She never knew the difference between a boy and a man until she met him. Will her past keep her from seeing that though.

Holy crap you guys thank you!
Inspired by Drunk Girl by Chris Janson
For what felt like hours I found myself in the middle of the crowd dancing with my girls and the guys screaming the lyrics to songs that I didn't even know I knew. Eventually though I found myself wore out and needing a rest.
"I seriously never thought my life would end up this way." I slur leaning into Dansby. "I mean Jimmy and I had dated for 3 years. He treated me like shit but still!" Drunk me LOVES to talk I honestly don't know why Dansby is even still listening to me. He had been all night.
"Well I mean the grass is always greener so it will get better." Dansby tries to assure me.
I scoff bringing my drink to my lips again. "Who ever said the grass is always greener must've never seen the other side." Dansby chuckled at my comment. "I mean seriously! The grass I'm on right now looks like it's been burnt by a fucking wildfire. I had a boyfriend who seemed like the perfect guy but behind closed doors he wasn't. I had THE job, I was the marketing manager of the New England Patriots, we won a fucking super bowl!" I yelled.
Dansby cringes and brings his hand over his heart. "Let's not talk about that super bowl. I'm a die hard Falcon's fan." My mouth formed an 'o' shape at his words.
"Well then I can continue to talk about my life that I threw on the floor but I'm sure you're tired of hearing me go on so I'm going to grab another drink." I says standing up to get another drink. Once I get to my feet a wave of nausea hits me and I put my hands on the table to steady myself.
"Woah you ok?" Dansby asks, his hands find my waist as he steadies me.
"Yea I'm fine. Just stood up to fast." I brush him off. Dansby follows me to the bar as I order another drink.
"Ashton are you sure you're ok?" Dansby ask wrapping an arm around my waist to steady me.
"Fine." I hiccup. When I take a step I stumble and nearly fall but thankfully Dansby catches me. "Oops." I giggle.
"Ok I think it's time we find your friends." Dansby leads me back to where everyone had been. "Hey Zach where's Emma and them?" He asks.
"Oh shit? Did Jess and Ally not come get her? They left." Zach asks as his eyes float to me.
"Awe man this is just like my 21st birthday." I pout.
"Well where's Emma?" Dansby ignores my comment as he keeps a grip on me.
Zach chuckles shaking his head. "She left with Logan about 20 minutes ago.
Dansby cursed under his breath as he looked at me before turning back to Zach. "Ok I'm gonna take her home. I'll see y'all back at the house." Zach just nods as Dansby pulls out his phone and orders an Uber.
"Dansby my feet hurt." I whine leaning on him.
"Do you want to sit down?" He asks, I nod as he helps me sit down on the curb. "Here have a sip of this water." Dansby raises a water to me as I take it and take a sip. The last thing I remember is sitting on the curb with Dansby before I completely blacked out for the night. Thanks alcohol.
Dansby's POV
Ashton was trashed. But guess she had a right to be. I knew the second I saw her she was either a bachelorette or just broke up with someone. The later being true. She was a beautiful mess though. When she was dancing it was like she was the only one in the room. Her hair was a mess but she didn't have a care in the world.
As we sat on the curb I couldn't help but notice her beauty. She was flawless but she didn't know that. She had been treated like crap according to what she said earlier.
"So where's you're girlfriend?" She slurred leaning her head on my shoulder.
I scoff shaking my head. "What girlfriend?"
Those pretty brown eyes pop open and she's staring at me. "Come on, a guy as hot as you is sure to have a girlfriend." Even though she slurred it all together it was clear as day.
"Nope. Single as can be." I say as the Uber pulls up. I help her up and into the car before sliding in on my side.
"All good?" The drive asks.
"Yes sir." I nod throwing my arm around Ashton as she leaned into me. I had gotten her address out of her phone so I was just going to take her there then Uber back to my house.
She lived only about 10 minutes from downtown so the ride was short. When we got there though she was asleep so I just picked her up and carried her through her front door. I was thankful her keys were in her purse.
Unlocking the door her place was spotless. There were a few boxes still left unpacked in the corner. Laying her keys on the counter I carry her up the stairs, pushing open the first door a see a bed that didn't have sheets so this must not be her room. The next was a bathroom. After a few room I finally find hers, I only know it was hers because it was the only one completely unpacked.
I respect her enough not to undress her so I just slip her shoes off before laying her in the bed and pulling the covers up over her. I take her phone out of her purse and plug it into the wall. I quickly write out a note and leave my number on the bottom. Hey I mean sometimes you gotta shoot your shot.
Walking out of her room I turn the light off and leave the door cracked. I leave the hall light on for her and walk downstairs. Making sure I lock the door behind me I climb in my Uber only hoping I hear from her again.
When I get back to my house I share with Logan and Zach I try and stay quite as I crept in. As I was making my way down the hall to my room I jump at Logan's bedroom door opening and Emma walking out in Logan's t-shirt.
"Oh uh hey Dansby." She stutters trying to run a hand through her hair.
"Emma." I chuckle.
"Did Ashton get home ok? I'm a shit friend, I was so drunk when we left though, when I sobered up I freaked out a bit." She admits leaning in the doorway.
"Yea I got her home. You should probably check on her in the morning though, she was pretty fucked when I left." I say running a hand through my hair.
"Will do. Thanks so much Dansby." She reaches out and gives my arm a squeeze.
"No problem." I go to head down the hall but turn back. "Oh and tell Logan his ass owes me breakfast since he took my car." Emma let's out a laugh before nodding and heading back into the bedroom.
Laying down in bed I scroll through my phone and Instagram. Ashton had insisted on following me back at the bar so I had followed her and the other girls as well.

I chuckle at the shade Jess was throwing on the post. She was always involved in the drama back in high school. After scrolling through my feed and liking a few pictures I lock my phone and decide to turn in for the night. I've got a 7:35 game tomorrow and a hang over is the last thing I need. I could've gone home with any girl I wanted to in that bar tonight but if I did tonight over again I would still take Ashton home. Something about that girl tonight made me want to protect her.
