Worth Something

Eighteen

"Wakey, wakey," someone started stroking my forehead, to which I purred in response. My eyes were heavy to open, but once they'd adjusted I saw it was Danny.

"What are you doing here?" I giggled, as he tucked me into the sheets further. "Ben needed a lift," he stood up.

I forgot Ben was in this room, and I scanned around for him. He was standing on the other side of the room, sipping on a coffee.

A pounding headache came over me, I felt myself want to just curl up. "It hurts, Danny."

"It's okay sweetheart, just rest a little longer and we'll be out of here when you wake up," he began stroking my hair again. I felt like I should've done what he said, until I saw a clock on the wall.

"Oh fuck!" I screeched scurrying out of bed, shifting around trying to find my dress. Danny's eyes widened at the sight of me, I'd forgotten I wasn't wearing anything. But I played it off as if it was something I'd normally do. He sat on the corner of my bed and just watched.

While I was slipping on my dress, I saw Danny wink at Ben, who was on his phone and not paying much attention, until he saw me half naked.

"Danny," I knelt on the floor in front of him, all innocent like. "Can you zip up my dress?"

Danny smirked and exchanged glances with Ben, who looked slightly annoyed by me asking Danny. I sat in between Danny's legs and arched my back.

His hands traced my spine, and pushed my hair to one side. He chuckled to myself before zipping me up. I turned around and placed my hands either side of his legs.

"And just what seems to be so funny?" I leant towards him, making him fall back. "I just knew you and Cam fucked last night," he stroked my neck where the love bite was.

I rolled my eyes and slipped my feet into my shoes. I picked up my bag, and glared at Danny while I walked over to Ben.

I came up in Bens personal space, to stop him from looking at his phone. I didn't say anything but held strong eye contact and placed the room key in his hands. I walked towards the door.

"Well, I'll see you boys another time. I'm out," I saluted and left the room. As I was walking down the corridor I heard someone call my name. I ignored it at first, thinking it was my imagination, until the voice called a second time.

It was James, peering his head around one of the room doors. "Evie! Thank god you're here," he yanked my arm and pulled me into his room.

James was completely naked, so I slapped my hands over my eyes. "Jesus Christ man! Put some god damn clothes on," I threw him a towel.

"Now, what do you want? I have to get ready for work, I had no idea it was mid day," I rested on his bed.

"Leah stood me up," he wrapped the towel around himself, while looking for his clothes. "She did what?" I asked, folding my arms.

"I woke up this morning and she was gone. Why would she use me like that, Evie?" He started dressing himself.

"James. I'm sure she didn't use you, Leah isn't like that. I'll catch up with her after work, okay?"

"I actually thought she liked me. I'm such an idiot," he sat down next to me with his head in his hands, wearing just his jeans so far.

I placed my hand on his shoulder and hushed him. "There will be a good reason for this James, I promise."

"Oh yeah," James lifted his head up. "Cameron called me earlier, he was saying something about you. He said he wanted to thank you for last night or something."

I went bright red, noticing how James probably forgot what he saw last night. "What happened Evie? You didn't use Cam, did you?"

"No, we both know it was a one time thing. And I better be off, I have work today." I gave him a cuddle and set out of the hotel.

As I wandered back into the hall Danny and Ben must've been just leaving, but it was only Ben that I saw. He looked rather annoyed as he approached me.

He took my wrist and slammed me against a wall, out of sight. "So are you just going to fuck every band member then?" He said harshly.

"What are you talking about?" I struggled from his grip but he had me pinned.

"So first it was me, then Cam and now James. What, is Danny next? Or maybe Sam will be the next one."

"James? He's my best friend, Ben. You have no idea what you're talking about," I struggled again, but he only resisted and pinned me harder.

"When I saw you with Cameron last night, I was gutted. And to see you flirting with Danny right in front of me, made me sick," his grip loosened.

"Ben, you were a one night stand. That's all you'll ever be, so get over yourself. Just because I lost my virginity to you, does not make me yours. I never will be Ben, so just go and find some whore to fuck," I spat, walking out of his sight.
