It's a bad obsession, it's always messin' ma mind!

I smiled and lay on the bed. Izzy shuffled up next to me and slipped his arms round me. He kissed my neck; I buried my face into his chest. He sighed happily and stroked my hair. "I love you" I looked up. He kissed me softly. "I love you too" I held him tighter and closed my eyes.

The next morning I woke up to noises downstairs. Izzy wasn't there. I looked over at the clock, it was only half seven. I put my nightgown on and went downstairs. Izzy was in the kitchen stroking Treader and pouring himself a glass of J.D. "What're you doing?" I asked. He looked up and shrugged. "Having a drink, it's my...nightcap" "It's seven-thirty in the morning" "I didn't sleep" "At all?" He shook his head. I sighed and sat next to him. He wrapped his arms round me. "You do want this baby don't you?" "Yeah! That's what I was thinking about, all the stuff I could do with it" I smiled. "What do you want?" "What do you mean?" "Boy or girl" "Ooh, uh...girl" "Any particular reasons?" "I just want her to be a daddy's girl" I laughed quietly and held him tighter. He kissed the top of my head. "But what if it's a boy?" "Boy's fine, I'd just prefer a girl" I smiled. We sat in silence for a while. "Come back to bed" He downed the rest of his drink and pulled me up. Treader followed us up to our room. I snuggled up to him, Treader rest his head on Izzy's leg. Izzy turned the TV on and left it on the news. "You know I'll still think you're sexy when you get fat" I burst out laughing. "Thanks Izzy, means a lot to me" He laughed too and kissed my forehead. I looked up and kissed him softly. "But will I think you're sexy when you get fat?" "I won't get fat!" "But what if you do?" "...I just won't" I laughed and snuggled up to him. I closed my eyes and listened to his heart-beat. I woke up a while later to Izzy moving me off him. "I'm not good at not waking you up" I laughed and sat up, holding my head. He sat back down on the bed and hung his arm over my shoulders. Treader jumped up on my knee and looked at me. Just then I could feel my stomach churning. I moved Treader off my knee and stood up. "What?" Izzy asked. "Nothing..." I ran to the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind me. I could hear Izzy laugh to himself before going downstairs. 'Hmm, hilarious' I thought after I finished throwing up. I brushed my teeth to get rid of the taste and decided to get dressed. I'd just finished when Hallaa burst in. She wrapped her arms round me. I stood in her arms, totally bewildered. "Poor thing, morning sickness?" I just looked at her. "Izzy told me, so, yeah, sorry" I laughed. We went downstairs and sat in the front room chatting. Izzy came in a while later. "You want anything?" "Yeah! Make me some food!" "Some food?" "Yeah, y'know, stuff you put in your mouth and swallow" "I'll give you something to put in your mouth" he mumbled. "I'll give you something you can shove up your arse!" Hallaa sniggered. "Is this you or the hormones talking?" Izzy asked. "If it's me I can't wait for the hormones to kick in" He pulled a face and went to the kitchen. Hallaa burst out laughing. "I can't wait for the hormones either!" I laughed. Slash was abouts to come into the front room when Izzy shouted him to the kitchen. He came into the front room a few minutes later. He completely blanked me and sat next to Hallaa, not even looking at me. "What's your problem?" I asked. He shook his head and continued looking at the floor. Hallaa and I exchanged glances. She made him tell her. She burst out laughing. "He said Izzy warned him not to do anything to you in case you kill him" I burst out laughing. "Nice" She nodded. Slash still stared at the floor. Izzy came in a while later with some food. "What's up with him?" he asked noticing Slash. "I don't know, someone told him not to annoy me" "Dude I said don't say anything! Not blank her!" "Well she could still eat me if I look at her the wrong way!" "So don't look at me the wrong way! And I wouldn't eat you, too hairy" Hallaa laughed. Slash went back to looking at the floor. I ate half of the food Izzy had made before dumping the plate on his knee. He rolled his eyes and put it on the floor. I snuggled up to him. I saw Hallaa smirking at us. "Women are confusing" Slash mumbled. "Slash, everything confuses you" Izzy replied. "No not everything, sex doesn't confuse me at all" "Yeah, I bet it doesn't" He grinned. Izzy rolled his eyes and rubbed my back. "Sex confuses you" Hallaa said. "What? How?!" I looked up at Izzy. "Because, you got her pregnant" "And that makes sense how?" "Surely you've heard of contraception" "No, I've been alive 25 years and this is the first time I've ever heard of it, what do you think?!" "So why didn't you use any?" "I don't know, why didn't we?" Everyone looked at me. "How should I know?! Heat of the moment probably" They all shrugged. Izzy and I looked at each other oddly. He shook his head. I smiled and snuggled up to him again.

*To Be Continued*

I pushed Hallaa into the pool. Izzy and Slash burst out laughing. Hallaa emerged and glared at me. “Sorry, I just had to!” I said laughing. She rolled her eyes and pulled Slash in. Izzy and I sat on the grass and watched them play-fight. “Fancy going for a swim?” Izzy asked. “Nope” “Aww c’mon” “Only if you come with” “Ok fine” He lay down and lay me on top of him. Treader came over and rest his head on Izzys leg.

