Estranged

Chapter 13: Back In Black, Well Actually Red / Alex P.O.V.

Alex P.O.V.-

It had been two weeks since me and Slash had gotten together, well "officially" and it had been the best two weeks of my life. The boys were ecstatic about it as well, probably Steven the most out of all of them and Izzy definitely the least. He was just such a ass hole when me and Slash were around. Izzy was the ultimate cock-block and I was going to make him quit his shit.

Today I was going to get my last cast removed but I had to make a trip bacl to my place because I had sadly run out of clothes at Slash's house and I was starting to feel bad about wearing all his clothes.

He had dropped me off and was waiting downstairs because I told him I was ready to face my "fears". I was having a out of body experience. My hands were unlocking the door and swinging it open, my feet were walking in but I wasn't. As I looked to the floor, the memories of that night flooded my mind, the first blow to the head, the kicks to my still bruised ribs, making me wince just thinking about it

Once I had had relived the entire night in my head, I walked to my room and got more things to last me a couple days. I slipped on my purple Iron Maiden tee wth the sleeves cut off and my stone washed black shorts and of course my little veteran Chucks. My babies.

When I got back in the car Slash grabbed my hand and we were on our way. "You know I'm never gonna let anyone hurt you ever again right baby?", he sternly said. Smiling up at him, I believed every word, "I know love."

Dr.Grey had successfully removed my cast and now I was free. The boys had a gig tonight and Slash had a meeting with some guitar techs so I was hanging out at his place until then. Slash would be gone for a good three hours and I was getting terribly bored.

Izzy. He answered on the 1st ring, "Hey Iz, it's Alex, how do you feel about lunch?", I asked. I had to ask him what his deal was sooner or later. "Well Alex I think lunch is a pretty important meal and very necessary to sustain a healthy diet-", I cut him off. "No loser, I mean do you wanna have lunch?". " Ohhh sure sure. See you at that little coffee place in 10." Sweet.

I walked in through the little doors, causing the bell at the top to ring. Izzy was already sitting at a table in the back. "Well hello there beautiful," he said as soon as I sat down. I asked the waitress for a coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars and then I got to the point. "Listen Izzy, I didn't come here to have lunch with you. I came here because lately you've just been, I don't know-".

"A cock-block? Annoying? In the way?", he answers with a smile and raised eyebrows. "Yeah..why? What's your problem?", he had taken the words right out of my mouth.

"Am I really that hard to read Alex?", well duh you're Izzy Stradlin, "I like you. Wait, no. Scratch that. I love you Alex. We both know that what I have for you isn't a crush and it's not going away any time soon, so just listen okay? I have known Slash for quite a while and I know you have too but I mean I know Slash, maybe not the 'real' Slash, but the one he has become. He isn't looking for a relationship Alex, come on. Slash is on the road to becoming a rockstar, the dude hasn't even had time to live yet. The band is going really good and pretty soon he is going to have girls crawling at his feet and you won't be the only woman in his life any more. All I'm saying is I don't want you to get hurt okay, I'll stop my 'bull shit' but I'll never support this. Take it from someone who actually loves you..It's not a good idea Alex, not in my opinion," he finished with a sigh.

I was frozen. What he said made no sense, yet made too much. Slash wasn't like that. That wasn't him. Izzy was just trying to get in my head, it wasn't true. But if it wasn't true then why was I crying right now? I stood up from the table, "Well good thing I wasn't asking for your opinion ass hole," and with that I was out of the door and on my way to Axl's. I needed a big brothers hug and advice.

"- and Izzy is just being this conspiracy theorist ass he always is. Don't let this get you down. Coming from a guy who's known the dude my whole life, he is just jealous. He wants you. As for Slash, well I may not have known him as long as Iz but, us guys, we can tell when guys are like that and Slash isn't."

Axl might be a angry little mother fucker most of the time but right here with my head in his lap looking up at him, he knew exactly what to say.

"Cheer up butter cup, " he said with that sweet Rose smile. I sat up and looked at him, "you're right Ax. You're right. Thanks for everything, it means alot," nothing better than my big brother's advice, "oh and sorry for walking in on your little date, she seems nice though," I added. "Yeah, Erin is. She's different. I like her." She made him happy, I could see it in his eyes. "Well I'll be on my way, love you Axl, see you at the show."

Back at Slash's house, I knew I had to go all out tonight. The boys were starting to get a name and even though I knew what Izzy had said wasn't true, those other bitches needed to know what they were up against.

I let my hair air-dry after my shower, giving it natural beach waves and zipped up my red fitted, sleeveless, mini-dress. After adding my black heels with the red soles, I was finished.

I looked hot.
