Conflicted : Pt 12🎀
Maddy P.O.V
Izzy and I slipped back into the theatre without Duff looking at us twice.
Axl noticed though. He nudged me a bit and looked at me with a questioned look over his face.
“What?” I asked, not able to hide the wide grin that was apparent on my face.
“You guys fucked for sure.” he laughed causing Slash and Duff to look our way.
“Shut up Axl.” I huffed hitting his shoulder and turning the head away from the two boys.
“Axl your ruining the movie with your laughing.” Slash groaned pushing Axl.
Axl bumped into me causing me to fall on Izzy’s lap.
“Axl!” I yelled getting up from Izzy’s lap and standing in front of him.
“It wasn’t me. It was Slash I swear!” he shrugged putting his hands out to point at Slash who was cluelessly looking around.
“Come on. I’m sorry okay?” he apologized grabbing my hand to give it a kiss.
“Fuck off.” Izzy spat pulling Axl’s hand apart from mine and pulling me into his lap.
“Okay let’s just leave. Since no one wants to watch the movie.” Duff shouted rolling his eyes as he left down the stairs.
We all followed shortly after, deciding that we were all hungry and wanted to go eat at the diner.
Axl had lodged himself right next to me, with Izzy on the other side, growing more irritated by the second of Axl’s growing affection for me.
“Maddy what are you getting?” Izzy asked looking up from the menu.
“Pancakes.” I grinned, looking over at the booth in front of us with a freshly stacked plate of buttermilk pancakes.
I hadn’t eaten this whole day so I was carving up a huge appetite.
“I want pancakes too.” Axl smirked looking at me.
Izzy rolled his eyes at Axl’s innuendo, putting his arm around me to pull me closer towards him.
“What’s the matter Izzy. Scared you’ll loose your girl to me.” Axl joked seeing how Izzy was trying to get me away from him.
“What’s your deal Ax. Why are you up on my girl all of a sudden.” he retorted looking at him stern faced.
“Because I can.” Axl replied pulling me to him.
“I can because I’m Axl Rose and I can do whatever I want, like this.” he said before grabbing my face and planting an open mouthed kiss.
“What the fuck!” Izzy shouted getting up from his seat to push Axl away roughly.
“Get up.”
“Izzy chill I was just messing with you.” Axl shrugged.
Before Axl could think of another snarky remark, Izzy punched him really hard causing his head to snap back.
“Izzy!” I squealed, staring at Axl’s bloody face in shock.
“Maddy why are you defending him.” Izzy spat looking at me with disgust.
“I’m not defending him but you shouldn’t have done that baby.” I said trying to grab his hand, but he pulled it away and excused himself to get up from the booth.
“Fuck him.” I heard Axl mutter as he scrambled to get himself up and grab a bunch of napkins.
“Here.” I said wetting the napkin with some water to get rid of the blood that was now stained and crusting a bit on the side of his face.
“M sorry about Izzy. I don’t know what came over him but you shouldn’t have kissed me Axl.”
“I’m sorry too. I’m just jealous that Izzy has someone like you.”
“What do you mean?” I asked looking up at him.
“You’re so kind, and caring and you’re not like those girls who sleep around. That’s pretty rare if you ask me.” he sighed.
“Thanks Axl. And I’m sure you’ll find someone great very soon. Your not a bad person like everyone thinks your are.”
“Thanks Maddy. That means a lot actually.” he said looking into my eyes.
I didn’t realize that we were both staring into each others eyes when Duff coughed all of a sudden, making us both jump.
“Maddy, Izzy left back home.” Duff said making me get up from the booth.
“Where are you going?” my brother asked grabbing my hand to stop me.
“Back home to Izzy.” I said before I left the diner and called a taxi, leaving the rest behind.
“Izzy!” I shouted as soon as I entered the apartment, looking around for any signs of him.
I checked Duff’s room which was empty and the living room which was also empty of Iz.
“In here.” a voice spoke from inside of my room.
I opened the door to my room and saw Izzy sitting on my bed with the tv on.
He was watching Tommy.
It was one of his favorite movies from his childhood so I had bought it for him during my stay here in L.A. so we could watch it together on nights when we would both stay up late.
I climbed up on the bed and sat next to him, putting an arm around his waist to which he removed.
“Iz. What’s wrong?” I asked cupping his cheeks to face me.
He removed the grasp of his cheeks from my hands and scooted away a bit from me.
