Reckless and Relentless- An Asking Alexandria Fanfic

Chapter Three

I had just body checked Danny Worsnop.

  "You okay there?" he asked me. "I uh... Um... Yeah. Yep. I'm okay. Sorry about that." He laughed, and I almost fainted at how perfect it sounded, hearing it in person. "Never seen you before, what band are you in?" "Oh, I'm not." I told him. "My friend's older brother brought us here to hang out with Andy." "Speaking of, where the fuck is my Batman?!" he asked.

  "DO I HEAR MY BOO?!" I heard Andy behind me and I was suddenly knocked aside into the doorway by the lead singer of Black Veil Brides so he could tackle-hug Danny. I took this as my cue to move on, introduce myself to Ashley, and ask about Jack.

  I walked into the next room and sure enough, there was Ashley Purdy, sitting next to a large cooler, which I assumed was full of alcohol. "RAINBOW HAIR!!!!!" he exclaimed. I couldn't help but laugh. He was just as goofy as I thought he would be. "Um hey, I'm Charlotte. Andy sent me over here, I was wondering if you had any Jack?" "Hey kiddo, I'm Ashley fucking Purdy, and I'm a purdy motherfucker." he said with a wink. Cheesy? Yep. Cute and funny? You better believe it.

  "You looking for a shot, glass, or a bottle?" he asked. "Whatever you're willing to part with, please." I answered. He walked back to the cooler, opened it, and took out a bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey. He held it out to me and said, "Here, have at it. But I can tell by looking you're not legal for it, so I have no idea where you got that, okay?"

  "You have no idea where I got what?" I said without missing a beat.

"Exactly. What was your name again hun?"

"Charlotte."

"Charlotte. I like it. See ya kiddo." He turned back to CC and Jake, and I walked out, hoping desperately that Danny was still with Andy. He was. "Jesus Charlotte! A fucking bottle?!" Chloe disapproved of me drinking an entire bottle, but still has yet to try taking one from me.

  "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?" Danny asked me. "Yeah Chloe, a bottle. I got it from Ashley. From the looks of it, it was his last one." I answered. He swore. Typical Danny. "Charlotte, you may wanna hand over that bottle." Andy advised. "Hell no. BUT." I turned to Danny. "I'll half it with you."

  He smiled and reached for the bottle. "Oh hell no, I've seen your drinking habits, I'm drinking my half, you can finish it." Skyker laughed at me. "You are the most defensive about alcohol when you've got a bottle in hand."

  I didn't respond, I was busy pounding back my half of the bottle. I finished quickly and handed the bottle off to Danny. I remembered my first time drinking it. It had burned hell, and still does, but I've grown to love it.
