His voice is so pretty 💋🖤
Conflicted Chapter 28🎀:
Maddy P.O.V
After two weeks of rotting in my bed, I summoned the nerve to seek out Axl again after he requested that I visit him.
He contacted me about a month ago and tried to call again, but I wasn't feeling well and had avoided meeting or talking to anyone for the past few weeks because I was still dealing with the Izzy situation.
What made it even more difficult for me was the fact that Izzy never called; every day, I would wake up and travel down the stairs to ask my mother if he had.
She would discreetly shake her head and give me a pity look, which I despised since I didn't want my mother to feel bad for believing someone like Izzy would bother to contact me
“Maddy!”
“What?” I replied, glancing up from my bowl of cereal, wondering if I was talking aloud and whether my mother had heard me.
“Axl called again, he’s asking for you. I think you should answer hon.” she insisted, feeling sympathy for the redhead who had attempted to contact her daughter, unlike Izzy, which made her like him even more.
“Alright.”
…..
“Maddy?”
“Hi Axl.” I muttered holding the phone closer to my ear as I felt it slip out of my sweaty hands, all of a sudden nervous.
“I’ve been trying to reach you, but your mom said you weren’t feeling well. So, I thought maybe…. your feeling better?” he asked.
“I-Well…honestly,I’ve been avoiding your calls and I wasn’t feeling so good.” I sighed.
“I figured,..…..I’ve missed you, so has Duff y’know. I think you should give him a call.”
"No, thanks,….and if you called to get me back on good terms with my brother, who embarrassed me and never apologized, then no." I spat, eager to hang up.
"Okay, just hear me out. Izzy's doing good. But your brother isn't doing so well, and he's still upset with Izzy, which is disrupting our live shows." he explained.
"I couldn’t care less about Izzy,….my brother knows what he did." I lied, simply because I was too stubborn to accept that I had made a mistake by choosing Izzy to have my heart, and now I had to face the consequences.
"I guess you're right…..so, why don't you come visit me here? Maybe after seeing everyone, you'll feel better?" he asked, holding on by a thread.
“Like who?” I scoffed.
“Slash and Steven. Those two ask about you all the time y’know.”
I cringed when I heard those two names because they had nothing to do with the fight that had broken out that night, but rather with the falling out. I felt horrible for not communicating with them because I knew they meant well and I adored them both, especially Slash.
He was also the one who cared the most about me when I was fighting with Izzy or Axl.
“Fine. But I’m only coming to see Slash or Steven and maybe…you.” I spoke into the telephone.
“Great. I’ll fly you out and I’ve already spoken with your mom about the idea and she’s fine with it.” he told me, grinning on the other side of the phone.
“See you then I guess.” I replied, ending the phone call and letting out a deep breathe.
I was already regretting agreeing to this.
“Maddy! Over here!” I heard a voice yell from across the L.A.X airport.
My flight had left yesterday, late night, so when I landed it was practically morning in the sunny city of Los Angeles.
“Yes I see you.” I sighed, rolling my eyes at the sudden memories that came rushing back as soon as I spotted Axl and his red hair that were full of past memories.
He slipped past me at first, not recognizing my newly dyed hair, which was now shoulder length and half the length of his, giving me a little grown-up appearance but still appearing young and emphasizing my baby face.
“Oh wow. You look different.” he muttered taking a good look at me, up and down.
“Thanks?...” I replied, raising an eyebrow, wondering what he had meant by that.
“You look good obviously.” he added, playfully rolling his eyes as he pulled me into his embrace, squishing my face on his shoulder.
“I have the car out front.” he exclaimed, collecting my luggage as he led me out the massive airport's sliding doors and into the welcoming sun, as well as the hot wind that blasted me as soon as we stepped outside of the shade.
We spotted his car and rushed to it when Slash emerged out of the driver's seat to help me with all of my bags.
