Changing Love/Axl Rose/

Chapter 25

I had been sitting in this plane for only 30min, but it was already hell. We had just taken off and there were business men and little kids with tired mums all over the place, this is not what I signed up for. I took out my phone to put in some music, I went to youtube to look up this band Pearl Jam that were apparently a big thing these days. The first song that came up was Alive, and since I had heard lots of people talk about that song I decided to listen to that one. The guitar started playing, I closed my eyes, this is the kind of music I needed right now. After the song ended I could only think about those lyrics, what a miserable thing to do to a kid. I went to my music library and put all my songs on shuffle Waiting For The War by ADS came on, one of my favourite punk songs. I closed my eyes again and tried to sleep for these 3.5 hours. After about 2 hours I woke up because some kid started yelling, great. It's fine though, that's just how kids are, gotta deal with it. I sat up strait and kinda got back to my senses. I had a good 2 hours of sleep there, 1.5 hours left here. The lady with the drinks and food came by and I asked for a coke.

After about 4 hours the plane landed and I got off, I got my luggage and got in a taxi. I gave the quite handsome man the address I had to go to and knocked on the door of my best friend's house. She opened the door and couldn't believe what she saw. We had been apart for 5 years. "Hi Sky, oh my god, good to see you.'' "Can I come in?" I asked with all my luggage in my hands. "Yeah of course, damn, hand me some of that" she said. I handed her one of my bags. We sat down in her living room.
"what brings you here?" she asked. "I got really fed up with all the drama going on with the band and me with that and I needed to get away from that place." "Indiana welcomes you" that made me laugh. "Did you and that dude break up?" "yes we did, he cheated a few times and I was just done" "oh don't act like you never cheated, we all cheat." "okay yes maybe I kissed a guy, but it wasn't like that, he kissed me." "Where are you staying?" "I literally just got here, I don't have anywhere to stay." "you're not gonna go back to your parents, I assume?" "no thanks" "you can stay here, if you want." "for sure?" "yeah totally" "Thanks a lot" "no problem" she said and smiled. "How was LA though?" "hmm... the weather is great and most of the people are great, except for the rockstars. They only leave you with an undescribable feeling in the pit of your stomach" "explain that one please" "okay so I think Axl is kinda obvious, but when Izzy kissed me it was so weird, like, I still can't describe the feeling. It was good but felt so wrong. And Duff, don't get me started, he is fucking amazing, I love him, he had always been there for me and he is so nice and truly cares about people around him. When we kissed at the air port today it was magical, I've been waiting for that all my life. I always thought that no one was gonna be better and I had always seen Duff as a best friend until the past couple of weeks. I don't know I'm rambling sorry." "you kissed Izzy?" "yeah...?" "he is like my favorite human being on the whole world, I am his biggest fan for real." "are you really?" "yeah! he is such a babe, so mysterious" "he killed a man" it was silent for a moment, Kayli couldn't believe what I had just said. "he what?" she asked "he killed a man, a drugs dealer who tried to rape me" "okay so it was a good deed he did" "no, he killed a man, that's never good" "how was kissing him tho?" "He is good, real good. You might be able to meet him, next week they're playing Indianapolis. I'll call Duff to ask for backstage passes." I grabbed my phone and dialed his number. After he few rings he picked up. "Hey beautiful" he said "Hey" "How was your flight?" "Wonderful, listened to this band called Pearl Jam for the first time, some good shit." "Yeah, I hear everyone talking about them!" "Hey listen up, is it possible that I get 2 backstage passes for your gig in Indiana?" "I'll make that happen" "great, lovely" "Is everything okay in Indiana?" "Yeah absolutely lush, I am staying at my friends house" "glad to hear everything's okay." "and in the jungle?" "well, chaotic for sure, Slash is in hospital, he almost died, but he's fine" "oh shit, I told you that shit was gonna happen" "he started drinking havily after he heard about your move" "for fucks sake, why does he care, now that I am gone" "He always cared, he just doesn't talk" "I'm gonna hang up now, I'll see you next week" "okay baby, see you Monday" "bye" and I hung up.
