Axel

Axel

Axel

I love your name, Axel.

"Yeah?" He grins, i scrunch my eyebrows in confusion.

Did i just say that out loud?

I think i should stop drinking.

With our heads still leaned back on the couch and our faces inches apart, i admire his pretty blue eyes and long eyelashes. His friend nudges his shoulder, and he quickly sits up, pulling his face away. Before i get to sit up Axel turns to me again.

"You got someone to take you home?" He asks, quickly downing a drink after.

"Abby was going to take me home." I replied. He pauses for a moment, thinking about something and lets out a groan.

"Okay, let's get you home." He begins to get up, towering over me. I frown.

"I don't want to go yet."

"You're already wasted."

"You don't have to take me home, ill find someone else." I protest. He raises his eyebrows before replying.

"Yeah? Who?" he asks, still staying standed. I look around until i spot Keith who looks like is having a good time, laughing with his friends.

"Keith." I say and lean back into the couch. Axel scoffs.

"Fuck no." His tone was serious, and so was his expression.

"Why not?" Axel is about to reply before stopping himself and i watch his jaw tense and him let out a breath before replying.

"He's not a good guy." He quickly replies, my neck is starting to ache from looking up at him.

"Yes he is, and your not necessarily a nice guy either." I state crossing my arms, i try to ignore how sick i'm feeling hoping it will soon go away.

"Besides why do you care who takes me home?" I add on, sort of impressed by the confidence alcohol gives me.

He seems annoyed with me, and i question wether i should go before he sobers up and is mean again.

"He likes to drug girls, forgive me for looking out for you." He dryly replies, and begins to pick up the rest of his belongings.

Shocked was an understatement.

I danced with Keith the whole night, he gave me drinks, he touched me.

I wasn't sure if i should believe Axel. He's rude, arrogant, stubborn and i don't know him so it wouldn't surprise me if he's lying. And Keith was kind to me all night, i had fun dancing with him.

I look at Keith who is still laughing and talking with his friends, and then i look back at Axel who is still standed and is now having small talk with the guy who offered me drugs earlier.

And I thought if Axel lied ,what would be his reason? We barley know each other. There was no reason for him to lie.

I glance at Keith ones more, and my heart stings. I let him touch me, i was practically with him the whole night. He could have done that to me. But even though Axel has a unreasonable problem with me and seemed like a rude guy he still helped me.

I was a dumb girl, and a drunk one.

I should've stayed home, who cares about some name or having fun? I just wanted to gain a friend, that was all.

"Thank you." I speak up, he turns to his head slightly look at me and blinks. After a moment of silence he dryly nods and turns back to drug guy.

I watch his jaw move as he spoke only a few words. I realised he doesn't like to talk a lot and usually tries to keep the conversations short. Or that might just be to me, considering he doesn't seem like he likes me very much.

After what seems like hours but is only a few minutes, he is still making small talk with drug guy and i'm still sat awkwardly.

I scan my eyes over the table that's in front of me. Where peoples phones laid and left over drug powder was scattered.

I turn on my phone that read 1:45am and glance once more at Axel, before standing up.

I need to go home.

I know his name now, and he doesn't seem like he wants to be my friend so i can forget about him.

I walk into the dance floor, for the look out of Abby. I was ready to get shouted at, but i needed a ride home and too apologise.

I feel a presence behind me and i snap my eyes open when hands come down to my hips to sway me . Turning my head i look at Keith who is smirking down at me.

I push him off me and stop walking, he only looks at me confused and lets out a confused chuckle before putting his hands on my hips again.

"Get off me." I mumble politely over the music and shove my hands roughly at his chest causing him to stumble a few steps back.

"What's your problem?" He shouts back, keeping his balance and taking a step forward towards me.

"Maybe the fact that you were going to drug me!" I shout, a few people stop dancing to listen into our fight. Keith's eyes widen before he chuckles.

"Your fucking insane! What makes you think i'd drug you?" He steps another step forward, his face was scrunched in frustration.

"Just get away from me Keith." I sigh. Keith scoffs.

I try walk away somewhere else but he grabs my wrist and tries pulling me back.

"Come on, don't be like that." He says softly pulling me in and holding my hips in place. His face inches from mine.

