Closure ~Asking Alexandria Love Story ~

Chapter Fourteen - Hey There Mr.Brooks

-Danny Worsnop POV-

The day was dragging like hell, I just wanted to perform and party, I had the constant thought of Ben and Shane, right there the image.

"I'm so getting myself a girl tonight" I mumbled under my breath.

I was on the stage, it was soundcheck time and we were performing Closure, it was going well.

"Danny hurry the fuck up!" James yelled behind me. Shit I was late coming in on the first verse.

"Shit sorry!" I yelled back.

We restarted. I finally got into the song and began to rehearse fluently. My head was cramped but it was okay, I kept going.

Shaney was standing in front of the stage, behind the bollards smiling at us.

"I think I might join the crowds tonight" she called.

"Fuck no!" James shrieked. "You're staying up here where we can keep an eye on you!"

I know James meant well and everything but could he get anymore patronizing?

"Fuck sake" she sighed. She walked around the unfinished bollards and climbed onto the stage.

Nobody a Don't Dance No More began to boom through the speakers. I ran over to her, whisking her across the stage with my hands and began to dance with her, I sung too, no not in the mic, I just yelled it, we both did, in fact all the guys on stage did.

I just wanted to be the reason for her smile. To see someone with such perfect features, her teeth gleaming as she'd grin at my awful dancing. Her effortless way of being beautiful.

I knew my feelings for her wouldn't grow because I knew what would happen, I'd hurt her from being the guy I am, and I'm fine with being who I am because with her being a friend it doesn't affect her, I keep my distance because fragile things like her are not meant to be broken.

I was happy with just making her smile and be happy, loving her or liking her in any other way is something I just couldn't bring myself to do, I have far too much respect for her to think of her in anyway, and that's saying something for me, Danny Whoresnop haha.

-Ben Bruce POV-

I took off my guitar and placed it on top of the amp, I was sweating. I pelled my shirt off and ran after Danny, I flicked the shirt at his face and jumped on his back.

"Smell it Danny!" I giggled shaking the sweat out of my hair. 

"Ew Ben get your dirty shirt off me you whore!" he laughed. 

I noticed Shaney backstage, she was sat on an old amp that we always brought with us, but never used. She was in her own world, I could see it. I ran over to her.

"Boo!" I yelled. She jumped a little and placed her hand on her chest.

"Shit Ben!" she gasped. "Nearly killed me!" 

"Sup? Why you on your own?"

She shrugged. "Just needed a little breather. It's all good" she nodded and then hopped off the amp. 

"I'm gonna go to the bus to get ready." 

"But Shaney there's ages away till the show?" I yelled. 

She shrugged again and carried on walking up to the emergancy exit.

3 Hours till show time, you could hear the fans outside cheering for us. Goosebumps. 

-Shaney POV-

I needed a bit of space for a few hours. I was walking back to the bus by now and I could hear the fans chanting at the venue, eager to see their idols. I opened the bus door, i was on my own.
