Liz Whats Wrong With You?

Outside. NOW

"I'm telling you Alex, I'm worried that he'll do something stupid." I looked up at Alex. The moon reflected little yellow circles in his eyes making me basically stop breathing just to hear him breathe.

"Like what?" We continued across the deserted beach toward our home. It was close to 11pm.

"Like flip on me. When you asked me to marry you this afternoon he stormed off. I know he has Ella but I feel like he's still stuck on me." I responded, looking down at my feet that would every once in awhile disappear in the sand.

"Do you still love him? be completely honest. No lies Liz." He stopped in front of me, grabbing my chin and tilting it up to face him.

"I don't think I ever did love Jake. I feel as if he was just there to make me feel safe. It was like I was so ignorant and full of self hate and neglect that I felt the need for comfort. Whatever form was given. Then look what happened. I was chopped to pieces." Alex's look softened and he released my chin, wrapping his strong arms around me.

"I'm so glad I found you." He mumbled, to himself more than to me.

"Okay. I'm tired. lets go home." We walked back to the house, hearing laughter from the dimly lit living room.

"Okay everyone still clothed?" I turned, pressing against Alex and hiding my face. Harry's handsome don't get me wrong but I ain't wanting him swinging his junk around my living room like he owns it.

"Yes. We're watching a comedy." Hunter replied bluntly.

"Want a fruit salad?" I questioned.

"Yes." They all responded in unison. Man fat kids really don't play about their food. I walked to the kitchen, grabbing the strawberries, grapes, pineapple, mango, kiwi, well you understand I hope. I stood by the sink, washing the strawberries. I began humming to myself but it ceased when I felt hands trail up the back of my shirt and begin tracing the outline if my tattoo. It started on my side, up the stem, around the ball of fuzzy little pieces. Then it got higher. I began breathing heavy. I felt him lean down and peck at my exposed shoulder.

"Alex. Not now. I'm busy." I sighed breathlessly.

"It isn't Alex baby." Jake moaned down my neck. I flinched, trying to jerk away but he pulled me closer to him, his hands trailing around to the front of my shirt. He ran his hands over my thin stomach.

"I never liked how boney you were." He dug his thumbs into my hips, knowing it was a painful spot. I whimpered, struggling to break his hold. I could smell alcohol on his breath.

"J-Jake. Please. You-you're hurting me." I whined.

"Everything fine babe?" Alex called from the living room. Oh yea. Just peachy. I have a drunk feeling me up but umm you keep watching that comedy. Jakes hands began sliding toward my shorts, wrapping around my belt. I went to elbow him but he linked an arm around both of mine, disabling me.

"ALEX!" I screamed.

"Is it another spider? Liz I told you get a shoe love." Alex stopped short. Jake was in la la land or imagining ways he could hurt me and didn't notice his presence. This kid was really messed up. To many beers kiddo? Jake grabbed at my belt a second time, successfully unbuckling it.

"Jake. Let her go and leave now." I expected Alex to call out like that. Not my innocent Jordan. She glared at him from the door, balling her fists up. He looked at her with no remorse.

"She was mine first. I loved her. I really wanted it to work. I wanted to marry her." A tear dripped on my shoulder and I looked at Jordan. Pleading for her to help.

"Jake I won't tell you a second time. Outside. NOW!" She growled, pointing toward the door. He loosened his grip but I didn't move. I was starting to feel light headed. I didn't even notice Andy walk in.

"Jake. Let her go. You're drunk man." Andy grabbed his arm and he released me. I slumped to the ground, my side pressed against the cabinets. Jake looked back at me, this time showing pain. Guilt. Realization. Andy and Jordan helped Jake out the door and I watched. My lungs felt like they had shut down. I began shaking violently.

"It was going to happen again. He was going to do it." I cried. Hunter knelt beside me.

"No. He would never." She shushed me. Alex gathered me up in his lap and leaned against the cabinets. I laid my head against his chest but the shaking intensified. I wheezed.

"She needs her inhaler. Alex please calm her down. She's having an anxiety attack and she might pass out." Hunter got up and walked upstairs.

Alex ran his fingers through my hair. "How about we get matching tattoos. You and me. What about a sailboat on our left wrists?" He tried his best to smile.

"He almost. Ra-raped me Alex." I stuttered. My shaking got worse every second. I couldn't breathe and things got hazy. I leaned against him for support.

"Liz stay with me. You're going to be okay." Alex echoed in the distance.

"Okay we need to get her to bed. I've been with her almost every single time this happens. She needs sleep." Hunter told him. My body seemed to float then I passed out.
