As soon as he came to an abrupt stop faceplanting and indenting his face into the party bus, Slash picked himself up to find a very flattened girl beneath him. In shock, he immediately picked her up and brushed her off. He apologised pleadingly and then got a proper look at her. It was the cute girl from the crowd.

Slash blushed and continued saying how sorry he was to have walked into her. She didnt say anything, she just had a look of awe. So he asked her of her name. After seconds of her being lost for words she said her name was Aria. She blushed until she looked like a tomato. They both ended up sat down on the grass chatting once Aria had snapped out of her daze.

Slash and Aria became friends after that, and good friends. They would meet each other every few days up on the hill they met. It had an amazing view over the cliffside of a valley full of trees and a river flowing through it. Thats why they loved it there.

After a month, Slash had a fully developed crush for Aria. In gigs, he would sing more backing vocals just because he knew she loved it. But one day they were talking up on the hill, trouble arrived.

Haters of the Rocket Baby Dolls showed up and starting making fun of Slash. Aria got brave and stood to defend him because they were about to hurt him. Slash stood up to stop her. The bullies pushed Aria and she pushed Slash. They both fell backwards. Aria fell over Slash and over the cliffside. Slash twisted in mid air and landed on his stomach and then grabbed her hand before she could slip away.

The bullies left the two in this very dangerous situation chuckling. Slash held onto Aria's hand tightly as tears leaked from his wide eyes. Aria was dangling over the cliff and below was the hard, hard ground.

This part is written like a fanfic:

"Aria!" Slash screamed through clenched teeth. Aria whimpered in fear and looked back up to Slash who was trying not to cry. "S-Slash... I can't... g-get up" Aria slipped a few centimetres away. "No Aria! I can't - no I won't let you go!" They both began to cry. "A-Aria, you are my world. I love you and I can't let you fade away. You've always been my best friend since we met, and I know you won't feel the same but I have loved you since the beginning..." Aria gazed at him with wide eyes. "I love you too Slash!" She gasped "but i'm too heavy to be saved, you were my idol for two years and i'm honoured to have been your friend... This was anything a fan could've wished for..." She closed her eyes. "Aria, don't say that in the past tense! I will save you!" Slash whimpered. Aria's hand had become sweaty. "Aria don't leave me!" Slash screamed in desperation. Aria smiled weakly and let herself slip out of his grasp. "Slash, I-" Her sentence was cut off as she fell away. "NO ARIA!!" Slash screamed as she left him alone on the cliff.

He didn't want to look. He didn't want to see her lifeless body all the way down there. He crawled a few metres away from the cliffside and broke down in tears. Enzo found him sobbing in a ball hugging himself.

"Slash, what happened? What's wrong?! Slash!" Enzo became concerned and picked him up. "I'm taking you to the party bus, okay?" Slash didn't protest. He continued crying into Enzo all the way back and eventually fell asleep. Enzo placed him on the backseat and told the bandmates he had found him like that at the top of the hill.

After waking up, Slash was distraught. He couldn't speak about what had happened and ended up leaving a letter for the band to read.

"Dear friends, I have to leave the band. I'm sorry, but I can't go on. You guys new Aria, right? Well she and I got trouble with the haters and they pushed her over the cliffside. I couldn't hold onto her. I couldn't save her... But she was my everything.

If I stayed in the band I wouldn't be able to preform live ever again. I get serious panic attacks and flashbacks after my loss and I couldn't bear to ever pick up my guitar again. I can't bear to even look at it now...

Thank you Enzo, for carrying me back to the others. I wouldn't have ever left the hill if you weren't there. Thank you Ben and Natsu for everything in the band. Thank you all for being my bandmates, but it's time for me to leave. I'll visit you sometime when i'm not a mess.

This is goodbye for now, Slash out."

A few tear stains were dotted on the paper and it was slightly crumpled up, as if he almost hadn't left it there for then to read. But when they found it he had long gone.

Slash stayed in his home and didn't talk to anyone for a month. He didn't eat or wash. He was a real state. But after that Enzo came round and began looking after him. After a few months he was much better and he had been perscribed with anti depressants and diagnosed with PTSD and depression. Medication helped and Enzo helped a lot.

When Slash had got back onto his feet he went out more. But he kept coming across people with names like Amaria or Karia. When he started to talk to them something bad would happen to them. They'd always end up dead.

Slash lives with this conspiracy of "Arias". It all started with Aria. He can't get close to anyone with a similar name. This was until Saria came along three years later. He looked at her and knew she'd be the one to end it all. Now they're together and expecting a baby very soon! Slash couldn't be happier.

Everything was good up until the cliff side point and after honestly! The cliff was a little weird because why wouldn't he have just held out both hands and then have them both work their way up into the edge of the cliff? I'm sure she could do it if she tried. But.... She didn't try. If she tried and failed it would be okay, but he way you wrote it made it seem like suicide which was not a good idea on her part(ending her and Slash's relationship, scarring Slash, ending her life, etc.) especially since she did it right in front of him. I think you got the PTSD part right though. Also no way are some twelve year olds going to start a band and et popular(the only ones I can think of are the naked brothers band and I'm p sure that was a tv show)
But!! I did like the interactions between Slash and Aria and his band! I thought that was really nice. I was Slasharia was a thing I could ship honestly ;-; and you should draw the band! I want to see what Enzo looks like, he seems cool.

lol I meant to just comment on the cliff but I felt that I should tell you what I liked about your story so it didn't feel like I was being a bich XD

^ Oh thanks for the compliments and the critique! I think Slash couldnt get to both hands at the same time tho :/ I just kinda thought as Slash was only 12 he wouldn't have had the strength to pull her up ono' Also the band prolly only had 300 fans or so but i know i made it sound like they had more :/ (this is just me trying to improve it on the spot xD)

Haha lol no problem! Yeah I'd say a twelve year old you probly wouldn't have had the strength and nice save ;)

Ahhh poor Slash! I did really like the backstory! ouo I think you did a great job! I wonder what Aria is up to now hmmm :o
