ON HOLD Killing you (Danny Worsnop/Austin Carlile Love Triangle)

Killing You

Jennifer was in Sam's face yelling some nonsense at her. I walked inside calmly with Riot following behind me.  

"Is there a problem here?" Jennifer, Sam, Ben, Danny, and James all turned this way.  

"This is none of your business, fag." I stopped dead in my tracks. "That's right. I know why you looked so familiar. I'd seen you around with Ellie. And now that we're best friends, she's told me everything. Like how she couldn't stand you. How she never loved you. How when she saw the look on your face, when you caught her with Dee made her smile. How much she loved breaking your pathetic little heart. I can see it now, how hurt you were and still are." She had a victorious smirk on her face. I walked up to her, visually shaking, and stopped in her face. "You can say whatever you want. Because this is going to be so much sweeter than whatever you're feeling right now." I leaning close to her ear, "Danny and I kissed before you got here last week. So you can say whatever you want to me. Just take the time to realize, that he kissed me. Oh, and I'm a fag am I? At least this fag knows a whore when she sees one." I ran my tongue up the cartilage of her ear and walked back. She looked like she was about to pass out or bust out in tears. She ran past me and out the front door. I could hear her start her car and peel out of the drive way. I looked around everyone around me with blurry eyes. I turned around and walked in the house, going towards Danny's bathroom not even meaning too. I sat in the middle of the floor, pulled my knees to my chest, put my head down and cried. I wouldn't vocally admit it, but what she said hurt. A few seconds later I heard someone knock on the door.  

"Tatt?" When I didn't answer Danny opened the door and peaked his head through. "Oh, Nicole." He pulled me in his arms and I cried on his shoulder. He didn't try to comfort me, he didn't offer any words of comfort, he just held me. When I was finished crying he pulled me back to look at me.  

"Do you want to talk about it?" 

I shook my head, "No. I don't want to bother you. I'm just gonna go." 

"Stay. Talk to me. Who is Ellie?" 

"She was my Jennifer. My everything. I met her three years ago when she came in the tattoo parlor. We hit it off. We started talking and then dating. I was getting ready to marry this girl. The day I found her, I was going to talk to her about getting her a ring. To see if she was ready. Instead I found her with our old friend Dee in bed. So I moved out and bought the studio flat I live in now and just focused on my tattooing." 

"I have a question." 

"Go for it." 

"If you're a lesbian, why did you kiss me back?" 

I snorted, "I'm not a lesbian. I'm pansexual. I see everyone on this earth as open game." 

"Oh. Sorry." 

"It's fine." 

"That means I'm open game for you." I half smiled and elbowed him. 

"There's my Tatt." He hugged me, "Don't listen to her. Okay? Jennifer learns just enough information to cut everyone. I'm always here."  

"Thank you Danny." He kissed my forehead and got up, pulling me with him. He pushed my hair out of my face and looked at me. 

"Come on. Give us a smile." I did and he looked at my hair. "That looks sexy as hell. I bet it'd look great near my balls when you're giving me a header." I busted out laughing and he smiled. "There we go. Come on. I left Cam in charge of the grill and that's never a good idea." We walked outside and Sam came up to me. 

"You okay?" 

"Yeah. Are you?" She nodded and rubbed my back. "That's twice you've taken up for my family. I think it's officially time that you become part of the family." I looked at her, confused. All of the Asking Alexandria band and girlfriends around me. "What the hell is going on here?" 

"Well. I know you barely know any of us, buuuut we want you to move to Dallas." 

"What?!?" 

"Yeah." 

"But like you said I barely even know any of you." 

"True, yet you've stuck up for Danny, treated my daughter as your own, and now just stuck up for my wife." 

"Okay. You've got me there but I can't just leave my parlor." 

"We knew you'd say that. So what if you expanded it. Leave Kings and Queens in Austin. Start another parlor here and branch it off of KAQs." 

"Okay. Here are the things that are preventing this. One, if I were to start a new parlor here I have to have two other artists in there with me. I'm not going in alone. Two, I'll have to find someone to replace me back home. Three, hope that the people working for me now don't leave if I do a new parlor. Do you see the issues here?" 

"One, I have one person who would work under you. His name's Zee and he loves your work. Two that's not going to be an issue with the amount artists in Austin. Four, if the people that work with you now are loyal the won't leave." 

"Wait. I have to find a parlor and everything."

"Already done. We found a spot in the middle of Dallas Square. Loads of business. We can go look at it tomorrow if you want."

"I suppose since the parlor is closed on Mondays."

"Perfect! Come with me, I've got clothes you can wear in the other guest room." I looked at Ben and Danny terrified. Danny just waved and Ben just laughed. I was dragged down the hall from the living room to a door on the right. Inside were three empty bags on the floor. Sam opened the closet and started tossing clothes around.

"AHA!" She pulled out a dress and I mentally groaned. It was a two part dress. The first part was the slip that goes underneath. It was white, strapless and went to my knees. The next part was a lace overlay that covered my arms to my elbows and went down about three inches below the white part. Sure it was cute, but I hate dresses.

"This will look so good on you! GO TRY IT ON!!!" She handed it to me and pushed me in the bathroom. I was pretty glad I decided to wear a strapless bra today. I put on the white part and found that it hugged all of my curves and when I put on the lace top it did the same thing. I walked outside to find Sam gone.

"Been hanging out with Juliet too damn much."

I walked outside and Danny whistled.

"God damn girl." I rolled my eyes and Sam nodded.

"Perfect."