A week passed in which not much happened. I was lay in Izzys arms on our bed reading. Izzy was watching the TV on mute with music playing. It was silent between us. Just then Hallaa burst in. "Hello boring people!" Neither of us looked at her. She sighed and sat on the bed. "What're you doing?" We both shrugged. "Oh my god come on! You're so boring! Come play out!" I looked at her. "Argh! Come! On! I'm bored! All you two have done is sit in here and do nothing!" "Maybe we like doing this" Izzy replied. "Just entertain me for fucks sake!" "Go play with Duff and Jacki" "No, they're having sex" "What, this second?" "Probably! Oh come on! Please!?" "What's Slash doing?" "Nothing! He's bored too!" "You two can play with each other then" "We've already done that twice today! You come play with me!" "I'd love to but I'm married" I laughed. "You're such a bloke! Come on Ayeisha! You're fun!" "I am, but I'm also lazy" "Can we go shopping?" "NO!" Izzy said. I laughed. "Nah, not in the mood for shopping" Hallaa sighed loudly. "Fine! I'll go down the street with you!" I said. "Yay!" She ran out. "But-" "-I'm not buying anything, we'll be back" "Yeah you will! You're not leaving me for the sex obsessed, weirdo" I laughed. "Anyway, give me your card" "I thought you weren’t buying anything!" "I'm not! It's for appearances!" He laughed and pointed to his jacket. I grabbed his wallet and pulled out several credit cards. "Ooh, which one to choose, I may just take them all-" "-The one!" Izzy said snatching all but one from my hand. I laughed and kissed him softly. "I could never be a gold digger! You're so tight!" He laughed. "Just how I like it" "I have so many sexual things to follow that up with" I said standing up. "Oh?" "Yup, and I won't tell you them until I get back" "Oh you can't leave a man hanging'!" "Watch me" I winked and walked out. Hallaa and I wandered around the streets of LA for ages. We sat in a cafe chatting for a while when I saw a glimpse of a newspaper. I picked it up and read the date. "Is this today’s?" I asked. Hallaa looked at it. "Yup, why?" "No reason, I just lost track of the day" She laughed. "That's why you shouldn't shut yourself away from the world" "I had Izzy! And the TV" "Izzy does NOT count! And the TV, meh, you don't watch the news do you" "Nope...and Izzy does count" She laughed. "You keep telling yourself that" I laughed. I picked up my coffee and curled up in my chair thinking. Eventually we decided to leave. "You okay? You're not really talkative" I looked up. "Huh? Oh I'm fine" "You sure?" "Yeah" Finally we got home. "Oh, I'm not in a shopping mood!" Izzy said when he saw us. I laughed. "Most of these are Hallaa's" "Yeah yeah, bullshit! Card!" I smirked and handed him his credit card. I took my single bag to my room and left Hallaa with all of her stuff. Izzy came in a few minutes later. "Ok, so most of it was hers" I laughed and sat on the bed. He sat next to me. I sighed and snuggled up to him. "What's up?" "Nothing" "Sure?" "Yup" He smiled and wrapped his arms round me protectively. "So these sexual innuendo's you left me with..." I laughed. "Did you not think of any?" "I thought of loads" "I bet you did" He smirked and kissed my forehead. "What was the one you were thinking of?" "Oh I wasn't, I just thought I'd let you think dirty things of me whilst I was away" He laughed. "What makes you think they were of you?" I just looked at him. "Ok, you have a point...but still" I smiled and snuggled up to him. "Seriously, why are you so affectionate today?" "Sorry, I won’t love you then" "No! Love me!" He held me tighter. I laughed and kissed him softly. He shuffled us up the bed. We lay down in each others arms. Just then Slash walked in. "Hey-oh god, Hallaa! They're at it again!" Izzy and I sat up. "At what again?" "I love you, no I love you, I love you more, no I love you more, muah muah lovey love URGH!" Izzy and I laughed. "So we're in love! Get over it!" "How can I since every time you two are left alone for five fuckin' minutes you cling onto each other, telling each other you'd buy Saturn for them if you could!" We laughed. "What did you come in for?" "I've forgotten; I'll go back downstairs and see if I remember" He walked out. Izzy and I laughed. "You have weird friends" I said. "Nah, they're just, not, normal?" "...So weird" "Yeah" He laughed. Slash came back into our room. "I remembered!"

*To Be Continued*

I smirked and pulled him inside. “So how many drinks can I have?” “Uh…five” “Five?! Is that it?!” “Make them last” He sighed. “I’d best be getting sex tonight then” “I’ll think about it” “You’re so mean!” I laughed and hugged him. He hugged me back. “Well, I’m going to get my first drink” “Don’t drink it all, and I’ll know if you’ve had more than five” He sighed and went to the bar. I smirked and sat next to Hallaa. “You tormenting him again?” she asked. “I am” She laughed.

I was lay on the bed reading when Izzy came in and collapsed face down. I heard him let out a huge sigh. “What’s up?” “As if you don’t know!” I laughed. “It’s you’re fault!” “Like I can drink less than five drinks! You’re just mean!” “Only a week left” “I don’t think I’ll be able to last a week!” “Shouldn’t have drank then” “You’re such a hoe! Why do I love you so much?” I smirked and ran my fingers through my hair. He softly ran his hand up my leg. I pushed it off as he slowly went towards my inner thigh. “Oh come on!” “No Izzy, I told you!” He sighed and rolled over. “What’re you reading anyway?” “A book” “No duh! What book?” “It’s a kind of horror book” “Oh, any good?” “You tell me” I handed it him and pointed out a section. As he read I noticed a huge smirk come to his face. “A bit sexual isn’t it? It’s like…porn for the brain” I laughed. “It’s not as bad as other things I’ve read” “Yeah, the last one you read was just, full on!” “It’s cleaner than you!” “Metaphorically or physically?” I looked him over. “Both” He laughed. “I don’t smell that bad!” I raised an eyebrow. “…Ok maybe I do…but I only shower with you!” “Go and have a shower!” He groaned and rolled off the bed. “You’re so mean to me!” “But you love me” “So what if I do!” We laughed and I kicked him softly to the bathroom. I continued to read my book. I’d almost finished when he came out of the bathroom in just a towel. He smirked at me and sat down. Just then Hallaa came into the room. “Hello Izzy!” He laughed. “Hi” “Eyes off my man bitch!” I said. We all laughed “Anyway, yeah, Slash wants to know if you guys want pizza for-” “-Yeah!” Izzy interrupted. She laughed. “Pizza it is…you should wear a towel more often, you look hot” She walked out. “I’m going to close the door” Izzy said getting up. I laughed. “You getting dressed then?” “I might do” “You don’t have to, but I won’t stop Hallaa if she comes in if your towel falls off” “Why would it fall off?” “Because you’re a moron” “How does that account for anything?” “Catch” I threw a pillow at him. He caught it and let go of the towel. “I think I’ve proved my point” I said going back to my book. He sighed and put the towel back on. “You really are a heartless cow” “I know. Moo” He laughed and sat on the bed. I finished off my book as he got dressed. “PIZZA!” Slash shouted from downstairs. We went down to the front room. “Did I miss anything?” Hallaa asked winking. We laughed. “Nah, he just dropped the towel, nothing special” Izzy just scowled at me. “How’s the ‘no sex’ going?” Slash asked. “It sucks!” We laughed. “Have you seriously not, since the wedding?” “Nope” “You’re going to believe me now aren’t you” I said. “…I may do” I smirked and stole the cheese from his pizza. He bit my finger. I laughed and flicked his nose. Hallaa and Slash were giving us odd looks. I sniggered and carried on eating my pizza. Afterwards Izzy and Slash went to the kitchen to drink. I grabbed a book off the shelf and sat reading. Hallaa sighed and watched TV. “You read too much” I sniggered. “It passes the time” “You could be having sex with Izzy now” “I know, but he needs to learn” “You’re so mean! Seriously though, a whole month! What do you think he is?!” “Stupid” She laughed. “Well, yeah” “If he doesn’t learn, then the time period is slowly going to get bigger, and by that I mean, next time it’ll be 2 months, then 3 months” “Jesus Christ! He’s not a monk! He needs sex to live!” “And he needs to stop drinking excessively” She sighed and nodded. “I’m going to check that they’re not breaking things” She went to the kitchen. I decided to go and read in my room. I’d read nearly half when Izzy came in and collapsed on the bed. “Have fun?” I asked, not looking up. “Uhm…I think so” I noticed him slowly crawling up the bed. “Stop reading” “Why?” “Because” He took the book off me. I took it back and put it on the desk next to me. “I’ve learnt my lesson, come on” he said kissing my neck. “No you haven’t, you’re drunk” “Only a little bit!” “There’s no limit on how drunk you are! You’re either drunk or sober” “But-” “-But what?” He sighed and lay down. “It’s only alcohol” “That’s not an excuse, it still kills you” “Yeah but-” “-Izzy there’s no but! …I don’t like talking to you when you’re drunk, you’re different” “No I’m not! I’m still the same!” I sighed and took my book to my room.

