I woke up to the smell of bacon being sizzled, my eyes were blurring lifting my head off the soft pillow I wiped the sleep from my eyes, that's when I finally noticed where I was, beer cans and burned out cigarettes littered the desk,leather and denim jackets hung up on the door. Slash, fuck how did I end up here. I stumbled out of bed fixing the rolled up fabric on the t-shirt I was somewhat wearing, checked the time 10:26am and walked out into the hallway down to the bathroom closing the door behind me. I leant my hands agains the sink, holding my self up, the reflection in the mirror was awful is all I can say. My hair was a mess tangled and half up in a bun still, my makeup had smudged half way down my face and I had one of two earrings actually in my ear. I took out the earring tossing it on the counter, put my hair up semi-neatly and wiped away my makeup. I glared in the mirror looking back was my half decent looking self, I turned the knob on the door as it clicked I swung it open making my way to the kitchen.

Shielding my eyes from the bright light coming for my the open curtains, I took a seat on the bar stool sat under the kitchen island as I sat down causing the chair to squeak, duffs head of bleached hair appeared, giving me a small smile before throwing me a bottle of water.

"Hey kid, how ya feeling" he asked turning back to his bacon, flipping it over.

"Like shit,where's Lola" I asked

"Asleep"

"God, how can she still be asleep with all the racket your making in here" I chuckled

"She won't be waking up anytime soon,let just say she's exhausted from the work out a gave her last night" he smirked

"God don't say that ever again, I think I'm gunna be sick"I acted disgusted both breaking out into a fit of laughter before we heard the front door swing open and slam. slash walked in beelining straight past us.

"Hey man want some bacon?"duff offered

"Nah man" was all slash said, walking straight past me without even looking my direction

"What's up his ass today"I shrugged

"I don't know" he sighed "you probably, I think you pissed him off"he laughed

"Oh god was I really that bad last night" I cringed

"Kinda, I mean if that's how you wanna put it" he chucked

I mentally faced palmed myself how do I always end of embarrassing my self while wasted, no more drink from now on, I tell myself before sliding off the kitchen stool and slowly walking down the hall knocking on slashes door.

"Who is it"

"It's me Saul, can I come in"I asked softly

I heard a slight mumble escape his lips gesturing for me to enter the room as I did I saw him sat down on his bed, Pandora slithering up his arm. I smiled to myself.

"I'm just gunna get my dress and I'll be out of here" i huffed

He didn't say anything, this awkward silence lingered in the air for quite some time as I began picking up my dress and folding into a neat pile placing my heels on top of it. I know what I did the other day was shitty but you have to understand how upset I was, hell, I don't know if I can trust him again, my walls have gone up and I'm not gunna let myself be vulnerable around people anymore. But that being said, I can't let him leave my life, I need him with me. I picked up the phone placed on the dresser, dialling a cab number to be picked up.

"I can drop you off" he said

"You sure I don't wan-"

"Yep I'm heading that way anyway,c'mon" he said placing Pandora back in her tank, grabbing his keys and putting his boots on and out the door we went.

The car ride was extremely quite as you might of guessed, with nothing but the sounds of the radio playing quietly in the background. I sat with my hands of my thighs, tapping along to the beat of the music when we finally pulled into my drive. I sat there for a moment before picking up the clothes I had set on the dashboard and climbing out of the car, I turned my head around seeing slash still in the car. I placed my arms resting on the opened window, leaning forward.

"So where are you heading"I asked

"Oh erm, just picking up popcorn and heading down to the studio" he said lighting up a cigarette before turning off the engine. I gave him a tight lipped smile, i began to walk to my front door.

"Hey em" he shouted

I smiled to myself, turning around shooting him a confused look, this is the moment where he admits he undying love for me and how he wants me back.

"Yep"

"Can I uhh, use your toilet" he smiled "please"

"Uh yeah,yeah sure"

Or not.

Slash has finished his business, I heard him coming down the stairs as I laid on the sofa flicking though the channels on the tv finally landing on MTV.

"Thanks" slash said hovering next to the couch I was sitting on

"It's okay" I smiled

"Hey um, I've got you something" he hummed, sitting down on the couch next to me, shuffling in his pockets picking out a little black box. My eyes widened as I sat up on my knees, before he spoke.

"I just wanted to let you know how special you are to me and being away from you for so long has made me realise how much I need you in my life em, what I did to you was terrible I know and I'll spend everyday proving to you that I can be better and I will be better for you." I started to tear up, he opened the box a shiny ring with a small purple stone sat in the box. "This is a promise ring and it's for you I promise to never hurt you again, your the only one for me Mia" his smile trembling and was that I tear I saw?!

I didn't know what to say I was so overwhelmed with happiness, the tears streamed down my face as I beamed down at the box infront of me, grabbing a hold of the ring and placing it on my finger, I looked up at slash our eyes meeting, I placed my lips upon his, before pulling away.

"Thank you Saul" I cried "you don't know how much this means to me"

"I love you" he kissed my lips

"I love you too"

I wiped my eyes holding the smile on my lips, I held out my pinky.

"Em what's are you doing" he laughed

"You have to pinky promise me" I smiled

"Em I got you promise ring for that reaso-"

"Pinky.promise." I said holding a stern look on my face, furrowing my eyebrows

He gave me a small huff placing his pinky on mine and wrapping his around my finger.

"I pinky promise"
