A Shoulder To Cry On.

Chapter Six

"Axl?" "Hm?" "Do you think I'm pretty?" "Of course, you're the prettiest girl I've ever laid eyes on." "That's saying a lot." "But it's true." 

Everly smiled and turned her attention back to the TV. "Am I a burden?" Everly asked. "No," Axl said. "But I don't work? I feel like a parasite," Everly said. Axl chuckled. "You aren't a parasite it's not like we don't have money," Axl said. 

The phone started ringing. Axl snorted and looked bothered. "What's wrong?" Everly asked. "It's probably David calling about the tour," Axl said. He leaned his head back against the couch and closed his eyes. "I don't wanna go," he said. "Why?" Everly asked. "Because, the touring is almost constantly and we have little time to rest," Axl said. "You had-" "Seven months?" Axl asked opening his eyes and lifting his head to look at Everly. "That's a while," Everly said. "Besides, if you don't want to go then just cancel it." "I can't," Axl said. "Why?" Everly asked. "What about the others? Slash was excited about going on tour so I'm not just going to ruin it for everyone else," Axl said. Everly crawled into his lap and held his face in her hands before she kissed his lips.

They felt a fat little body squeeze between them and Everly pulled away from Axl. They both looked in Axl's lap and saw Blue sitting there with his tongue sticking out looking at Axl and Everly. "Do you want love too?" Everly asked petting Blue. Axl chuckled and pet Blue. The phone started ringing again. "Alright," Axl grumbled. Everly chuckled and moved off of Axl's lap and brought Blue to her lap as Axl got up to answer the phone.

"Hey, Everly," Everly turned around and saw Milo looking at her. "G-get away from me!" she said. She was about to run when Milo grabbed her arm and jerked her back. "Dad! Stop!" Everly said. "Where have you been? Running off when you were fourteen!" Milo growled. "I-I'm sorry. I couldn't take it!" Everly said starting to cry. "Leaving me and your dying mother!" Milo yelled.  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Everly cried. "And your brothers and baby sister! And now you're only a useless piece of garbage!" Milo yelled. "No... Stop," Everly said starting to sob. "What? Are you too much of a pussy to face the truth?" Milo asked. He let Everly go and she ran home. 

She ran through the door and closed it behind her. She ran to her and Axl's room knowing he wasn't there she began to search the room. She gave up looking in the room and ran to the kitchen and pulled out a knife.