“Slash?” I squealed, finally happy to see someone who I genuinely missed.
“Hey! You’re not Maddy, what have you done with her and her blonde hair.” he teased, scrunching my hair, as he picked it up and examined it with his fingers, through his dark shades.
“I thought it looked good.” I huffed, matching his playful banter as I pouted and put both hands on my hips.
“It does. I’m just playin.” he smiled, pulling me into his chest with an arm around my shoulder.
“Ok, ok….you both are best friends, we get it.”
“But we should go now or else it’ll get late and the traffic will suck.” he suggested, hopping into the driver’s seat.
“Wait, sit with me in the back?” I asked,pouting my lips at Slash who was already halfway sat in the front passenger seat.
“Ok alright.” he agreed, softly slapping my shoulder before joining me in the back.
“So how is Izzy?” I asked Axl, who met my eyes in the rear view mirror upon hearing Izzy’s name being mentioned.
“He’s uh good. Why?”
“Just curious..” I replied, looking out the window at the familiar scenery I drove past not too long ago.
“Izzy’s been banging chicks left and right.” Slash laughed, unable to contain his jokes causing me to frown.
“Hey, it’s okay.” he cooed.
“Izzy doesn’t deserve someone as beautiful and pure as you anyways.” Slash told me, stroking my hair in an attempt to lift my frown.
Which wasn’t working because now my stomach felt all queasy and I wanted nothing more than for Axl to turn the car back around to the airport.
How little did I mean to him.
“We’re going to my house and I think all the guys will be there, so, just a heads up Maddy.” Axl told me, wincing.
“Whatever. I don’t care.” I sighed, leaning into Slash and resting my head on his inviting shoulder.
He pulled me closer in his arms and stroked my arm.
When we arrived at his place, I couldn't help but feel anxious about seeing Izzy again, and my fingers began to shake involuntarily. But I tried to remain composed and fearless as we climbed up the steps to Axl's new house, which was more accurately characterized as a mansion.
“Don’t be nervous. He’s probably just as nervous knowing you’re showing up.” Axl told me, patting me on the shoulder.
“Hey guys!” Steven exclaimed as he opened the door, reaching out to embrace me first and picking me up to spin.
“I missed you Maddy.” he told me, putting me down.
“I missed you too Stevie.” I pouted, feeling guilty about never properly saying goodbye to him.
“Okay, go on inside before the annoying neighbor comes back to complain about the noise.” Slash groaned, pushing me into the home as he followed behind.
Axl's house was skillfully decorated with bold tones, brightness, and lovely hues on the tiles and walls of the large house. He had also hung several art frames around the empty space, including a few photographs of Gun N Roses from their early days, as well as a couple of vinyls, to match the images to the songs played in the pictures.
“Your home is beautiful Axl.” I gleamed, looking around the surprisingly artistic place.
“Thanks. I had my ex girlfriend help me with a lot of the things around the house.” he nervously chuckled.
“Right.” I emphasized on the t, suddenly remembering the brunette that was once around.
“Axl what the fuck took so long?” I heard the familiar voice of Izzy call out.
Fuck fuck fuck.
“I thought you were just going to ge-……Maddy?”

Duff appreciation post
Conflicted: Pt 6 🎀
A/N: i couldn’t sleep so I wrote this & now i’m sleepy asf so it helped , also i hope u all enjoy !!!<333 also this one is a bit longer than other chapters i’ve written!!!
Maddy P.O.V
I spent the whole night tossing and turning unable to sleep thinking about what happened between Izzy and I at the diner.
I knew I had to tell Duff one way or another but I wasn’t so sure if that was a conversation I was ready to have.
Duff convinced our mom to let me stay here in L.A under his care and I knew indefinitely I would be shipped back home the same day if he found out about Iz and I.
My pillow wasn’t doing any justice to helping me sleep either.
I huffed and got up from my bed opening the door to grab a pillow from the couch where Izzy was sleeping.
