If someone asked me what my opinion was on the lead singer & frontman of Guns N' Roses, W. Axl Rose, I'd tell them that he changed my life in the best way possible.....

4/11/87

It was around 8 AM in the morning when I heard a knocking on my apartment door which was a few blocks from the sunset strip itself. Little did I know, my guy best friend who is the lead singer & frontman of Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose, was the one banging on my door.

Axl and I go way back, like way way back since I was 12 and he was 13 and living in Lafayette Indiana.
Even though I was one year younger than Axl, I took care of him when shit hit the fan at his house, which was 2 houses away from mine. When he was 17 and I was 16, we hitchhiked and took rides all the way from Indiana to Los Angeles California, where we now reside. And the two of us have been inseparable ever since.

Back onto the loud door knocking, I finally got my ass out of bed. I was a complete mess. My black hair was a rat's nest and looked like I shoved my finger into a light socket. I really didn't care how I looked. I put on my white slippers, throwing my bedroom door open as I walked down the cold hallway, into the living room and right to the front door. I peeked out the blinds, trying to see the figure at my door, who I noticed instantly. I unlocked the front door, opening it to see the familiar sight of the strawberry-blonde haired man I've known all my life. He was wearing a white tank, his ripped blue jeans, one of his multiple pairs of black shades. Of course, he was accessorized with a few bracelets & some rings. The strong smell of cigarettes filled my airways as he stood on my front doorstep

"Morning sleepy head." Axl said with a deep chuckle. He took off his shades and placed them on the top of his head.

I shook my head as I ran my fingers through my hair, looking at the 5'9 figure I'm always used to seeing. "I literally just woke up so you can't blame me". I said with a soft laugh, as I rubbed my eyes.

Axl chuckled, putting his hands in his pockets. "Well, aren't ya gonna let me in?" He asked, staring into my brown eyes.

"You haven't even told me what you came over for, Ax!!" I said, giving into his demands for wanting to come inside, as I opened my front door a little wider.

He chuckled deeply, letting himself in, as I closed the door once he set foot into my living room.

"Now, where was I?" He asked, plopping onto my couch

"Going to tell me the reason you came over?" I simply stated, placing my hands on my hips.

"Oh yeah, now I remember! So, uh, how would ya like to toss on some clothes and take a drive with me today? Y'know, windows down, wind blowing through our hair, n' music blasting. Just me n' you..." he asked with a genuine smile, which made me smile as well, as I looked over at him.

I put my hand to my chin, debating on what to say to the green-blue eyed man. "Give me about 15 minutes to find something to put on, and I'll be glad to take a drive with ya, Ax..." I said, brushing my hair back with my hand.

"Perfect..." was all he said. Before I headed down the hallway and to my bedroom to find something to get changed into.

Axl's Pov:

I watched Gracie as she walked down the hallway, she really was my best friend. I sat on her couch as thoughts raided my mind. "God, she really is pretty", "what the actual fuck? Am I falling for my best friend?", "should I say something?". The thoughts were overwhelming me and my heartbeat  really began to quicken as I thought about Gracie as she got dressed in her bedroom.
