Axl Rose's Daughter

Part 11.

As I feel a pair of arms around me I keep looking at the clock and see it's 4 in the morning.
I look over and see Jax still fully asleep and peacefully snoring when I decide to gently get out of bed. Sleep isn't an option for me tonight.
I walk into the kitchen and start rummaging through the cabinets and looking on the counter tops.
"Come on where the fuck is it..." I say out loud looking for my stash.
'Finally!' I think to myself as I find the little baggy I had been hiding under the silverware in a little pop out drawer.
I pull out the bag, a spoon, my lighter, and the needle before I sit back on the couch. I've been shooting between my toes to keep away visible track marks. It's instant relief that's brought to me as I lay back while my best friend Heroin takes over. I look in the mirror and watch my eyes dilate more, if it was even possible, to almost completely black as I smile to myself but it wasn't enough. Nothing ever felt enough. I walk back to the kitchen and grab another bag in my strung out daze before shooting up again. But this time it was different. I felt different. Something seemed off. I got up and started stumbling around, hitting walls left and right while knocking shit over.
"What the fuck is going on" I hear as I see a half asleep Johnny emerge from his room.
"Ivy..." he said to me rubbing his eyes but I couldn't respond. I felt my legs give out as I was trying to focus on him. It was in that moment that everything clicked, I mixed up the bags the first one heroin and the second being cocaine making an accidental speedball concoction.

"Ivy!" I heard from Johnny as I felt arms around me holding half of me up.
"What's going on...Jesus Christ! JAX! JAX!" I heard from Robbie and footsteps running towards me. My whole body felt like it went into paralysis, I couldn't move I couldn't speak. The only sense I had left was hearing. I could hear everything going on around me. I could hear the boys screaming, I footsteps running towards me. Everything.

"Ivy! Baby come on wake up, please wake up" I heard from Jax as he held my limp body close to him. All I felt was my body violently shaking.
"Call 911 she's having a seizure!" I heard from Jax as my body was convulsing and I felt liquid coming from the side of my mouth. Within a minute I had paramedics around me on a gurney running me to the ambulance and checking my vitals as I began shaking again.
"She's going into another seizure" I heard from an unfamiliar voice as I'm being stuck with more needles. Everything went black. My heart stopped.

Now my guess is that they brought me back considering I woke up a few seconds later.
"She's back, we have a heart beat"
"Ivy...Ivy, come on sweetheart you need to stay awake" said the paramedic over me as I struggled to keep my eyes open while they wheeled me into the emergency room.

"What do we got?" I heard from the doctor running next to me.
"17 year old with a dug overdose, heart stopped for 30 seconds and brought back after a dose of Narcan. Stabilized vitals but occasional seizures...shit" he said after i went into convulsions again.

After 2 hours of people poking and prodding at me I found myself laying in a bed with oxygen on. Still barely awake I hear yelling in the hall to whom it sounded like Jax.
"Can I please see my girlfriend?" He begged the nurses and doctors who sighed and walked him over to my room.
"Hey baby girl..." I heard in a soft voice as I felt a finger trace down my cheek.
"She looks so peaceful.." said Robbie
"Yeah she does" whispered Johnny. They sat with me and talked as I began to flicker my eyes open and look around.
"Look who's awake!"
"Jackson..." I groggily whispered out.
"Yeah baby, I'm here" he said to me softly touching my hair. He stared at me for a moment before he heard screaming in the hall making him turn around and see our dads standing there, my dad in particular being held back by my uncle as he screamed and pushed passed people.
"Jax, she's having another seizure" Robbie said as my body began uncontrollably shaking and all of the monitors were going off.
Doctors rushed in and pushed the boys out of the room and the last thing I saw was Jax being held by his dad while he cried.

I was put, in what I could only assume, induced coma while my body fought off the remainder of the drugs in my system. Even being medically knocked out I still had the ability to hear what was happening around me. I heard the doctor explain to my family and friends that they found mass amounts of heroin and cocaine in my system along with many other drugs that I couldn't give you the technical names for even if I tried.
I heard the crying from Jax, my father, my uncle, Johnny and Robbie. I heard the stories of Slash and Nikki about their overdoses. My boyfriend telling my dad and uncle how he had no idea about my addiction when it was right under his nose.

