Reckless and Relentless- An Asking Alexandria Fanfic

Chapter 25

***The next morning***

  I woke up before anyone else did, with a godawful hangover, the worst I've ever had. How drunk was I last night? God, what even HAPPENED last night? I couldn't remember anything, and that frightened me. I ALWAYS remembered what I had done, but I had also never drank so much.

  Danny was in bed next to me, snoring loudly. I started to get up to get water, but instantly sat back down when I felt blood rushing through my head. I thought about waking Danny, but decided to let him sleep.

  I gagged as I felt bile rising in the back of my throat, and I raced into the bathroom just in time to empty my stomach in the toilet. Fuck I want Danny... I hope he wakes up. I felt bile rising in my throat again and I coughed.

  "Are you okay Charlotte?" Stormi asked, sitting next to me and holding back my hair. I shook my head no, then said, "I didn't hear you come in. I thought you were sleeping." "I woke up when the bathroom door slammed against the wall. Ben and Danny are still sleeping."

  I gagged and leaned my head back over the toilet in case I puked again. "It's okay honey." Stormi said, rubbing my back. "What did I do last night?" I asked.

  "Went to the Viper Room, you and Danny argued so you hung out with some other chick, who was pretty damn hot. Then James and I came back here and-" "Wait, why did we argue?" I cut her off. "It's okay, you guys are okay now." she said, and I could tell she was hiding something.

  "Stormi, what did we argue about?" I asked. I felt a little better, so I stood and flushed the toilet. I realized I had on no shirt or pants, so I walked back into the bedroom and threw on Danny's shirt, and a pair of my pajama shorts.

  "Um... Danny got really drunk, and went off to go hook up with some slut, so Cameron went and got him back, and you two got in an argument when he came back."

  I was silent for a moment, looking at Danny. "And did he fuck a slut?" She shook her head no, and said, "He did make out with one though... I'm sorry Charlotte. But like I said, you two did make up."

  I sighed, and turned back to face her. "It's Danny Worsnop, what else would you expect?" "I know, but it still isn't right." she protested. "Well, he may have other sluts, but I'm still his girlfriend." I said, and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead.

  "Oh yeah, that was definitely proved last night." she said, looking repulsed. "Why the face?" I asked, leading her into the living room so we wouldn't wake Ben and Danny. "Cuz I came in not that long after you said you were going to bed, and could hear you two fucking loudly."

  I sat on the couch and rubbed my forehead. "Well that explains the lack of clothing..." I sighed. Then I remembered something. "I don't remember seeing a condom when we were in the bathroom." Stormi's eyes grew wide.

  "Go check for me please..." I whispered. She ran into the bathroom, and came back a moment later. "I don't think you guys used one, Charlotte..." she said reluctantly.

  I latest down on the couch and curled up in a ball. Oh God, what if I caught something, or if I'm... No. I'm not. I can't be. I'm not pregnant. "Charlotte? Are you okay?" Ben was awake.

  I rolled over so I was facing the back of the couch. As I fought back tears, Stormi told him, "She's really hungover, and she's scared as hell." Ben sat on the couch, tucked a piece of stray hair behind my ear, and asked why I was scared.

  I refused to look at him, but said, "I could be pregnant..," and began to cry. "Oh, sis... Didn't you guys use a condom?" he asked. Stormi answered for me, "She doesn't remember, and we can't find one anywhere."

  He sighed. "I'm gonna wake up Danny." I grabbed his hand, preventing him from leaving. "You can't tell him. You have to promise." I begged. "Charlotte, you could be carrying his small person. He needs to know." Stormi argued.

  "No, not until we know for sure." I wasn't going to worry Danny if I didn't have to. But as fate would have it, Danny walked out of the bedroom. "Good morn- Charlotte what's wrong love?" Danny said worriedly, rushing to my side.

  Stormi and Ben shared a look, which Danny didn't notice. "I have a really bad hangover." I said, wrapping my arms around him. He kissed the tip of my nose, then asked Ben to get me some water and asprin, which he did.

  "Are you gonna be okay to fly doll?" Stormi asked. "Oh shit, I forgot... Fuck. What time does the flight leave?" I asked Danny. "3:30, and it's 10 right now." I nodded slowly. "I should be okay by then."

  Danny ran his fingers through my hair, then leaned down to whisper, "You were amazing last night, love." I didn't say anything, just buried my face in his shoulder. How was I going to tell him not only did I have no memory of it, but I might be pregnant?

  I looked at Stormi, who nodded slightly at Danny. I sighed, and Danny asked what was wrong. "I'm just hungry." I lied. I was completely serious about not saying anything till I knew for certain.

  Danny asked what I wanted to eat, but I had no idea what I wanted. "I want whatever my big brother does." I said, looking up at Ben. "Fuck, I don't know!" Ben exclaimed. "Room service? That way no one has to go anywhere?" Stormi suggested.

  "Okay there, room service. What sounds good Charlotte?" Ben asked. I shook my head, "Danny, just order for me." I was too hungover and my brain was too scattered to think.

  Danny thought for a moment, then said, "I think we should just get you a side of toast, see how your stomach handles it." I nodded in agreement, and Ben picked up the phone to call.

  I heard my phone start ringing from the other room, and I asked Stormi to get it for me. She ran and brought it to me, and the Caller ID said, "Unknown." I frowned, then answered.

"Hello?"

"Charlotte? I wanted to apologize for the other day..."

  I held the phone away from me, looking at it strangely, then brought it back to my ear. "Chloe?"