“Are you and Ax secretly in love with each other or something?” he spit quietly but harshly.
“Are you mad because I helped him! He was bleeding for god’s sake and I was worried.” I shouted sitting up on my knees to face him.
“I left Maddy and you didn’t even care. You were too busy kissing Axl and making him feel better.” he hissed staring blankly at the television screen.
“I love you.” I told him attempting to grab his face so I could kiss him but he kept moving away from me like I wasn’t his girlfriend and some annoying hooker that wouldn’t leave him alone.
“Izzy please. I love you.” I whined, tears dropping onto my cheeks from frustration.
“No you don’t. Or else you wouldn’t have let Axl kiss you like that in front of everyone.” he scoffed getting up from the bed and throwing the tv remote hard, against the wall.
I jumped a little from his sudden outburst and crawled further into my blanket, covering myself with it to drown out the noises of my sobbing.
I didn’t think that I liked Axl. I really didn’t but after he was treating me so nicely I couldn’t help but feel a little attraction towards him.
There was also the fact that I shared something so special with him like loosing my virginity.
But I loved Izzy there was no changing that. I just didn’t know how to let Axl down easy.
Are you going to write more chapters for the conflicted series?

Conflicted: Pt 11🎀
(i rewrote this bcuz the other version of this chapter lowkey didn’t make sense to me!!!)
Maddy P.O.V
The next day I decided to spend the day with Izzy since Duff knew about our relationship now.
I wanted to make the most out of it because I had no idea what I was going to do when I left L.A. after the summer was over.
“Are you ready?” Izzy yelled causing me sped up the rest of my makeup routine.
“Yes!” I replied shoving myself into my sundress and combing my hair.
“Finally. I’ve been waiting for like 30 minutes.”
“Geez. I’m sorry.” I spat grabbing Duff’s keys.
“It’s okay. Next time be quicker or else I’ll leave with Angela.”
“What!” I yelled staring at him with a confused look on my face.
“I’m only kidding Maddy.” he laughed coming up to kiss me.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” I grinned kissing him before we both left to go to the movies.
On the way there I could see the hills in the background of L.A. peek out and it reminded me so much of home but instead of hills we had mountains back in Seattle.
“This reminds me so much of home.” I sighed leaning against the window.
“Your from Seattle right? I’ve heard so many good things about it from Duff.”
“Yeah. I love it there. It’s definitely not as glamorous as L.A. but that’s my home.”
“I feel you. Sometimes I miss Indiana too but then I remember there’s nothing for me over there. My future lies in L.A.”
“Yeah and me of course!” I winked causing him to let out a a little laugh.
“So I wanted to ask you something?”
“Yeah. What?” he asked raising his brow.
“What’s gonna happen to us when I go back to Seattle?” I asked wondering whether or not he would tell me something I wanted to hear or the opposite.
“I don’t know Maddy. I guess time will time.” he sighed shaking his head.
What does he mean by that.
As he turned the corner the movie theatre came into view and on the sign outside in big black bold letters read “BATMAN”.
“HEY GUYS!” I heard as soon as we stepped out of the car.
Oh my god. What was Duff doing here with Slash and Axl?!?!?
“Izzy did you tell them we were coming to watch a movie.” I whined stomping my foot.
“I swear I didn’t say a word.” he shrugged putting his hands in the air.
“Soooo guys what movie are we watching!” Slash grinned with his dark black shades covering his eyes.
“Batman.” Axl replied looking rather angry.
“Hi Axl.” I waved, rather nervously after what had happened between us both.
“Hey.” he harshly replied before walking off with Slash to go get tickets.
“The fuck.” Izzy responded looking off at Axl in confusion.
“I-It’s fine let’s just go.” I said tugging on Izzy’s arm to follow them in line for tickets.
“We’re all going to see Batman. Looks like we’ll be in the same theater room.” Duff grinned holding up all our tickets.
“Did you do this on purpose!” I huffed scrunching my nose in anger at my older brother.
“No Maddy I did not.” he replied rolling his eyes at me before walking off to the ICEE machine.
“Look at my mouth guys!” Slash laughed sticking out his tongue which was now a dark blue color due to the raspberry ICEE he was slurping on.
Axl looked and rolled his eyes at the scene.
I noticed Axl didn’t have anything in his hand so I offered to get him something.
“Axl did you want anything? I was gonna go get some candy?”
“Coming from you. No thanks.” he scoffed crossing his arms.
