" Keith snap out of it!" Mick yelled.
Keith was of course high... Again.
" yeah man, I'm .... I'm listenin" he slowly nods.
" Keith why don't you sober up once in a while! You can't expect us to continue on with the band with you high all the fucking time!" Mick bellowed.
Keith slowly nodded but had no look of understanding.
" That's fucking it!" Mick said and went throughout Keith's room, taking all of his drugs and looking in all the hiding spots Keith has stored his happy medicine.
" wait what are .... Mickkk what are... You doin?" Keith slowly asked.
" Saving your ass!" Mick said and with that he slammed the hotel door.
Keith was left in his bed and in his happy place.
......1 week later......
" Oh come on Y/n it will be fun!" Mick insisted that you go to a party.
" no thank you. I wanna check up on Keith" you said. You haven't see your long time crush in over a week and it's been killing you.
" psht, he's gonna be fine " Mick said and wrapped an arm around your shoulders.
You laughed and shrugged him off.
" maybe after I check up on Keith" you said and went to the elevator.
You heard about what happened. Mick stole his drugs and locked up Keith in his room. All though you didn't like what Mick had done, it was for the better.
You clicked the floor level that you wanted and slowly the doors closed and you waved at Mick.
It would be a lie if you said you didn't love him. He was everything to you and had been since the late 60's. All though Keith was on drugs, he wasn't half as bad as he was now. You just wanted him to be okay.
The elevator stopped on Keith's level and you stepped out. Walking towards his door you slowed when you heard screams. It was in Keith's room and it sounded as if he was hurt.
" Keith?!" You said and knocked on his door. It didn't work and you still heard him scream. You quickly grabbed a key to his room from your jacket and proceeded to unlock the door.
It looked as if a tornado had been in his room.
He was in the floor shaking back and forth on his feet.
" Keith?" You said and slowly approached him.
" where are they!" Keith screamed and you jumped.
" where is what Keith?" You asked.
" my drugs!!" He yelled and threw a shoe at the door, making a loud 'thump'.
You swallowed thickly and went up to him. His eyes were red and puffy, his body shaking and sweaty. His hair greasy and askew every where.
" Keith, you don't need d-"
" WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY!!" He yelled again threw the lamp from his bedside table and began searching.
You avoided the lamp luckily but when he threw the telephone it hit you right in the stomach.
You coughed and breathed slowly then looked back up at him.
He stared at you with anger.
" Y/N WHERE IS MY STUFF!" He said and came stomping towards you.
" I don't know Keith! I don't know!" You said and panicked. He came closer and grabbed your hair.
" WHERE ARE THEY, I NEED THEM!" He yelled and pulled you.
" Keith stop, Please! I don't know!" You cried and he dropped you.
You sat down and sobbed. Keith was broken and you couldn't fix him.
He sat down and cried too.
You both sat there for a good 30 minutes crying.
" Keith? " you slowly asked and he remained sitting. You crawled over to him and wrapped your arms around him.
" get off!" He said harshly and pushed you.
" can't you see! I'm shattered, I can't even function! I'm fucking useless!" He cried across from you, looking you in the eye.
" no Keith no, your not useless." You said and crawled back over.
" yes I fucking am! I have no point in even being alive! my whole life runs on drugs and I'm slowly dying" he mutters the last part. You wrapped your arms around him again and he accepted.
" Keith you don't need drugs, you have music, friends, family, me" you whispered as he cried into your shoulder.
" not anymore " he cried and you slowly ran your fingers through his hair.
" Micks gonna kick me out, my family thinks I'm a disappointment, my friends left, and you... Your scared of me" he whispered. You shook your head and turned to look at him.
" no Keith, Micks not kicking you out, I mean come on! Your the best guitar player since Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly combined!" You said and he laughed.
" your family and friends still love you, they're just worried about you. That's all. " you stated and he nodded.
" what about you?" He asked, looking up at you.
" I am never ever gonna leave you, no matter what. I'm not mad, disappointed, scared or sad around you. I'm only happy to see you living. " you stated and he smiled. He leaned in on you and your stroked his hair again.
" you know... Your the only one that has ever cared for me, besides mama of course, but your the only one who checks up on me" he said and your heart crumpled. Why hasn't Mick or the rest of the band?
" it's okay keef it's okay" you shhh him. He nods and you feel his head move. He was staring at you.
You turned to look at him and he brung his hand up to your face. His fingers outlining your face.
" you know Y/n. I think I love you" he says and drops his hand to you neck.
" why do you say that" you breathed and he smiled.
" I always have since we met, but you know sometimes Anita and the band would get in the way, not to forget the kids." He sighs.
" but now that they're gone, I think I finally realized how important you are. You mean a lot to me Y/n, I wouldn't survive half the stuff I have without you" he says and runs his fingers down your spine.
You breathed in slightly and looked at him.
" if I had to compare you to something, you would probably be the air I breathe. " he stated and looked at you.
" Keith I wouldn't say -"
" it's true, remember when I got that lethal Injection and you were the first one to take care of me and the last one to leave the hospital. Hell my own mom wouldn't stay for a whole week straight" he chuckled and you laughed through your nose.
" and the time that my house caught fire, you immediately was there to take care of everything and helped me grab my renaming shit from the damn house." He stated.
You laughed and looked at him.
" but what meant a lot to me is when we got into that car crash." He said and you shook your head.
" Keith anyone would have done th-"
" but did they?" He questioned and you knew was right.
" hell y/n, Marlon looks up to you as a better mom then his own." He says and starts to play with your hair.
" Anita and I are drugged 24/7 and your the only one who takes care of him."
" speaking of Marlon his birthday is soon, he'll be turning seven" you spoke up.
" see! I didn't even know that! Fuck I'm horrible" he says and looks out the window.
" Keith " you said, taking your hand to his cheek, making him look at you. He grabbed your hand and kept it on his face, leaning into it.
" your not horrible, it's the drugs, they're horrible. Marlon looks up to you like your the greatest dad ever."
" he shouldn't" Keith whispered. Your thumb stroked his face and he sighed.
" he does because believe it or not he loves you. He knows about your drugs Keith, he is a smart kid, just like his dad. He knows what your going through, he just wants you to be happy" you say and feel a tear slip from Keith's eyes.
All of the sudden he grabs you a places you in his lap, holding you while he cries. After some time, Keith lowered his head and kissed your shoulder. Up your neck, to your jaw and stopped before your lips met.
" y/n, I...I..I need you" he said and you nodded.
"Every day, every night, every minute, every seconds. Y/n" he paused and began shaking again.
" I want you to stay with me, be with me, please. Please." He said and your breathing gets fast. He was pleading for you and only you, not drugs, you. You looked at him and whispered
" until the end Keith"
He smiled and kissed you deeply, putting all of his emotion and passion into it. Showing you how much you meant to him and how your were his air.
