Frosty Love

Chapter Six

"Hey sexy ;)" Ben texts.

I set down the phone and continue to study. Finals are this week and if I want to get into that college I need good grades. I glance over my guitar and shake my head, I can't. Must study. I've been listening to Ben's band's music of a while now, and I must say it is pretty good.

'Come on baby keep it down, oh honey hush your lips. Clothes trailing from the back door to the bedroom and I don't even know your name' I sing.

A call rings up on my caller ID. Speak of the devil. I turn down the music and answer.

"Danny?" I ask with a smile. It feels like I have friends now. But then again, they are never around to see how terrible of a person I am.

"Hey you still planning on going to college?" he asks, not being around the bush.

"Yeah. Full ride is pretty nice"

"But you are such a good musician, do you really want to do that?"

"Yeah. I don't have much of a choice Danny"

"Kayla...." He sighs. "You're supposed to do what you love"

"I gotta go Dan" I hang up the phone.

-

"Mom?" I squeak out

"Shut up" she pushes me to the ground making my head bang against the steps.

"Do you want to lay down?" I ask watching her take a swig of vodka

"I'll do what I want" She says pouring vodka on me then punching me in the gut, causing me to cry out in pain.

"Shut up" She slurs then topples over onto the couch.

"Kayla?" Danny and Ben bursts in "Are you okay?"

"Fine" I say pushing myself up to the wall

"You're bleeding"

I feel my hair, clumped with blood, I must be hideous with my white hair mixed with bright red blood. "I am just fine"

"I can see that" Danny sighs sitting on the steps with me.

"I'm just tired..." I say drowning into the blackness.

"Ow" I scream feeling cold water burn my head. "What the hell?"

"Getting the blood off ya" Danny smiles. "Don't worry, you're in your bra and shorts"

I look down. "Thanks I think?"

"Nasty gash" Ben chuckles

"Shut up" I hiss. Danny turns off the shower and carefully towels me off and helps me out of the shower.

"What were you guys doing here anyways?" I ask on the way to my bedroom "Stalking me?"

"No, we came to talk" Ben sighs helping me into bed.

"About...?"

"About college" Danny finishes

"I told you" I groan "I don't have a choice."

"You do have another though..." Ben says biting his lip

"Details?" I ask.

"Well, our other guitarist, Sam, he quit the band like a dick" Danny says harshly. Ouch. Some real pain here.

"We want you to take his place" Ben concludes

"No... I can't"

"Why? I heard you in the band room" Ben smiles lightly at me "You are a good guitarist"

"But can she sing?" Danny wonders

"But does she want to do it at all?" I mock

"Yes" Ben smiles.

"I don't do famous on stage shit. I like being in a booth and singing"

"She does sing!" Danny smiles

"Please come on tour with us" Ben pouts.

"Ben..." I groan

"Pleeeasssseee" He pouts giving me puppy eyes I can't refuse.

"I already dropped out of college..."

"What?" They exclaim

"I was going to change for musical college"

"Well now you wont have to change at all. You're coming with us" Ben orders

"Ben..."

"Come...please!" Danny beggs

"Yeah!" Ben smiles

I roll my eyes. "Fine."

"Yay!" They hug me.

"On one condition..." I sigh.

"What?" they ask pulling away.

"You all treat me as one of the guys."

"Agreed" Ben eyes up Danny.

"Oh my god." What?

"Some stories are interesting..."
