My savior - Axl Rose fanfiction

Chapter 10 - There's Nothing Between Us

You smiled from across the room. I smiled back, before looking out the window, trying to control the butterflies in my stomach.

How were you so perfect?

"Come here." I stood up, walking over to sit next to you. You wrapped your arm around me, pulling me in for a kiss.

Everything about you was perfect.

You cared.

We broke away, and you smiled. I rested my head on your shoulder, taking in the smell of your cologne.

God, I love you.

......

I lay in bed, Izzy's words still repeating in my head.

Does Axl still care?

I never slept that night, so I was incredibly tired in the morning. I made coffee, drinking straight from the pitcher.

"What the hell are you doing?" Axl quickly took the pitcher away from me, setting it aside. "Noo, I need that." I pouted, but he moved it farther. "No, you don't." He grabbed a small cup, pouring some coffee in that, before handing me that. "There." I looked down at the cup, then back up at him, he smiled, before taking the rest of the coffee with him into the living room. I watched him sit down, before turning around, still one question on my mind.

I drank the cup, before going to take a shower. After the shower, I was greeted by Slash.

"Hey." I smiled back at him, "Hey." He quickly hugged me, before going to the kitchen. I stared at him, before going to my room.

......

You've always been there for me, even when you weren't in sight. Even when we've been through the toughest things, you still were there, you still cared. You make me feel happy.

Because you love me.

......

I walked passed Axl's room, peaking through the door as I did. He sat on his bed, blanket wrapped around him. God, I wish I was next to him.

Walking into the living room, where Duff and Slash sat. He smiled at me as I walked by. I smiled back, of course, but in the kitchen, I just felt guilty.

I then knew what I had to do.

I walked to Izzy's room, not bothering to knock.

"I made my choice."

......

Everyday, I think about you. Everywhere I go, I see you. I wonder if you feel the same about me? Sometimes, I wonder if you think about me at all.

But the way you smile, the way your eyes glimmer when you smile at me, shows me you care.

That's why I choose you.

......

I walked over to his bedroom door, hesitating.

"What if he-"

"Just talk to him." Izzy said. Before I could say anything else, he knocked on the door for me, and took off running. I stared, shocked.

"Ashlyn?" I turned towards the door, where Axl stood, confused. 

"We need to talk."

He let me in, sitting down on his bed. "I don't care what you think, but I still really, really, really," I paused, taking a deep breath, "I like you so much and I can't-"

He kissed me, taking me by surprise. I kissed him back, letting him throw me onto his bed, laying on top of me, still kissing me. 

"Remember what I said about taking a break?" Axl said between kisses. 

"Yeah?"

"I don't want that break no more."

I couldn't help but smile, letting Axl hug me. We stayed there for a few minutes, before he got off of me.

"Ima be right back." I said, quickly walking out the door, going to Slash's room.

"We need to talk." I said, shutting the door. "Yes?" He said, pausing his show. I sighed, sitting down at the end of his bed. "Look, we can't be a thing." I said, looking at the ground, "I like Axl, and we're getting back together." I paused, "Besides, if you and I ever dated, it would just cause more drama here then needed." I looked up at Slash, who looked hurt. 

"Oh." Was all he said. 

"Slash, I'm so-"

"You should leave." He said, interrupting me. "But-"

"Go, Ashlyn." He looked at the floor. "Please." He whispered. I sighed, getting up. I left, closing the door a little harder than I should've, causing me to flinch.

"What was that about?" Axl asked, peeking out his door. I shook my head, faintly smiling. "It's all good.

......

The next morning, I walked into the kitchen, to see Slash nearly passed out on the counter, holding a cup of coffee next to him.

"You good?" I asked, slowly walking passed him. He just looked at me, not moving. "Um, ok then?" I grabbed myself a bowl, pouring some cereal into it. 

I hurt him, I thought, looking back at Slash.

But I don't like him.

I think.

I paused, looking in the fridge.

Did I make the right choice?

I turned back around, to this noise of glass breaking. "Slash what the hell?!" I said. HIs hand was bleeding, broken glass surrounding him. I walked over to him, taking his hand. "What are you doing?" I said, getting him to stand up.

"I-i don't know. I don't even remember..." He looked around. "I was just in my room-"

"Hey," I made him look at me, "Calm down." He nodded, swallowing. I took his hand, leading him to the bathroom, where I washed his hand, wrapping bandage around his hand.

"Did you sleep at all?" I asked, cleaning up the mess in the bathroom. "No, not really."

"Well then, you need to sleep." I said, taking him to his bedroom.

"I didn't know you were my doctor." He said, laughing a little. I rolled my eyes, smiling a little, pushing him into his room. I started shutting the door, but he stopped me.

"Hey, wait." I looked at him. "Thank you." He said, before shutting the door. I stood there for a second, before turning around, where Axl stood.

"What the hell." He said, walking away. I stared at him, mouth open. "Axl. Seriously?" I followed him into the living room. He turned towards me. "I don't know what's going on anymore!" He threw his hands up. "There's nothing between me and Slash!" I yelled back. He stared at me, before going into the kitchen, taking his key, walking out the door.

"Axl-"
