Reckless and Relentless- An Asking Alexandria Fanfic

Chapter 14

  "So, what was that about you still do coke?" I asked Danny. "Babe, it's not a big deal." He didn't seem to care that I was worried. "One, I'm not your girlfriend so quit calling me babe." I snapped. "And two, that shit will. Fucking. Kill. You."

  The guys all went silent, except for Danny. "Can we go discuss this in our room? Please?" he asked. I stood, said goodnight to the others, and went across the hall to me, Danny, and Ben's room. He walked in after a few minutes and sat next to me on our bed.

  "Alright, listen. Yes, I still do coke. Yes, I know it can kill me. But what I don't think you get is how difficult it is to give up. I tried hard for awhile, but I just can't do it." "Did you get that shit you're supposed to take when you quit?" I asked. "Well, no, but-"

  "For fuck's sake Danny! Have you ever thought maybe THAT'S why you couldn't stop?" I was pretty pissed about that. "If you tried coke, Charlotte, you would understand." he said, pulling out a small baggie of cocaine.

  I reached for it, planning on flushing it away, but he pulled it away from me. "I just want you to try it." he told me. I stared at him in shock. "What the fuck? No!" I yelled, smacking him in the arm. Danny took both my wrists and pinned me to the bed on my back.

  "Whyyyyy?" I asked. "Cuz I can." he said with a smile. "You don't have to try cocaine, but I do have one question for you." "Let me guess: 'Why are you so against it?'" He laughed. "Actually..." He slid one arm underneath me, wrapping it around my waist, and put his other hand on my leg. Looking me straight in the eyes with his perfect smile, he asked, "Charlotte, will you be my girlfriend?"

  I didn't even say anything, I just kissed him. "How's that for an answer?" I giggled. "Hmm, I think you need to tell me again." he said with an even bigger smile as he moved his hand further up my leg. I kissed him again, and felt his hand slide up even higher. I inhaled sharply and he laughed.

  "Do you want to?" he asked me. I nodded and lightly nibbled on his neck.

***One hour later***

  "God you're amazing." he said, though he was somewhat out of breath. He kissed my collarbone and I smiled. "You may not believe in God, but I guess I can sure make you say his name!" I joked.

  Just then, Ben walked in, and shook his head at us, laughing. "I'm too high for this shit!" "I didn't know you guys were gonna smoke, what the hell!" Danny pouted. "I thought you snort coke, not smoke it?" I asked. Both the guys laughed, and Danny told me, "No, not cold. He means weed. Haven't you at least smoked weed?"

  I shook my head no, and Danny told Ben to get his stuff out of the drawer. Ben handed him a lighter and pipe, as well as a little bag of green stuff I assumed was weed. Danny sat up, loading the weed into his pipe, and handed it to me with the lighter.

  "Here, give it a try!" "Um..." I looked at the pipe like he was trying to give me rat poison. "No thanks." I said, and tried to give it back. "Oh come on," said Ben. "It's not like coke, it won't hurt you at all. It just relaxes you."

  "Yeah, I'm exhausted, I need no help relaxing, thanks." I said, laying back down. "Please, babe?" Danny asked. How could I resist those beautiful eyes of his? I sighed. "Hand it over."

  "Just breathe in like with a cigarette, but try to just hold the smoke in for a bit." he told me. I lit the pipe and took in a deep breath, managing to hold it for about two seconds before I started coughing my lungs out. They both laughed, so I smacked Danny in the stomach, but Ben moved away before I could smack him.

  "I think it's gonna take a few more hits to calm her ass down." Ben laughed. "Yeah, yup, definitely. If you wanna try more." Danny said. I looked at the pipe and shrugged. "Why the hell not?" I took another hit and managed to hold it for longer, and slowly exhaled. I could feel my brain going kinda fuzzy and began to relax.

  "Hey, is there anywhere around with mint and chip ice cream?" I asked. "Oh, and Lays, and Coke." I glared at Danny. "As in the soda." Both of them laughed again at me. "Whaaaaat?!" "We forgot to tell you," said Danny, "weed gives you major munchies."

  I rolled my eyes. "Whatever. Are there any places around with ice cream, chips, and soda?" "Umm... I think there's a convenience store that's like, a ten minute walk." Ben told me. I jumped up off the bed and pulled Danny to his feet. "Pleeeeeeease!"

  Danny laughed and said we could go so long as he asked the rest of the guys if they wanted anything.

***15 minutes later***

  All six of us left the hotel and started heading toward the convenience store. A lot of people gave us weird or dirty looks, which I ignored, since I was used to that from high school. One girl recognized them and ran over, practically throwing herself at them.

  "Oh my God, I love you guys so fucking much! You're so fucking hot! Can I get a picture with you guys?!" she begged. Cam shrugged. "Guys?" They all agreed and the girl shoved her phone at me. "Here, can you take it?"

  The guys all stood around her for the picture and she clung to Danny. I frowned, but took the picture. She snatched her phone back and turned to Danny. "You're like, so fuckin hot. Wanna hook up?" She asked him.

  I stepped in between them. "Excuse you, I think it's time for you to go." She gave me a sassy look and said, "What are you, his mom?" "No," said Danny, putting his arm around me, "she's my girlfriend. Let's go guys."

  I smirked at the girl and started to walk away when she said, "Excuse me, bitch." I turned right around, looked her dead in the eye, and told her, "Glad you realize you're a bitch, but there's no excuse for you."

  "Babe, we should go." Danny pulled on my hand, and the girl said, "Yeah, whore. You should." I was able to walk away, but only after punching her in the face, leaving her on the ground with a bloody nose. "Suddenly I'm really fond of weed." I said.