*To Be Continued*

She returned a while later with a camera. I laughed and hid my face in Izzys hair. I took Izzys shades off and put them on myself. Hallaa laughed and stole Slash’s hat. “Oh who was on the phone?” I asked. “Steven, he’s bored” “So?” “So I told him to go to Nikki’s or something” I nodded. Izzy leant back and kissed my chin. I smirked and kissed him back. The four of us sat messing about on the stairs for the rest of the day.

We spent the next few weeks doing the same thing, hanging out, goofing off, the usual rock-star lifestyle. Izzy and I were lay on the sofa when the phone rang. Izzy grabbed it and sat chatting for a while. I got bored and went to go find Hallaa. She was in the garden playing with the dogs, Slash was sunbathing. “Hey, where’s Izzy?” “On the phone, came to see you” “Ooh I feel loved. Hear that Slash? Someone wants to talk to me!” “Yeah that’s great” Slash replied. We laughed. We played with the dogs until Izzy came outside. “Guess what” I looked at him. “You have to go buy outfits, Duffs wedding is in a week” “Oh my god wow!” Hallaa squealed. Izzy sighed. I laughed and wrapped my arms round him. “I might just wear an old dress” “Seriously?!” “Yeah” “Oh thank god!” I laughed. He kissed me softly and pulled me back inside. We lay on the sofa and did nothing. “So yeah, uh, this is fun” I said. He laughed and squeezed me gently. “Put the TV on” he suggested. “But the remote’s way over there!” “So?” “So I’m not getting up” “You’re so lazy” “Yeah, well done” He sniggered and kissed my neck. “Well, I can think of something to do” “God you’re so horny!” “Yeah, well done” I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. He smirked and sat me up. “I’m not moving from here” I said. “You don’t have to” “Izzy you’re gross! It’s not just us living here y’know!” “Yeah, I know! I guess I could always carry you” “You know I think I might buy a new dress after all” “Whatever, I’m still going to-” “-I don’t think so” I jumped off his knee and ran outside. “Hallaa hide me” I said jumping behind her. “Why?” Izzy came outside. “Hallaa can I have my wife back” “Depends, what do you want to do with her?” “What every guy wants to do to their sexy girl” “Oh ok” Hallaa grabbed me. “I hate you!” “I love you too! Have fun Izzy” Izzy picked me up and carried me inside. I made it difficult by going all limp. “Jesus Christ woman! You’re so difficult!” Izzy said dropping me on the sofa. “Yeah, well” “You know I will do it here” “Yeah…I know” “So it’s either here or the bed” I sighed. “You’re such a whore” “Yeah, I know” He grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs.

A week later we were getting ready for Duffs wedding. “This is unfair, Duff gets two weddings” Slash said. “So?” Izzy asked. “So he gets two honeymoons” “Yeah! Oh my god!” Hallaa and I rolled our eyes. We finally got there. I spotted Sara and dragged Izzy over to her and Axl. “Oh my god Hayden looks so bigger” “Yeah, and look at his hair” I laughed. “Aww, he’s got his daddies hair” Axl scowled at me. “Come on, lets sit down” Slash had gone to do his best man duties. The rest of us sat chatting. Izzy slid his arms round my waist and rest his chin on my shoulder. “You know my back still hurts” I sniggered. “Yeah, well, your fault” “It was a week ago though! Shouldn’t they be gone by now?” “I don’t know, I don’t make the laws of your body” “You didn’t have to scratch me though” “Oh I did, it was totally necessary” “Yeah, sure” “Shh! Here comes Jacki!” Throughout the ceremony I could feel Izzy squeezing me or kissing my neck. After the wedding we were all heading to the Rainbow. “You’re supposed to pay attention to the wedding!” I said. “I’ve been to so many I know the things off by heart” Izzy replied. I laughed. He slid his arms round my waist and kissed me softly. “No drinking excessively!” “What Why?” “Because I’m not dragging your drunken ass up to bed!” “But it’s a special occasion!” “That’s always your excuse!” “So?” “So I’m giving you an ultimatum, drink or sex” “But, wait, you can’t do that!” “I can!” “Does it just count for tonight?” “The drink does, the sex is…a month” “WHAT?!” “Choose” “I hate it when you do this to me” He wrapped his arms round me and rest his chin on my shoulder moodily. I smirked and pulled him inside. “So how many drinks can I have?” “Uh…five” “Five?! Is that it?!” “Make them last” He sighed. “I’d best be getting sex tonight then” “I’ll think about it” “You’re so mean!” I laughed and hugged him. He hugged me back. “Well, I’m going to get my first drink” “Don’t drink it all, and I’ll know if you’ve had more than five” He sighed and went to the bar. I smirked and sat next to Hallaa. “You tormenting him again?” she asked. “I am” She laughed.

*To Be Continued*

I wrapped my arms round him. “You tired now?” he asked. “A bit” “You need to eat!” “I don’t, I’m fine” “Babe you’ll be tired until you eat something, half an apple isn’t enough” I pulled away from him. “Izzy I’m fine!” “Why am I not convinced?” “I don’t know! Why can’t you just trust me?” I went upstairs to my room. I grabbed my book again and sat reading until I fell asleep.

