Anastasia's Pov:
"Times up!"Steven said banging on the top of the car roof in attempt to break up Erin and Axls passionate make out session before it escalated into more but they didn't take no notice. "Axl!"Steven shouted as Axl stuck his middle finger up against the window as Steven attempted to pull the door open but it was locked from the inside.
"popcorn did you leave your keys in the car?"Izzy said glancing into the car.
"f*ck.Let's walk."Steven said admitting defeat as he trailed down the Los Angeles streets as I opted to walk next to him with Slash and Izzy behind us rather than walking beside Slash to avoid the awkwardness and guilt I felt for practically shouting that I don't love him in front of our whole friendship circle except it got way more awkward when we sat down opposite in the Rainbow diner.
"Hey everybody I'm Pamela what can I get for y'all?"The chirpy waitress said clicking her pen as she pulled a notepad as she looked up as her eyes widened. "Oh my gosh,I've seen seen you all..in the Roxy?"She smiled mainly directing her gaze at Izzy.
"yeah we're in a band."Steven bragged.
"that's if there still is a band."Izzy muttered.
"well that's so cool,I always imagined dancing on the stage."She giggled as she looked directly at me. "hey aren't you dating that metal boy?"She asked referring to metallica and I knew as soon as she said metal she was talking about Kirk as I slammed my head onto the table.
"She's my girlfriend."Slash said reaching over the table holding my hand as I could sense some bitterness in his voice.I wondered why he'd just done that considering he just got punched in the face for kissing me but he still continued to introduce me as his girlfriend to random waitresses on the sunset strip.
"oh my bad.I must've read it in a magazine somewhere.So both of Y'all are single?"She said unprofessionally looking between Izzy and Steven who sat opposite each other too.
"of course."Steven said as Izzy agreed.
"good."She flirted biting her pen as she looked at Izzy. "Anyways what can I get you?"She smiled.
"Can I have blueberry pancakes with lots of syrup and chocolate and oj"Steven asked like the absolute child he is.
"just coffee please."Izzy said putting more effort into his tone in an attempt to flirt with the girl.
"I'll have the same."Slash said with Izzy.
"okay two coffees..."Pam smiled scribbling down on her notepad.
"Make that three."I smiled.
"Coming right up."She smiled spinning around.
"I thought we were all getting breakfast."Steven groaned.
"we all aren't children."Izzy teased.
"she's cute,don't you think Izzy?"I asked him intrigued.
"who?Pam?"he said surprised.
"you have a nickname for her already?"I teased.
"no,I've just seen her around here."Izzy insisted.
"That why you always force us to come to this diner?"Slash added as Izzy ignored him as we all laughed.It was fun,not as bad as I thought it was gonna be we all just joked about Duff hitting Slash and how Erin and Axl are probably f*cking in Stevens moms car which Steven didn't find very funny as he gobbled up a tall stack of blueberry pancakes.
"so Izzy are you gonna get her number?"I smirked as Izzy unsure.
"You should go tip her!"Steven encouraged him as Izzy plucked up the courage. 
"I'm not taking flirting advice from you Adler."Izzy backlashed as Steven looked offended.
"I pull way more women than you Izzy."Steven assured him.
"More desperate women."Izzy muttered as I giggled.
"It's not a bad idea Izzy,Be chivalrous."I smiled agreeing with Steven as he looked proud of himself.
"I don't think I'll be taking flirting advice from you either Anastasia."Izzy said as I was now offended.
"I'm great at flirting!"I insisted.
"And look where it got you."Izzy said savagely glancing at Slash as I scoffed.
"Okay Stradlin I see how it is."I said rolling my eyes at him as he stood up.
"pay the check while you're there."Slash said sliding a twenty dollar bill to Izzy as he nodded and walked over to Pam who was at the counter giving orders to the kitchen as we all watched in awe.
"f*ck."Steven shouted catching our attention as she chocolate sauce spilled down onto his pants as he got up rushing to the restroom grumbling leaving Slash and I.
"why'd you pay the check?I said I would."I asked turning to him.
"Too late now."Slash said as my mind wandered.
"And why did you call me you're girlfriend to the waitress?"I asked again.
"I felt like it,I'm not scared of Duff just of what he might do but I'll be as affectionate to my girlfriend as much as I want unless you don't want me to."He said raising his eyebrows at me as I shook my head.
"are you upset with me?"I said reluctantly 
"god how many questions?"he asked as I rolled my eyes. "no,Ana why would I be upset with you?"He said unbothered.
"Because of the whole I don't love you thing."I said as I thought about what I was saying,This wasn't me at all.I sounded stupid and insecure.
"no.I know you love me Ana,you've proved that too me many times."He winked as I hit my lip as Izzy slammed the receipt down on the table.
"Why'd you make me do that?"Izzy said sitting back down.
"it didn't go well?"I asked.
"I tipped her like you said,I even complimented her and nothing."Izzy said slightly embarrassed.
"Well if you count nothing as her digits then I'd say nothing is pretty good."Slash said reading the receipt as Izzy snatched it out of his hands as a little scribble of a telephone number and her name signed on the receipt with a kiss and a heart next to it.
"you have to call her,invite her over to the apartment."Slash said as a smile grew across his face.
"I bet you're glad you took my advice."I teased as Steven walked over with a mysterious brown stain on his pants.
"Steven what the f*ck?"Izzy said as his eyes widened at the sight of the patch of sauce expecting the worse.
"The chocolate stained."Steven sobbed
