Make Me Smile || Kurt Cobain

Chapter 14 - The Redhead That Wears The Crown

Axl

Am I not just the most badass person ever? I was able to track and locate my long lost sister in just two weeks. Best brother ever!

Granted she's with that psycho Kurt Cobain and his psycho band but hey, you take what you can get.

"That went well" Izzy finally broke the ice as he was driving me home. Neither of us got drunk or in Izzy's case, stoned because they both had to be fully functioning the next day.

The others on the other hand, well...

"Yeah I suppose it did. It just bugs me that she's in Nirvana though. I mean won't she be better off with us?" I asked. Izzy rolled his eyes.

"Probably but she seems happy there. Plus Cobain's got his claws in deep it'll take a miracle for him to let go" Izzy said smirking. I groaned.

"Tell me they're not a thing. Tell me" I pleaded with disgust.

"I sure as well hope not." Izzy said.

"Huh?"

"Cause... I dunno. It's been long since I've seen little Ashlyn and well, she's not so little anymore. There's a gap that just disappeared into thin air and well, it's kinda weird even thinking about her with someone else you know?" Izzy said.

"You just made no sense, you know that?" I said amused. Izzy smiled and shrugged. "And well, I doubt I'd even be able to stop her from doing anything even if she wanted to. She's eighteen and other than that I just found her... I'm not gonna fuck it up and be a lousy big brother" I declared.

"That's awesome man." Izzy said as he pulled into my drive way.

"Thanks man, make sure to come bright and early tomorrow" I pleaded.

"Sure thing. And what about the others? When are you gonna tell them?" Izzy asked. I shrugged.

"Soon, I wanna settle things with Ashlyn first. It's been a long eight years" I said with a sigh. And it was all my fault.

"Do you still feel guilty?" Izzy asked.

"Well yeah, if I hadn't left I wouldn't have missed out on most her formative years"

"True. And she formed well alright" Izzy said slyly gaining a glare from me. "What? She's nice, talented, funny and seems smart too"

That just made me narrow my eyes more at him. He rolled his.

"I don't have eyes for your sister man. I mean I knew her when she was a kid. Gross" Izzy said. I still kept my eyes narrowed at him, those big brother instincts kicking in.

But ultimately, I knew Izzy wasn't a threat.

"I know you'd never think of doing anything with my sister" I said dropping the act.

"Good. Freak show"

Ashlyn

Either I was high on Adrenalin or anxiety, one of them... I couldn't sleep.

Everything that happened today, everything felt so surreal. From the party, to the performance, to meeting William, uh... Axl again. Whatever. Never could I have imagined that I'd see my brother again.

Or that he'd be part of a world famous band. He looked completely different.

But ultimately I was completely grateful.

With all those thoughts in my head, I picked up my phone and dialed the first number which came to my mind and surprise surprise, he was awake.

"Ashlyn, missed me that much already?" Axl's cocky voice sounded from the other line. I rolled my eyes.