The next morning I woke up in Izzys arms in bed. I sat up and looked around. Just then Izzy stirred and woke up. “Hey” he mumbled. “Why am I here?” “I carried you here, if you’re going to sleep then you’re going to sleep somewhere your neck wont suffer” I nodded. He sat up and wrapped his arms round me. I snuggled up to him. We sat in each others arms for a while. We pulled away a while later. “You hungry?” Izzy asked getting out of bed. I shook my head. “Please eat, even if it’s just a bit” I sighed. He sat back down and lifted my chin. I looked into his eyes. “Fine” He smiled feebly and got back up. He got dressed and went downstairs. I got dressed too and went to join him. I sat by the table and watched him stare at the fridge. “The foods inside it” I said. He shook his head and looked at me. “What? Oh, yeah, I know, I was just, thinking” “About?” “What to eat” I smiled. He went into the fridge and stared at the emptiness. I went up behind him and wrapped my arms round him. “You need to go shopping” he said. “Why just me?” “Take Hallaa if you want” “Why don’t you come?” “You vowed never to take me food-shopping again since I was such a nightmare last-time” I laughed. “Ok yeah, you have a point” “So, you think you could make something out of all this?” I looked at the food. “Probably” “OR, shall we just go grab some food from down town?” “You buying?” “Do I have a choice?” I just grinned. He rolled his eyes playfully. We grabbed our jackets and began our small walk into the city. We didn’t say anything to each other on our way there. Izzy decided to drag me to Canters. We sat on opposite sides of the booth. I put my feet up next to him. He began undoing the laces of my converse. “What are you doing?!” I asked pulling my feet down. “Nothing” “Yeah, nothing my arse!” He smirked. I put just one foot back up. He began to do the laces back up, but really tight. “Whoa! Trying to cut off the blood circulation to my foot!?” I asked. “It’s not that tight!” “It is! Undo it” He sighed and loosened the knot. Finally our food came. I sat stabbing my food for a while before actually eating some. After a while I got bored of my own food and began stealing Izzys. “I guess it’s better than you just not eating” he sighed. I smirked and stole his last bit of chicken. He scowled at me. “Prawn?” I asked pointing to my plate. He rolled his eyes. Finally we finished. “You ate it all, wow” I smiled and finished my drink. He paid and we left. “Get me a coffee” I said. “Do I have to?” “Yes” “Will I die if I don’t?” “Yes” He laughed and let me drag him to the small café. Finally we set off home, after I’d dragged him to the record-store, another café, a book store and some little corner shop. When we got home Slash was sat on the stairs smoking. “What’s up?” Izzy asked. “Nothing, where you go?” “For some food, initially” Izzy replied. I smirked and ran upstairs. When I came back down Izzy was sat next to him also smoking. I went and sat behind him, wrapping my legs round him. He smirked and rest his head on my arm. “Where’s Hallaa?” I asked. “Playing with the dogs in the garden” Slash replied. I nodded and kissed the top of Izzys head. We sat on the stairs chatting for ages. Hallaa came and joined us a while later. She sat in front of Slash. “Who needs sofa’s” she said laughing. We all sniggered and nodded. “So is Sleeping Beauty alive now?” Slash asked. I nodded. “Izzy was really really worried you know” Izzy hid his face in his hands. I smiled and squeezed him gently. “So what was up with you any way?” Slash asked. I shrugged. “I just didn’t feel up to anything” “Fair enough” “Babe go get my guitar” Izzy said. “Which one?” “Acoustic” I nodded and ran up to his room. I came back and handed it to him. I wrapped my legs round his waist again and rest my chin on the top of his head. Slash and Hallaa slid down a few steps. “Ooh, wait” Slash said standing up. He ran and got his guitar. The two sat jamming. Hallaa and I sighed happily and watched. Just then the phone rang. Hallaa ran to get it. The boys carried on playing as if nothing was happening. She returned a while later with a camera. I laughed and hid my face in Izzys hair. I took Izzys shades off and put them on myself. Hallaa laughed and stole Slash’s hat. “Oh who was on the phone?” I asked. “Steven, he’s bored” “So?” “So I told him to go to Nikki’s or something” I nodded. Izzy leant back and kissed my chin. I smirked and kissed him back. The four of us sat messing about on the stairs for the rest of the day.

*To Be Continued*

I nodded. “Close the door before you sit down” he said shuffling up the bed. “No” “Go on” “Why?” “Because then there’s less chance on people walking in” “Why? They wont be walking in on anything” Izzy scowled. I smirked and sat on the end of the bed. Izzy shuffled back over and wrapped his legs round me. “I’ll close it then” He said kissing up my neck.

            The next morning I woke up with Izzys arms wrapped loosely round my waist. I sighed and sat up. Izzy stirred and rolled over. I reached over the side of the bed and grabbed my clothes. I got dressed and went downstairs. Duff was in the kitchen spaced out. I waved my hand in his face. He shook his head and looked at me. “Welcome to Earth” I said sitting down. He smirked. “You hungry?” “Fucking starving!” He went over to the fridge and rooted about. “So did you?” “Did I what?” “You know…” “No I don’t” “Yeah you do!” He looked at me urgently. “What? Seriously Duff looking at me like that gets me no closer to what you’re implying” “Well, you…and Izzy” “Duff my psychic powers are a little under par, I’m afraid you’ll have to spell it out” He sighed. “S-E-X” he mouthed. I laughed. “I thought you said it wasn’t awkward” He looked at his feet. Just then Izzy waltzed in. “Ahh, here you are” he said wrapping his arms round me. “Duff was just contradicting himself” I said. “How?” “He said it wasn’t awkward asking me about sex” Izzy looked at Duff. “You talking about sex again?! Jesus Christ Duff!” “What?!” They started arguing. I rolled my eyes and went to the living room. They joined me a while later. Duff handed me some food. Izzy slumped down next to me and draped an arm over my shoulder. I looked at him oddly. He smirked and took his arm back. I ate my food quickly. We sat chatting for a while. Jacki joined us a while later. Duff pulled her onto his knee. “What time are we going?” I asked Izzy. He looked at his watch. “An hour?” I nodded. I rest my head on his chest and snuggled up to him. He smiled and wrapped his arms round me. I listened to them all talk. Hallaa pranced into the front room a while later. Slash followed a second later. He grabbed Hallaa’s waist and sat them both down. “Duff your beds are lovely but I prefer ours” he said before making out with Hallaa. I sighed and buried my face into Izzys chest. “You tired?” he asked rubbing my back. I nodded and wrapped my arms round his waist. “Hey shall we go?” Hallaa suggested. “Yeah, one of you two drive” Izzy said throwing them the car-keys. “See you guys later then” Hallaa climbed into the drivers seat and Slash in the passenger. Izzy and I curled up in the backseat. I rest my head on his chest and wrapped my arms round him. He smiled and stroked my hair. I woke up later in bed with the covers over me. I sat up and rubbed my head. I could hear the others downstairs chatting and laughing. Just then Stevie popped her head round the door. She came in and jumped up on the bed. I sat playing with her for a while. She jumped down and ran out. She returned a while later with Colin. I sat playing them for ages. I decided to go to my room. I lay on the sofa and grabbed a book. I woke up the next morning still there. I went to the bedroom. Izzy was curled up under the covers. I smiled and went and lay next to him. I wrapped his arms round me and snuggled up to him. He kissed the top of my head. “Where’d you go?” he asked, not opening his eyes. “I fell asleep reading” I replied. He chucked and held me tighter. I fell asleep again. When I woke up it was dark outside. I threw a different set of clothes on and went downstairs. Everyone was in the front room. I went to the kitchen. I picked up a magazine and began reading. Treader joined me a while later. He jumped up on my knee and rest his head on the table. I smiled and sat stroking him. I felt hungry so I grabbed an apple. I ate half. Just then Izzy came in. “Hey, when did you get up?” he asked. “A few minutes ago” He sat opposite me. I gave the rest of my apple to Treader. “Half an apple? You not hungry?” I shook my head. Treader jumped down and went to the front room. Izzy came and sat next to me. He draped his arm over my shoulders and pulled me into him. “You alright babe?” I nodded. He didn’t seem convinced. “I’m fine, seriously” I replied. “You’re not eating and you’re sleeping a lot” “I’m not hungry and I’m tired” He sighed and held me tighter. I wrapped my arms round him. “You tired now?” he asked. “A bit” “You need to eat!” “I don’t, I’m fine” “Babe you’ll be tired until you eat something, half an apple isn’t enough” I pulled away from him. “Izzy I’m fine!” “Why am I not convinced?” “I don’t know! Why can’t you just trust me?” I went upstairs to my room. I grabbed my book again and sat reading until I fell asleep.

*To Be Continued*

“Yeah, I smashed my head on the bedside table too” We laughed even more. “It’s not funny! I think I blacked out! The next thing I remember is being back in bed fully naked and Hallaa lying asleep on top of me” “Ok shush!” Izzy said laughing even harder. Slash rubbed the back of his head where he’d obviously hit it.

            A few weeks later we were on our way to Duff’s house. When we got there he dived on Slash, sending them to the floor. We stood around staring. “Uh, hi?” Slash said. “Hello! God I missed you guys, hey come meet my new girl” He got up and ran inside. Izzy helped Slash up and we walked in. “Duff?!” I shouted. “In here!” We followed the sound of his voice. He was in the dining room with his new girlfriend. “Guys this is Jacki, Jacki this is my sister Belle, her husband Izzy, Slash and Hallaa” She smiled at us all. “What happened to Kim?” I asked. “She left me for some wrestler” I burst out laughing. Duff glared at me. “Sorry” I bit my lip. Izzy smirked and sat me down on his knee. “Anyway, Jacki is definitely the one” Jacki smiled and rest her head on his shoulder. “Don’t jinx it dude” Hallaa said. “No seriously, we’re engaged” “What!?” Izzy and I said in unison. “Takin’ it a bit fast don’t you think?” Slash asked. “Not really” Duff kissed her deeply. The rest of us looked at each other sceptically. “So anyway, you guys want a drink?” Duff asked standing up. “You asked that question!?” Slash said following him into the kitchen. Izzy went too. “So, uh, hi” Hallaa said. “Hey” Jacki replied. “When did you meet Duff?” I asked. “Just over a month ago” I nodded. “Belle what you want?!” Duff shouted. “Nothing alcoholic!” I replied. “What, why!?” “I’m driving!” “So?” “So!” They returned with the drinks. Izzy pulled me onto his knee. We all sat chatting for a while. “You sure you don’t want a drink? You guys can stay over y’know” Duff said. “Nah, we’d prefer our own bed” Izzy said kissing my neck. I laughed and pushed him off. “Yeah, we’re sure” “So? I’ve done it in one of your beds” “It’s because our beds are the best” Izzy replied. “They are” Slash said. “Still, you ain’t tried my beds” “I don’t intend to” “I will” Slash said. Hallaa laughed. “Fine, I could do with a drink” I said. Duff smirked and went to the kitchen. “We’re not having sex then” Izzy said. “Oh no! How will I cope!?” He scowled at me. I smirked and kissed his cheek. Duff returned and handed me a drink. “Shall we go to the front room?” he suggested. We all went and sat on the sofa’s. Duff put some music on and snuggled up to Jacki. Izzy wrapped his arms tightly round my waist. We all sat, not saying anything to each other. “Duff, which room am I in?” Slash asked. “Why?” “Me and Hallaa would like to inspect it!” Duff laughed and got up. Slash and Hallaa followed. “Are they always like that?” Jacki asked. “Yup, she raped him the other day” I replied. “How!?” “He was passed out” She laughed. “Duff would never do that” “I know, he’s gentlemanly” “I’m not?” Izzy asked. “Fuck no!” I replied laughing. He smirked and bit my ear. Us three sat chatting for a few minutes before Duff returned with more alcohol. “You two want to inspect your room?” Duff asked. “Nah-“ “-yeah” I scowled at Izzy. He smirked and kissed me softly. “Come on then Izzy” Duff said. “What!?” Duff laughed and sat down. Izzy looked at me. I giggled and kissed his nose. “He’s joking” I said. He looked at me sceptically. I smiled and wrapped my arms round his neck. He hugged me back. “Don’t leave me alone with him” he whispered. I burst out laughing. “Don’t worry, I wont” He smirked and kissed me softly. “What are you two whispering about?” Duff asked smirking. “Nothing!” I replied. “Yeah yeah, you sure you don’t want to check out your room?” “Why are you like this? I’m your sister” “You don’t feel like it anymore, you’re just like Izzys girl now, not my sister” “Thanks, I love you too” “It’s good thing! It means I don’t get freaked out when I hear you two having sex!” My jaw dropped. “What!?” “You cant say that!” “Why not!” “You just cant!” “Izzy, does it bother you?” “It’s a bit weird but not really” “See! Come on, I’ll show you your room” He grabbed my wrist and pulled me upstairs. Izzy followed. She shoved me into a room. Izzy came in too. “Happy love making!” Duff said before running downstairs. I looked at Izzy. He was smirking. “Don’t even think about it” I said. “Think about what?” I scowled at him. He pulled me in between his legs. I rest my hands on his shoulders. He buried his face into my stomach and rest his hands on my ass. “What’s up?” I asked stroking his hair. “Nothing” he replied looking up. I nodded. “Close the door before you sit down” he said shuffling up the bed. “No” “Go on” “Why?” “Because then there’s less chance on people walking in” “Why? They wont be walking in on anything” Izzy scowled. I smirked and sat on the end of the bed. Izzy shuffled back over and wrapped his legs round me. “I’ll close it then” He said kissing up my neck.

*To Be Continued*

Izzy rolled his eyes. He rolled on top of me and grabbed it. “Ow! Izzy!” What?” he said turning the TV on. “You fuckin’ hurt!” “Sorry! It’s not my fault” “I’ll make it your fault!” He prodded me in the side. “Cow” I mumbled. He smirked and rest his hand on one side of my face. I looked at him. He kissed me deeply. I smirked and wrapped my arms round him.