“Iz? Are you asleep?” I whispered looking at Izzy’s lifeless body in front of me or so it seemed.
I guess that’s how he slept at night.
Like a corpse.
“No. I’m wide awake Maddy.” he mocked turning on his other side away from the peering light through my cracked room door.
“Do you have a pillow I could borrow. I can’t sleep with the one I have.” I pestered placing both hands on his shoulder that was upright at his current sleeping position.
He turned back around to face me with his squinted expression and grabbed a pillow from behind to extend it out towards me.
“Thanks.” I squealed eagerly grabbing out to it.
“Not so fast.”
“You’re gonna have to take it. If you want it so badly.”
“Izzy come on. I’m sleepy.” I whined lightly stomping my foot.
“Hey I was too! You woke me up so you have to do what I say. It’s the rule.” he remarked.
“Fine.”
I went forward and tried to grab the pillow when he grabbed my waist and pulled me onto him.
“Stop. Duff will wake up.” I squealed scrambling to get out of his strong grip.
“I’ll let you go if you give me a kiss.” he smirked.
“Just one kiss Iz.” I strictly replied.
“Fine by me. As long as I get a kiss.”
I carefully leaned in, angling my lips to his, when he slammed into mine. I was about to pull away when Izzy placed his blanket over both of us, and the warmth was too appealing to leave.
I decided to get comfortable and straddled him while he inserted his hot tongue into my mouth.
He let go of my lips but moved on to my neck, leaving little hickeys against it.
When he discovered my sweet spot, I began whimpering, and he sighed into my neck sucking harder.
I couldn't help but let out a tiny sigh and involuntarily began grinding myself against him, causing him to breathe out and hungrily return to my lips.
He briefly stopped kissing me for a second before continuing and stopping again.
"Maddy, do you know how to tongue kiss or do you just not enjoy my tongue?" he questioned, gazing at me strangely.
How can I tell him that I have absolutely no experience with boys? I don't even know how to kiss correctly.
The only reason I got away with kissing him before was because it never got too serious.
“Uhm I-I’ve never really kissed a boy before.” I mumbled hoping he didn’t really understand what I said.
“I’m also a virgin.” I cringed wondering what his reaction would be.
“That’s pretty obvious now.” he said, looking at me with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?" I asked, immediately convinced that he would not want me anymore given his extensive experience.
"If you're a virgin then I can't be with you."
"What do you mean?" I asked, suddenly becoming defensive.
“I don't want you to loose something as special as that to someone like me which will eventually happen if you keep this up with me." he groaned, pushing my body off of him.
"Izzy, why are you acting like I can’t think for myself?”
"You can’t make that decision for me." I spat strongly.
“I’m not good for you, Maddy. You deserve someone like yourself.”
“Not a junkie," he conceded.
“Can’t say I’m surprised.” I retorted immediately regretting coming out here for a pillow in the first place.
“You’re right. I don’t deserve a junkie like you.”
I ran straight into my room leaving the pillow behind and vowing to never talk to Izzy again.
Why did I even think that he was different. Maybe because of his nonchalant demeanor it just never seemed like he was using.
But now I knew I couldn’t even trust Izzy. I never had a great relationship with drugs. Not that I did any but I saw the way they affected Duff.
That was all the reason I needed to hate them.
The next morning I woke up ready to ignore Izzy and see his reaction but to my surprise he was doing the same.
He acted as if I wanted even there.
“Sis. Do you wanna come with Iz and I to the beach?”
I was desperately wanting a day all to myself to go to the beach but I couldn’t be left alone in such a big city.
And the company wasn’t exactly the ideal people I thought of spending a relaxing day with since Duff and Izzy were the most chaotic duo I knew but I sucked it in and agreed to come along.
“Oh and Axl is coming too.” Duff added before disappearing into his room to grab some things.
Perfect.
Axl coming was the best thing to happen ever since my mom let me travel to L.A.
