I hadn't seen Saul since I was 15 and now here we were almost seven years later sitting in a car parked in front of a liquor store, catching up on all the years we were apart.
We sat in that car for at least a hour talking about our lives and what we had done since we last saw each other , which was alot. But I couldn't tell him everything, how could I tell him that I was being stalked ever since I moved to Hollywood, that I slept with a gun every night in fear of my life? I needed to talk about something else before I got too lost in my own mind.
" I-I-I- I just can't believe it's really you ", I felt tears in my eyes. I never thought I would see him again, after the 1st year of no contact I lost hope. He reached across the middle seat and wrapped his arms around me and just held me.
"I'm so happy you're here Alex....I never forgot about you...there wasn't a day that went by where you didn't cross my mind, not a day where I didn't think about my best friend."
"I missed you too Saul", I choked out right before he went back to his position in his seat. He smiled at me and picked up his top hat, putting it back in its home on his head.
"Well let's go get those drinks before the guys get too worried." We got out of the car and into the store where we bought at least 5 bottles of Jack and 4 cases of beer and I picked out my girly little wine coolers that consisted of Mike's Lemonade and Seagrams. Saul was laughing at me trying to pick between Piña Collada and Strawberry Daiquiri flavor.
When we pulled up to Duff's place, the guys were already waiting outside looking pissed. "Slash you whore, where the fuck have you been?!", Axl yelled. "Dude shut up, I got your shit so go get your little ginger ass inside," Slash smoothly replied as if he'd said it 100 times.
"Really Slash? It's strawberry blonde," Axl remarked and then we were all trying not to laugh but we failed. Duff's place was actually pretty nice considering he was a junkie in the 80's with a drinking problem.
The night was full of pool, drinks, "poison", and Steven's special tacos, which were actually heaven on my taste buds. Everything was going nice, talking with the guys, watching Axl try to dance while slightly hammered, Izzy jumping and screaming at any loud noise, and of course talking to Saul. But then there was a knock on the door which Axl quickly jumped up to get.
No one noticed the knock except me and Axl, I was listening from the kitchen, peaking from around the corner because my curiosity always got the best of me. Axl cracked the door and looked startled at who ever was on the other side.
"Dude what the hell are you doing here?", Axl whispered.
"Dude I'm doing what you're paying me to do."
"What do you mean...."
"ALEXXXXX. COME SHOW ME AND STEVEN THAT COOL SMOKE TRICK YOU DO," Saul called from the other room. Damn.
"Coming!" After Axl came back in the room, he was different. He sat down and put his hands on his forehead. What was going on with him?
AN: Hiiiii.. ooooweeeeooo what's up with Axl? .-. vote, comment, and give feed back please (: <3 I'll update again later today.
