Liz Whats Wrong With You?

I'll Cut Your Ankles Off

Jack quietly sat down on my bed beside Hunter, clutching a black bag in his hands. I looked up and he handed me gloves.

"Insulation for houses. Makes people itch like crazy." He smirked and I stuck my hand inside, gripping the pink fluff and squeezing.

"Where did you get this?" I whispered.

"CC told me it was in the attic at his house. Jinxx honestly just laughed at this idea but CC. He wanted in on it." He replied.

"Tell him to tell the rest and get them in on it. He is going to be so embarrassed." Hunter giggled quietly.

I released the fluffy material and tiptoed to the bathroom.

I snatched his boxers off the counter and hurried back to our bedroom, handing them to Jack. He dropped them into the bag and closed it up. I grabbed it and shook it before rubbing the sides between my hands. I removed his boxers and walked back to the bathroom.

"Hearts on fire tonight, feel my bones ignite. Feels like war, war. Feels like war, war." Alex's voice echoed around the room and I slapped my hand over my mouth to stop my laughter. I slipped on the rug during my escape, taking out my straightener in the process. It smacked the back of my head and clattered to the floor. Alex popped his head out of the shower.

"Liz. What are you doing babe?" He asked smirking. Oh just laying in the floor with my straightener. Enjoying the lovely music.

"I came to get my straightener. I slipped on the rug. Sorry I'll just go." I picked it up and stood, opening the door all the way.

"Hey Liz. Why are you wearing gloves?" Alex called to me. I looked at Hunter and mouthed 'help me'.

"Ummm somebody spilled wine on the floor. Used bleach to clean it up. Bleach makes my hands burn so I used gloves." I smiled at him and he closed the curtain.

"Okay. Ill be down in a few minutes. Love you."

"Love you too." I yelled, halfway to the door. I shut our bedroom door and walked to the end of the hallway with Hunter and Jack.

"That was close." I sighed.

"No doubt." Jack looked at me. I pulled a cigarette from the pack and lit it, taking a long drag and walking downstairs to the yard.

"I'm going to get Braylee and Darcy from the nursery." Hunter said and walked back inside. I sat down on the steps beside CC.

"Did you guys do it?" CC asked me and Jordan looked over at him.

"Yes. I can't wait." I grinned.

"Do what?" Jordan questioned.

"Insulation in Alex's boxers. Payback for earlier."

"You guys are terrible. I'm gonna go tell him." Jordan stood up.

"You tell him and I'll cut your ankles off." I jumped up. She looked at me surprised.

"Do what?" Her eyes widened.

"You heard me. Then I'll shove cashews in your tear ducks." I put my hands on my hips.

"Never!" She ran toward her house and I laughed.

"That's violent Liz." CC laughed at me.

"I'm a demonic child sometimes. But Alex is going to get payback one way or another." I giggle. "Hey CC can I ask you something?" I set my elbows on my knees and sucked in the addicting toxic from my cigarette.

"Yea. What is it tiny mouse?" CC looked up from his phone.

"Tiny mouse? okay then. Do you ever think I shouldn't be with Alex? I feel distant lately. Like he's hiding something. Today is honestly the first time in a few weeks we haven't argued." I stomped my cig out on the ground and looked at him. His brown eyes gave me a look that was sad in a way.

"Yes I do. I don't believe Alex is the one. You still want Jake don't you?" CC slung his arm over my shoulder and I hung my head.

"Sometimes I wish I would've patched things up. But. I just don't know."

"Do what you think is right. Even if it breaks a few hearts. Your happiness is all that matters."

"Thanks CC. You may be a prankster and goof off a lot but you always make me feel better." I stood up and CC did to. We walked over to Andy's house and he opened the door. Jake sat on the couch on his phone. I sat down beside him.

"Hey. How've you been?" I smiled at him. Gosh I really feel two faced at the moment. Love isn't always fair at all. Ahaha Black Veil Brides pun and I have no life.

"I've seen better days. Me and Ella split up. You?" He looked at me, sad eyes searching for sympathy that I could give him and eventually would.

"Second guessing myself, over thinking and all around having a mental breakdown but I'm still Liz Biersack." I looked at my phone to check twitter and felt a hand tuck my loose hair behind my ear.

"You hope to don't you?" He spoke in a hushed tone.

"Hope what?" I stared at him shocked.

"Alex is coming." CC yelled and I jumped up and ran to the kitchen.

"Got any wine." I played like nothing happened and heard the door open. Andy handed me some and I popped the cork, pouring a glass for everyone. Alex wobbled in and I handed him a glass, kissing his cheek. He sat down at the bar and I took the stool beside him. He rubbed the palm of his hand on his thigh, shaking his leg.

"Baby. You okay?" I whispered in his ear.

"Mhmmm. Just peachy." He kept his gaze straight ahead. He wiggled his legs and then crossed them and I looked away, hiding my smile.

"Okay. So what are you fixing Andy?" I fumbled with my hands and he turned around.

"Spaghetti. The way mom used to make it." He went back to what he was doing and Alex stood up.

"Where are you going?" I questioned. He scratched again.

"What did you do to my boxers?" He scratched violently.

"Insulation." I laughed and walked to him. I went for a hug but he pushed me away forcefully, storming out of the house.

"What just happened?" I threw my hands in the air in frustration as Hunter walked in with the girls and Harry.

"I give up. I can't win." I ran my hand through my hair and released a sigh I had been holding in for quite some time.

"Go talk to him." Andy pointed at the door.

I walked out and across the yard to our house. I slung the screen door open, huffing in frustration. My heel clicks from my boots echoed through the house and I walked to the kitchen. Then the living room. bedroom. Bathroom. Dining room. Giving up I walked outside to find him in a chair on the back porch. He chewed his fingernails, clearly annoyed. I crouched in front of him.

"Why do you treat me like this?" I shook my head and placed a hand on his knee. He glared at me.

"Like what? A spoiled brat?" He hissed and I stared at him in disbelief. Was this really happening.

"Alex I love you but honestly you've been acting so rude lately. I don't know who you are anymore. I hate to threaten you but if this gets any worse there won't be a wedding. There won't be me and you either." I got up and brushed my pants off.

"Real mature. Go ahead. Walk away. I've given you everything." Hearing enough I walked back inside, Alex stopped me in the living room and twirled me by my arm. His hand gripped my arm tightly. I snatched it away.

"You aren't the Alex Gaskarth I know and love. Where did he go? Huh? Did he disappear when he proposed to me? Or does he slip away with other women when I can't please him. I won't kiss your feet so you can stop putting up a front. If this means nothing to you, if your sick of us Alex tell me. Don't lead me on into disaster." I felt tears roll on my cheeks. Frustrated tears. All I thought of was how big of a baby I am.
