My savior - Axl Rose fanfiction

Chapter 9 - Slash

The next morning, I woke up, taking a quick shower. After that, I decided I would try to look for a job, and maybe start driving school, since I still need my licenses. I looked up the requirements for that, and saw I had to go take a knowledge test. 

"Your up early." Izzy said, pouring himself some orange juice. "I want to get my driver's license." I said. He raised an eyebrow, before putting his glass down. "How much do you know?"

"That's the thing." I started, "I don't know anything."

"We can get a manual from the mall." He said. "Fine." He grabbed his key, and we went to the mall.

On the way there, I told him about what happened last night with Axl.

"Maybe it's a good thing, to reassess yourself, you know?" He said. I nodded, "I feel Slash is also mad though. I went to apologize to him yesterday, and he practically shut me out." Izzy sighed, "To be honest, I think Slash likes you." I froze, slowly facing him. "For real?" He nodded. "He just doesn't want to interfere with you and Axl. Mostly because of Axl."

I nodded, "I see why."

We got to the mall, and decided to make a few pit stops at different stores.

We were in the food court when I ran into somebody.

"Sorry-" I started, before I realised who it was. 

"Oh my god, Ashlyn?!" It was my old friend, Brooke, Chloe standing behind her. "It's been forever!" We hugged.

"Why did you stop talking to us?" Chloe asked. "Oh, it's a long story." I said quietly.

"How's Noah?" Brooke asked. I looked at the ground, "Gone."

They were both confused. I sighed, "He abused me." They both immediately became shocked. "He's dead now."

"So is that your new boyfriend?" Chloe pointed to Izzy. "No, he's just a-"

"Oh my god your Izzy from Guns N Roses!" They both squealed. "Your hanging out with-"

"I know." I nodded my head, before turning to Izzy, who was smiling. "Wait, have you met the other members?"

I nodded, "I'm dating Axl-" I stopped myself, "Well, we're taking a break, so maybe I'm not."

"Oh."

"Well, we need to get back." I gave them my phone number, before we left. We quickly got back home, and I went to the guest bedroom, where I slept last night, putting the book down on the bed. I went back out into the living room, where Steven and Axl sat, watching Cops. I walked into the kitchen, grabbing a drink, before going back to the room. After a while oh looking through the pages, I decided to watch tv. 

Halfway through the show, there was a knock on the door. I sighed, before getting up to open it.

It was Slash.

I let him come in, closing the door again. 

"I'm sorry about last night, I shouldn't have been rude." He said, sitting down on my bed. "It's fine, honestly."

"Did you and Axl actually break up?" I looked at him, suddenly remembering what Izzy said. "I don't know, he said take break, but I'm pretty sure we did." I sat down next to him. "I'm not surprised."

"You don't think it was because of that other night, was it?" I looked up at him, "I honestly don't know."

He just nodded, looking away. 

"What?" I asked, making him look back at me. "Nothing, it's just.." He paused, taking a deep breath. "It's nothing."

"Tell me." I said, stopping him from getting up. "Please?"

"I can't." He stood up, starting to walk over to the door. He paused halfway, before turning around.

"Fine, I like you, ok?" I stared at him, before walking over to him, kissing him. He was surprised for a second, but kissed me back, pinning me against the wall. He slowly moved down my neck, leaving a faint hickey. 

"Do you think we should be doing this?" I asked as he broke away. "Probably not." Yet, I found myself kissing him again, locking the door behind me. After a few minutes, we broke away, and cuddled on my bed, watching Hells Kitchen.

After a while, Duff knocked on the door, telling us dinner was ready.

"Wait." Slash said, as I got up, "Don't tell nobody about this." He pointed back and forth at us." I nodded, covering up the spot on my neck, "I won't, as long as you won't." He smiled, before following me out into the kitchen.

Dinner was awkward. It was mostly quiet, Slash and I kept making eye contact. 

After dinner, I helped Izzy wash dishes.

"So, you didn't kiss Slash again, did you?" He whispered, while washing the dishes. "Wha-no?" I said, putting leftovers in the fridge. He trned towards me, pointing to my neck, "Then explain that." I stared at the ground, "Exactly." Izzy said, turning back towards the dishes. "Axl just broke up with you."

"I know that." I snapped, earning a look from Izzy. "I just don't know where my mind is right now." I said quietly.

"Well, your going to have to choose, because Axl still likes you." I stared out the window, "I don't know what to do anymore."

"Just choose the one that makes you feel the most happy." I faintly smiled at Izzy, before walking back to my room.

This was going to be hell.
