A/N : The photo above is of Mila Kunis and I think she looks pretty similar to how I see Holly. Enjoy!! :)

It had been exactly two weeks since Axl and I
had our fun. Even after I gave him my number, I still hadn't got a phone call from him. I would come straight home from school, and set on my bed by my phone waiting for him to call every night for two weeks, and nothing.

He probably found a hot groupy in the two weeks we've been apart. Is it weird that I was only with him for a day and a half, and I miss him?

The phone rings and I'm immediately awoken from my day-dream.

I pick the phone up, hoping to hear Axl's deep, scratchy voice, but it was only Holly.

"Hey babe, how ya doin?" She says. "Alright I guess." I reply back, and crash down on my bed.

"So do you wanna do something tonight?" She says.

"Of course. Come over and we'll think of something." I say.

"I'll be over in twenty." She says and hangs up the phone.

I set on my bed and engage in a magazine. I was in the middle of reading an article about Bon Jovi, one of my other favorite bands when Holly comes in my room.

She plops on my bed next to me and says "So watcha wanna do?"
"Wanna watch The Breakfast Club or 16 Candles?" I say quickly.

I turn around to find Holly already holding 16 Candles up.

"Twin Telepathy." She says with a giggle. 16 Candles is always our go-to movie. We've probably watched it thirty times, and we still aren't tired of it. A/N : If you haven't watched 16 Candles, I highly recommend it! It's one of the best 80s movies in my opinion.

We pop some popcorn, and get under my covers and watch our favorite movie. It's towards the part when the geek asks for Samantha's panties when I hear something hit my window.

"What the fuck was that?" Holly screams and pauses the movie.

"I don't know." I say and get up to go see. I open the window and look down, and standing before me is a tall redhead wearing a red bandana tied around his head, jeans, a white t-shirt with a picture on it that I can't make out, and leather boots. And damn, he looks good.

"Axl, what are you doing here?" I say loudly, but whispering at the same time.

"I came to see you, duh!" He says in a shouting-whispering voice.

"How do you expect to get up here?" I say waiting for an answer.

"I didn't really think that one through." He says crossing his arms.

"I'll go unlock the door, and try not to wake my parents up." and I shut my window and return to Holly.

"I see you're prince charming is here." She says with a giggle.

"Oh yeah, where's Slash?" I say fighting back.

"I don't know, but he called yesterday." She says.

"Well at least yours calls you." I roll my eyes, and walk quietly downstairs to open the door for Axl.

I tiptoe over to the door, and twist the doorknob so quietly, even I can't here it. And there he is, leaning up against the little wall that my door sets in. He's too gorgeous for my eyes.

We just stood there and stared at each other for a good minute until he spoke up. "Can I come in, or are you just gonna make me stay out here?" He says pointing into the house.

"Oh yeah, come in." I say. He walks in, and I shut the door behind him, quietly of course.

"Make sure you're quiet." I say as we walk up the stairs.

He nods and we go into my room.

"Hey Axl." Holly says as she continues to watch the movie.

"Hey." Axl says back.

Axl and I go over to set on the seat in front of my window. "So why did you come here at 12:30 at night?" I say and wait patiently for his answer.

"I came here so late because I need to tell you something." He pauses and grabs my hands.

"I know we've only known each other for a few weeks, but I can't stop thinking about you. For two weeks straight the thought of you won't leave my head. I've never felt this way about anyone before so I don't really know what to do." He says looking into my eyes.

"I feel the same way, Axl. I was hoping you'd call, but you never did and I thought you had forgotten about me."

"I could never forget about you, April. I'm sorry I didn't call, I didn't know if you felt the same way, but now I do." He says as he rubs little circles on my cheek with his thumb.

"So what are we?" I question him.

"Well I was hoping you'd be my girl. I know we'd have to talk to Duff, but for now it will just be our little secret." He whispers.

"Our little secret." I agree, and kiss him on the cheek.

I turn around to find Holly still engaged in the movie, not minding what Axl and I are talking about.

"So, how'd you manage to get away from the guys?" I say, starting a conversation.

"Well we came back to Seattle a few days ago, and all the guys went out, but I decided to stay home and try to finish writing a song I'm working on called Patience, but I couldn't stop thinking about you long enough to do it. So, I figured I'd come tell you how I felt." He says laying back on the seat in front of my window.

"I'm glad you did." I say gazing upon his face.

"Axl?" I say waiting for him to answer. "Yes sweetheart?" He replies back.

"Do you think you could stay with me tonight?" I say. I felt compelled to ask. I loved being in his company, and I didn't want to be apart from him.

"I think I could." He says with a smirk.

"Good. I just have to find a way to get Holly out of my bed." and I get up and walk over to my bed to where Holly is.

Holly wouldn't mind giving up a night in my bed so that Axl and I could be alone. She knows I'd do the same for her and Slash.

"Holly, would you mind sleeping in Duffs bed tonight?" I say and point over to Axl.

"Ohh I see, and of course not. I love his superman sheets anyway!" She says with a smile, and she leaves my room to go into Duffs.

"Duff has Superman sheets?" Axl says laughing.

"Yeah, my mom never got around to changing them after he moved out." I reply.

Axl takes his shirt off, and we get under the blankets to lay next to each other.
He puts his arm under my pillow, and we lay facing each other for awhile.

"Goodnight April, sweet dreams baby." He says kissing my forehead, and pulling me in closer to his chest.

"Goodnight Axl." I say, and close my eyes.

As soon as I close my eyes, I fall asleep and dream of Axl.
