Make You Mine

Seventeen

"YOU'RE NEVER AROUND ANYMORE! WHY DO I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS PREGNANCY ALONE? ARE YOU NOT GOING TO HAVE TIME FOR THE BABY, EITHER?" 

An argument broke out between Axl and Violet. Axl was gone most of the day in the studio. And has been doing that for a week. 

"Violet-" "NO! WHAT EXCUSE CAN YOU MAKE? WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEAVE AND FIND SOMEONE BETTER?" Violet asked. Axl looked at Violet but Violet had turned away from him. She couldn't see the tears filling his eyes. 

Axl walked out of the house and down the street. Violet was six months pregnant. How could I be so stupid? he wondered. Rain poured down over him. Axl was soaked. But he could care less if he was hit by lightning. 

Suddenly, Axl saw two lights headed straight for him at full speed. Instead of running, Axl froze. The car came in a hard impact with him. And everything went dark. 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Axl?" Violet asked after about two hours. "Baby, are you here?" She looked around the house calling Axl's name wanting nothing more but to cuddle up close to him and fall asleep. 

How could I be so stupid? she thought as more tears came to her eyes. The phone started ringing and Violet quickly picked it up. 

Mrs. Lake? 
"Yeah? Who is this?" 
"This is nurse Mia. Axl Rose was hit by a car. You were the only phone number in the wallet." 
"Is he going to be okay?" 
"He's awake now." 

Violet grabbed her keys and walked out into the pouring rain. She couldn't wait to get there and apologize a million times over. 

The nurse led her to the room where Axl was. Violet walked in and saw Axl on the bed with a tube stuck down his throat. He was bandaged on his head and arms. Violet could see blood on the bandages and she began to cry as she walked over to him. 

"Axl," she said. Axl opened his eyes and smiled. He grabbed a notebook and a pencil and wrote on it before showing it to Violet. 

I'm sorry. I love you. 

"Axl, no, don't apologize it's my fault," Violet said entangling her fingers with Axl's. She kissed his bandaged head. Axl shook his head. He was clearly annoyed at how he couldn't talk. But in a few days, he would be able to.

. . . . . . . . . . . . 

The doctor had come and took the tube out of Axl's throat so he could talk again. Even though Violet could tell his throat didn't feel the best. But he still said that he loved her over and over again. 

Violet sat in the hospital bed with Axl. He was smiling and rubbing Violet's stomach receiving little kicks from the baby. "I bet she's going to be as beautiful as her mother," Axl said. Violet blushed. "I love you, Axl," Violet said. "I love you too, Vi," Axl said. Violet leaned down and softly kissed Axl's lips. 

Violet was happy Axl was okay. She knew it wasn't his fault. He was so busy and her pregnancy hormones were getting out of hand. 

Violet knew Axl would be making jokes about the pregnancy hormones the second he got back home. 

You're such a dad, Axl.
