Since I Was Torn From You (Axl Rose)

Three

Eight Years Later. 

"Hey, Diana!" My co-worker Sarah said. "Hey," I said in my regular monotone voice. 

Ever since Will left eight years ago. I haven't been the same. I grew very depressed and stopped taking care of myself. I always thought about him. How he was doing and if he was alright. 

Not only that but my mom basically abandoned me for her new husband's children. I know I was eighteen but I still wanted her love. After all, I was broken. 

I became anorexic and depressed. My dad died. He was the best person, besides Will, in my life. And now he's gone. 

"So, I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch with me!" Diana said. "No, thanks," I replied with an eye roll. "I'm busy." A mad expression wiped over Sarah's face. "Good luck getting a lever with that attitude," she said. "Thanks but I don't want a lover," I said. 

Unless it's Will. 

The thought of him made me wanna cry. Why hadn't I kissed him when I got the chance? Maybe he'd still be here by my side. 

I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't even recognize it was closing time. I worked at a Walmart. I know lame. But it's the best I could do. I couldn't afford college so there's goes my dreams of being a veterinarian. I would always tell Will that's what I was going to do. He believed in me. And I failed. Will would be ashamed if he could see me now. 

I walked inside my disgusting tiny apartment. I sighed and walked to my room which was just a bed on the ground with no covers or pillows. I laid on the uncomfortable ripped bed and cried myself to sleep. Like I did every night.

*AXL'S POV!* 

Things have been going great since I left Indiana I formed a band with some of the most amazing people in my life. I've been a blast. I love my life a lot more than I did before. 

Only, I wish Diana could be here with me. I wish she could live this amazing life with me. I know she'd like it here. She loves the beach and California is full of those. Just the thought of her in a bikini relaxing on the beach drove me crazy. I couldn't ever forget her. She was perfect. 

I wonder how she's doing now. Is she a Vet like she always wanted to be? She loved animals. I wonder how she looks now. Probably gorgeous. I wonder- 

"Hey, Axl, you good man?" Slash asked tilting his head in confusion. 

I zoned out thinking of Diana. No woman ever filled my heart with the same love as Diana. And trust me. I tried. 

"I'm fine," I said shrugging. Slash slid me a shot and took it without hesitation. 

While my life was awesome and loved it. I was in so much pain without Diana. I began drinking and drugs. I wasn't proud of myself anymore. 

None of this would've happened if I just would've kissed her when I had the chance. She'd still be with me.
