I stood waiting at the bottom of the huge staircase that leads up to the entrance of the Nokia Theatre where the Awards would take place.
I hadn't spoken to Danny for a couple of days so I didn't actually know where I could meet them.

I saw the Limousines drive past, stop at the red carpet and one star after the other get out into the storm of flashlights, smile and wave to the crowd and walk up the stairs while being held up several times by reporters from different stations.
Up until now I had seen Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, and Bruno Mars and a lot of other people from the music industry.

When the next car held and opened the doors I could hear 'you only live once' from Suicide Silence blasting from the inside. That must be them. I started to walk towards the car as Danny and the rest of the band got out accompanied by a couple of girls. When Danny saw me he called over "Hey beautiful what's your name?"

"Last time I checked it was still Easy, why?" I frowned.

"Oy, is that our bus driver?" James asked Danny. "Fucking hot" Ben comments.

"Apparently, although I have no idea how she did this." Danny answered him not taking his gaze off me. "I didn't think you would come."

"Well if you don't need me here then I am more then happy to go home again," I reply already starting to turn around to walk away.

"Oh no sweetheart," Danny says taking my hand and interlacing our fingers tight. "I have caught me such a pretty goldfish I am not throwing it back into the water. This will be a night you won't forget"

Together we climb the stairs, pausing once in a while when we are asked to pose for photos, I am all smiles and lean my head onto Danny's shoulder when he grabs my waist and pulls me in.

We look like the perfect couple. Danny by the way doesn't look his normal sloppy self as well. He is showered and combed, smells good for a change and wears a white collared shirt and a black tie to his black jeans and of course his stupid cowboy boots.

We are not asked for an interview on the stairs probably because Asking is not that famous compared to the other guests. So we enter the big foyer where we are confronted with a massive crowd of people and noise. Obviously here is were the majority of the interviews and photos are happening.

And true we stand there for a couple of minutes when a guy approaches us, followed by a man shouldering a huge camera that looks pretty professional.

"Hey guys, my name is Roger Dalkin from ABC News, could we have an interview." "Sure man, just go ahead." Danny answers very affable.

He turns to the camera. "Hello America, tonight we broadcast from the MTV Music Awards in LA and here we are with the infamous Danny Worsnop from the band Asking Alexandria. And may I ask who this wonderful lady at your side happens to be?"

"This is our newest crew member the one and only bus girl, her name is Easy and she is my date for tonight."
I smile into the camera. Of course he had to point that out. I hope Alex doesn't take this for real.

"Danny your band has been on Warped Tour now for nearly six weeks, how is it going?"

"Oh, it is going great, we never had so much fun and action before on Warped. All thanks to my little girl here." He pulls me even closer kissing my cheek.

"Yeah Easy, there have been a lot of rumours around that you, umm, had close relationships with quite a number of different band members in the past weeks. What do you have to say to that." He points the mic at me.

"Thank you for this question Roger, yes there have been a lot of things said about me, the truth is, at Warped we are all like a big happy family. Aren't we Danny? We hang out together, we play tricks on each other and we do a lot of stupid things.

None of this is serious. I can only tell all the fans out there, there is no reason to hate on me because the guys just see me as the bus driver nothing more. But if you want to see the bands and feel the spirit, come out to Warped and enjoy all the fun, there are still some dates left."

"Thank you guys, for the insight on the rock star life. Enjoy your evening."
With this he moves on to the next interview and we are held up several more times from different reporters with similar questions giving similar answers. All runs well and we finally make our way to the hall.

"If you wouldn't be such a notorious fuck up you could really be a show talent, Easy" Danny says when we sit down.

We drink champagne and watch the show, which is good, I mean I could do without all the jokes and speeches but apart from that it is quite cool.
Danny never let's go of my hand and my fingers begin to feel numb but for once he is being nice to me, tells jokes, talks to Ben who sits on my other side and seems genuinely in a good mood.

After about an hour Danny turns to me."Hey Baby, wanna get out and have a bit of a break in the foyer? I'm sick of sitting down."
"Sure, I could use some exercise." I say, glad to be able to move a bit.

He pulls me up and together we leave the hall, Danny throwing his arm around my shoulders. We go to the bar in the foyer and Danny orders some shots for us.
He holds his glass up looking in my eyes. "To the most beautiful girl of the evening" and downs the shot. I mirror his movements.

"Oooh, Danny are you already that drunk?" I smile at him.

"Can't you just fucking take a compliment and shut up?" He asks me and pulls me closer. "Do you always have to tease me and try to keep the upper hand? You know I can't deal with that"
"Oops, my bad" I laugh getting pretty tipsy by now.

He suddenly takes my hand and pulls me into the nearest room which happens to be the ladies restroom.
There he presses me against the wall and hungrily kisses me, his tongue forces it's way into my mouth and his hands push up my dress. I go with it for a while cause it's exciting but when he starts to unbuckle his jeans I push him away trying to stop him.

"Danny I am not having sex with you in the fucking toilet, that's disgusting, stop it"

"Come on baby, you are looking fucking gorgeous tonight, I can't wait to have you" he says pushing me to the wall again.
I shove him away and turn around to leave the room, Danny follows me still trying to hold me back.

"You are so shallow, you just want me because I'm all made up and fake, you never even look at me when I'm myself. What makes you think I would want you now?" I say to him while I am walking to the front door.

" Well I assumed since you've been sleeping around with practically every guy on tour, that you couldn't wait to fuck me." Now he gets angry.

I start walking down the staircase by now. "Danny you are such a lowlife, you know exactly that that's not true. I hate you."

"And you are just an ugly stupid girl, whatever you try to fake here, it's not fucking working. You know what. Go to hell bitch." He screams at me from the top of the stairs. The people that are still standing outside are all looking at us.

I try to turn around to give him my comeback when my heels miss the step and I fall backwards. Everything happens in slow motion now. I fall. When my back hits the edge of the lowest step I hear a horrible crack and an excruciating pain shoots through my body. My heartbeat races and I can hardly breathe, my body is shaking uncontrollably.

When Danny reaches me I look at him with wide eyes whimpering because of the pain and whisper "Danny, I can't feel my legs."

He gets up and practically growls at the people around us "nobody touches her." Then Ben and James suddenly appear beside him and Danny gives his orders.

"Ben you call 911, tell them it's probably a spinal injury." "James you go down to security and tell them to make a gateway for the ambulance." Both of the guys are shocked and don't move for a second. "NOW" he screams at them. Then he drops down on his knees beside me.
"Easy, don't move, the paramedics are on their way. Oh my god, I'm sorry for what I said, I didn't mean it, please be okay, please be okay.
I'm not that much of an asshole, I just don't want to get hurt anymore that's why I'm not good with feelings."

He looks up "why does it take them so long, goddamnit! She could be dying here." He speaks more to himself than to me.

He starts sobbing now hitting the floor beside me with his fist. "I am sorry Easy, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. You are gorgeous, you are beautiful everyday. I never wanted to hurt you but I know I did. "
