IM BACK BITCHES

Landon pov

"I'm glad Liza is finally happy." I mentally groaned at Megan's comment.

All night, Liza and Jaden have been touchy with each other. Anyone could tell from a mile off that they were together. It's not hard to tell, and I'm not mad at Liza for not telling me either. My main focus has been trying to make sure Colson and dad don't catch on to what they were doing.

"What?" They both said at the same time, shooting their heads over to Liza and Jaden.

They were stood over by the bar. Her head was resting between his shoulder blades and her hands clasped around his stomach. One of his hands were on hers as the other gave the money to the bartender. We all watched as he sat down and became just a little shorter than her. He moved her round so she was stood between his open legs and kissed her knuckles.

"I fucking told her." Colson grumbled, going to stand up.

"Sit the fuck down." I gritted.

"Excuse me?"

"Don't talk to him like that Landon." Dad scolded.

"No. I'm being serious. Just leave her alone. I know you wanna protect her, but she's only just started talking to you guys again after the stunt you pulled." I pointed out, making Colson scoff.

"He is gonna break her heart, and then we're gonna be left to pick up all the pieces again." He retorted.

"Look at her face." I told him, watching as his head turned to look at her. "When was the last time you saw her smile like that? Like a genuine, real happiness smile?" I prompted, watching a she sat back down before continuing the conversation.

"She hasn't smiled like that since Marley." Dad answered.

"Exactly. It may have taken her two years, but she is finally getting out of the cage she built herself. Please just let her be. I know Jaden and he isn't going to break her heart. Both of them know what that feels like so neither are going to want to inflict it." I tried to explain.

"But look at what happened to her after Marley."

"Marley died because he killed himself. He wasn't happy with who he was, or the situation he was in. Liza tried her hardest to make him happy. We all did, but she gave her all into it. It wasn't enough for him and that broke every single part of her. The night he died was the same night that our Liza was gone forever. But if you look over there, that Liza stood there with Jaden, is the same Liza we thought would be gone for good." I shut down.

"I can't see her go through that again Landon. She's like my little girl, and it hurt to see her go through that before, I don't want to have to see that again." Colson tried to reason.

"So you're gonna keep her miserable for the rest of her life. Is that what you're saying? Because banning her from seeing Jaden, will be like banning her from happiness. You will just watch her be sad for the rest of her life because you don't want to possibly risk seeing her go through heart break again." I reiterated to him.

"Landon's right. Just let her live her life. She's not a little girl anymore. She can take care of herself." Kourtney agreed.

Liza pov

"Come on little doggy." I teased, pulling on the longer part of his belt.

"Haha, very funny." He replied.

"I mean come on. You came out looking half dressed. Where's your shirt sir? Everyone is going to see your nipples." I teased, mimicking him from earlier.

"Again, you're hilarious. But your nipples are still on show too, so suck it." He shrugged.

"Mine are only visible if you're looking directly at them. You don't know how to button up your blazer so yours are just there." I shot back.

"You're such a smart ass." He rolled his eyes, pulling me closer by my hips.

"I know." I agreed as I held his jaw and kissed him.

"Liza." It was now my turn to roll my eyes as I pulled away to look at my best friend.

"Yes Landon?" I asked, annoyance clear in my voice.

"The car is here." He answered before walking off.

"Come on stress head. Let's go." Jaden laughed, placing his hand on my head before starting to follow Landon.

I followed them out and climbed into the car after Jaden. Colson and Travis were being surprisingly quiet and neither of them said anything when Jaden put his hand on my thigh, rubbing slow circles into my skin with his thumb.

We were last to be picked up, but that also mean that we were the first to be dropped off. We both got out and started to make our way up to the doors before Travis stopped us.

"Jaden, a word." He said, making me turn back.

"T, come on. Leave it out." I tried to persuade.

"Lize, it's fine. Just go upstairs and I'll be there in a little bit." Jaden assured, sending me up ahead of him.

I rolled my eyes and agreed, making my way up into the apartment. I put food down for the dog and made my way to my bedroom. Finn and Vanessa were staying the night at her place so I didn't need to worry about the sound I made when I knocked over a cabinet stand.

I bent down and untied my laces, kicking my shoes off. I then walked over to my desk and started to take off my jewellery, ignoring the creaking from the doors.

"What did he want?" I asked as Jaden appeared behind me in the mirror.

"Nothing you need to worry about. It's all sorted." He replied, taking the pins out of my hair and massaging my scalp, freeing all the tension that had built up.

"Men." I rolled my eyes at his secretiveness, making him chuckle.

"Yes. We're the worst." He replied, pulling at the zip on my dress and letting it fall to the floor.

I walked over to my closet to grab out a long shirt that covered my ass. I walked back out, watching as he put in a light so we could actually see in the room.

I walked over to the bed and sat down, groaning when I realised I hadn't taken my makeup off. As if he read my mind, Jaden appeared at my side with a wipe in hand. He held my chin, forcing me to look up as he dragged it across my face, picking up all the remnants of coverage left from the night.

"Oh my god. There is a face under there." He teased when the rest of it was off.

"Dickhead." I laughed, laying down and waiting for him to come and join me in the bed.
