Anna's pov

I hear the phone ring upstairs, and hurriedly run up to answer it.

As soon as I hear that voice, the same one that has spent so many nights screaming at me, my stomach drops.

"Hey, is this Anna?"

I sigh

"Yes Tommy. It's me. What do you need?"

"Anna...I been thinkin. I really love you. I love you more than anything, and I wanted to tell you I'm gonna get help...just for you baby. You mean the whole world to me, and when things started falling apart, I took it all out on you. I-..."

He was interrupted by Saul taking the phone from me.

"She's not interested fucker."

He slammed the phone on the hook and looked down at me. I began to tear up. He bent down and looked me in the eyes, and he smiled that big beautiful smile that let me know everything was gonna be okay.

"Hey, come down and eat with me and the guys. It'll make you feel better."

"Okay...okay."

We made our way downstairs, and all I could think about what Tommy said about getting help. Would he really change? My thoughts were interrupted by Saul smiling at me. He was really sweet, but this life isn't really for me. I mean, I love Axl and Saul, but they have whole other lives to run...I think they'd be better off without me and my baggage.

After we all ate, and I had time to think, I had dismissed the possibility of going back to Tommy from my head. The boys had a show to play in a couple of hours, and they had invited me to go. I promised Saul I would, because he said he was gonna play our song. I remember the day he wrote it like it was yesterday...

*Flashback*

Saul had been seen with another girl around the Sunset Strip, and a couple of his close friends let me know. I knew he'd been gone a while, I just had no idea what he was out doing until now. I knew I was never his first choice, yet here I sit crying like a bitch over a boy who's heart i'll never truly own.

I was sitting on the dresser beside the window smoking a cigarette, looking at pictures of Saul, Axl and I from years ago, which made me cry even harder seeing as He was the only love I've ever known. I heard the back door swing open and he was headed in. He probably thought i was crying on the porch again, and he was gonna try and avoid me. I walked in the kitchen and noticed he was drunk off his ass. He smiled at me and attempted to stay standing straight up .

"Hey Anna! I- I thought you'd be with Axl or something today..."

I smirked

"Nope. I'm here, and now...so are you"

He sat down with a confused look on his face, as I went to pour a glass of wine.

"Ya know, A friend of yours dropped by today Saul. Told me he saw you with a redheaded bitch."

"Um, she's just my friend Anna, I swear"

"Friends are very important. Very important..."

I smiled and sat across from him.

I swirled my white wine around in my glass and chugged it, I decided the perfect way to dispose of the cup when I was finished.

I threw the glass at the wall beside his head, and it shattered. He jumped up, and screamed like a little girl.

"woah! Anna what the fuck?"

"You're really gonna leave me alone here all day, wondering where you are and if you're safe, just to find out you're out with some whore? You said you loved me Saul. You're a goddamn liar"

"Anna, please let me explain..."

"not this time Saul. Not this time."

I stomped to our room and began to cry again. I slumped down on the bed, knowing I had to get out of here before this situation finished tearing my heart into shreds.

Saul came in and hoisted himself up on the dresser and grabbed his guitar. He began to play a song, which I vaguely payed attention to until he started to sing.


" When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained, But darlin' when I hold you don't you know I feel the same nothin' lasts forever, and we both know hearts can change, and it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain. We've been through this such a long long time just tryin' to kill the pain, oo yeah but love is always coming and love is always going, and no one's really sure who's lettin' go today, Walking away. If we could take the time to lay it on the line, I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine, All mine. So if you want to love me, then darlin' don't refrain. Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain. Do you need some time on your own?"

I began to cry again, and Saul set his guitar down and came to hold me.

He put his arms around me and I cried into his chest. He lifted up my chin and kissed me.

"You're the only girl I'll ever love."

*flashback over*

I noticed the time, and I got up to go get ready for the concert. It started at 9:00 and it was 7:30 now.

I went upstairs and put on a bit of makeup, and a shirt with the band's logo on it that the boys had given me. They told me that their shows get really wild, and I think a wild show is exactly what I needed.

I went downstairs as the boys were loading their instruments into a back van.

I had to sit in the back of the van next to the drums. I started to get a headache from them clanging together right in my fucking ear. It was just a minute down the road to the venue, so I didn't have to deal with that for long, thank God.

I get backstage with the boys, and guess who's there with his band?
