The Secret Child (Axl Rose FanFic)

Part 9.

"Lily....dinners ready" I heard from a small knock behind my door.
"I'm not hungry" I groaned out rolling back over in bed. The door slowly opened with Axl appearing in my room.
"Come on, you've been in here for 3 days and you have barely eaten anything" he softly spoke but with a hint of concern in his voice. I slowly got out of bed and went over to the bathroom without saying a word. I sat my hands on the counter and leaned forward sighing and digging for an answer within myself as to why I couldn't pull myself from this rut I was in. With no luck I sucked in everything breath and thought I could and walked back out to my room.
"Let's go eat" I said walking past him and down the hall to the stair case.
Dinner was quiet, despite my fathers efforts of trying to strike up any conversation he could. I mainly just ignored him, not because I didn't care, but simply because I was in my own little world.
We finished eating as I stood up and grabbed both of our plates putting them in the dishwasher after cleaning up the kitchen.
Being dressed fairly comfortable I decided to put my shoes on.
"Plans?" Axl asked seeing me stand back up.
"I think I might just go on a walk" I replied before grabbing my phone and walking out the front door.

I didn't know where I was going, truthfully I didn't care either. Following my feet wherever they took me, I found myself at a park sitting on a bench. I stayed within my thoughts watching the sun go down as I felt my phone go off with texts from Jake asking what I was up to and how I was doing, without a second thought I pinned to him where I was at and sat my phone down. Not realizing how long it had been he had shown up and sat next to me.

"What's cookin good lookin?" He asked making me smile a little.
"Not much, just trying to get away is all" I replied as I looked at him.
"Ahh that makes sense....did you have dinner yet?"
"I did why?" I answered to him as he smiled.
"Ok well since you ate already how about we go get ice cream" he suggested as I looked at him curiously.
"Are you asking me on a date Mr. Hudson?" I laughed a little as he smiled.
"Unless you don't want it to be" he smiled, cutting my eyes at him I thought for a moment.
"Well, I'm not really dressed appropriately for a date Jake" I said pointing out my cropped red tshirt with high rise black workout leggings. Rolling his eyes he looked at me taking my hand and pulling me up.
"Come on you look fine, let's go" he replied smiling as we walked to his car. Putting music on we drove to ColdStone Creamery where we got our ice cream and sat outside on the trunk of his car talking.
"You gonna tell Axl about this?" I asked him as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Should I?" He replied
"Well, considering when I moved in he told me one of his only rules was to not bring guys home, it might be a good idea" I chuckled out.
"Really? What were his other rules?" He questioned
"Don't bring any guys home, don't get arrested, and don't do anything illegal pretty much"
"Oh so pretty much everything that normal teenagers do" he laughed out
"Yeah minus the getting arrested part" I laughed in return.
"I don't know, I've been pretty close to being cuffed"
"Yeah but did you end up in jail?" I asked
"Nope, got away"
"Then it doesn't count" I laughed. Feeling my phone go off I see a text from Axl asking what I was doing.

"We should probably get going..." I said realizing how late it was getting and seeing that we were done eating.
"I guess you're right" he agreed as we got in the car and he drove me home. It wasn't a long drive but it was relaxing, pulling into the driveway I felt almost as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders some as I got out of the car and walked in the house.

"Who dropped you off?" My dad asked as I closed the door.
"Jake took me out for ice cream" I said smiling a little as I looked down.
"Really?" He asked curiously
"Yes Dad is that alright?" I said looking back up at him as he smiled at me.
"Yeah sweetie...that's alright" I walked over and gave him a hug before walking back up stairs and taking a shower before going to bed.
