Make You Mine

Twelve

Violet laid awake, lost in thought. Axl had fallen asleep two hours ago. But Violet couldn't fall asleep. She too busy thinking about the events of that day. 

Violet came home from job hunting when she heard the sounds of Axl's voice and soft guitars hitting her ears. It was soft and the lyrics were beautiful. Violet walked into the room but stayed at the door frame. 

There were two other women there. One white skin and black hair and the other with tan skin and dark brown hair.  

The song ended. "That was beautiful," Violet said. Axl turned in her direction and smiled. He walked to her and hugged her. "Nothing," Violet said. "It's alright, Violet. This band will take off and you won't need a job," Slash said. "I'd rather not feel like a parasite," Violet said. "You aren't," Axl said sending her a reassuring smiled. 

"Oh, hey, there. Axl talked a lot about you," the tan-skinned girl said walking up to Violet. Violet cut her eyes and Axl who was blushing. "I'm Michelle, and that's Meegan," the girl said. "Who are you with?" Violet asked. Michelle laughed. "If you think I'd be with any of these weirdos your dead wrong," Michelle said. Violet smiled. 

The day was mostly filled with Michelle, Meegan, and Violet hanging out and becoming friends, and watching the newly formed band perform songs in the living room. 

Violet later came to find out that the band, Guns N Roses, was working on an EP with a song titled Welcome to the Jungle to send to record companies and get a chance to throw themselves into the music world. 

Violet was proud of Axl and the guys. She couldn't wait to see what they'd do with their music.

Violet crawled out of bed and walked outside and saw Michelle sitting on the steps with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. She smiled politely at Violet. "You want one?" Michelle asked. "No, I don't smoke," Violet said sitting beside Michelle. 

"Hey, Michelle?" Violet asked. "Yeah," Michelle replied. "What does Axl say about me?" Violet asked. Michelle smiled. "I asked if he had a girlfriend and he said he had the most beautiful girlfriend ever. He said she was so nice and very supportive and she's beautiful," Michelle said. "Really?" Violet asked. Michelle nodded. "Listen, I know you're worried about Axl either cheating on you or breaking up with you for someone with a model body but I know he won't do that," Michelle said. "I don't know. Sometimes I think he gets tired of me complaining about how I look. Sometimes, I think he's going to have enough of helping me with my problems he'll leave," Violet said. "He won't. He doesn't seem like the person who would do that," Michelle said. Violet nodded and went back inside. 

she curled up close to Axl and for the first time in a week, she cried. She didn't know why she cried. She just did. After a while of thinking, she realized she was crying because Axl was the only one she had left. She couldn't afford to lose him. She didn't know what she'd do if she ever lost him.
