Anything For Her|Gxg

Two weeks later...

It’s been two weeks since anyone last saw Axel. She’s been holed up in her music room, only coming out for basic hygiene. The band members are getting concerned—Luca is unsure of what to do, and Mino says to give her space, but Rae knows better. After all, Axel’s her best friend.

Rae barges into the room, finding Axel slumped in her chair, still staring at the same spot on the wall.

“Hey, get up,” Rae commands, no room for negotiation.

“Ugh…” Axel groans, barely lifting her head.

Rae narrows her eyes, daring Axel to resist. “Don’t even think about it.”

Axel sighs and reluctantly drags herself up. Her hair is a tangled mess, her clothes hanging off her like she’s just rolled out of bed after days of ignoring the world.

Rae doesn’t waste any time. As soon as Axel steps out, she points toward the bathroom. “Shower. Now.”

Axel raises an eyebrow, trying to play it off. “Are you saying I stink or something?”

Rae crosses her arms, unphased. “Well, you don’t exactly smell like rainbows and flowers.”

Axel just sighs and heads to the shower, already knowing there’s no point in arguing.

A few hours later...

Axel emerges from the shower to find Rae has laid out some clothes for her. She quickly dresses and adds a few pieces of silver jewelry before grabbing her wallet, keys, and phone.

“Where are we going?” Axel asks, finally giving in, but still unsure what Rae has planned.

“The club,” Rae answers with a smirk.

Axel frowns. “The club? What’s that going to do for me?”

“You need to get out of the house,” Rae says, her tone playful. “And where better than a club?”

“Rae, clubs aren’t really my thing.”

“Oh, please,” Rae rolls her eyes. “Stop acting like a bitch and thug it out.”

Axel sighs but doesn’t protest further. She knows this is something Rae’s not going to let her get out of.

At the Club...

They finally arrive at the club after showing their IDs to the bouncer, a guy Rae knows personally. Axel heads straight for the bar, knowing she’ll need alcohol to survive this night.

Rae follows close behind, buying them both drinks. Axel’s already lost in her own world when she notices Rae with a pretty blonde, clearly flirting.

Axel shakes her head. “That’s not Rae’s type. What’s going on here?”

Sitting at the bar, she’s interrupted by a woman who slides up next to her. “Gin and tonic, huh?” The woman grins.

Axel looks at her, her grip tightening around her drink. She forces herself to relax. “Yeah, what about it?”

“I was actually enjoying how your arms flexed when you picked it up,” the woman adds, smirking.

Axel raises an eyebrow, confused by the forwardness. “Why are you approaching me?”

The woman grins wider. “You’re pretty handsome, just my type. Figured I’d see if I could get your number.”

Axel smirks, intrigued despite herself. “I don’t give my number out that easily.”
