Faded Memories (Guns N Roses - Izzy / Axl / OC)

Family Business

Melissa

This was fucking ridiculous. I felt like a god damn Teenager and my mother summoning me downstairs like a little kid, didn't help at all. Jesus, I was fucking mad.
Adjusting my skirt and the hectically pulled on shirt, I stepped down the stairs to the dining room. My mother on my heels.
I opened the door and held it open to her. As soon as she past me, I slammed the door shut and glared at her.
'What the fuck was that about?' I yelled at her. Damn, I was sick of being treated like a child.
'Don't take that tone with me, young lady.' Mom hissed.
'Damn, mom! This thing concerns me too, you know? Why does everyone act like I wasn't part of this?'
Mom sighed and ran a hand through her hair.
'Jesus, Melissa. Axl Rose? Seriously? What on gods earth were you thinking, honey?' She looked at me, confused.

This was a fucking nightmare. Why kept everyone asking me things like that? Like Axl was some god damn serial killer or something.
'You know what, mom? I actually like him. I like him because he's sensitive, he's caring and he's a fucking wild lover.' I was about to explode. 'Is this so impossible to understand?'
She looked at me sadly.
'Honey, he's way over fifty. How's this gonna turn out?'
'I don't fucking care, mom. He's everything the boys at my age aren't.' I responded, waving my hands hectically.
Then I could see exactly when it hit her.
'Oh my god. Please don't tell me you're in love with him?' She said as she covered her mouth with her hand, looking at me in shock.

Luckily I never had to answer that question, even though I had a feeling that this was more a statement than a question, because suddenly Aunt Alice, Slash, Duff and Steven appeared in the dining room. Holy shit. I totally forgot about them.
'What on earth is going on, Ana? Why is everyone yelling in this house for fucks sake?' Alice asked, putting her hands on her hips.
Duff let out a huge sigh, running a hand over his face while Slash eyed us suspiciously.
'Izzy is upstairs with Axl?' Duff asked. I gave him a nod. 'Holy shit...'
'That fucking moron is going to get himself killed.' Slash mumbled.
April looked at us, confused.
'Ana? What is this?' She asked again.
Mom just shook her head.
'Melissa?' Alice turned to me. 'God, damn. Would someone just tell me what is going on here already?'

For fucks sake. Aunt Alice was fucking annoying. She'd never give up on this.
'Izzy and mom ran into me and Axl fucking upstairs. Enough heard now? God...' I snapped.
'Melissa!' Mom cried out.
'What???'
'What???' Alice and Steven cried out simultaneously.
'This was only a matter of time, kiddo.' Duff chuckled.
'My words, man. Exactly my words.' Slash added.
Mom looked at them furiously.
'You two knew about this? How long has this been going on?' She asked.
Slash flinched and took his hands up in defense.
Duff shook his head. 'Damn, woman. You've got to be blind not to notice how these two were eyefucking each other all the time.'

Were they fucking kidding me? God, this was a total nightmare.
Suddenly my family and the whole fucking band were discussing my relationship with Axl. At the same time I was wondering what kind of relationship we really had.
I had to admit: They all had a point. Where the fuck was all that heading? Damn, even I wasn't sure what I was expecting. Marriage? Kids? Nahh... I was way too young for thoughts like this, right?
I just wanted some fun with my hot rockstar boyfriend.
Wow, so we're talking boyfriend now? Strange shit.

All I knew was that I just didn't want to miss him from my life. And if they thought all they could get to separate us, they would get to know me. I'd never let that happen.
Just as I prepared to put on a fight, the door opened and Izzy got into the room.
Oh fuck. I hoped he didn't knock Axl out or something.
He looked at me for a second. I had no fucking clue how to feel about this.
'You have any idea what it feels like seeing your daughter getting screwed on the table? Not to mention the fact that it was my best friend who got his dick inside her?' He asked madly. This might have been a rhetorical question. So I just kept looking at him silently as my mom gave him a snort.
'Hah, welcome to my world.' She said.
Izzy blinked. 'What the fuck is wrong with you? Can't you just date guys your age? Damn.'
He seemed lost and I couldn't help loving him. Izzy might have been a fucking rockstar, but in the end he was just my dad. That dad I never had but always wished for.

'Aren't girls supposed to date guys that are just like their dads?' I chuckled.
'But not the same AGE, Mel!' He waved his hands. 'Damn, girl. I know this guy my whole life. I saw him doing shit. Things a father shouldn't know about the guy dating his little girl.' He ran his hands over his face.
'Izz... Dad...' I started and saw Izzy's eyebrows shoot up. Yeah. This was the first time I called him "Dad". It was totally unintentional. And suddenly I had nothing more to say.
Izzy gave me a small smile.
'You should go and talk to him.' He said. 'He's pretty messed up.'
'What did you do to him?' I asked anxiously.
Izzy shrugged. 'He deserves a pretty good beat up, you know? But it's way more difficult than that. I've never seen him like this. It's pretty scary.'
