Walk All Over You

Chapter Twelve

In the doorway stood Nikki, his eyes a darker shade and a scowl expressed on his face. He was angry, very angry.

"You fuckin' bastard, it was you and the rest of your band who fuckin' almost killed her." Nikki stormed from the door towards myself and Axl who was somewhere behind me.

"Nikki, no! They aren't worth it." I say trying to get into Nikki's way and wrap my arms around him, stopping him. But I should've known I wasn't able to stop him, Nikki carefully shoved me to one side, making sure he wouldn't knock me flying as I had previously been by Axl. Falling against the chair and almost losing my balance, I hopelessly watched Nikki approach Axl, looking devilish.

"I've been waiting for this very day, I should've known it was you the very first day your band walked into the Mobile Municipal Auditorium," Nikki shoved Axl. Axl looked terrified, especially when Nikki towered over him as Duff did.
"No not even then; I knew you guys were playing that very day in 1985 but it never occurred to me that actually someone like yourself or even your fuckin' band members could hurt a woman in such way." Nikki yet again shoved Axl, his voice increasing in volume.
"You might as well have beaten her to death, at least she would be healed by now you cunt!" Nikki roared shoving Axl over, he was in a rage and there was no stopping him.

"I was under the influence man! I didn't fuckin' know it was Suzie-Q! We all were piss-fucking-drunk and on drugs! We weren't even there that fucking day! And Jesus Christ I only just found out about it then!" Axl exploded, scrambling to his feet. Knowing Axl, he was temperamental and if you set him off it was like setting off a Nuclear bomb, Nikki was exactly the same not to mention.

"Don't give me that bullshit! You knew all fuckin' long!" Nikki threw a punch towards Axl, colliding with his cheek.

"Oh shit." I panic, regaining my balance I scurried through the bus to the door where I discovered the rest of Mötley Crüe mucking around with the rest of Guns N' Roses.
Calling out to the first Crüe member I saw, I growled in realisation that practically all rockstars are half deaf, after all they were forever listening to the screams and cheers of crowds and also their live loud music that surrounded them and echoed through the stadiums.

Quickly leaping off the one stair that was in between myself and the gravel below, I ran towards the guys.

"Mick!" I squawk, my voice trembling as I ran. It wasn't the fact that I actually cared for Axl, it was the fact that I cared for Nikki, besides I really didn't want to see the two bands fight for the rest of the tour.

Mick turned around instantly, lowering his sunglasses as he watched me, run towards him pathetically.
Finally skidding in front of Mick, my breath unsteady and still the tears in my eyes; I was trying to speak but nothing would escape from my mouth.

"Jesus Christ Suzie-Q who the fuck did that to you?" Vince pushed Mick aside and observed my obvious swollen red cheek. It didn't take long for something to swell up on my body, although the bruising usually took it's time.

"Please stop them, they're fighting." I beg.

"I will but first please tell me who did this to you honey." Vince pleads whilst Mick and Tommy run towards the bus.
Hesitating before I spoke, I looked down at the gravel.

"Axl did." I answer.

"Well maybe you think you'd deserve it? After all of the shit you've done to us?" Slash bitterly says catching Vince's attention.

"Wait, the fuck did you say about Suzie-Q?" Vince says defendingly.

"I said maybe she deserved it man." Slash replies puffing his chest out and holding his shoulders back as a dog would brace itself when standing their ground.

"Huh? What was that you prick?" Vince leapt towards Slash, throwing anything and everything. Uppercuts, knees, you name it.

My heart was beating at a quick speed and it felt like if my entire inside of my stomach and chest were in the palm of someone's hand, and they were squeezing the life out of it. All the thoughts in my head were unclear and it felt like all my thoughts were being thrown at me all at once. I was in a panic, this entire situation was exactly what I didn't want.

Finally being able to move, I looked down at Slash and Vince who had brought their brawl to the ground. All amongst the gravel, the rocks digging and scuffing their bodies.
Glancing around, the fight from the bus had moved, they were all fighting in front and outside of the bus. They were all fighting because of me. It was all my fault.

I had to do something to try and stop the fighting, and it had to be done. But what could one woman do to stop a fight such as this, it was just as bad as trying to get into the middle of a fight of two dogs, they would rip you to shreds and in this case; I was going to be bashed. But what did I care, I needed to at least try stop them, and so what if I get flogged; at least I tried. I'd go down in a blaze of glory right?

Leaping towards Slash and Vince who were fighting, this time with Slash having the upper hand and crouching over the top of Vince. I threw myself towards him and jumped onto Slash's back and gripped my arms around his shoulders and throat, using my weight to pulled Slash back. Slash stumbles backwards and grips onto my arms, attempting to remove them from his body.

"Get off!" He grumbled.

"Over my dead body." I answer gripping harder.

Gradually Slash and I had a clearance between Vince and the others, Vince was still lying on the ground looking more or less stunned; trying to recap what had happened.
Everything that surrounded us, including the fighting had managed to continue on in slow motion, just as the world around us had slowed down, the whole time continuum slowing down.

Feeling a sharp pain in my ribs, it took a moment for myself to realise that he was elbowing back against me, trying to get rid of me. Grinding my teeth in pain and scowling, I removed one hand and gripped his curly locks, yanking hard before I decided to be cruel and bite his bare shoulder. Slash screamed out in pain and stumbled backwards, our bodies both slowly falling back against the bitumen. Just as my head collided with the rough surface, I screamed and not a second later everything went black. Good one Suzie-Q, you sure sorted it alright.
