Hey Sugar /Guns N Roses

9- Another bad moment for popcorn

Duffs pov

I sat in our living room with a guitar in hand. Axl was across from me writing, Steven was picking at a ukulele he had bought at a thrift shop (he stole it but let's pretend he bought it). Slash and Izzy were back to back on the couch smoking cigarettes. Slash had his snake wrapped on his head.
It was a relaxing day. Axl had wanted to get a few more songs on the album, I was curious as to the lyrics he was writing.
We had previously been in the studio this morning and Slash had come up with a really shitty sounding riff, he told us he came up with it when he had been in his room with Pandora, as a joke. It was funny sounding, something you would hear at a county fair playing on the carousel. We all had a good laugh until Geffen said we needed a few more tracks. Axl thought we could use the riff so we recorded some shit and Axl promised he would write up so lyrics. So there he sat, a pizza box and a red crayon in hand.
I don't know how the fuck we had crayons and not a decent pen.
"How was the roof" steven looked up at me with wide eyes as he strummed on an e minor.
"So you're the one who told Astoria about it" I accused, feeling my heart begin to race by just saying her name.

Last night on the roof had been replaying in my mind for the whole day. I couldn't even sleep because I couldn't stop thinking about her. Mind you I could never sleep without heavy sedation. I had nightmares that usually kept me up, but last night was a nice change. Instead of horrible night terrors keeping me awake, it was the thought of a single girl keeping me awake.
Pathetic right?
I'm young, I'm supposed to have a different girl every night, I'm a fucking rock star and yet I can't stop thinking about her.
I guess something was changing in my heart, which I didn't think could handle much in the first place, emotionally.

I guess you could say I've never been one for commitment, I mean don't get me wrong I used to think commitment was alright, but I've been living rock and roll and those two don't exactly go hand in hand. However The taste of her lips and the feeling of her touch last night had me hooked.
What even were we?

Duff don't get ahead of yourself, all you did was kiss and talk. She probably just felt bad for you.
Who was I kidding ,a girl like her, and someone like me? I almost laughed out loud at the thought of Astoria wanting to go out with me.

I snagged a pizza box from beside me, throwing a moldy crust in stevens direction.
"Anyone have a pen?"
"Yeah man,here" Izzy three me a pen from his pocket. It had a few bite marks on it..Gross.
"How come your didn't give me your fucking pen when I asked. I'm using a goddamn crayon you ass wipe" Axl cursed at Izzy and shook his head while Izzy smirked to himself.

I let the pen fly on the grease stained cardboard, letting the ink flow with my thoughts.

There wasn't much in this heart of mine
There was a little left and babe you found it.
It's funny how I never felt so high it's a feelin that I know I'll never forget.
Oh it was the best thing I can remember.
Oh and the love we shared, loving that'll last forever.

I let the pen fall as I looked over my work. I'll finish the song later but I admired what I had wrote.
I was curious to see what Axl had been writing.
"Hey Ax what do you have so far." I leaned over his shoulder, trying to make out his scribbles on the box.
"Let's trade" he handed me his box and I handed him mine.
W.Axl.Rose was boldly written on the top of the box in big block letters, underneath were the words,

'Sweet child O' Mine'

She's got a smile and it seems to me,
Reminds me of childhood memory
Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes be away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