"I love you so much Ivy.." I heard him say as he stroked my hair. I don't know what snapped in me but I was able to start opening my eyes but would close them again when I would see how bright it was.
"Jax...Jax! Look!" I heard Johnny whisper over to Jackson as he was turned around. I opened my eyes again and mutter something behind my oxygen mask.
"Jesus Christ Ivy! She's awake!" Robbie yelled out running to get the doctors as Jax bent down giving me a hug with tears streaming down his face.
"Miss. Rose? Miss. Rose can you hear me?" I heard from the doctor standing next to my bed with the nurses checking my vital signs as I grunted.
"...yes..." I muttered out with barely a voice.
"Do you know where you are?" The doctor asked softly as I nodded my head.
"Where are you Miss. Rose?"
"..hospital.." I barely got out.
"Good, and can you tell me your name?" He asked again
"Ivy...Isabelle...Rose" I got out with a burning sensation in my throat before I started gagging and throwing up as the doctor quickly took off my mask and leaned me on my side while holding a bin next to my face.
"Get out whatever you need to Miss. Rose this is normal" he said to me before laying me on my back again. He got up once I was done and started talking to my Dad and Uncle as Jax sat next to me.
"You're so pale.." he said to me choking out a smile and laugh. I smiled lightly at him.
"I'm cold" I whispered
"Want me to get you another blanket?" He asked as I shook my head. A moment later the nurse brought me a heated blanket and laid it on top of me.
"When can I come home..." I asked Jax as he held my hand.
"In an hour if you're lucky" my dad said walking in the room sitting down next to us with my Uncle Duff and Slash behind him.
"But you're coming home with me" he added as my face dropped.
"It's what's best for right now"
"You can't do that..." I said with my scratchy voice
"Ivy you're 17 I very well can do that"
"No, you can't if anything I'm supposed to stay with Duff" I said getting upset. Duff sighed and put his head down.
"Ivy, we think it's best if you stay with your dad now. You'll be able to spend more time together and maybe he can help you with what you're going through"  he said.
"I don't need help..."
"Yes... you do" my dad replied
"No, I don't" I said back to him.
"Does what I want not matter? To any of you people?" I asked now shouting.
"I don't mean to interrupt anything, but her discharge papers are ready" the nurse said as my dad got up to sign them.
"Jackson you can't let them do this" I said to him
"I'm sorry babe, but maybe it is what's best for right now" he said
"So you're giving up on me too...and you guys?" I said pointing over to Johnny and Robbie in the corner. They just hung their heads low.
"Wow. Just wow. The people who I thought would be there through thick and thin are just dropping me like that"
"Babe it's not like that we just want you to get bet.."
"Better right? Didn't realize I was such a problem. Get out" I said to them getting pissed off as I began sitting up and ripping the IV out of my arm.
"Ivy.." said Jax
"I SAID GET OUT!" I yelled getting up and walking into the bathroom to change before I stormed out of the room.
"Get me the fuck out of here" I said to my dad as he chased after me down the hall.

"Ivy wait up" he said finally catching up to me
"Unless you have something meaningful to say other than making me feel like I'm the problem then don't talk to me" I said as I sat in the car dreading the ride home. My dad was talking to me but honestly I couldn't tell you what he was saying. I was too zoned out as I began itching my arms when we walking in the house.
"Ivy stop it" he said trying to pull my hands away from trying to claw my skin off.
"Fuck, fuck, FUCK!" I said as I couldn't shake the feeling.
"Ivy knock it off!" He said finally pulling my own hands off me as I began to cry and collapsed to the floor as he caught me.
"Shhh it will be ok, it will go away"
"Make it stop!" I cried into him as he rubbed my back. I finally calmed down as he carried me to my room to lay down.
" I don't need a baby sitter dad" I said to him as he sat in the chair of the corner of my room
"Clearly you do" he said watching me as he sat back.
I rolled my eyes at him as I got up.
"Where are you going?" He asked
"To change? Do you want to watch me do that too?" I asked as he sighed and shook his head.
I changed into one of the oversized Guns N' Roses shirts from my closet and a pair of bike shorts before coming back out and laying down.
"You want to talk about anything?" my dad asked
"No I want to go to sleep..." I said feeling my eyes heavy.
"Are you going to stay there all night?" I ask him as I face the wall
"Yes ma'am I am" he said laughing. I groaned and tried to get some sleep.
This was going to be a long ass night.
