Thorns In The Heart

Chapter 11

After breakfast it was time to go to the next tour stop.It was only a 2 hour drive this time so it was enough time for the band to ask Izzy and Christen everything all about their relationship. Half the questions they asked were unanswered since they haven't even done much about their relationship yet. Izzy sat by the window with his arm wrapped around Christen always glancing down at her beautiful brown eyes to make sure there was still a smile on her face. For some odd reason Chris felt something wasn't right but it didn't involve Izzy. She knew her feelings for Izzy was strong and it was same for him. When Ramona and Axl left the table to go sit on the couch and Steven fell asleep and Duff going to get some vodka Chris looked to see Slash was sitting alone in the back of the bus. Izzy always glancing down at her he noticed her looking at Slash. Izzy whispered "Somethings wrong with him...he isn't acting as himself" Christen nodded whispering back "Its because of stuff that happened." Izzy stroked Chris's hair "What happened?" Christen shook her head "I won't speak about it,but if you find out you'll be hearing it from Slash" Izzy knew it was something that was bad but he didn't want to push Christen into telling him. Deciding to change the subject he grinned with excitement in him "So tonight I thought we could have our little date. Maybe go to a movie than go out to dinner?" Christen smiled loving his thoughts for a first date nodding right away. Izzy chuckled kissing her forehead before adjusting their position so she could lay her head on his chest. Chris lightly grabbed onto one of his hands playing with his fingers while he stroked her hair slowly.Soon enough Christen fell asleep in Izzy's arms and Izzy lied awake staring out the window continuously petting Chris's hair. Slash walked out from the back of the bus grabbing a bottle of Jack Daniels out of the fridge plopping down in the seat in front of Izzy staring at Chris who was sound asleep. Slash mumbled in a sober voice "I heard about you two being a couple now...Don't want to sound like a hell lot of trouble or anything but you better treat her right Izzy shes fucking fragile and could easily get broke" Izzy's head snapped at Slash giving him a confused look "How would you know that? " Slash looked at Izzy lighting a cigarette before telling him about last night "Long story short I told her I really liked her and just for the fuck of it we both kissed! Well last night she saw me with a fan. The fan was named Jenna and so Jenna decided to crawl on me and make out! Well Christen had to walk in and I broke her heart last night so she came to you." He shrugged making it sound like it didn't hurt him but really the alcohol was getting into his system causing his attitude to show his jealously and anger. Izzy had a mad disgusted look at Slash shaking his head "Slash she wasn't hurt because of you and she isn't the type of girl to desperately crawl to someone like you think she is." Slash clenched his fists until Christen moved looking at Izzy and Slash not knowing what the two were discussing. When she woke up all she heard was Izzy thanking Slash for advice about being with her. The look of anger on Slash soon disappeared and his eyes were covered by his curly black hair. He stood up walking off into the back of the bus leaving Izzy alone with Chris. Izzy knew better when it came to Chris. From the first day of her being on tour with Guns N Roses he watched how she acted knowing exactly what to say or do when she talked to him. For the rest of the time before arriving to their next tour stop Izzy just stayed silent holding Christen tighter than before while she fell back asleep once again in his arms.