The next morning Izzy and I woke up quite late. “I’m going to go get a drink” Izzy said slipping some leather on. “Are you not putting a shirt on?” I asked. “No!” he replied looking at me as if I were insane. I laughed and watched him walk out. I lay in the middle of the bed and stretched. Izzy returned a few minutes later with a bottle of water. He closed the door and sat on the end of the bed. “Water?” I asked. He smirked and pulled my foot out from under the covers. “Yeah, what’s up with water?” he asked stroking my foot. “Is it even water?” He smirked. “Yeah, you want some?” “Nah” I watched him play with my foot. He traced his finger lightly down the sole of my foot, making me shiver. He smirked and put my foot down. He crawled up the bed and lay next to me. He propped himself up with his elbow and draped his other arm over my waist. I wrapped my arm round his neck. I played with his hair. It was silent for a while before Izzy spoke. “You know what we haven’t done for ‘ages’?” I looked at him sceptically. I noticed a slight look in his eyes. I laughed. “I don’t need a shower” I replied. “Well, when you do, I’ll be there” “Looking forward to it” He smirked and kissed me deeply. He pulled away and gazed into my eyes. “Come under here” I said. He lifted up the sheets. “Uh…” “…what?” “What was the rule you made up about being clothed in bed?” He smirked and sat up. I smirked too and watched him get fully undressed and crawl under the sheets with me. He wrapped his arms round my waist and pulled me closer. I rest my head on his chest and sighed. We lay in each others arms enjoying the silence…until there was a loud bang in Hallaa and Slash’s room. Izzy and I looked at each other. “What do you bet Slash fell out of bed?” I laughed. “Either that or Hallaa pushed him” He laughed too. He kissed the top of my head. “I don’t want to get out of bed today” I said burying my face into his neck. He rubbed my back. “Yeah, me neither” “What about the dogs?” I asked. “Oh yeah, uhm, Hallaa can do it” I smiled and snuggled up to him. “Oh wait” he said pushing me off him. “What?” “Just getting’ my water” He dived under the sheets and grabbed his water at the foot of the bed. He took a slight detour on the way back up. I laughed and pulled him off my stomach. “What?” he asked coming out from under the sheets. I took his water off him and put it on the bedside table. He pulled me closer and stroked my waist. I played with his hair again. “You know what I’d quite like?” I said. “Apart from me?” I giggled. “Yes, apart from you” “Well I have no idea what you’d want that isn’t me” I smirked and pulled him closer. “I would quite like, a nice, hot, bath” He pulled away and smirked at me. “It’s not the same if you don’t have a hot rock-star in it” “I’m sure he’s busy but if Slash wants to join me…” He scowled at me. I laughed and pulled him into a deep kiss. “I’ll go run us a bath then” he said kissing me softly. I smirked and rolled over. A while later he came back in, scooped me up in his arms and carried me to the bathroom. He lay me down in the water and climbed in after me. I fingered the tips of his hair. He began kissing up my neck. After our bath I lay on the bed wrapped in a towel. Izzy sat on the edge of the bed in his leather again. “And you say I have a bad habit of getting dressed when I shouldn’t” I said wrapping my arms round his neck. He laughed and kissed my arm. “Well, it doesn’t sound like Hallaa and Slash are getting out of bed anytime soon, so I thought I’d feed the dogs before they died” I laughed. “You’re so morbid” “I’M morbid?! Say’s Miss-Death herself?!” “Uhm, MRS-death” I said holding up my left hand. He laughed and kissed me softly. “Go on, feed the dogs” I said letting go of him. He went downstairs. As he was gone I got dry and lay back under the bed-sheets. He returned with Tyson. I grinned and snatched him off Izzy. He rolled his eyes and sat on the edge of the bed. “You really don’t intend on getting out of bed do you” he said. “Nope, and I’m not getting dressed in case I get shouted at” He laughed. “It’s weird me being the one getting in trouble for wanting to be dressed” “I thought it’d be fun to have a little role reversal” He smirked and lay next to me. “It’s fun when you take charge” he said kissing my neck. “I know” We played with Tyson for a while. “Well hello!” Slash said bursting into the room. “Hello” I replied not looking up. “What are we doing today” he asked sitting on the end of the bed. “WE are not getting out of bed; I don’t know or care what you do” “Can I join you?” “Sure-” “-Uh, no!” Izzy said. I laughed. “Nah, go play with Hallaa” “I have done, she pushed me out of bed” Izzy and I laughed. “Is that what it was?” “Yeah, I smashed my head on the bedside table too” We laughed even more. “It’s not funny! I think I blacked out! The next thing I remember is being back in bed fully naked and Hallaa lying asleep on top of me” “Ok shush!” Izzy said laughing even harder. Slash rubbed the back of his head where he’d obviously hit it.

*To Be Continued*

He laughed and put his hand on his head. “Urgh, you’re right” he said looking at his hand. I laughed. “Shower with me?” “I cant, if I have too many my boy will fuck up” “Whatever, come on” He grabbed me and dragged me to the bathroom. “But I’ve just dried my hair!” “I really don’t care!”

            It wasn’t long until the tour was over. Izzy had allowed Slash and Hallaa to move in with us. “What are the boys doing today?” Hallaa asked. “What they usually do” I replied dumping some dishes in the sink. She nodded and flipped through a magazine on the counter. It was silent except for the banging downstairs in the basement. “I may go do some shopping” I said after a while. Hallaa nodded. “You coming?” “Uhm…” “You can either come with me or stay here with the drugged-up wonders” “Ok, I’ll get my coat” We went down the street and shopped. When we returned a few hours later Izzy and Slash had moved up to the living room and were jamming on their guitars. “Hey! Where’d you go?” Izzy asked. “Shopping, why?” Hallaa replied. “What you get?” he asked getting up. “Food, shit like that” I replied going to the kitchen. “What you get?” He sat on the counter. “Go play guitar or you can unpack” “Ok” He jumped down and went back to the living room. Hallaa and I unpacked and sat chatting over a cup of coffee. Izzy came in a while later and began rooting in the cupboards. “You didn’t happen to…” “Freezer” He went in a pulled out some vodka. “Thanks” He kissed the top of my head and went back to the living room. “Shall we go see what they’re up to?” Hallaa asked. I shrugged and stood up. We went to the front room. They both had a bottle of vodka and were playing with the dog. “Did you feed Clyde today?” Slash asked. “You fed him yesterday” Hallaa replied. “So? He needs to be fed” “He’s a snake! He doesn’t need feeding that often!” “Did you feed Treader then?” “Slash shut-up” “Whoa, aren’t you a charmer” Izzy stood up and went over to me. He wrapped his arms round me tightly and pulled me back down on the sofa. “What’s up?” I asked. “Nothing, I want to hug you!” I smiled and wrapped my arms round him. “Baby go get Clyde” Slash said. Hallaa sighed and went upstairs. “No don’t get him! He’ll scare the dogs!” I said. “Your dogs are such pussy’s, it’s only a snake” “They’re dogs; they don’t really….no snakes around the dogs!” Slash sighed. Hallaa returned with the snake. Slash took it to the kitchen. Treader jumped up on my knee. Izzy and I sat playing with him. After a while Izzy began getting bored and looked tired. “What’s up?” I asked. “Nothing, the high’s just wearing off” I nodded. “Pass me that vodka” he said pointing at the bottle. I passed it him. He downed almost half of it. “That’s better” he said putting it on the floor. I stared at him, wide-eyed. “What?” he asked. “You just downed all that” “Yeah?” “What the fuck?!” He smirked and wrapped his arms round me. “We haven’t talked properly for ages” he said resting his chin on my shoulder. “Because you haven’t been around” “Yeah…what have you been up to then?” “All the shit I’m s’posed to do” “Such as?” “Cleaning, looking after the dogs, keeping your ass outta trouble…” “Ok, ok…you need a break, you look worn out” “I guess” It went silent. “What’s up? We used to talk for hours, non stop” “I know, it’s just…different” “I need to calm it on the drugs don’t I” “It would help” He nodded and kissed my neck. “Hey Izzy! Where’s that Chinese?” Slash shouted. “In the fridge!” “Where? Come show me!” “Hallaa show him!” Izzy buried his face into my neck. “You fancy having an early night?” he asked. “How early is early?” “Uhm, in a minute?” “It’s half four!” “I know, well?” “…Go on then” He went to the kitchen, grabbed some food and alcohol and pulled me up to our room. “What are you two up to?” Slash asked coming out into the hall. “Having an early night” Izzy replied. “But its half four” “Yeah?” “Ooh, I get you!” “We’re not having sex!” “Sure you’re not!” Izzy sighed and pulled me into our room. He switched the TV on and pulled me into bed. We lay in each others arms for a while. There was a bang downstairs. “Leave it” Izzy said clutching to my waist. I nodded and snuggled up to him. “Nothing on TV” Izzy said turning it off. I sat up. “You spoken to Sara at all?” I shook my head. “She and Axl are moving to Miami, so they’re a bit busy” “He never told me” “He did, you were drunk when he told you” “Was I? Oops” I smiled and took his hands in mine. “Is he really going?” “Yeah, he’s not going to be gone forever, he’ll come back for recording and shit” “Damnit, was getting my hopes up then” I laughed and poked him. “Don’t poke me!” he said poking me back. “Fine, I’ll stab you” “…Poke all you want!” I smiled and laced our fingers together.

