Axl Rose's Daughter

Part 24.

*5 MONTHS LATER*

"IVY! ANY COMMENT ON THE CASE FINALLY BEING CLOSED?"
Reporters were everywhere as Jax, my family, and I walked out of the court house.
"No comment" I said with my sun glasses down as Jax led me to the car.
"AXL, SLASH! ANY COMMENTS ON WHAT HAPPENED?"
"No comment, just relieved this is all over" my dad said getting in the limo with all of us.
"Thank god this is over" I said looking out the window. 5 months. It took them 5 months to identify, find, and convict the 4 people who assaulted and raped me in Las Vegas.

"Celebrating tonight?" Slash asked looking at Jax and I
"We can, do you want to go out tonight babe?" He asked looking at me.
"I'm sorry what?" I replied as I wasn't paying attention.
"Did you want to go out tonight?" He asked again
"Uhm....sure I guess" I said going back to staring out the window.
"Are you ok Ivy?" Asked slash sitting across from us.
"Yeah, I'm fine" I said turning back to him with a small smile. Was I fine? No. It was one of those days that would be a recovering addicts worst nightmare. All I wanted to do was get high, I'm stressed, I'm tired and sleep deprived, going to court for a 3 day trail has me beaten down. My body instantly starts craving what it can't have the moment something bad happens. Being sober off drugs fucking sucks. Alcohol is ok but it doesn't do the same. However, alcohol doesn't cause me to have seizures like the drugs do. So that's a plus I guess.

"You want to talk about it?" My dad asks so I thought for a moment. Did I want to talk about it? No. Should I talk about it? Probably.
"Well...no I don't but I will"
"Then what is it?" He asked
"I'm just.. well, after these last few days I'm struggling. Having to sit in that room and relive everything hasn't been easy and it's making me just want to turn around and get high to try and make it all go away when I know that's not the answer." I replied looking at them.
"Ivy, we know the struggles of addiction and it's not easy. Nothing you have gone through this last year and half has been easy. But it will get better, you just have to fight through that feeling of giving in. We love you, your daughter loves you. Keep being strong baby girl." My dad said lifting my chin up smiling.
"I love you dad" I replied
"I love you too" he responded.

It was 8 and Jax and I put Harlow down for bed.
"You sure you're up for going out tonight babe?" Jax asked me.
"Yeah babe, it should be fun. And I feel better after talking to everyone earlier" I replied with a smile
"That's good baby, I'm proud of you" he said giving me a kiss. We walk downstairs of my dads house where Harlow was staying tonight to be greeted by Johnny and Robbie were waiting at the door.
"Bye dad! We'll see you in the morning" I yelled to him as he was in the living room.

"Well don't you look adorable" said Johnny leaning against the door.
"Adorable?" I asked as I looked down at my crop top and shorts.
"Yeah...adorable" he repeated with a laugh.
We got in the car and made our way to the Whiskey to watch some bands and have a few drinks.

"Are you having fun babe?" Jax asked as we were turned from the bar watching the stage with Johnny and Robbie in front of us.

"Yeah! They're really good!" I responded before turning around and grabbing my drink. I scrunched my face at the taste but passed it off since I hadn't drank in awhile. I was watching the show with Jax standing against the bar as I started swaying. Something was off. I almost fell over but instead grabbed on to Jax.
"You alright babe" he said looking at me.
"Yeah maybe it's just the alcohol" I said shrugging it off.
"Babe are you sure?" He asked as I swayed more looking right into the light.
"Damn look at her eyes, Ivy you ok?" He asked now turning around to us.
"N...No" I said before my body went limp with Jax catching me before I hit the ground.
"Ivy! Ivy, wake up" I heard him say as my body went into a horrible seizure.
"FUCK! IVY! CALL 911!!!" Jax yelled as the bartender picked up the phone.
"Ivy, come on babe" Jax said as my body convulsed and foam began to come out of my mouth. I felt Jax feel around his pockets to look for my medicine but it wasn't there.
"Fuck! Ivy come on baby stay with me please stay with me" I felt my body start slipping away as paramedics show up.
"She's not breathing! Why isn't she breathing" Jax began crying over me. Cops pulled him off of me as paramedics started to check my vital signs being unsuccessful.
"NOO!!!! THATS MY WIFE!!!!" He cried out trying to push back over but to no avail.

I died. You see I was finally in a good place mentally and physically especially in my recovery, but while my back was turned someone had slipped a lethal amount of heroin into my drink causing the overdose from hell. Since my body could no longer handle any drug usage I suffered a seizure and a massive stroke which ultimately killed me. I'm 19 years old. I left behind a 6 month old daughter, a loving husband, and a family stronger than anyone else.

My name is Ivy Isabelle Hudson, and I was Axl Roses daughter.
