Liz Whats Wrong With You?

Thundah!!!!

"Jake I'm gonna need some help. This won't be easy. I'm telling you her fear is way beyond our reach." Andy yelled down the narrow hallway on the bus.

"I've got it. This is easy. She'll come out for me. Watch." Jakes muffled voice traveled to my ears. I wasn't coming out. I was terrified and shaking. I hated when this happened.

"Dude I'm telling you when she does this if anyone messes with her they're gonna get the devil beat out of them." Andy responded trying to pull the edge of the cover from under me. I hissed through my teeth snatching it back.

"Woah. Calm down Lizzy bug." Andy whispered in a soothing voice.

"No! It's going to get me. It's horrible and loud and scary. It's going to take me." I screamed through the cover I used as a temporary shield. I felt someone slide their arm around my waist and a jerked away. I slid into the corner still covered. I was in the dark and the only light the shined through was the dimness that radiated off my phone screen. I ran through my music list, sliding my finger up and down the screen debating on the songs. I selected With Ears To See And Eyes To Hear by Sleeping With Sirens. I began singing along with Kellin trying to calm myself. This happened every time. The noise scared me to death. I hated it. It crawled all over me. Jake hadn't seen me like this though only Andy. He'd been the one to comfort me during these episodes. I felt bad honestly. I pulled a headphone out of my ear.

"Is it gone?" I whispered in a childish voice. I actually thought it was gone then blam. "OH MY GOD! SAVE ME!" I screamed jumping up and tumbling to the floor over Jake. He went to grab me but his hands slid off my waist as I frantically crawled across the floor and down the hallway to the living room. Andy and Jake stumbled out of the bedroom side-by-side after me. I stopped in the middle of the floor and curled into a ball. I threw the covers over my head and began rocking back and forth.

"Make it stop. Make it stop. MAKE IT STOP!" I screamed, cupping my hands over my ears.

"Liz it's fine. What's the big fuss?" Jake pulled the covers back. I hissed at him like I had done Andy, pulling the covers back over my head.

"She's terrified of thunder. It's loud and shakes the room sometimes. Makes her feel like she's gonna get attacked." Jami said in a serious tone. Ashley and CC laughed but Jinxx didn't. Andy knew my fear and Jake did too. It was stupid I know but it was true.

"Just come sit with me. Please. I promise it's not gonna get you." Jake said trying again to get me to release the cover from my death grip. I wrestled with him a little before I let go. He slipped it off and threw it at Ashley. I buried my face in the carpet, covering my ears. No way was I letting it creep into my mind and wrap itself around my thought train. It wasn't crushing my thoughts or ruining my sanity. I stayed that way until Jake picked me up and pulled me to his side on the couch. I peaked under my arm at Andy. Jordan snuggled into his side. Jami laid with her legs stretched across Ashley's lap. They'd become best friends. Finally getting along with someone I see.

"We will be at our next venue soon." Andy said. "It's gonna ease up Liz calm down. It's just thunder."

"No. I hate it with a passion. It's gahhh. It bothers me." I responded. Thunder crashed through the stillness and I dug further into Jakes side.

"Woah now. I don't want you digging into my side." Jake laughed. He hugged me, pulling me against him. I closed my eyes. I actually felt safe. The crashing thunder faded into the background as I hummed myself to sleep. In anyone else's grip I would have stayed awake but in his I was content.
