Welcome to the jungle

2. Home sweet home

June 24th, 1989
It's been exactly five months since we moved and in that time Jada and I both got jobs but we decided to stay living in Duff's place until we actually had to pay for our own place. We kept running into two girls, Mariana and Amanda at various auditions and we eventually started to become friends and now we see each other at least once everyday. I also met Jacob, he's a guy that I kept seeing at the skatepark I go to and eventually we kept talking, and talking lead to dates, and dates lead to dating. As of now we've been dating for three months. The guys are meant to get home from tour today. Jada and I were at the apartment packing up all our shit in time for them to come home. Mariana and Amanda were here helping us pack as well.

"Ugh, I can't be arsed actually paying for our own place I'm too used to free loading now." I light heartedly complained to the girls.
"Omg, I know same, now I'm gonna have to cut down my amounts of nights out, I'm really gonna miss partying all weekend every weekend!" Jada fake whined earning a few laughs. Our conversation was cut short by the front door suddenly bursting open causing all four of us to jump out of our skin.

"HOME SWEET HOMEEEEEE" a slightly intoxicated Duff sing/yelled as he kicked the door open. He was closely followed by the rest of his band mates all tipsy or boarder line drunk. Duff abruptly stopped in his tracks once he saw all four us sat on the floor surrounded by countless boxes and bottles of Jack Daniels. " Heyyyyyyyyyyy, Jordie! Sister Jordan how the fuck are you? And why do you still seem to be living in my apartment?" Duff questioned while slurring his words. Before I could answer a definitely drunk slash pushed past him and almost shouted, "who caresssss, it's Jordan!" He came straight up to me a hugged me taking me extremely yet pleasantly by surprise. Just as quickly as he appeared he was gone again probably looking for some kind of alcohol.

One by one the guys greeted me, when it came to Axl, I got slightly nervous I don't why. I never get nervous around anyone especially not my brothers friends but there was something about Axl that made him intimidating to me. "Hey, I'm Axl" he said lazily extending a hand. "Yeah, I know your name we've met before" I replied slightly snarky while I shook his hand. How could he forget that he met me? I'm his best friends sister. The way he said it instantly boiled my blood because he had such an arrogant way of speaking, like he didn't actually care. That pissed me off. "Oh, I guess I forgot you, sorry." He said blankly and moved on to say to the girls. What a prick.

The girls went into the kitchen to talk to the guys who were looking for more booze, I quickly followed behind. "Where are your alcoholic beverages madam?" Slash asked as he was clearly the most wasted one. "There's some Jack Daniels in the living ro-," I was cut off by slash rushing past me in order to get as much as he could before the other guys were went searching as well. "That's em, actually mine, but yeah, sure go ahead." I murmured to myself as I realized that I wasn't gonna get anymore of my drink.

"Guys, we have to party tonight, we haven't been out on sunset strip in sooooo long." Steven excitedly proclaimed. Steven's smile was so contagious, his whole vibe was just so nice to be around he wasn't bad to look at but I just couldn't think of him in a hot way. If anything he would end up being like a brother to me. "I for one agree, I am extremely ready to get absolutely pissed tonight." I passionately agreed. This would be the last time in a while I would be able to go out so I wasn't gonna miss this opportunity.

"Mariana, I need your help which color, black or burgundy?" Jada whined. "Definitely burgundy it's sexy, and wear that choker with it." Mariana said as she pointed to a thick black choker lying on the dresser. The burgundy complimented Jada's dark skin beautifully and when she pulled her curly mass of hair into a bun it showed off her gorgeous features extremely well. Jada was always prettier than me, don't get me wrong I'm not ugly but standing next to Jada, especially when she was dressed up made me feel like it. Amanda was wearing a little black dress which complimented her curves perfectly and Mariana, Mariana was a model. Literally, she was an actual model and she was just about to break into the mainstream. She made any outfit look like high fashion.

I on the other excepted defeated when Steven announced that we should all go out. I wore a black bodycon dress with long lace sleeves. I let my wavy hair remain free around my shoulders and put on a bit of makeup. I put on my black superstars which no, did not go with my outfit however I beyond the point of caring.

As I finished getting ready before the girls I went out to join the guys in the living room of Duff's apartment. All the guys had sobered up just in time to get drunk again. As I walked through the corridor I could hear them talking. "My one and only rule for you guys, is no making moves on Jordan. If you do and especially if I think you're just trying get into her pants, I'll kill you. Understand?" Duff lectured just as I reached the door.

"You know I can look after myself." I announced as I entered the room causing everyone to look at me. "Oh, that warning wasn't because I don't trust you. It's because I don't trust theses guys" Duff stated as he gestured to the band. "Hey! A bit of credit here? I'm not a player." Steven said while putting up his hands in defense. "Yeah and if Jordan feels the urge, why not?" Axl questioned causing Duff to to jump over to him. "Hey hey hey, chillll I was kidding." Axl said in defense while backing away from the bassist.

"Em you do understand that I have a say in this? And even if I was interested in one of you. Which I am not. I have a boyfriend." I stated causing a look of annoyance to form on Duffs face. "What?! You have a boyfriend and you didn't tell me ?!" Duff almost yelled. I shrugged "you weren't here it's not a big deal. We've only been going out three months." Duff lost for words just stood there as he realized he failed in keeping me away from the male species. I noticed Axl's face and if I didn't know any better I would say he looked slightly disappointed, however as we established earlier I was quite forgettable to him.
