There Was a Time

Chapter One~ Remembering Him

1987

It was July of 1987 I was about the age of 24, I was just graduating college after the five courses I had to take to be a security guard. I was a very short girl around 5'3" I wasn't thay petite though I was about a medium size in clothes. I had a bit of weight to me but I was okay I weighed about 120 pounds. The instructor and all of the rest of the students would make fun of me and say that I would probably drop out of class at the start and now look at me I'm up there graduating and ready to start my life.

.... A week later....

My life has been rough lately since I have nothing to get up for in the mornings I mainly have slept in most of the time and getting up late in the afternoon, it really sucks I got fired from my drug store job the other day. But today that changes I was going down to the mall to find a job so I can at least cover my rent for this month hopefully. It was hard for me living out in LA mainly because I have no family members to help me put with issues I have it was just me and my black cat Luna. I get up and look around the room for an outfit the looks half decent. I seen a pair of black leather pants laying on the floor not sure if they were dirty or clean so I sprayed a bit of vanilla perfume on them and put them on and found an old Led Zeppelin shirt that was really faded and put it on. I went to the bathroom and seen my hair was a big mess, so I put some curl foam stuff in it and waited for it to dry into nice little curls. I looked on the mirror and seen my makeup from last night all over my face I had to giggle a bit then took a face cloth and washed it all off. Then began to put some more makeup on like concealer and mascara and a bit of black eyeshadow to create a cute smokey eye look. I then left my room and went to the door and put on a pair of converse. I then grabbed my back pack and walked out the door.

The drive to the mall took about 20 minutes to get there and that was plus some traffic. I look at the taxi driver and gave him fifteen dollars and left the car. I looked at the mall it was quite big it was all outdoor to, so smoke and cheap perfume is all you can smell when you passed by people. I walked around for about 30 minutes before I seen a record shop with a help wanted sigh and I mumbled to my self "This looks promising."

I walked into the building to see it stunk of cheap perfume. I walked in and looked around for a bit until I found a record that looked like it sounded good, it's name was "Appetite For Destruction" it had a big cross on the cover that had about five skeletons on it, it was by a band named Guns N' Roses. So I flipped the record around and seen the picture on the back and my jaw dropped when I seen and curly hair man.

The curly haired man was named Slash I remember him because we went to high school together, and we dated for a while too but we had to end it when I was leaving for college to start my life. He always told me that was going to become famous one day, I always told him that it was just a dream that it would never happen in reality and now I can't belive I see him on the back of an album cover. It amazed me because I never thought it would happen, I knew he had talent and everything but it's hard to become famous. I put the record down mainly because I wasn't here for thay but I was still dazed over that fact that I knew the whole band. I went up to the counter and rang a bell. At that moment a girl with black hair came out and she gave me a smile "Hi can I help you?" She asked me kindly.

"Hi yah, um I am looking for the manager?" I asked her

"That would be me." She kept a smile on her face.

"I seen your help wanted sign out there and I came to drop off a resame." I said as I handed her the piece of paper.

She took the paper for my hand and quickly looked it over "You're hired your first shift starts in two hours so be back here." She smiled as she took the paper to the back filing cabinet and put it in.

I walked out the door to the food court across from the store and sat down there and just thought 'How is this possible it was just a dream and it came true, he wished for it hard enough and it came true j didn't know that was possible.' I thought to myself. I was looking around the mall when I seen a magazine cart, and it had a magazine with them on it I quickly ran over and grabbed the last copy and payed about 10 dollars for it. I felt my head getting lighter by the minute it felt like I was dreaming, like when you have those moments where you can't belive it's true one of those. I opened to the page where the article was and started to read "Guns N' Roses: Worlds Most dangerous Band." The title said and as I kept reading it I was snapping into reality this was all true it wasn't just a dream it was true.
