Alex P.O.V.-
"Baby girl come on, you haven't left the house in days, please come with me to the party", Joe begged. "That's because last time I left, I watched my brothers girlfriend run off with Steven Tyler, which he still doesnt know about!", I pouted, putting my head in my hands.
"Look, its Steven's party so he has to be there. If you really want to know why he picked up Erin then you can come with me to the party and ask him," he was so good at these things. How was it that Joe was his best friend yet knew nothing about him?, "and look I heard old Slasher was going to be there, maybe you guys can put a band-aid on it eh?", he said with a raised eyebrow and perked shoulders.
I missed Slash. I missed his lips on mine, his hands on my waist, his hands in mine but none of those things were for me anymore. His love wasn't for me anymore.
"You know what? I'll go. If he doesn't want me then it's his loss right?", I asked waiting for Joe's reassurance. "Of course Alex! Fuck him! Say it with me. Fuck him!", Joe chanted.
"Fuck him!", I cheered along. At least I was trying.
Slash P.O.V.-
"Okay, what time are you going to be there?", I asked. "7, I'll be upstairs in the last room to the left. Be there," she answered and with that I hung the phone back on the wall. I really didn't want to talk to her considering everything that had happened but I needed to know what information she had. Hopefully it would all be worth it. "Come on guys, we have a party to be at!", I yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Soon, we were all packed in my car and in the driveway of the party house.
Alex P.O.V.-
Where the hell was Steven? How hard was it to find a guy at his own party? "Hey sweet heart", a raspy voice said into my ear. Found him. I turned on my heels and I was now facing a drunk Steven. "Heyyy there! Great party, do you think we could talk?", I asked with a hopeful smile. "Sure baby", ugh he was so much more attractive when be wasn't hammered off his ass.
I grabbed his hand and pulled him into a nearby bathroom, setting my purse down on the counter and closing the door. "Oh someone's in a hurry", Steven laughed as he reached for the hem of his shirt. "No! Steven, thats not why I brought you in here", he put his hands back at his sides and leaned against the counter. "I need you to tell me why you were picking up Erin that day at Eddies shop." He was quiet. He turned around, facing away from me and ran his fingers through his hair. "Look you're really nice and all but I can't give you the information you need. All I know is that Axl isn't who you think he is. I've heard some really fucked up stuff okay? That's all I can tell you", he said still facing away from me.
"Please. This could change everything," I begged. "I can't. I'm sorry," Steven said as he turned around and headed for the door, opening it and leaving. I was feeling so over whelmed. I was going to explode if I didn't get some answers.
Slash P.O.V-
I had gotten the boys to split and I was now upsatirs, walking past door after door, all spilling the sounds of drunk sex. And finally I was at the last door on the left. I didn't knock, she knew I was coming. "Why are you here?", I said. She was sitting in the couch in Steven's game room.
"Slash, I know I left out of no where but there is some things you need to know before I'm gone for good," she softly spoke. "What is it?", what was so important for her to come back and risk both of us getting in trouble.
"I left Izzy's at 4AM that night and when I was going out the back, he was on the side of the house with Nina." What the fuck. "He was giving her money for doing what she did. Slash he set you up. Yes, you were wrong for falling into it but he planned this out. He wants Alex and he isn't going to stop Slash."
"I'm so stupid. I heard what he said to her in the hospital, all of it. I figured he was just really fucked up or something. I didn't think he would go this far. The sad part is that it all makes sense in a really fucked up way."
He was my fucking best friend. Band brothers. "She is never going to believe it though, and even if she did, I was still wrong," I said. It was hopeless. "Slash, everyone makes mistakes. What you did can be fixed. You and Alex can be fixed. Some of us don't always have that oppurtunity okay? So take it while you still do."
"What the hell are you talking about? You left him? You walked away.", I questioned. She began to laugh, softly at first and pretty soon she was rolling around on the couch and then out of no where she was hysterically crying. "Woah I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry," I was desperate to make her stop crying. I felt bad now.
"No, no, no you're right. I did leave him, I did walk away. I love him Slash, I really do but he doesn't love me. I had every reason to walk away," she said through a thick voice while tears spilled down her cheeks. "What are you talking about? You ran off with fucking Steven Tyler?"
"Steven was trying to help me Slash. He saved me," she said with a sniffle. "From what!?", why was she being so indirect!? "From Axl," she slowly stood up and walked to the senter of the room, that's when I noticed she was limping. Oh god. Please no. No no no. "From this", she lifted her shirt and her flesh over her ribs was purple. Bruises every where. Her pale skin was no longer visible.
She moved her hair out of her face and her cheek had a long some what healed cut right over the bone and her eye was black. Then she took a few steps forward and rolled up her sleaves, exposing her bruises and marks in shapes of hand prints. How could Axl do this? I knew he could get a little mad sometimes but nothing like this. I could never lay a hand on a woman.
This was no 'mistake', this was work done by a monster. " I'm so sorry. I never knew, why didn't you tell anyone? I could have helped you! I'm always too late." Too late to for Alex, too late to help Erin. "What's done is done Slash, I'm safe now. It might be too late for me but you're not too late for Alex. Go Slash," she said all this with such an uneasy voice but she was right.
She pulled me into a soft and short and hug and she was on her way. "Maybe we will meet again one day but this life can't offer me anything anymore, I wish you and Alex the best and please explain to the others. Good bye Slash," she spoke softly, then headed for the door. "Good bye Erin", I whispered.
Erin P.O.V.-
Why couldn't I stop crying? I had driven an entire 2 hours to get here and I still couldn't stop. I had just shot up for the second time today and I was ready.
None of this would ever stop. Life gets better? Lies. All of it was lies. None of them knew how hard it was to love some one and not be loved back. All of it was over for me. I'm a wreck. Just look at me. Here I sit on the top off the Hollywood sign, here I stand on the sign, here I close my eyes on sign, here I step off the sign. Here I lay, dead.
AN: I don't even know what to say. I know this chapter is dark as fuck but it was bound to happen. if u see any typos let me know. Read comment vote?(:
