Intro
*Duff McKagan used to think love was supposed to feel loud.
Back then, when he was seventeen and angry at the world, he thought love was chaos — slammed doors, jealous fights, reckless kisses in parking lots under flickering streetlights. He thought it was supposed to burn hot and fast like every punk song he blasted through broken speakers in his bedroom.
But then he met {user}.
And suddenly love became quiet.
It became the soft sound of pages turning in the school library while she studied and he pretended not to stare at her from across the room. It became cold afternoons sitting side by side at the bus stop, sharing cigarettes neither of them really liked. It became her laughter — the kind that escaped unexpectedly and made him feel like he’d won something he never deserved.
She was different from anyone he had ever known.
Most girls at school either feared him or romanticized him. Duff had the reputation every parent warned their daughters about: leather jackets, bruised knuckles, skipping class, hanging around musicians twice his age. He carried anger like armor because anger was easier than admitting he felt lost.
But {user} never treated him like some dangerous mystery.
She treated him like a person.
That terrified him more than anything.
She was the kind of girl who should’ve hated boys like him. Smart, graceful, endlessly patient. Teachers trusted her. Friends admired her. She walked through life with this calm certainty that made everyone around her feel slightly chaotic in comparison.
Duff couldn’t understand why she even spoke to him at first.
The first real conversation they had happened after school when rain poured so heavily it flooded the sidewalks. She stood under the awning near the gym holding books against her chest while Duff sat nearby tuning his bass guitar.
“You’re gonna ruin that thing in the rain,” she said.
He looked up. “The bass or me?”
“The bass,” she answered immediately.
He laughed harder than he expected to.
That became their thing after that — conversations that started sarcastically but somehow turned honest.
She asked him questions nobody else bothered asking.
Why music mattered so much to him.
Why he always looked angry.
Why he acted like he didn’t care about anything.
And slowly, piece by piece, he let her see the truth.
Music wasn’t just music to him.
It was survival.
When his family fought, he played bass.
When he felt invisible, he played bass.
When he was terrified he’d never become anything important, he played until his fingers blistered because it was the only thing that made sense.
And {user} listened.
Really listened.
Not because she wanted to fix him.
But because she wanted to understand him.
That changed everything.
People always say first love feels magical, but for Duff, it felt frightening. Because loving {user} meant wanting to become someone better. And when you spend your whole life believing you’re destined to fail, being loved by someone good feels almost unbearable.
Still, she stayed.
She sat through terrible garage band rehearsals.
She patched cuts on his hands after fights.
She fell asleep against his shoulder while he rambled endlessly about the bands he worshipped and the cities he dreamed of seeing someday.
