Afraid | Nikki Sixx {Remastered}

Chapter 42.

Carly's POV

I walked over to the side or the stage and watched as Guns N' Roses preformed. I smiled and leaned against the wall.

"Take me down to the paradise city, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Take me home!" Axl sang. "Take me down to the paradise city, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty. Oh, won't you please take me home!" He continued.

His vocal range is amazing, I don't know how I haven't watched them or talked to them this entire tour until now. It's December 3rd and I'm only just now seeing and meeting them?

I guess I've been so wrapped up in Nikki and his drama that I haven't paid attention to anything else. Not only is Axl absolutely gorgeous, but he is amazingly talented.

Axl glanced over and saw me. I smiled a little and gave him a small wave. He winked at me and turned his attention away from me. I felt butterflies in my stomach, I think it's safe to say that I have developed a small crush on Axl.

"Hey." I heard a familiar voice say.

I looked over and saw Nikki standing next to me. I rolled my eyes and looked back at Axl.

"I see that you've met Axl yesterday," He started. "I'm telling you right now, be careful." He said.

I laughed. "Be careful? You're one to talk." I said.

"Carly, I'm serious. You think I'm a bad guy? I look like an angel compared to him." He said.

"Yeah fucken right." I spat. "Maybe you just can't stand that I have an interest in someone that isn't you." I said.

"I don't want you to get hurt anymore than you've already been. Axl will hurt you, Bambi." He said.

"He seems to be the exact opposite of what you make him out to be. Why don't you just butt out?" I asked and looked over at Nikki.

"Carly–" He said.

"No, leave me alone. Don't tell me to be careful, I'll be fine. Wanna know why I'll be fine? Because he's not you!" I exclaimed.

He shook his head. "Whatever. Go fuck yourself. Don't come crying to me when you become another notch on Axl's belt." He said. "And that's exactly all you will He to him." He said before walking off.

I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to Guns N' Roses. Axl looked over at me again and I felt my cheeks heat up. I smiled at him and he smirked. I bit my lower lip and looked down at my feet. Really? He's a bad guy? Nikki is so jealous that he can't even stand it.

–

Their set came to an end and they all ran off the stage. Axl ran over to me as soon as it ended.

"Hey, beautiful." He said and hugged me.

I hugged back. "Hey. You killed it out there." I said.

"Well, I may have been showing off more than I usually do because you were watching." He said as we released from our embrace.

"I'm not complaining, I enjoyed the show." I said and smiled.

He chuckled. "Come with me. I wanna spend more time with you." He said and started walking towards their dressing room.

My face lit up and I followed behind him. He walked into the dressing room and gestured me to walk in. Which, I gladly did.

"Guys, this is Carly. Carly, this is Slash, Izzy, Duff and Steven." Axl said as he pointed to each guy.

I smiled. "It's nice to meet you all." I said.

"You, too." Izzy said and gave me a small smile.

"Just wait here, I'm gonna get out of these clothes and we can talk and get to know each other." Axl said and winked at me.

I nodded. "Okay, sounds like a plan." I replied.

Axl quickly got dressed and he grabbed a six pack of beer and a bottle of Jack before walking out of the room.

"Is it alright if we go back to my hotel room?" He asked.

"More than alright." I replied and smiled at him.

We quickly got to his hotel room and he gestured me to walk in first. I smiled and walked inside.

"How come I'm just now finding out about you?" Axl asked as he walked in, shuttling the door with his foot and putting the drinks on the bed.

"I've been involved with Nikki for a while. Things ended between us fairly recently." I replied. "I've been too wrapped up in him." I added on.

"All that matters to me is that you're available right now." He said and sat down on the bed.

He patted the spot next to him and I didn't hesitate to sit down next to him. He opened up the bottle of Jack and handed it to me.

"You drink, right?" He asked.

"Yes, absolutely." I replied with a laugh and took a big swig before giving it back to him.

"Then, this is definitely gonna work." He said with a chuckle and took a swig of it. "So, what's the story behind the eye?" He asked.

As mad I am at Nikki for doing this to me, I don't wanna tell people he did it. On purpose at least. I don't want people to hate him.

"Nikki and I were play fighting while high and he accidentally nailed me in the eye." I replied with a chuckle.

Technically, I'm not lying. Just the circumstances changed.

Axl laughed. "Damn! Nikki wasn't messing around. He wanted to fucking win." He said.

I forced a laugh. "I guess." I replied and took a few gulps of the Jack.

"So, your last name is Fawn? That's an interesting name." He said.

"Your name is Axl Rose. Your name is more interesting than mine." I said with a small laugh.

He chuckled. "Touché." He said and took the bottle and took a big gulp. "Well, let's finish off this bottle and see where the night takes us." He said and handed the bottle back.

I blushed. "I like that plan." I replied.
