You Could Be Mine

Remember Those Days

I opened the door and standing before me was someone I haven't seen in a long time, Sharon Rose, Axl's Mother. "Mrs. Rose!?" I said in complete shock, she smiled back at me. "It's great to see you again Pamela." I was in shock I couldn't even move. "What-what are you doing here?" I asked her finally snapping out of my daze moving out of the way for her to come in. She entered and then turned to me "I'm here to ask you the same exact question." I looked at her confused and laughed a little "what do you mean?"

"Axl called me. He asked if I've seen you." She said standing next to me. "What did you tell him?" I asked scared of what she'd say. She smiled and nodded "I told him you were here. He was relieved to hear those words. He misses you and cares about you. Same with Slash. He's been a mess." I felt like crap, but also remember them leaving me at the hospital alone. "Well it would be different if they didn't leave me at the hospital alone." I said with a stern voice and she shot me a look.

"Well, Axl and Slash got arrested because they wanted to hurt that Maureen person for hurting you. The others had to bail them out. By the time they reached the hospital you were gone." She said that and I felt like complete shit for thinking something so terrible. After a few minutes of us talking more she left and I needed to go someplace. I needed to go to my secret place. I locked up the house and drove towards that place, not noticing someone was following me.

At the secret place...

I thought back to when Axl and I found this place when we were kids. We were wondering around and found this hill on the edge of town. We came here all the time and no one knew where we went. I put the car in park and started walking to it, once I got there I saw someone sitting there. I walked closer to find Slash smoking a cigarette, the only reason he could've known would've been if the band was here. I walked towards him and then sat down close to him, but not too close.

He looked at me and took a drag then looked back at the sky. "How did you know I'd be here?" I asked him and he flicked his cigarette away "Axl told me you guys use to come here to think. He sent his mom to talk to you." He said. I looked at him "can I say something?" I asked wanting to apologize. "What's stopping you?" He responded not looking at me still. "When I woke up in the hospital and you weren't there, let alone anyone else. I got so angry and hurt. Once I got out I didn't even want to hear your name, but when Sharon explained to me what happened I felt like shit. That's why I came out here"

Words just poured out of me and I couldn't stop them. He didn't respond for a long time, then he finally looked at me. "I was trying to get back to the hospital, but the cops were assholes. I'm sorry you were alone, I wanted to be there, but I couldn't." I looked at the sky and I could feel his eyes on me. I was in my own little world, I didn't see him move closer to me. I looked back at him and he was so close I could smell the cigarettes in his breath.

"I have been trying to find you since then, but you disappeared, the guys said to move on. I couldn't. Every girl I saw I thought of you." He said and he reached out grabbing my hands in his. He never really opened up like this to anyone. Not often. "I was so angry when you were gone I didn't want to tour, but I stuck with it for the band. Every show I dedicated to you, but no one knew that." He continued to say, but I stopped him. "Slash, listen. You did not need to freak out that much. I'm strong and you should know that, but I also thought of you everyday. I tried to move on, but I just couldn't."

He backed away and looked at me "wait. You tried to move on? What does that mean?" He asked confused. "I thought you'd have moved in since girls throw themselves at you and so I decided I should try to move on. But it didn't work. I didn't get very far because I missed you." I said and he seemed relieved. "I fought off girls every night, one of them looked like you. I almost kissed her then realized that it wasn't you." He kind of chuckled a little. "Well, I guess we should stop fighting it." I said and he nodded then replied"I think we should too."

"What should we do about it?" I said unsure of what to do. He moved towards me kissing me softly then more passionate. We then stopped and looked at each other. "Want to go back to my parents?" I stopped then laughed at what I just said. "I have my own apartment per say above the house. So basically my place. But not really." I stopped myself then slapped my hand to my face. "Shit I just ruined the moment. Sorry."

He smiled and laughed with me then he nodded "I'm in if you're in." He said smiling at me. We got up then headed towards my car and I took a look over the spot Axl and I spent so many moments together. I will never forget this spot. Ever.

Few hours later....

Slash and I went back to my place and we made perfect love, again and again, this was my first time and it was the best moment of my life. It was fun, wild, but a bit painful at first. We fell asleep in each other's arms tangled in the sheets of my bed. This is where I belonged, next to him, feeling his bare skin against mine. I turned my head to watch him sleep and he looked like an angel. I didn't want to lose him again, he was my other half.

I was woken up to the sound of the phone ringing, I grabbed a blanket wrapping it around me heading out of the room to the phone. I picked it up,what was said on the other line shocked me so much I dropped the phone and had to cling to the wall to prevent me from falling to the ground.
