There Was a Time

Chapter Two~ Mermories Don't Fade

1987

It was rough working at the shop, I have been there about 2 weeks and already I'm sick of the job and on top of that I'm being evicted in the next 3 months because I was 4 months behind on rent. Isn't my life great.

I kept think of all of the memories me and Slash had together, he was sucks a sweet guy he was so romantic to. He was the first guy I have ever had sex with that's how much he meant to me. He made me smile when I was down he made me laugh when I was mad he was just so comforting. I wish I was still with him, seeing how much the band progressed is amazing they play all of there songs ok every radio station, we are sold out of their album too.

I remember the first time I heard him play the guitar, that's the day I fell in love with him. He was so talented with it, whenever he played it sounded like he was born to play the instrument. He used to try and teach me to play, he was so impatient because I didn't know what I was doing but at the end he still loved me even if I broke the strings of the guitar. He had the sweetest smile you can ever look at, he could light up a whole room with it. His cheeks that had the cutest little dimples on them, with his dorky little afro that just made everybody smile.

My mom wasn't to fond of Saul though, she just thought he was a waste, she said and I quote "I don't know why you're wasting your time with him all he'll become is a druggie living on the corner of the sunset strip." And thay night I ran away I went straight to his house, Ola, his mom was so comforting she helped me calm down when I was crying over it. She let me stay the night over there and everything. Slash was my everything and because of me it's all gone no matter how hard  I try and get it back.

.... A few hours later....

My shift at the record shop was finally over I had a few dollars in my pocket and thought it would be a good idea to go and find find a place to drink or eat or both. So I walked out of the mall and down the road. I knew of a little pub that sat there not many people went there because it was unknown. It was my favourite place to sit and relax with some rock music and a drink in my had. As I was walking down the street I lit up a smoke and smiled when I got to the bar. It wasn't a normal night at all there was a bunch of people there I didn't like it but I still went it. I butted out my smoke and walked inside. The place was awful cigarette smoke filled the are the smell on the the guys breath was awful. The bar was gross now, but I still wanted a little drink, so I went up to the bartender and smiled "I would like one glass of rum please." I smiled and took a seat at the bar stool.

The man smiled at me "Ok doll no problem." He said as he got me a glass of Capitan Morgan spiced rum. I smiled and looked around "So why is it so busy in here?" I asked as I took a sip of my drink. "Well the band Guns N' Roses came for a quick concert" he said looking at the stage. At that moment I almost spit out my rum all over him. "Wait really?" I asked in shock. He laughed "Careful I do t want my uniform dirty." I giggled a bit "But question how did you get the to preform?" I asked curiously. "Well I didn't get them they called us up the want Theo get more premotions for the here new album." He said as the lights went dim.

I had to push my way up to the front of the stage, I looked as a red haired man came on and spoke in a deep voice "Ah LA how are you doing tonight?" He said as the crowd screamed loudly "You want to her some good music?" He asked a louder tone "I bet you do!" He yelled "YOU KNOW WHERE YU ARE LA!?" He basically screamed in the mic. Basically the amount of people here was making the bar over flow all over the streets "YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!" he said as he carried the e in die. I smiled as I heard the guitar it took me back to the Mermories that can never fade away from me. It was like he was made for the guitar. He was brilliantly talented at it and I knew he was going to get big and famous one day and he did, I'm very proud of him.