“Did I do something?” I asked wondering why he had this sudden attitude change.
“Nope. Not at all.” he replied casually walking past me with Duff and Slash to the theatre.
“Forget about him Maddy. He’s not your problem.” Izzy groaned grabbing my hand in his and leading me to our seats.
I squinted my eyes trying to look at the dimly lit theatre to see where exaclty and seat was and you can imagine the shock on my face when I see my seat is right next to Axl.
And Izzy is right next to me. Making me the monkey in the middle.
Great.
“This will be interesting.” Axl smirked shifting in his seat towards me.
Wasn’t he just mad earlier?
“Keep your eyes on the movie Axl.” Izzy threatened giving him a stare.
Axl just rolled his eyes and grabbed a handful of popcorn shoving it in his mouth.
“Hey! That’s my popcorn.” Slash whined grabbing it and putting it away from Axl.
“It’s mine too. I paid half!” Axl argued grabbing it again causing some of the popcorn to go flying in the air.
“Guys! Behave for god’s sake.” Duff shouted as the movie lights became even dimmer and eventually shut off completely, signaling the start of the movie.
Izzy and I got comfortable in our seat and I leaned my head against his shoulder halfway in the movie trying hard not to fall asleep.
I could feel Axl staring at us throughout the movie as we cuddled but I ignored it not thinking too much about it.
“Can you guys move please. I have to pee.” Axl groaned shoving my legs aside to get through to the stairs.
“You could’ve waited.” I thought rolling my eyes as Axl’s childish behavior at times.
“Don’t worry about it. He’s just an ass like that.” Izzy said noticing the look on my face.
“It’s okay.” I said giving him an assuring smile.
“I love you.”
“I love you too.” Izzy grinned.
I leaned in and gave him a kiss unable to control myself when he started at me with those soft eyes of his.
He was so handsome.
“Your so handsome Izzy.” I moaned deepening the kiss and grabbing at him to pull him closer towards me.
“Ew!” I heard my older brother spat making me pull away quickly and sheepishly grin.
“I don’t know. I thought it was hot.” Slash smirked giving me a wink.
I blushed and looked away towards the movie screen seeing Izzy with a similar smirk plastered over his face.
“Tell Duff you have to use the restroom.” he whispered as he got up and left quickly so Duff and Slash wouldn’t notice.
“D-Duff. I have to go pee.” I muttered not giving him a chance to reply as I rushed down the stairs and opened the exit door, letting the cool air touch my skin.
I didn’t see Izzy so I continued walking down the narrow corridor of the theatre when I ran into Axl by accident.
“Watch where you’re going sweetie.” he said giving me a tight lipped smile.
“What’s your deal! I haven’t done anything to you today and your being so mean.” I shouted.
He looked rather harshly towards me at my behavior and grabbed my arm really tight to pull me aside.
“Why are you with him?”
“Izzy?”
“Yeah. I thought you two broke up after what happened.” he said referring to what conspired between the both of us.
“I love him. You know that.” I replied stern faced.
“I could treat you way better than Iz.” he whispered twirling a lock of my hair in his finger and caressing my arm with his fingertips.
“Axl stop. I’m with Izzy.”
I pushed him away from me and ran off desperately trying to find Izzy.
“What’s wrong?” Izzy asked catching me at the end of the corridor.
“N-nothing. Was just looking for you.” I lied not wanting to tell him about my encounter with Axl.
“C’mere.” he tugged, taking me to a corner of the corridor where no one could see us.
“You looked so good in this dress. I had to take you out for a bit so I could play with it.” he mumbled playing with the lace fabric on the ends.
I stared up at him with my big brown eyes waiting for him to do something as I had always secretly dreamed about in my bed at night.
He leaned in slowly and brought his lips to mine, capturing them in a french kiss.
“Taste so good. Like strawberries.” he said, licking my lips with his tongue before messily pulling me back into a sloppy kiss.
He ran his hand up my thigh letting go of the lace to slip a finger into my panties testing how much I could take.
“Fuck I wanna take you from behind right here.” he groaned feeling how nicely my pussy sucked in his finger.
“I’ve been waiting for you to fuck the shit out of me from the day I met you.” I whined looking up at him and spewing out all of my dirty thoughts which were coming to mind at a rapid rate everytime his finger curled upwards in my pussy.
I didn’t hold back and he could see it the way I was begging, whining and breathing out for him basically like a bitch in heat.
“I’ve turned you into a bad girl huh. What happened to my innocent little baby” he asked with a smug look on his face.
