When Everything Changes

Chapter 16

"Merry Christmas Lizzie!" Celina and Maegan yelled in unison through the webcam.

"Not really, but thanks." I responded completely disoriented from my surroundings.

"Why, what's wrong?" Maegan said looking at me with confusion masking her face.

"Jake let his cousins girlfriend make-out with him" I muttered.

"Ohmigod! you ok?" Celina asked fists clenching and unclenching at her sides as she paced the room in anger.

"Well I should go and rip his head off now ok?" I said smiling at the thought.

"Kai, bye gorgeous!" Maegan and Celina said in unison.

I shut my IPad off and walked downstairs grabbing a cup of coffee as I went. Jake was still fast asleep on the couch. I hadn't noticed that yet so when I went to go turn on the tv and sit down until everyone else woke up. When I sat down I immediately got back up and shoved Jake onto the floor.

He sparked to life and looked up at me as I took the blanket from him and flipped through the channels.

"What the fuck was that for," he asked rage in his eyes.

"I wanted to sit down and frankly you've been pissing me off extremely lately!" I snapped at him.

"Ok, look I'm sorry I didn't stop that slut from kissing me! I was in shock! I dont know what else you want me to do! It is Christmas morning you could ease up a bit because I did nothing wrong I was stuck in the crossfire!" he yelled at me.

"You are fucking kidding me right? You were stuck in the crossfire! I don't think so you clearly enjoyed her kissing you! It makes me wonder-" I was cut off when his lips came crashing into mine. At first I wasn't sure what to do, but soon after I recovered I began kissing him back.

"I love you, Lizzie. I know I was stupid and I should have stopped it as soon as it happened. I'm sorry, please forgive me!" Jake pleaded as he lent in resting his head over my shoulder.

"Okay," I sighed after about two minutes of silence went by.

"Thank you," he said leaning in for another kiss. before he reached my lips we were cut off by the fridge door opening.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here? We all good now I see. I was really hoping you guys would break up so I could have him all to myself." a new voice said.

"Fuck off, Jessica!" Jake said shaking with anger.

"Why hottie? Did you enjoy tasting my lips?" Jessica teased.

Before I knew what was going on Jake pulled himself out of my grip and lunged for Jessica. He grabbed her biceps and pushed her against the wall. "Do I need to tell you again! Stay away from me and if you ever lay a finger on Lizzie I will make your stay here very miserable!" Jake screamed at her as I whirled around and grabbed at him.

"Baby, come on. She isn't worth it." I said as he started to ease his grip and come back to sit on the couch with me.

In about an hour or so everyone was up and sitting by the tree opening gifts. I finished opening mine and pulled out a small box. Opening it, I gasped as I looked at the ring in this small box.

"It's a promise ring," Jake said sweetly."Do you like it?"

"Yes, Ohmigod I love it!" I gasped giving Jake a long hug and kiss.

Jake slowly pulled the wrapping paper off of the box I got him. He finally finished opening his gift and gave me a hug. "Thanks," I had given him a bottle if his favourite cologne.

"Guys, would you stop making out and get ready to leave! We would like to be home before sunset!" I heard Michael holler at us from the kitchen.

I got off of the couch and sauntered into the kitchen, and with much force, smacked him upside his fat head! "First of all, we weren't making out, and secondly back off or you will wake up when we get back home with no eyebrows!" I threatened coldly and with a look of complete seriousness on my face.

I heard footsteps coming into the kitchen and heard a feminine voice laugh lightly at my remark, "Watch it little bro, she's not kidding! And I will help her shave off your eyebrows myself!" Alexis said through her fit of giggles.

"Jake!" Michael groaned, "I think your toy is mentally unstable!"

Hearing him call me Jake's 'toy' set me off and I immediately punched Michael in the face. The sound of skin clashing against skin resounded throughout the cabin, and soon everyone started to file into the kitchen to see what all of the commotion was all about.

"Guys can we just leave? Please!" Wesley sighed rubbing his hand over his face in exasperation.

Soon later we were on the road and on our way back home. While keeping my word,once Michael fell asleep within the first hour of the drive home, I pulled out some of Jake's shaving cream from his suitcase and a clean razor also from Jake's over night bag.

"What exactly are you doing with my razors and shaving cream?" Jake asked me with a blank and tired look plastered on.

"Keeping my word," I responded shortly.

"What in the world is that supposed to mean?"

"I promised Michael that I would shave off his eyebrows. He is asleep, so therefore, I am going to shave off his eyebrows now before he wakes up," I whispered and moved over to Michaels face. I put a large amount of shaving cream into my hand and started to apply it onto the scoundrels brow line and forehead, making sure to cover every once of his caterpillars.

"Oh god," Jake looked away from the scene playing out before his very eyes.

I ignored his remark and grabbed my half empty water bottle and some paper towel. I got the paper towel wet and dabbed the dry razor with it. If I'm going to shave off his eyebrows I might as well do it nicely so he doesn't get razor burn! I slowly and gently started to shave his brow line. Within about five minutes I was done, so I took my water and got another piece of paper towel. Soon with my newly damp paper towel I wiped off all of the shaving cream and admired my work.

Before I though pt my next move through thoroughly I took my water and dumped the remnants onto his face quickly.

"What the fuck!? I'm awake, I'm awake! Calm your tits!" Michael shot out of his face. At that moment I saw how truly ridiculous he looked and burst into tears from laughing so hard!

"What did you do?" He asked suspicious of my insanity. Jake, being the kind soul that he is, offered his new shaven cousin his black phone screen to reveal my masterpiece!

"You bitch!" Michael lunged at me as we pulled into a rest stop. I leapt out of the ra and ran for the women's bathroom. The only think I could hear once inside was the sound of laughter and the sounds of Michael angry and shouting out pointless profanities to coax me out of the bathroom. Eventually those sounds stooped and I though it was safe to step outside of the bathroom only to have a bucket of water poured over my head. I gasped and spun around on instinct kneeing the culprit in the balls.

"Fuck...." Jake groaned.

"You're a dick!" I said in frustration.

"Hey, I might not have a dick after you're attack!" Jake accused.

"I'm sorry, but don't do that again or I will punch you in the jaw next time!" I threatened and then softened, leaning up to softly kiss his cheek.

"Tag you're it!" He quickly ran away from me and towards the SUV.

"You're such a child," I sighed and walked after him, climbing into the car.

Once home I walked up into my bed and quickly fell asleep.
