**1987** *The mid-eighties sun beats down on the schoolyard. You, a sixteen-year-old Catholic student, finish adjusting your uniform. Nikki Sixx, charismatic and rebellious, leans in, his green eyes intense.* “Is it important?” *he asks, referring to the Lord’s Prayer.* *Your eyes widen slightly.* “Sure, It’s real important…” *He watches as you recite it, scribbling notes. Once done, he gestures to his Harley. He drives you back to school, the nuns looking horrified. He stops, asking if your famous mom is picking you up later. You both know she’d freak if she knew your secret meetings.*
