Self Destruction Is Such A Pretty Little Thing

Chapter 3

I woke up to the sun shinning through the curtains. I smiled to myself as I knew what I had planned today. I was hanging out with THE Ben Bruce. If I'm honest I was really..no VERY excited, i mean wouldn't you be if your favourite member of a band asked you to hang out with them?!?. I sat up and pushed the covers off of me and made my way to the bathroom. I had a wash and brushed my teeth. I had no idea what to wear so I decided to do what was best. I walked over to Jessica's room to find her already dressed.

" Hey Belle " she smiled

"Jessica, what do you think I should wear today, nothing tramway or anything" I asked

"We'll looking at the weather I think you sho..wait...why do you want my opinion?" She asked curiously, her left eyebrow raised

" oh yeah I didn't tell you. Ben wanted me to hang out with him today"her jaw looked like it was about to drop to the floor.

"Oh my gosh Belle, your going on a date with Ben Bruce!!"

"It's not a date Jess, we are just hanging out" she smirked and then my phone rang. I sprinted back to my room and answered.

"Hello" I said

"Hey Annabelle..that is you right?" It was Ben, a huge smile started to form on my face

"Yeah it is aha hey Ben what's up"

"Hey and nothing I was just making sure we was still up for today?" Obviously, I was not going to cancel

"Yeah of course" I smiled.

"Great well I'll pick you up in an hour, cya"

"Bye" and then I hung up.

---------Ben's P.O.V-------------

I placed my phone down on the table, only to have Danny, James, Sam and Cameron walk in

"BEN!!!!" Danny screamed and gave me brother hug,I hugged back.

"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" I asked

"Ummm, Ben we decided that today we was gonna write some more songs and practice them!" Sam spoke. shit I totally forgot. I thought that was tomorrow

"Mate don't tell me you forgot" James sounded rather annoyed

"Shit, I made arrangements to go hang out with Annabelle?"

"Wasn't she the girl with blue hair we met yesterday?" Cameron finally said. I nodded and Danny smirked

" What's with your face?" Danny just laughed

"Look I can cancel with Annabellle if you want?" I really didn't want to, she seemed like a nice girl and I wanted to get to know her. I reached for my phone but Danny stopped me.

"No Ben go out have fun, just don't make any plans for tomorrow" I smiled and thanked them. After that they left. I went to go change.

----------Annabelle's P.O.V-----------

The doorbell went and I wasn't ready, I still had to do my hair

"I'll get it!!" Jessica shouted and I heard the front door open.

"Hey Ben" I herd Jessica say I heard him reply with a hey.

"Hurry your Ass up Belle!!" She screamed up the stairs and I heard Ben give a small laugh. After about 5 minutes I was ready and was walking down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and Ben was sat at the table speaking to Jessica, when he saw me he stood up

"Hey" he said whilst walking over to me

"Hey" I blushed, I was nervous and it wasn't even a date. What the hell Annabelle.

" right you two go have fun..oh and Ben will you tell Sam I said hi when you next see him" Jessica asked

"Sure" Ben smiled and walked me towards his car.

---

"So tell me about yourself" Me and Ben were currently sitting in a cafe, we ordered some food and drinks and we were just having a random conversation.

"Well my name is Annabelle, but you know that by now,aha, ummmm I'm 19 years old, I live with my best friend Jessica and well that's it really. I'm not interesting" I replied but with a laugh and so did he

" really? Do you have a job?"

"No but i want one, just don't no where to work"

"Oh" we both took a sip of our cokes and then he asked a question. Something I didn't wish to talk about

" So why do you live with Jessica, why not you parents...I mean I know you can move out, you just seem like the kind of girl who wouldn't want to leave her parents just yet" I looked down and Ben looked very concerned. " are you ok?" I gave a small nod. Maybe it would be ok to talk about them, you know get it of my chest.

"We'll urm, before I lived with Jessica , I did live with them, my parents.they..." Tears were starting to form in my eyes. Ben handed me a napkin as he obviously saw. " they urm..they died on my 9th birthday" tears started to roll down my cheeks, even Ben looked upset.

" what on the actual day of your birthday" I nodded. "Fuck." Was all he said and he took another sip of his drink. I heard him sigh and he stood up out of his seat. Fucking hell.....I'm too depressing to hang out with. He's just gonna leave now. Well that's what I thought, until I saw him walk to my chair and bend down a bit.

"Hey, look at me" I turned and saw him give a small smile. "I'm sorry I asked, if I had known then...you know"

I sniffed " it's ok Ben, I always cry when I talk about them" he began to rub my back and smile

"Smile Annabelle, I don't like seeing people cry" I gave a small smile and he laughed.

About a few hours after Ben had dropped me back home. We was standing outside of my door and were just talking.

" thank you for taking me out Ben, it's nice to go out with someone except Jessica" we both laughed

" it's no problem Annabelle, if you ever need to talk to someone, ring me ok" I noodled and smiled. " aww come here". I walked towards him and he embraced me into a hug, I hugged back. I completely forgot that he was my idol from Asking Alexandria.

" thanks again Ben" he turned to walk back to his car, he got in and started the engine, but before driving off he gave a wave and I waved back before entering my house.

" how was it?" Jessica rushed out of the living room

" it was good" I said a huge..and I mean huge grin was plastered on my face.