"I said no, all we did was dance and talk i don't want anything else." I shake my head and try get out his grasp.

"come on, baby-" He runs his hands higher up my waist before he is cut off.

A veiny hand with rings and tattoos grab onto the back off his neck and pulls him back, causing his hands to be ripped off my waist.

"She said no." Axel repeats calmly.

"Woah man, i don't want trouble." Keith says putting his hands up in defeat.

"So fuck off then." Axels voice is ruff as he warns Keith.

"Okay okay man, i won't bother her again." Keith agrees, shaking his head in fear. Axel only nods his head and lets go the grip on Keiths neck, dropping his hand to his side.

Keith only speed walks away as he rubs the back of his neck with his fingers without looking once back.

"Thank you." I say and look up at him.

"Yeah whatever, go home your drunk." He demands. His expression is blank, but his blue eyes still sparkle in the lights.

"I'll call you a uber, since you aren't capable of doing it yourself." He decides after a beat and grabs my wrist pulling me out of the crowd and sitting me back down where i was sat before on the couch.

Looks like he sobered up, and isn't fun anymore.

"I thought you said you where going to take me?"

"Something came up." He sharply replies, keeping his eyes glued to the phone whilst his fingers clicked stuff on his phone.

He walks away without a word and i watch him talk to the phone before he come back.

"Stay here and wait for the uber, don't run off again." He tells me.

"Thank you, you didn't need to do all this and take care of me." I chuckle and drunkly fall back into the couch.

"Don't get used to it." He says pocking his tongue at his cheek.

"Why are you helping me? You don't like me very much." I ask as my world starts spinning and i begin to feel more sick.

He only looks at me blankly for a second before replying.

"I felt like it."

Does he normally walk around helping people because he felt like it? Strange.

I burst out laughing until i'm clenching onto my stomach from the pain. Axel only stands there, looking down at me confused.

It takes me a minute before i've controlled my laugh and sorted myself out. But when i look up at him, he stares at me with a blank face and i let out another uncontrollable giggle.

"What's so funny?" He asks and looks at me as if laughing is the most disgusting thing in the world.

"Nothing. Its nothing." I reply between giggles. He only scrunches his face in confusion more.

"Clearly something is funny, if you are laughing."

"No, nothing it's okay, nothing is funny." I say and take in a deep breathe trying to catch my breath.

"Are you done?" He says, but i can see that small smile threating to come out. I smile, and nod.

He pulls out a chair from another table and sits in front of me on the other side of the table. Pulling out a cigarette pack and a lighter he chucks it on the table before leaning back into the chair and placing a cigarette between his lips. He then bring the lighter to it and chucks the lighter back onto the table once the cigarette is lit.

Taking a drag slowly, he looks at me. It looks as if he's studying me as he blows the smoke out.

"Why don't you smoke outside?" I ask, trying to start a conversation before it gets awkward. He only shrugs his shoulders and blows out more smoke.

I pick up my phone which now read 2:45. I didn't realise it was this late, i wondered if Abby had left and if she will still be friends with me after tonight or if she will ignore me and bully me until she's over it.

I place my phone downward onto my lap and glance up at Axel once again, who is almost done with his cigarette. And after a few more drags when he is, he presses the cigarette into a plate and leaves it there.

His large hand reaches out for his belongings off the table and he puts it back into his pocket. And after he checks the time he gets up from his chair and starts to walk away.

"What are you doing?" I call out for him quickly, he keeps walking away slowly but still reply's.

"I gotta go." He slightly shouts, enough to hear him over the music as he walked away.

"Oh okay, bye Axel!" I shout once again.

He stops at the door and looks at me once more.

"Yeah, bye Bella." He replies and pulls the door open. I watch his tall frame out the window take long strides to a black Audi car. I watch him unlock the car and open the door before swiftly sitting in and slamming the door. He turns on the engine and within minutes he's gone again.

I turn my head from the window and look at my lap, continuing to wait for my uber and staying sat like he told me too.

And even though i had fun tonight and found out his name, something was still unsatisfied in me. But i decided to ignore it and instead forget about the stranger.

The stranger who nicknamed me Bella.
