Hazel and Axl grew up together in Lafayette, Indiana. Before Axl left for the big city, he promised Hazel he would return to marry her, or at least to take her with him when his band hit it big. It's 1991 now, and Hazel is still stuck in Lafayette, watching on the TV as her childhood sweetheart breaks her heart over and over again. When she finally gets her chance to move out to LA and reconcile with him, will she take it? Better yet, will he let her? Rated R. You should know this by now.

Who is Axl Rose? "He's an odd guy." -Izzy "To be honest, he probably doesn't live in the same world as you and me." -Duff "He means no harm; it's just the way he is." -Slash "One day he would be hugging you and the next day kicking you in the balls." -Steven An Axl fanfic highlighted through the nonfictional lens of those who knew him best. ****************************** It's 1986 and Guns N'Roses just hit their big break: a contract with Geffen Records! Despite this major development, their singer Axl just can't seem to keep it together. Worse still, he keeps somehow getting mixed up with the local cops, but specifically a sexy brunette named Officer Cook-who might be even more troubled than he is.