“I’m still your good girl but I wanna be a dirty girl right now for your cock.” I mumbled looking at him rather seductively as I had seen on television.
“Be quiet or else someone will hear.” he spat, roughly grabbing a handful of my hair and pulling me close to his face so he could swallow all my moans with his lips.
“I don’t care if Duff sees me. I want you.” I moaned feeling myself getting tighter around his fingers.
“Wait don’t cum yet. Get on your knees.” he said pulling on my hair to yank me down.
“You have to suck me off before I fuck you hard or else it’ll hurt.”
“O-okay.” I nodded looking up at him with big doe eyes as I took his jeans off, suddenly feeling a new sense of confidence, wanting nothing more than to please him.
I had no idea what I was doing but I nodded at everything he said wanting to please him as I looked up at him like a deer in headlights.
“Baby just suck on it like a lollipop okay.” he cooed noticing my behavior before he cupped my cheek and rubbed his dick between my lips, slapping it a few times on my cheek.
I let out a big glob of spit and let it run down his dick before rubbing it in with my hand and giving it a few kisses on the tip like I would on his lips.
I slowly stared sucking on it as much as I could fit in my mouth while rubbing off the part that wouldn’t fit.
“Fuck just like that baby. You look so looking sexy like this with my cock in your mouth. Like a dirty little slut.” he groaned bucking his hips forward.
He let me suck on it for a few more seconds before choving my head forward causing me to choke and then letting me up to breathe.
“Turn around baby.”
I lifted up my dress and put my hands on the wall so he could easily take me from behind.
I wiggled my ass for him as the puffy pink lips of my pussy were on display for him and the moment I had been waiting for ever since we met was finally happening.
“I don’t think I can be gentle with you.” he grunted shoving his cock inside me roughly.
Even though I wasn’t a virgin anymore I still felt the occasional pinch whenever he went deeper and I couldn’t help but out let tiny squeals causing him to slow down occasionally.
“Not even a virgin and I still have to fuckin open this pussy up huh?” he said spewing out all these filthy phrases I’d never heard before or experienced, making me go dumb.
“S-so big.” I babbled unable to think straight as I felt his girth stretching me out way more than Axl’s.
“Did Axl fuck you like this?” he asked grabbing my hair in a ponytail and jackhammering into my pussy.
“F-Feels so good I-Iz.” I sobbed hearing the wet sounds of his cock going in and out my pussy.
I could feel my arousal coating my thighs.
“Answer me.”
“N-no no he didn’t. I didn’t get f-fucked this good.” I whined, talking obscenely on the brink of orgasm.
He pulled out abruptly and turned me around to face him before sliding back in.
“Wanna see you when you cum.” he whispered kissing me and letting his tongue mix with mine.
“Faster Izzy. I’m gonna cum.” I whined as my back arched and my eyes rolled back involuntarily.
“Fuck yeah take my fucking cock. Cum all over it baby.” he grunted leaving red imprints on my waist from gripping it so tight.
“Uhnnn- I’m cumming.” I squealed before my vision went black and my legs shook rapidly.
“Shit shit shit.” he said before releasing inside me.
He let me down allowing me to fix my dress while he pulled his pants up and grabbed my shaky hand to give it a soft kiss.
“That was so good Iz.” I giggled with my newly flushed face and reddened cheeks, all of a sudden too embarrassed to look him in the eyes after all the dirty things I did.
“Yeah? I’m glad.”

Conflicted Ch 30🎀:
Maddy sat at the edge of the bed, contemplating her thoughts.
After Izzy had cornered Maddy, Axl came to see how everything was going and invited Maddy to come talk with him about something serious after he left her hanging downstairs. She politely declined and left to go in the empty media room where the tv was playing an ongoing loop of everything Guns N’ Roses.
But her eyes were fixated on the tall bassist and fiery redhead. Her chest tightening as she watched them.
Izzy turned, his dark hair catching the rays of the stage light, and it was almost as if his eyes found hers through the screen.
Even from the television, Maddy felt the pull of him, the magnetic force that had drawn her in since she came out here for the first time.
His quiet confidence. And the way he always seemed to know what was going on with her, whenever she couldn’t.
But then there was Axl.
Loud, brash and impossible to ignore.
