It Was Always You ~Deadlox~ (Spinoff to Beautiful Lapis Buttery Goodness)

Chapter 3 What Is This, Graceland?

I woke up, cuddled up to Deadlox. I heard voices downstairs, and a girl's squeal. I got up, slwoly as ot not wake up Ty, and crept downstairs. It was just Flame and Sky.

"Morning," I said as I poured myself a glass of TruMoo.....hehe ;)

"Morning," Sky said. "I've been meaning to talk to you."

"Yeah?" I asked, sipping on my drink. "Bout what?"

"I don't want to lose you as a friend, Libby." He said seriously. "I don't want to be the one to break this house, and I don't want you to be the one either."

"So what is this....Graceland? Yeah, we can be friends, Adam, that's fine. But remember when we first met? How much of a jerk you were to me? Excpect that to be returned. I don't handle pain well."

I went back up to my room. I had to move out or something. I don't want to break this house, like Sky said.

"Libby?" Ty asked groggily. "What are you doing?"

I froze. His morning voice is just.......mmmm. And I thought Sky's was sexy.

"Packing," I replied, putting away some clothes into a suitcase.

"Why?" Now wide awake, Ty sat up in bed.

"I can't live here, Ty," I said. "I don't want to break this house."

"What is this, Graceland? You can't 'break' this house." He said. I heard his feet move and he placed his hands on my waist. He picked me up and brought me downstairs. "EVERY BODY GET DOWN HERE!"

Soon, everyone came down. "What's up dood?" Jerome asked.

Ty gave Sky a look, than gave me one. "Libby believes, due to the breakup with Adam, she's breaking this house."

"What do you mean by that?" Quentin asked.

"I said I don't want to be the one to tear Team Crafted apart. OK?" I said.

"Is that why, after a day or so of being broken up with Sky, you're locking lips with me? Am I your rebound? Or do you truly love me? Walk out that door if you're just rebounding, Libby. Because no matter what tension you and Sky have, you are a member of this d@mn house." Ty said. "If you don't want to break this house, why are you with me when you're not ready to lend your heart to someone who never had it?"

"I thought you never had it Ty. I'm not rebounding." I said.

"You're not?" Sky said. "Than why did you tell him he never had your heart."

"Because maybe I thought some prick had it the whole time. But no, he never did, because since I met him, I knew deep, deep down he'd break it. But I let him have it, to see how far we'd go before he broke it."

"Is that why you kissed Jason, too? Libby, face it, you don't know who or what you want." Adam said.

"Jason kissed me, remember? And Ty was THE FIRST person to admit his liking for me. When Jason saved me from Dylan. Remember that? Because I do. I remember worrying that I'd be pregnant. Jesse crying, Ileyah freaking out. You, running out of the house to find me. Jason, saving my life. And Ty? He made me feel better about being raped."

"Then why did you date me? Huh? When Deadlox had your heart the whole time?" Adam said. "Or did your crush on him go as far as the help he offered?"

"F*** you, Adam." I said. "It's no wonder Dawn left you."

"You b****!" Sky yelled.

"I'm done," I said, grabbing my bag from Ty's room. No one spoke as I opened the door. "No one's gonna stop me? OK. I see how it is. I really am breaking this house." Then, I left.

I found myself on Nicole's couch.

"Nicole?" My voice was muffled from the pillow I had been sobbing into.

"Yes, Libby?" She asked.

"Can I move in with you?" I asked. "At least until I get my own house."

"Sure," She said. "It gets lonely here."

"Cool," I said as I sat up and wiped my eyes. There wasa knock on the door.

Nicole got it and in walked Mitch and Ty.

"Knew you'd be here," Mitch said as he hugged Nicole.

I pulled out my phone, pretending like Michaela texted me. I'm sure Jason was venting to her, about how Sky and I were at each other's throats. How he was probably glad I was gone.

Ty sat next to me and took my phone, putting it in his pants. Oh you dirty little......

"Want it? Get it." He said.

I sat back, ignoring him. Ty sighed and grabbed my chin, forcing me to look at him.

He pressed his lips to mine. "You can't deny the fact that I make you feel better than Sky ever has."

"I don't want to-"

"Sky's the one calling you out. You're defending yourself. Let him cool down." Ty told me. "Don't leave me, please. I need you,"

"Why? I'm nothing." I said.

"Nothing to those who hate you. Nothing to those who can't see the wonderful in you. But me? I can see it, and it's my drug, Libby. Just please, for all that is good in this world, be my Dead Queen."

"As freaking creepy as that is...." I said with a slight giggle. "Do you want that, Ty? You accused me of rebounding."

"I asked if you were, never accused." He said. "I'm more sure about this than anything. I want you, so bad."

"As long as it isn't taken to the bedroom, that saying can come from your mouth." Mitch said. I laughed. I don't know why, but I laugh at dirty things.

"Why are you laughing?" Ty asked, blushing.

"I don't know," I sighed as I calmed down. "Yeah, I'll be your......Dead Queen?"

Ty smiled and kissed me again. I kissed him back. I wasn't rebounding, I don't do that. But.....was I ready to be with him? Or was I just fooling us both by trusting him with my heart too easily? Would he really treat me better than Sky, and Jason, and those before him? Or would he shatter it like Sky did. Was my heart dead, or did it belong to the Dead?

"I now fully ship DeadLapis," Nicole said. "My OTP."

"We're my OTP," Mitch said, and I knew they were kissing. I had to smile into my kiss with Ty.

But would that smile stay, or would a certain Budder King twist it around?

A/N: Just watched the last two episode of Graceland. I love that show. They left us with a cliffhanger! Ugh! But, season 2 starts this summer. So.......countdown until summer starts begins NOW!
