Izzy tickled her.

I rolled my eyes.

For some reason, he decided to invite himself over. And I didn't see why that was necessary.

This was confidential, band time. He was cutting in.

"You look ready to kill" Krist observed, looking amused. "What do you even have against the guy? You were okay with him before Ashlyn joined the band"

"That's the thing! I don't trust him around her. He always has this burning desire written on his face whenever he looks at her. I don't know why no one else has seen it" I stated. Krist looked at me as if I was crazy.

"Right. Listen, I love you man..."

"Gay" I teased.

"...but... you do have a tendency to get jealous." Krist pointed out.

"That is soooo far from the truth" I said. I never got jealous. Yes I got protective, curious and then some but I never got jealous.

"Oh please. You were definitely jealous of River, you're jealous of Izzy now and hell... I'm sure when Dave..."

"That's enough" I silenced. "I wasn't jealous of Dave, I was just wondering why her attitude towards me changed. But that's beside the point."

"Okay Mr. Cobain, enlighten me. What is the point?"

"Listen, Slash, Steven and Duff flirt with her and I have no problem with that. Hell, it's amusing. But Izzy... nah. He's not right. You've gotta believe me"

Krist sighed as we looked over to Izzy and Ashlyn. Izzy had his arm around her as he showed her something on the guitar.

As if she didn't know that before.

Something about that guy just didn't sit right with me.

"Kurt, she's known him since she was little. She's not gonna leave you for him don't worry" Krist assured.

"I wish that was my problem" I said. "One sec" I said excusing myself. It was obvious that Krist would never understand what I was saying. Honestly, no one will. Everyone saw Izzy as this nice, chill, laid back guy who could write songs and charm the pants off anyone.

"Hi Kurt" Ashlyn greeted with her award winning smile. I smiled back, not failing to notice the coy smirk on Izzy's face as he had his arm around her.

"Hey sweetheart." I greeted, not failing to miss the sneer Izzy shot me. "We're just about done. Got anywhere in your mind for lunch?"

"Well um..."

"Actually, I want to go out to lunch with her." Izzy proclaimed.

Absolutely not.

"Yeah that sounds like a nice idea" She chimed. "It's been forever since we got to hang out"

"Yeah. Your band mates hang out with you, Axl has had his time, it's my turn. If you guys don't mind. We're going out for sushi." Izzy said.

I mind. I mind a lot. What is she doing with him?

"Hey, can I tag along?" Krist asked. "It's been a while, the thought of sushi right now just sounds so good. And besides, I've not really got to hang out with Ash in a while." He said.