Maddy dropped her gaze, her thoughts spiraling back to the moments that had brought her here, stuck between two boys who couldn’t be more different………
Flashback: 2 months ago
The first time Izzy kissed her, they were sitting in the room of her brothers apartment. It was a hot summer night, the air thick with the scent of honeysuckle. They’d spent hours talking about everything and nothing, their legs dangling over each others.
“You ever think about the future?” Izzy had asked, his voice soft, almost hesitant.
“Sometimes,” Maddy had replied, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “But it feels so far away, you know?”
Izzy had nodded, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, littered with glowing stars. Then he turned to her, his eyes searching hers. “I think about it a lot. And you’re always in it.”
Before she could respond, he leaned in, his lips brushing hers. It was tentative, sweet, and it made her heart race in a way nothing else ever had.
Maddy blinked, the memory fading as the present came rushing back. She glanced toward Izzy again, her heart aching. Things had been so simple back then. But now, everything was complicated.
Ever since Duff had found out, it had been nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions tearing through her heart every single night.
Axl’s laugh broke through her thoughts, drawing her attention. He was leaning against the frame of the now opened door, his arms crossed, his signature smirk firmly in place.
And then there was Axl.., painfully arrogant, a whirlwind of ego wrapped in leather and chaos, his voice cutting through the air as sharply as his unapologetic self-importance.
But even in his world of glittering façades and hollow adoration, he couldn’t ignore her—the one who was real in a sea of fake smiles and fame-chasers. She saw through the noise, and for the first time, he found himself craving something deeper than the spotlight…..
Flashback to Duff’s apartment……..
It had been a chaotic party at Duff’s, the kind of party where the music was too loud and the air smelled like cheap beer and perfume. Maddy had been standing in the kitchen, nursing a soda, when Axl had appeared beside her.
“Not your scene, huh?” he’d said, leaning casually against the counter.
“Not really,” she’d admitted, glancing around the crowded room.
Axl had grinned, his green eyes sparkling with mischief. “Come on, then. Let’s get out of here.”
Before she could protest, he’d grabbed her hand, leading her out the back door and into the night. They’d ended up at the old train tracks, sitting on the hood of his car and talking until the sky turned pink with dawn.
“You’re not like other girls,” Axl had said, his voice low. “You’re… real.”
Maddy had laughed, shaking her head. “What does that even mean?”
“It means you don’t pretend to be someone you’re not,” he’d replied, his gaze intense. “And I like that about you.”
Now, as she sat on the worn down sofa, Maddy felt the weight of those memories pressing down on her. She cared about both of them, but in such different ways.
Izzy represented safety, the kind of love that felt like home. He was the boy who knew her favorite book, who remembered the little things that no one else did. Even when he would hurt her the little things he would do for her would make up for it.
But Axl… Axl was fire. He made her feel alive in a way that was both exhilarating and terrifying.
Maddy sat on the couch, legs curled beneath her, staring blankly at the muted television. The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of the screen and the warm light of a nearby lamp. She wasn’t watching anything in particular; her mind was too cluttered with thoughts to focus. The weight of the situation bore down on her, pressing against her chest like an invisible hand.
The creak of the door broke her trance. She didn’t have to look up to know who it was. She felt his presence before she even saw him. Axl stood there, leaning casually against the doorframe, his leather jacket still on, as if he hadn’t decided whether he was staying or leaving. His eyes, sharp and unwavering, bore into her, but she refused to meet them.
“I know you see me,” he said, his voice cutting through the silence. “But you’re choosing to ignore me.” He stepped further into the room, his boots heavy against the wooden floor. “The problem won’t go away just because you’re pretending it doesn’t exist, Maddy.”
Still, she didn’t respond. Her fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the couch cushion, but her gaze remained fixed on the television.
Axl sighed, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “You’re making this harder than it has to be,” he muttered, his tone softer now, almost pleading.
Before she could muster a response, another figure appeared in the doorway. Izzy. His presence was less imposing, quieter, but no less intense. His dark eyes flicked between Maddy and Axl, and a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
“You’re not helping, Axl,” Izzy said, stepping into the room. He crossed the space to Maddy’s side and crouched down in front of her, his tone gentle, almost tender. “Hey,” he murmured, reaching for her hand. “You don’t have to say anything. I know this is a lot, but I just want you to know how much I care about you. How much I love you.”
Maddy finally looked up, her eyes meeting Izzy’s. There was a softness there, a vulnerability that made her chest ache. He squeezed her hand lightly, as if grounding her in the moment.
