1989

You and Duff were high school sweethearts, you knew him before he was the popular bass player that he was today. All the female’s wanting him, but he made it explicitly clear that he only wanted you whenever a girl came on to him. Duff wasn’t interested in any other female but you, He always did his best to stay loyal to you. But recently, he slipped up by having sex with a groupie after a Guns ‘N Roses show. It was a weak moment for Duff, the girl just came on to him, definitely not the other way around. When you found out about what Duff did, it resulted into a major argument with the both of you. It was so bad, unlike any argument you and Duff had ever had. You ended up kicking him out of the bedroom and making him sleep on the couch that night. All throughout the night Duff thought about it. he couldn’t sleep, all he was thinking about was ways to make it to you. Duff never meant to hurt you, not even to the slightest. You were his babygirl, in his mind one slip up shouldn’t change the fact he was yours and you were his. You went to be so angry with the following questions in your mind. Why did he do it? What’s going to happen? With the stress of all these questions running through your mind you ended up putting yourself to sleep.

You woke with the smell of breakfast hitting your nose. You didn’t get out of bed, you just laid there wondering what Duff was plotting. You figured it was something stupid but you stayed in bed to see how it was gonna play out. You were still left bitter about the fact he cheated, you just woke up mad about it, totally not letting go the fact he messed up this one time. Before you knew it your bedroom door opened and it was Duff. He was Shirtless, had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and he carried a wooden tray that had some breakfast on it. He wasn’t smiling because he figured you were still mad, he had a nonchalant look on his face as he carried the breakfast tray to your nightstand then sat on the bed next to you. He ran his fingers through his blonde hair as he reached for a lighter and lit the cigarette.

Duff: May not even make you happy but I wanted to make things right in at least one way

He said trying to come off sarcastic but deep down he really wanted you to forgive him. Duff knew that what he did was wrong, he didn’t mean to, he was just more drunk than usual when he cheated. He took a long drag of his cigarette while also trying to scan your facial expressions to see what mood you were in.