*To Be Continued*

“How is he?” Duff asked. “Uhm, fine, I hope” “What was wrong?” “Olivia had manipulated him into thinking he was hurting me and we shouldn’t be together” “Ooh, but you managed to sort him out?” “Hopefully, he’s still asleep” Duff pushed the door open fully and came in. I rolled my eyes. Kim came in too. We sat on the sofa chatting quietly.

            …Izzy didn’t wake up until gone midday. I smiled and went over to him when I saw he was awake. “Hey babe” he mumbled wrapping his arms round me. “Afternoon, feeling better?” “I guess so, did yesterday actually happen?” “I’m afraid so” He sighed and held onto me tighter. “What doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger” I said. He pulled away and looked at me. “Yeah, I guess so” “Guess so?” He smirked. “Ok, you’re right…as usual” I smiled and hugged him again. “Do you think we could go on as if it never happened?” Izzy asked. “As if what never happened?” I replied smiling. He smirked and kissed me softly. “All this sleeping has made me hungry” he said pulling the covers off him. I laughed and got off the bed. He got dressed and we set off in search for food. On the way we bumped into Slash and Hallaa. “Hey, is everything ok?” Slash asked. “Yeah, we’re great” Izzy replied pulling me closer. Hallaa smiled at us. “Well, uhm, where you off to?” “Food, I’m fuckin’ starving!” I laughed. Slash rolled his eyes. “Oh yeah, Kim chucked Olivia off the tour” Hallaa said. “Olivia?” “Yeah, that whore…” “Oh the whore, yeah, good” I laughed again. “Right, well, your life seems to be sorted, we’ll be off” Slash said dragging Hallaa off. “Now…back to you” he said wrapping his arms round me. “We were off to get food” “Oh yeah…lets eat” I laughed as he pulled me down the corridor. Finally we got to a small diner. We ordered some food and sat down. Izzy pulled me onto his knee as we ate. “How can you eat with me on your knee?” I asked. “With difficulty” I laughed and slid off. “Uhm, you’d better get back on my knee now” “Nah” “On my knee! Now!” “Make me!” “Oh I’ll make you!” He grabbed me round the waist and heaved me onto his knee. “Now you stay there like a good girl” I laughed and picked up some food. Finally we finished. We set off back to the hotel. Izzy laced our fingers together. We walked a meter or two apart, our arms outstretched. I yanked him towards me when someone tried to get past and away from me when we came up to a lamppost. “Pack it in!” he said shoving me into a random passer-by. “Oi!” I jumped on his back. He laughed and carried me to the end of the street, which was only a few feet. I climbed down and grabbed his hand. Eventually we got back to the hotel. We went to our room and lay on the sofa flicking through the TV channels. Just then Axl and Steven came in. “Dude, you okay?” Steven asked. “Never better” “Really?” “Uhm, yeah” “But yesterday…” “Stop living in the past guys, all we have is the present” I smiled and snuggled up to him. “Ok, so…what have you two been up to?” “Been out for some food” “Is that it?” “Yeah, well, I only woke up around two-ish” “Oh, okay then…you sure you’re ok?” “I’m fine! Seriously!” Axl and Steven sat down on the bed. It was silent for a while. I grabbed Izzys hat off the floor and put it over his face. He laughed and put it on me. I sat up and moved the hat so it was a jointy angle. He smirked and took his scarf off. He wrapped it round my neck. “Whoa, Jesus, trying to strangle me?” I asked loosening it. “Ooh, sorry, come here!” He kissed up my neck. Axl and Steven were sat, watching us like we were some freak show. “How many happy pills did you slip him?” Steven asked. “No happy pills, just love” Izzy said snuggling up to me. I smiled. “Ok, well…I’m going to go look after my kid” Axl said standing up. “Yeah…I may go make sweet sweet love to Kiera” Izzy and I laughed. “Ok, well, later” They left. I stood up. Izzy pulled me in between his legs. He rest his hands on my hips. I ran my hands through his hair. “Sorry to ruin the moment, but your hair is so gross” I said wiping my hand on his shoulder. “Huh?” “It’s full of grease” “Oh” “Oh?! Go and wash you filthy bugger!” “No! I need the grease to build up on my fingers!” “Run your hands through your bloody hair! There’s enough in there!” He laughed. “Seriously Izzy, that’s just disgusting” “Oh well, you’ll live” “Eww! And the blacks coming out too” “What?” I showed him my hand. “You need to re-do your hair” “Now?” “Not now, but sometime soon” He nodded. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have Izzy-residue on my hand” He laughed and let me go to the bathroom.

*To Be Continued*

“I’m not teaching a kid to respect me! It should be programmed to do that!” “Programmed?! Are we having some kind of robot baby?!” “It’d be easier, I could turn it down if it made too much noise, turn it off at night so I could sleep…” He stopped when he saw me scowling at him. “…What?! I’m just saying!” I rolled my eyes.

