Self Destruction Is Such A Pretty Little Thing

Chapter 32

------Jessica's P.O.V-------
I am going to do my best to keep Ben and Annabelle away from each other. There was no way in hell I was going to let him hurt her again. If I wasn't pregnant I would have beat him so hard his mum wouldn't be able to recognise him.

I placed the bowl full of Cheerios in front of a heart broken Annabelle, setting a spoon down beside of the bowl. I walked back over to Danny, Sam, Cameron and James.

"Oh look at her!" Cameron said, a hint of sadness in his voice. We all starred at her, she had the spoon in her hand and would put some Cheerios into it, just to tilt it so they all fell back in the bowl.

"I'm still going to kill him!" I said. I was furious that he had cheated on her. Hasn't she been through enough already?!

"Jessica, I really think you should let him explain" Danny said.

"You are NOT sticking up for him are you?" I questioned. If he was then I swear to god.

"A little yes, but Jessica I think it's for Ben and Annabelle to sort out." I went to speak but Danny hushed me. A small groan can from my right, we all turned our heads to see Ben looking like a mess. He and Annabelle looked at each other for a small second before she went back to playing with her food and he went over to the mini fridge beside me.

"Good morning Ben" James said calmly, Ben looked at him and he nodded his head. I just scoffed.

"Where are you going" I asked as I see Annabelle get up from her seat.

"I'm not hungry and I want to go back to bed" she said, not making any eye contact with any of us.

"Annabelle you have to try and eat something hun" Sam tried to persuade her. She glanced quickly at Ben and shook her head, before walking of back to the bunks.

"Your an asshole Benjamin!" I violently whispered. He gave me an apologetic look but I just ignored it.

-----later that day-----

"Jessica you ready?" Danny screamed from the main area.

"Hang on!" The boys had to do sound check before the concert tonight. I was crouched down beside Annabelle.

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" I asked, stroking her hair. She nodded, I sighed. " I'll be back later". I walked out of the room and made my way towards the boys.

"Well?" Cameron asked.

"She doesn't want to come, I'm not going to force her" I told them. We all walked out, me and Danny leading the way, Sam Cameron and James where behind us speaking and Ben was slowly walking behind, dragging his feet now and then with his head facing the ground.

Half way through sound check, I noticed that Ben was not concentrating at all. He would forget parts of the songs, be out of time, forget when it was his turn to sing and now and then he would throw a small tantrum. It wasn't only pissing me off, it was pissing the other boys of.

"Maybe you shouldn't have done what you did, it wouldn't be like this" I said whilst walking over to him.

" You know what Jessica, fuck you! And fuck your opinion. You think I did what I did on purpose last night, well your wrong. Stop fucking jumping to conclusions, stop insulting me and stop giving me them dirty looks because they don't suit you. Just because you have a baby inside you doesn't mean you call the shots around here! Now just fuck off. Actually I'm going to talk to Annabelle and tell her what really happened and if you get in my way I swear to god I'll make Danny dump you in a heart beat" he snapped at me before storming of into the direction of the tour buss. I stared in shock, I had never been spoken to like that, I slowly turned and saw the rest of Asking Alexandria with blank expressions on their faces.

-------Annabelle's P.O.V------
I had decided to get up and make myself a drink, just because I was upset didn't mean I have to starve myself and not drink. I loved Ben so much, so obviously this had gotten to me a lot. As I finished making my drink the door to the tour buss opened and there stood Ben.

"Can...can we talk?" He asked politely. I guess I should give him a chance to explain his side of the story. He held his hand out for me to take but I rejected it. He sighed and placed his hand into the back of his neck. We both went to the back of the room, I sat on the chair opposite the sofa, which he was sat on.

"So?" I said, I felt awkward.

"Right so we went to the club like we said we was going to do. Once we got there we had a few drinks and talked like we normally do. Then a group of girls came over to us and that girl Anne was there. They asked if they could sit with us and James said they could, I wasn't too comfortable with the situation but I didn't want to be rude" I nodddd showing I understood.

"And then what?"

"Then the Anne girl asked if she could buy me a drink and I said yeah ok sure. When we came back I remember taking a big gulp of the drink, but then I looked inside the glass and saw some white powder in there. I don't remember what happened after that. I only remember waking up to Danny and James yelling at me and seeing her naked next to me"

"So your telling me she spiked your drink to have sex with you?" I confirmed. He nodded.

"I would never do anything to hurt you Annabelle you know that. Please forgive me" his face showed sorrow and you could hear how sorry he was. Normally, he would have admitted to it but he was denying it. I had to believe him.

"I accept your apology" as soon as those words escaped my mouth, I was embraced into a tight hug.

"I love you Annabelle"

"I love you too Ben" he lent down and kissed me.

Ok, I didn't want there to be this long fight between Ben and Annabelle like most stories. I wanted Ben to be completely innocent :)<3
