Reckless and Relentless- An Asking Alexandria Fanfic

Chapter 15

***Danny's POV***

  God, she's beautiful. And she's definitely got some fight in her, and can hold her own with a bottle. Where has this girl been all my life? Could she be the one?

  "Babe, was it really necessary to punch her? You could've just told her off." I said, taking Charlotte's hand. "Abso-fucking-lutely, she was being a whore and a first-class bitch." "You do realize how often he gets hit on, right?" Ben asked her. "You can't punch every girl that comes within ten feet of him."

***Charlotte's POV***

  "And I'm not going to. But she deserved it. If a guy was doing that with Samantha, would you let it go?" I asked him. Ben was quiet. I rolled my eyes and kissed the back of Danny's hand.

  We walked in silence, something I had never known them to do. When we reached the store, Sam pulled the door open, and the rest of them motioned for me to go through first, then filed in after me. We each went our own separate ways, as though we were strangers.

  After walking around aimlessly for a few minutes, I walked over to Danny. "I'm sorry I flipped out." I told him, putting my head on his chest as I wrapped my arms around him. He put his arms around me and asked why I was sorry.

  "I know I shouldn't be jealous, but after today I couldn't take it. So I'm sorry." He kissed me and said it was okay, then took my hand in his and we got the ice cream, chips, and soda. "You guys ready to go?" he asked. "I dunno," said James, "I can't decide if I really want a fuckin Slurpee or not..."

  I poked him in the side and said, "Thank you, so much, for adding to my list of cravings!" He laughed and handed me an extra-large cup, then took one for himself. "What flavor do you like?" Sam asked me. "I never get anything but cherry. Well, at least not for the last three years. My mom and I used to alternate layers of cherry and coke..." my voice trailed off.

  "Yeah, where is your mom?" asked Danny. I pretended he didn't ask and asked Sam what flavor he liked best. "I like all of them, but I remember this one they had fuckin years ago for awhile that was like this sour grape, and it was fuckin amazing."

  I gasped, "You mean the fucking Star Wars one?!" He and James wrapped me in a giant bear hug, and Sam thanked me for knowing that. I winced in pain and pulled away from them, feigning a laugh. "Hell yeah I know it! I don't like Star Wars anymore though. Just not my thing."

  By now we had gotten to the register and Danny was paying for everything. "Well, you better like horror movies." Ben said with a serious tone to his voice. I raised one eyebrow in curiosity, saying, "Oh really? And why is that?" "Cuz if you don't like horror movies, odds are-" "We won't ever really agree on something to watch." Danny finished.

  "Well lucky for you, I happen to love them. What's your favorite?" "Probably Sinister." he said with a grin. "And yours?" "Either 1408, or Sticks and Stones." "The fuck is Sticks and Stones?" Cam asked. "It's a possession movie that was fucking epic as hell."

  James groaned. "Possession is so played out!"

  "And yet you love the Paranormal Activity series."

  "There's no possession on any of them, the fuck are you talking about?"

  "Oh so Katie gets pissy and kills Daniel and Kristi cuz why the fuck not, and in the third one everyone is fucking hypnotized?"

  He had nothing to say, and I knew I had won the argument. "Hey, we should drop things off at the hotel, then go out to a bar. Seeing as it's our last night here." Sam suggested. "I'm down, are you guys?" asked Cam.

  I looked at the ground, not wanting to say anything. "I say sure, long as it's not The Rainbow, and someone keeps their fucking eye on Charlotte at all fucking times." Danny said, shooting a dirty look at Cam. "No it's okay, we can go to The Rainbow if you guys want." I said quietly. I didn't want to interfere with someone's plans.

  "Are you sure?" Ben asked. I nodded, but I didn't really wanna go. "So then let's drop shit off and go." James said, and he, along with Sam and Cameron, ran toward the hotel, whooping like Indians.

***25 minutes later***

***The Rainbow, Hollywood, CA***

  "Look who's back!" Danny was greeted by the slut we had met the night before, but he ignored her, smiled at me, and led me to the dance floor. The rest of the guys hit the bar to get even more hammered, and probably pick up some chicks. "Behave yourself, Ben!" I yelled after him.

  "Babe, I can't dance!" I laughed as Danny started doing goofy dance moves. "Does it look like I can? Just have fun!" "Oh I definitely can't be sober for that." I said, and walked to the bar. "Long Island Ice Tea, please." I asked the bartender. "Just make it like you had a reeeeally bad day." He winked and said, "Will do, hun!" and went to work making my drink.

  I felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around my waist and I smiled. "Hey babe." I said, turning around to face Danny.

  It wasn't Danny.