            …The next day I woke up alone. I sat up and got out of bed. I got dressed and lay on the sofa. Sara came in a few minutes later. “Hey” she said sitting next to me. “Hey” “Izzys shooting up, just so you know” “Ok” “You don’t seem to phased by it” “Not really, I guessed” “How?” “Well, he hadn’t done it for ages, and I think his body was beginning to detox” “Ah, ok” We chatted for a while. Just then Duff burst in. “Belle! Come with me!” he said whilst panting. “What, why?” “Just come on!” He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his room. Izzy was sat in the corner, hiding his face. “What’s up?” I asked. “Olivia came in and started spouting out shit about you hating him and all this” “What!?” “Yeah, and we don’t know what to do with him!” I went over and crouched next to him. “Izzy?” He looked up. “What’s wrong?” I asked running my fingers through his hair. He put his head back down on his knees. Duff ushered everyone out of the room. I sat next to him. “Izzy, talk to me” “Why did you cut yourself?” “What?” “Olivia said you were trying to kill yourself and it was my fault” he mumbled. “No! Olivia talks shit! You know she does!” “But why did you though?” “Its not important” “It is because of me!” “Izzy…” “How can we be together if this is what I do to you?!” “Izzy you did nothing!” “I made you hurt yourself! That’s enough!” “This is what she wants! She wants us to break up” “Well maybe its for the best” “Izzy, look me in the face and tell me you don’t want to be with me anymore” He put his head back down. “I cant” “So why even suggest it?” “Because, I cant see you get hurt anymore” “You’re going to break my heart and tell me its because I deserve better?!” “I don’t know! What would happen if we did break up?” “I’d die! So you can either hurt me or kill me Izzy!” He looked up at me. “But you’d be suffering” “Izzy, why do you so desperately want to break up?!” “I don’t…” “Well stop mentioning it!” “Sorry, its just Olivia…” “Don’t listen to anything she says! She’s trying to get into your mind!” He dropped his head back on his knees. I wrapped my arms round him. He hugged me tightly. “I love you” I said into his hair. “I love you too” We sat on the floor holding each other. “Come on, you need to lie down” I said pulling him up. We went back to our room. We snuggled up in bed and fell asleep. I woke up a few hours later alone. I heard the shower running; the bathroom door was wide open. I looked inside. Izzy was sat on the floor of the shower, still clothed. I sighed and went over. “What’s up?” I asked wrapping my arms round him. “I feel like such a twat” “Why?” “For listening to Olivia, for actually suggesting we break up…” “You were high, its not your fault” “But still” I stroked his shoulder with my thumb. “Would you like to explain to me why you’re showering with your clothes on?” I asked. “Oh, uhm, I don’t know” I smiled. “Come on, something tells me you didn’t sleep” “Not really” “Come on then” We stood up. He turned the shower off. We got dry and got changed. We crawled back into bed. “Now this time you sleep” I said wrapping my arms round his neck. “Ok” He kissed me softly and buried his face into my neck. I stroked his hair. The next day I woke up first. I carefully got out of bed and got dressed. I cleaned up our room a bit. Just then I heard shouting in the corridor. I went out to see what it was. Kim was arguing with Olivia. “Just fuck off! I’m surprised Belle hasn’t killed you yet!” Kim shouted. “I thought we were mates!” “Yeah, we were! Past tense! Get over it!” They argued a while longer before Duff threw Olivia’s things at her. “Fine! I’m off! See-ya!” She stormed off down the corridor. “What was that about?” I asked. “Oh, didn’t see you there” Duff said. “Yeah, is she going?” “Yeah, I told her to just fuck off, coz of yesterday, that was like, the worst thing anyone could have done, ever” Kim said. “How is he?” Duff asked. “Uhm, fine, I hope” “What was wrong?” “Olivia had manipulated him into thinking he was hurting me and we shouldn’t be together” “Ooh, but you managed to sort him out?” “Hopefully, he’s still asleep” Duff pushed the door open fully and came in. I rolled my eyes. Kim came in too. We sat on the sofa chatting quietly.

*To Be Continued*

He slid down the wall a bit. “Yeah” I wrapped my arms round his neck. He smiled and held my waist. “As much as you’re loving this, it’s really hurting my back” he said after a few minutes. “Fine, stand up then” He stood up properly. “But now you’re too tall” “Shall I get you a box to stand on?” I laughed and nodded.

            … “So this box of mine” I said. “Uhm…I’ll get you one tomorrow” “So I have to be a short-ass for another 24 hours?” “I’ll make it up to you” I laughed and wrapped my arms round his waist. He draped his over my shoulders and pulled me closer. “Comfy down there?” he asked. “Yup, how’s the weather up there?” He laughed and kissed my forehead. “Are you two going to stand there all day?” Duff asked. “Why?” “Well, why don’t you sit down?” We looked at the empty space on the sofa. “Come on then” I said pulling Izzy over to it. He sat down, I sat on the arm of the sofa and rest my feet in his lap. He pulled me closer and rest his head on my legs. I played with his hair. “Alright there?” Axl asked, laughing. “Yes thank you” Izzy replied. I smiled. Finally the guys went on. Izzy dedicated ‘Think About You’ to me. At the interval he came over and hugged me tightly. I smiled and hugged him back. “Izzy, your Gibson ES-175’s digging into me again” He laughed and swung it round. “At least you’ve learnt something today” I hit him playfully. “Ooh, we’re back on” he said pulling way from me. “Don’t you dare dedicate any more songs to me!” I said. He laughed. “I’ll try!” I scowled at him playfully. He ran back on stage with the guys. After the show we snuggled up in a large armchair in the corner of the room whilst everyone else drank. “Can you look after Hayden for a while?” Sara asked coming over. “Uhm…sure” “Thanks” Axl came over with the kid. I played with him for a while as Izzy just watched. I grabbed Hayden’s hand and made him poke Izzys nose. I laughed as Izzy poked him back. Hayden giggled and grabbed his finger. “You two are amazingly cute together” I said. “Yeah, that’s marvelous, he has my finger!” I laughed. “Oh no, don’t put it in your mouth” I said pulling Izzys finger out of Hayden’s grasp. “That little beast tried to eat my finger!” Izzy said. “He hasn’t got teeth! And I think he wouldn’t have liked the taste anyway” “What the hells up with my finger?” “Well, you smoke, so it’d be covered in cigarette crap” “…True” Hayden climbed up Izzys chest and held onto his necklace. “Am I just some sort of jungle-gym for this little kid? Has Axl already taught it to hate me?” I laughed and pulled Hayden off. “See, it likes you” “Maybe he doesn’t like you because you call him IT, instead of his name” “Whatever, he wont remember by the time he can care” “you’re so mean!” “Meh” I made Hayden stand up and grab onto Izzy. “Ok ok, Jeese!” I laughed and pulled him off again. Hayden stood up on his own and went for Izzys ear. “Get him off!” I laughed and pulled him off. “Right, that kid is going to die if it doesn’t leave me alone!” “Hey! You are not killing a harmless little child!” “Harmless?! Harmless?! That! Is not harmless!” “What?! He’s so adorable! And safe” “Safe my arse! Its trying to pull off and eat my body parts!” “He’s just exploring the world!” “Well he can do it away from me!” “God Izzy, you were like this is a baby” “I was not” “You were! Everyone was!” “I wasn’t! I was amazing” “….sure” “hey!” He bit my neck. I laughed and picked Hayden up. He reached up to Izzy again. “Keep him away from me!” he grabbed Izzys hair. “Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow” “You’re such a wuss” I said pulling Hayden off. “Whatever!
