Reckless and Relentless- An Asking Alexandria Fanfic

Chapter Four

***Danny's POV***

  I took the bottle from her and took a sip. I was impressed by how quckly she was able to drink her half of the bottle. Normally, the guys and I are the only ones that can do that. I knew I would need to drink with her sometime. "Sorry bout our collision, by the way." I apologized. "I didn't catch your name." She blushed. "Oh no, it was my fault, I should've looked where I was going... I'm Charlotte."

***Charlotte's POV***

  I couldn't believe Danny fucking Worsnop wanted to know my name. He doesn't give a shit what a girl's name is. "You're gonna die as soon as we leave here, aren't you?" Chloe asked me.

  "I have no idea. I mean, we're all dying right now, just slowly." I answered her, ever the optimist. "Take it from someone who's almost died, that shit is no fuckin fun." Andy jabbed him in the stomacb with his finger and said, "Yeah but that wouldn't happen if you let go of snow and the bottle!" Danny jabbed him back and told him he could let go whenever he wanted. "Oh, well in that case..." I said, reaching for the bottle of Jack that Danny had yet to finish. He pulled it away from me like a child about to have a toy taken and yelled "MY BOTTLE!!!"

  We couldn't help but laugh at him. I knew from watching countless interviews of him and the band that he was overly fond alcohol. "Man, I need a fuckin smoke. Will someone come with me?" Danny asked us. I immediately volunteered, and followed him downstairs and outside.

  He leaned against the cool wall in the shade, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. I couldn't believe I was standing here, alone, with Danny Worsnop. I had been dreaming of a moment like this for years, and it was finally happening. He lit his cigarette, took a big drag, and held it out to me. As he exhaled, he asked, "You want some?"

  "Oh, um, no thanks, I don't smoke." I declined. "Why not?" he asked me before a taking a drag, smaller than the first. "I dunno, just don't." He laughed and exhaled, then held the cigarette out to me once more. "Come on, give it a try."