Axl scoffed from across the room, his arms crossed over his chest. “That’s your pitch, Izzy? Sweet words and puppy-dog eyes? You think that’s enough?” He took a step closer, his voice growing sharper. “I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be. At least I own up to my mistakes. I don’t hide behind pretty words.”
Izzy didn’t flinch. He stayed focused on Maddy, his expression calm and resolute. “This isn’t about being a man, Axl. It’s about what she needs. And she doesn’t need someone who’s going to bulldoze their way through her life.”
Maddy inhaled deeply, finally finding her voice. “Stop,” she said, her tone firm but not unkind. She looked at Axl, her expression pained but resolute. “I can’t do this anymore. I care about you, Axl, but this… this isn’t right for me. I need to move on. We both do.”
Axl’s jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and hurt. He opened his mouth to argue but stopped himself. Instead, he nodded stiffly, his lips pressing into a thin line. Without another word, he turned and walked out, the door clicking shut behind him.
Maddy exhaled, her shoulders sagging with the release of tension. Izzy sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “You okay?” he asked softly.
“I don’t know.” she croaked thinking about the consequences of her actions.
“Hey, don’t worry about him okay?” Izzy groaned.
“I can’t just not worry about him Izzy!” she sternly replied.
“Why not?” he harshly asked.
“Because I care for him a lot.” was the last thing she said before getting up and leaving out the door.

Conflicted: Pt. 8🎀
i have 2 chapters for yall today i’m posting the other one later tonight ;)
Maddy P.O.V
I don’t really remember what happened after my breakdown at the beach because I had fallen asleep on the way back to the apartment.
And when I woke up I was tucked into my bed with the lights closed.
I looked around for my alarm clock to check the time and it read 11:00 pm.
I was out for that long?
I peeked around and saw some light coming from underneath my door meaning someone was awake in the kitchen.
Although I didn’t hear any noises I figured whoever it was, was probably just watching MTV.
Duff usually stayed up till 2 in the morning before calling it a night so it could most definitely be him or…..Izzy.
I stood up and ripped my door open, expecting to see my brother seated on the couch, which he was, along with Izzy.
They were both watching tv silently, as if they had had an argument , and neither was acknowledging the other.
“Finally. You're awake," Duff said, not in the least bit excited to see me.
Strange.
“Come and sit here, Maddy," he urged, patting the empty space next to him on the couch that was far away from Izzy.
"W-What's wrong?" I questioned, stealing a look at Izzy, who refused to move his gaze away from the television screen.
I could tell by his face something was wrong. That face he always made when he was angry was very visible right now.
“I’m only gonna ask you this once and you better fucking tell me the damn truth Maddy Elizabeth Mckagan.”
“Are you and Izzy fucking?”
“What! Why would you say something like that.” I squealed jumping up from my seat catching Izzy’s attention.
“We’re definitely not fucking Duff.” Izzy barked lighting up a cigarette.
“Then what’s going on! I’m not an idiot like you both may think. I can hear whispers and even the tiniest of noises from my bedroom.”
“At first I thought you would be sneaking Angela in every night when everyone would be sleeping. But then I woke up to pee one night and I peeked outside to see the action and I see Maddy on top of you!” he snapped pushing Izzy.
“I’m not sleeping with Maddy, if you want the honest truth but I did fool around with her.”
“How far did you do with her?”
“Duff please let it go-
“You have no right to be talking right now Maddy. Now let him finish.” Duff threatened making me sit back down and accept what was to come.
“We just messed around like y’know rubbing on each other and shit.” Izzy stated attempting to hide the smirk that was threatening to appear.
Duff was very quiet for a bit and placed his hands on his hips like he was thinking about what to do next.
I could see how angry he was by the way his chest was moving up and down in big breaths.
“I want you out of my fucking apartment. Fucking now!” my brother yelled grabbing Izzy by the shirt and shoving him into the door.
“Duff stop please. I-I love him.”
“You what?” he asked very quietly.
“I love Izzy.” I mumbled staring at him with glossy eyes.
“I can’t believe this right now. My sister and one of my best friends going behind my back like this.”
“I can’t even stand to look at you.” he glared with disgust.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to happen I swear.” I cried grabbing onto my brothers arm.
He shoved me off his arm and stomped off into his room slamming the door so loud that a few of the kitchen decor fell and broke.
“Fuck this.” was all Izzy said before leaving out the door and leaving me standing there a mess all by myself.
“Izzy wait!” I yelled chasing after him outside the apartment.
