Since I Was Torn From You (Axl Rose)

Five

*AXL'S POV!*

I was half asleep when I felt Diana's soft lips on mine. But they were gone as soon as they came. I wished I could just jump up and grab her face and kiss her with so much passion that she knew I loved her. 

But that would be a stupid idea. I could scare her and cause her to have a panic attack. I wouldn't want that so I decided to confess my love for her another time. 

At least I could hold her close to me. She looked so gorgeous. The shirt only covered her ass and didn't go any further. She looked hot. It made me crave her more. But there was a problem. She was so skinny. I could feel her bones when I held her. And when I hugged her for the first time in eight years, I could feel her ribs. That wasn't right. I could tell she wasn't happy. And I wanted to help her. To fix her. Maybe I could. 

The light shined brightly the next morning. I sat up and saw Diana sitting on the side of the bed brushing her hair. "Good morning," I said groggily. Diana looked at me and smiled. "Morning," She said. 

Fuck, she was so cute. Her voice was so soft. I missed her. 

"So, what are we doing today?" Diana asked. "We're going back to L.A. And this time you're coming with me," I said. Diana smiled as she crawling into bed and hugged me. "I'm so excited," she said. I wrapped my arms around her. "You're going to love it there," I said. 

In all honesty though. I was worried about her. She was clearly in pain. And bringing her to a place with drugs and bars might not be the best idea. But I'm not going to leave her again. She'll be even more hurt than she was before. 

We climbed aboard the plane after I introduced Diana to my bandmates. I could tell he loved them and they liked her. 

We arrived in L.A. and I took Diana to my house. It was big but not too big. there were three bedrooms two baths. A pool in the back, a big living room, nice furniture. It wasn't a mansion. It was just a nice house. 

"Wow," Diana breathed. "It's beautiful. And I'll be staying here!" I chuckled. "I figured I can take you out to eat at my favorite restaurant tonight," I said. Diana's face fell at the thought of eating. "Uhm...." she started. "Please, Dee, you'll love it," I begged knowing she wouldn't turn me down. "Okay," Diana said quietly. "Great! Oh, we'll have to take you out to get some nice clothes!" I said. "Really!" Diana asked her hazel eyes lighting up. I nodded. "Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!" Diana said happily as she grabbed my hand and lead me out of the house. 

We went to the mall and Diana dragged me to the dress section. "Wow!" she said. "Look at this one!" Diana pulled out a yellow sundress that I knew she'd look lovely in. "Alright, you keep looking I'll be right back," I said. She nodded and continued looking through the dresses. 

I walked over to the jewelry section. "Can I have that ring and those necklaces? With the names Axl and Diana on them?" I asked. The guy only nodded. "Another girl?" he asked. I rolled my eyes at his remark. "I wonder how long this will last," he said. 

I really wanted to yell at him or attack him. But I didn't wanna get kicked out of the store so I didn't. He handed me the bag with the necklaces and ring in it. The ring had her beautiful aquamarine birthstone on it. One of the necklaces had a heart that had her birthstone and her name and my birthstone and name. The other ring was a diamond ring and the necklace was a gold one. It was perfect. 

I walked back to the clothes section and I didn't see Diana. I looked all around for her. But I just couldn't find her. She then came out of the dressing room and hung the dresses up. "What's wrong, Dee?" I asked. "I... I... I'm too fat," Diana said. "No, you aren't you're beautiful!" I said hugging her. "So get all the dresses you love! Because tonight we're going out and you're going to look beautiful." "R-r-really?" Diana asked. "Really," I said rubbing her back. 

Diana picked out the dresses and we went to pay for them. I'll make sure to give her a night she'll remember.
