A/N: This involves talk of Axl Rose, and although he's an asshole, I'm not saying anything I say in this oneshot involving Axl is true.

Nikki's POV, 1987

The band were on tour, specifically our tour for our 'Girls, Girls, Girls' album, we were in the road with Guns N' Roses, we'd seen and heard about them on the strip and thought they'd be great openers for us, and yeah, they were, except, there were some issues.

Axl Rose, their frontman, was a dick. And maybe that was rich coming from me and the other guys as we were all assholes too but Axl got under all our skin, it was his attitude and the way he spoke to other people, sometimes even his own bandmates.

I mean, all of us in the Crüe get angry at each other, we can speak to each other in less than friendly ways however we only did that if we were pissed off with each other, most of the time we kept it civil, Axl just liked saying shit to get a reaction and that even meant offending his own band.

They got tired of his behaviour and the rest of us did too, but Vince hated him the most, he always went on about how he wants to fight him and prove that Axl is all bark, no bite.

And yeah, that's a good reason for a fight but I wanted a fight for a different reason and that's how Axl treats his girlfriend sometimes.

I'm not a saint with women, neither is Tommy or Vince, and neither is Mick really though he's way better than the rest of us, we can objectivity women and treat groupies in a unsavoury manor but there's a line between that and being abusive, Axl crosses that line more often that I'd like.

I can be a douchebag to women but abusing a women in any way isn't something I could do, because I've been there, I know what's it's like and I never want to be like my mom.

Y/N was a great person and I did wonder when I first met them how she ended up with someone like Axl because she was too good for him, but when Slash told me they'd known each other since they were kids it made more sense, she felt obligated to Axl I guess, like I felt obligated to stay with my mom even though I hated what she did to me and the way she lived, until it got too much and I had to leave.

I'd spoken to Y/N quite a few times and we'd ended out hanging together when Axl went off somewhere without her or they'd argued as he picks fights with her a lot. She takes it on the head a lot of the time and I admired her for it, probably used to it but it did make me wonder if she realised he was pretty much abusive towards her, mainly verbal and emotional, I'd never seen him raise a hand to her and I think if I ever found out he has in the past, present or future I'll beat his ass for it, she deserves more than that.

It might not be a stretch to say over the course of GNR supporting us and the time I had spent with Y/N even if it was brief had resulted in me getting some feelings for her.

They seemingly came out of nowhere but it's not like they were unwelcome, she was pretty much perfect so I couldn't be mad at myself even if I wanted too, though I didn't dare say of this to anyone in Guns N Roses knowing it'd probably be let slip to Axl at some point and I didn't want to cause anymore problems than there was already between my band and his.