“Izzy please just wait.”
“Maddy just leave me alone.” he huffed slightly annoyed by me stopping him.
“No I won’t. I won’t leave you alone until you tell me why your being so mean to me. All I said was I love you.”
“You don’t love me. You’re only 16. I know what it’s like to feel that way towards someone and I don’t feel it about you.”
“I’m sorry.” he said before turning around and leaving.
“I’m sorry.” rang throughout my head and it just felt like my heart got stabbed a thousand times over and over again.
Izzy P.O.V
Fuck I felt like the biggest asshole on earth after saying that lie to Maddy.
The truth was that I had never felt this way about any girl before and it scared me to even think about it.
But I did love Maddy. She just couldn’t know. I would rather have her hate me than know I love her too.
Because once she finds out she’ll want to be in a relationship and expect things out of me like a normal boyfriend and I can’t do that for her.
My whole life I’ve never had an actual faithful relationship and I wasn’t so sure if I was ready to give all of that up.
Maddy was the perfect girl anyone could ever ask for but out of Duff’s sake I was going to stay away from her.
As much as I loved Maddy I felt the same way about Duff.
He was like a brother to me and I couldn’t continue on this way with his little sister if he felt so harshly about it.
And I was worried about him kicking me out of the band even though he didn’t have that much power, lately Axl had been a major asshole towards me so it wouldn’t be a shock if I found out I was kicked out just because of this.
The best option for now was to stay away from Maddy at all costs.
Conflicted Pt: 14 🎀
Izzy P.O.V
Our band received the best selling album label by the time our tour had ended, but our manager scheduled us to perform a gig at the Troubadour for old times sake.
We agreed to it, of course, it was nostalgic for us too, to see how far we had come since the last time we were at the Troubadour.
I was also excited for Maddy to come and see us perform since she’d never seen me play live.
“Izzy do you think your groupies will show up tonight.” she scoffed looking through her pile of clothes, scattered everywhere in the closet.
“Can’t say they won’t but I don’t care about them when I have you.” I cooed pulling her in from behind, so her body was pressed against mine.
She looked into the standing mirror that was in her closet and sighed.
“I wish you would hug me like this in front of them to show them your mine.”
“Baby-
“I know I know, it would ruin your playboy imagine.” she muttered pulling away to bend down at the black dress that was peeking out of the pile.
“You are not wearing that.” I laughed grabbing the flimsy material and throwing it at the top of her shelf.
“I am! If you don’t want us to be seen together then I don’t have to dress like I’m in a relationship.” Maddy retorted fisting her hands at her sides and stomping her foot down.
“I’m not letting you around the guys with this dress.” I told her imagining what would happen if she wore the tiny fabric.
I know Axl would love it.
“You’re not the boss of me.” she said attempting to grab at the shelf with her 5’6 frame.
“If you can grab it. You can wear it…I guess.” I replied rolling my eyes at her persistence to wear the tiny piece of clothing.
Did she have any idea what Axl would do if he saw her in the dress?
All of his self control would go out the door and into Maddy’s panties.
We all arrived an hour late to the gig since Duff got into an argument with Maddy over the tiny black dress and threatened her to change but Maddy didn’t budge so they went at it for another 20 minutes.
I intervened and told Maddy to just wear my jean jacket over it to which Duff agreed and said was a great solution.
“Maddy I better not see you without that jacket at the venue. I’m just trying to protect you from the guys y’know.” Duff sighed, looking at his younger sister who was currently ignoring him at the moment.
“It’s okay man. I’ll look at her.” I said giving Duff a reassuring nod before we all hopped into his car and made our way to the venue.
Slash,Axl and Steven all came together since they lived closer than Duff.
And obviously I didn’t have a place at the moment so I technically lived with Duff.
“I’m so excited to play this gig!” Steven exclaimed twisting his drumsticks in between his fingers and kicking his feet at the table which was provided in the backstage room.
“Same.” Slash replied chugging down the bottle of Jack Daniel while taking a few drags of his cigarette.
I couldn’t tell where he was looking since his shades were completely covering his eyes and his hat hid most of his upper forehead, hiding any expressions.
But I could see him smiling and giggling to Axl about something, and Axl was looking directly towards Maddy.
“Is something the matter guys?” I asked, my tone visibly bitter as I give Axl a stern look.
Axl then turned towards me with the opposite expression of which he displayed just a few seconds ago and raised his eyebrows a bit.
