Anastasia's pov:

I climbed onto the bus after storming away from Slash as I found Duff already sitting with Steven,they were both passed out slumped over the seats.Izzy sat with Pam,Erin with Axl.

"Adler."I said pushing his side with my nails as he grumbled. "can we switch?"I practically begged him,I couldn't stand to look at Slash right now.

"no,Ana just sit down."He groaned with his eyes still shut as I just sighed and hopped off the bus as I made my way to the other one.

"Anastasia?"James said as I climbed up the stairs of the Metallica bus.

"room for one more?"I asked as Kirk lifted up his head over the seat in the back.

"get over here."He ushered me over as I smiled walking up to him as I sat next to him.

"where's uh Lars?"I asked as I didn't see him on my way over to the seat.

"He's probably still packing up his drum set.He's really picky when it comes to moving around for tour,if any of his stuff gets ruined he'll rain hell"Kirk laughed.

"Steven just throws it all under the bus and hopes for the best."I giggled. "Your bus is way cleaner than guns..and it's way nicer,there's so much room."I said excitedly.

"that's because it's just the four of us,we don't bring our girlfriends.Were serious about the whole tour thing."Kirk nodded as if guns weren't serious but I bit my tongue.Metallica and there manager were so frustrated with is in the first half of the tour we had to pause but I don't blame them,it gets quite messy.

"hey did y'know Erin and Axl are married,there baby is due next month."I said as Kirk looked surprised.

"Well that's if they survive the rest of the tour,only two shows to go"Kirk said sarcastically.

"what do you mean?"I asked.

"Well it's always either Erin and Axl,or Axl and everyone else,or Steven vs the rest of the band or you and Slash,there's always something going on.So you gonna tell me what happened?"Kirk said as he read right through me.

"I don't know what you're talking about."I said crossing my arms.

"Well unless you're high,which Axl promised us your whole band was clean and got the wrong curly haired rockstar then Slash definitely said something wrong."Kirk shrugged.

"axl promised the whole band was clean?"I said surprised.

"ana!"Kirk said trying to stop me from preventing the subject as I just sighed.

"fine."I muttered shoving my ring in his face as he gasped.

"everything good back there?"James said as him and Cliff turned around as Kirk and I just nodded.

"you're married?"He whispered.

"he proposed.But don't tell anyone!"I warned him. "But it happened a while ago he said he didn't want a baby with me and then he said he doesn't want a wedding."I sighed.

"and you want all that?"Kirk said understanding.

"exactly."I nodded.

"I'm sure you will work it out,you always do."Kirk said trying to make me feel better.

"until we don't."I groaned as I rested my head on his shoulder.

"what the f*ck is this?"Lars said walking over as Kirk shushed him."wait until Slash finds out about this."Lars said smugly as Kirk shooed him away.I wasn't worried about Slash.

Slash's pov:

This was the biggest stage we had ever played,we were playing it two nights in a row.Out final shows for this tour.Tonight we were opening.The drive to Arizona was lonely Anastasia left I assumed she was with Erin but it wasn't until I waited for her to get off the bus after I got off and she never walked off,only Alan walked off.

"Alan!Wheres Ana?"I said trying to sound calm.

"she's right there."Alan said looking over at the other bus parked in front as she climbed off followed by Kirk as I rushed over.

"Slash?"she said surprised to see me as I dragged her back onto that bus much to her protest as I let her go as she slapped me across the face. "what the f*ck do you think your doing!"She scowled.

"I need to talk to you."I said.

"no sh*t!Ask me like a normal person don't just drag me away like that."She said rolling her eyes.

"I'm sorry Ana."I sighed. "You took it the wrong way you take everything the wrong way."I said.

"what's that supposed to mean?"She said offended.

"Just let me speak...please"I asked as she nodded without a word. "I don't want to constantly be compared to Erin and Axl.Let them do what they want.Were different.If they want their big white wedding and big family right now they can have that and so can we..just not right now,I have to focus on my career and this band because it's always about to fall apart,you think I want Steven to get kicked out?"I asked her as she piped up.

"Steven's getting kicked out?"She panicked.

"no,it's been discussed but Axl wants a clean band and Steven obviously isn't."I sighed.

"You can focus on your career but you need to think how long you want to wait for this,I'm not ready to get married or be a parent right now but I want too and I'll wait for you."Ana smiled as I wanted to kiss her right there as I heard the bus doors open as footsteps approached us.

"For f*ck sake How many times Slash,stay away from my sister."Duff said as Anastasia ran over to him.

"he was just telling me about how many people are coming tonight!It's gonna be such a good show."Ana lied as she followed Duff off the bus.

"I could've told you how many people there was Ana,you don't need to stand on the bus and say it."Duff said rolling his eyes as we approached the hotel in Arizona
