Thorns In The Heart

Chapter 5

At the end of the concert Slash went over to Christen with a smile. Some fans saw the two together giving them disturbing looks. If fans saw Slash with a girl they wouldn't give pleasant looks. He didn't care for it though. Christen was just a friend to him. Christen's eyes met Slash's as he grinned asking in his deep voice "How was your first Guns N Roses concert?" Christen looked at the fans who were exiting the arena who were still giving her looks and said "Besides the dirty looks everything was great!" Duff came over ruffling Chris's hair responding back to what she said "Well if they see you they'll think of you as one of our girlfriend's" Ramona walked over with a smirk on her red lips as she rested her arm on  Duff's shoulder "Might as well let them think that! A random girl on tour with Guns N Roses? Fans would be suspicious." Duff and Slash nod thinking of Ramona's response. Christen gave them all a weird look quickly changing the subject "I need cloths....Should I go to my house and get some? Or is Ramona just going to give me a shit load of uncomfortable dresses?" Ramona gave me a look not appreciating the fact I didn't like dresses. Izzy came over standing beside Slash "I wouldn't mind dropping you off at your house so you can quickly pack" Izzy said sounding almost happy to offer her that. Slash shook his head at him "No I could take her home to pack I'm the one that got her into this anyway" Slash said chuckling placing a cigarette in between his lips. Steven walked over rolling his eyes knowing it might cause them to start an argument over the girl  "How about I drive and we all go to her house? After that we can go back to the tour bus?" Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Ramona scoffed at Steven knowing his thoughts "Of course you'd leave Axl and I out of this so him and I can have alone time!" Steven shook his head at Ramona before motioning everyone besides Ramona to follow him to the car. They all followed Steven to a rental car that was all shiny and fancy looking. Duff ran over to the passengers seat shouting "Shot gun!" Slash rolled his eyes mumbling "Dumb ass" while watching Duff make a complete full out of himself. Izzy took a window seat and convinced Christen to sit in between him and Slash. "So Chris tell us the directions!" Steven said starting the car up. They all rolled the windows down to let the smoke out of the car from their cigarettes. Christen leaned forward staring out the window pointing the ways to get to her house. When they arrived she looked at them all serious "I'll be back you all just stay here!" She crawled over Izzy accidentally slipping into his lap causing him to laugh helping her out. She couldn't help but to blush from embarrassment falling on Izzy. Slash's. Instead of going to the front door she walked around the house using the back of the house to get her way inside. She simply crawled up the deck and onto the room opening her window. She opened her closet without making a sound and grabbed a bag stuffing many things in it. Her bag was full of cloths,Cd's,a hairbrush,toothbrush,toothpaste,and a journal she wrote in ever since the beginning of last year. When Chris was done she put her bag on her back crawling out the window and carefully  to the ground. She walked slowly to the car seeing Slash leaning against the door. The windows were shut as the guys watched her walk to the car. Duff smirked looking at Slash elbowing Steven "He's going for it dude!" Steven laughed shouting "Just act like we aren't watching. Izzy sighed rolling his eyes at the two. It was obvious they were right but Slash shouldn't treat her like that. Slash held his hand out and Christen handed him her bag opening the trunk putting her bag in the trunk. Chris watched him and said "Hey Slash?" getting his full attention his eyes looked up at her. She gave him a gentle smile. The only word that came out of her mouth was "Thanks.." He shook his head "No need to thank me. You deserve it Christen." Christen looked at the ground nodding slowly before looking up noticing Slash was close to her. He slowly leaned over to her lightly pecking her lips. Her cheeks turned pink surprised Slash did that. When he pulled away his hand had a grip of her arm. Slash looked down than looked back up at her "Christen I know this is quick but-" his words got cut off  hearing hollering out the window from Steven "Damn hurry up! We don't have all night" Christen's head turned to Steven sighing before backing away "Tell me later k?" she said before getting back in the car. Slash nodded in agreement shutting the trunk. For the rest of the car ride Duff and Steven kept talking while Izzy rested his hand on the armrest in the car and Slash kept his eyes on Christen. Christen just sat there thinking of how Slash kissed her. Was it real?Unbelievable! She didn't really have feeling for him. She only thought of him as a friend.