“Why?” he rudely asked smoking his cigarette and blowing the smoke in my face.
“Fuck off with that shit.” I told him, mostly annoyed by the smoke in my face but also wanting him to back off from Maddy who was completely clueless in what was going on.
“You’re not her daddy Izzy. She can do as she pleases.” Axl smirked getting up from the couch to give some stray groupies autographs.
Maddy sat at the floor since we all took up the couch, I had insisted for her to sit on my lap but she said she was more comfortable on the floor at my knees, I didn’t mind since I got to play with her hair while we did interviews.
Which was a big stress reliever.
I loved having her around during press interviews since I hated fucking speaking to them because all they wanted to know was bullshit personal questions instead of the real discussion, which was music.
“Iz. I have to pee.” Maddy whispered getting up slowly so her dress didn’t ride up.
I was still kind of mad at her for wearing the dress but when she stood up the dress straightened out enough for the jean jacket to cover her ass.
“Will you be okay alone baby?” I asked, since she hadn’t been to the Troubadour before, I wanted to make sure she was comfortable because there were always creeps at some of our shows who preyed on the girls that would come.
She softly declined and gave me a peck on the cheek as I snuck in a quick ass grab when she was bended over to which Duff gave me a sour look.
“Sorry man. Your sis is hot.” I shrugged lighting up a cigarette.
“Gross dude! Just do that shit when I’m not around.” Duff frowned.
“BOYS! WE ARE ON IN 10 MINUTES!” our manager yelled repeatedly slapping his wrist with his pointer finger.
“Can you yell any louder.” Slash mumbled slumping down into the couch with his bottle of Jack Daniel’s which was now empty.
“You didn’t save any for me. Fuck you man!” I whined grabbing the empty bottle and throwing it at the floor.
Slash and Steven burst out laughing while our manager came to calm their drunk asses down.
Maddy P.O.V
I swerved through the crowd of people who were starting to gather in clusters backstage.
And weaved my way out, desperately trying to locate the women’s room when I ran into Axl with his arm around some random girl.
“Maddy?” he called out,looking at me rather confused.
“I- I’m looking for the bathroom. Have you seen it?” I asked looking both at him and the girl.
“Yeah. I’ll show you.” he replied shrugging off the girl and walking me towards the restrooms.
“Who was that?” I asked looking at him with curious eyes.
I always heard stories about the groupies and how they played with different bands but it was pretty surreal to see it happen in real life.
“Just some girl who likes our music.” he smirked stopping right besides the door to the women’s room.
He walked me into the back of the wall and put his arm up to lean in front of my body.
“I’d like this dress much better without Izzy’s jacket.” he whispered tugging the jean jacket off one shoulder, leaving my right collarbone exposed.
I was wearing an off the shoulder black dress that stopped right below my ass.
It wasn’t something I would ever wear but I found it when I was cleaning and I figured it was left behind by some groupie so I washed it and wore it to look grown up since all the dresses I brought from home were frilly and floral.
And the girls here dressed so different so when I saw the dress it immediately screamed L.A.
“What if I took it off.” he said, not giving me a chance to think, swiftly pulling the jacket off and onto the floor exposing my figure.
“You look so good. Better than all of the girls here.” he gently murmured placing his pointer finger under my chin to direct my gaze on his eyes instead of his feet.
“Stop it Axl. I’m with Izzy.” I mumbled breathing with how close he was to me.
It was almost uncomfortable knowing he could see all of me, since my jacket wasn’t covering me anymore.
He reached for my thigh and started tracing small circles on it, inching closer towards the end of my dress, tugging it up lightly until he exposed half of my panties which were black to match my dress.
“W-wait stop. I can’t I love-
“Izzy. Yeah I get it.” he huffed letting go of me.
“Maddy?”
“Izzy?” I squinted wondering if it was really him or if I was hallucinating.
“I go to look for you to make sure you’re safe and I find you with him.And my jacket is around your feet?” he hissed grabbing his jacket with such force I almost stumbled on my heels.
“It’s not what it looks like I swear. H-he was just helping me found the restroom Iz!” I cried pushing Axl out of the way and following Izzy like a lost puppy.
“I can’t do this right now. Not when I’m about to preform with him.” he spat walking away from me briskly.
I looked back at Axl who was quiet, almost like he was still processing the situation.
“We can’t be together-
“Why. Why not?” he asked walking up to me with wide eyes.
“I-I can’t answer that.”
cuties!