I could use Axl to make Izzy jealous and realize that he wanted to be with me as badly as I wanted him.
My closet was awaiting and so were the cute bikini’s I decided to pick for the beach.
Duff wouldn’t be too pleased but I didn’t care because the whole plan was to make Izzy jealous and I was willing to do anything for that.
“I’m ready.” I told Duff coming out of the room in tiny shorts and my red bikini that I had bought from a sale at the mall here.
“Aren’t you gonna wear a shirt over that Maddy.” Duff groaned rolling his eyes at Izzy’s sudden behavior change.
“No. I think I’m pretty comfy.” I smiled walking past them both and out the door.
When we got in the car Duff had been trudging a huge bag full of soccer balls, volleyballs and other junk he had wanted to do at the beach.
“Duff I’m not sitting in the back with this stuff!” I stomped looking at the backseat which was halfway covered leaving little room for me to sit.
“Okay fine. You’ll have to sit with Maddy then Iz.” he said turning to look at Izzy.
Izzy didn’t say anything but nodded helping Duff push the stuff in the passenger seat before he closed the door and hopped into the backseat where I was sitting.
I hated in the middle since I usually got annoyed from having to deal with people on each side of me but I had no choice because Axl would be joining us soon.
“Are you both comfy?” Duff asked peering at us through the rear view mirror.
“Yeah. Fine.” Izzy muttered spreading his legs out and getting comfy.
Duff started playing some punk music really loud and completely drowned us out.
I felt Izzy’s leg’s touch mine each time the car went over a bump.
I huffed and moved over a little so there could be some room between us but for some strange reason the universe did not want that
And all of a sudden Duff made an abrupt right turn practically throwing me onto Izzy’s lap face first.
Izzy smirked before pulling me up and stroking my hair asking if I was alright.
“Stop.” I spat shoving his hand away from me.
“Come on Maddy. Don’t be like that.” he cooed grabbing onto my thigh tightly.
“Duff’s not even paying attention to us. Can I get a kiss?”
“No! You’re the one who didn’t want me last night because I wasn’t your perfect little fuck buddy.”
“I never said we had to fuck. But we could still mess around.” he said grabbing a piece of loose hair to twirl around in his finger.
I looked towards the front of the car where Duff was driving and noticed when he made the turn that one of the things he had brought was blocking him from seeing the backseat.
“Are you guys good back there. I know I can’t see you guys but I hope you both are comfy.” Duff asked.
“Yeah we’re good.” Izzy replied giving me a grin.
I rolled my eyes and pushed away from him but he was persistent on keeping me close so he grabbed my thigh and pulled me right next to him.
“Why do you keep moving away from me?” he asked pushing my hair out of my face and cupping my cheek.
“Iz you literally told me last night that you didn’t want me because I was a virgin.”
“I only said that because you’re so naive Maddy.”
“I don’t think you’ll be happy if you loose it to me. I think you’ll regret it.” he remarked to me with a sigh.
“I won’t. I promise. I like you a lot Iz. I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else.” I murmured looking into his eyes with a hopeful gaze.
“Take these off.” he whispered tugging at my tiny shorts.
“Are you crazy. What if Duff sees!” I panicked.
“He won’t Maddy. Just do what I say.” He casually shrugged as if he understood what he was doing.
I slowly peeled off my shorts making sure they pooled around my ankles just incase Duff wanted to look back but Izzy yanked them off my ankles.
He parted my thighs so that one of them was resting in between his thighs and the other was spread wide open.
He dipped his fingers into his mouth to wet them and reached down inside my underwear, running his wet fingers up and down my pussy before coming to my clit and rubbing it quickly and harshly in circles
"Izzy." I gasped involuntarily, bucking my hips against his fingers. I gazed up at him with lust-filled eyes and kissed him messy with my tongue, doing my best to leave a spit trail when I pulled back to look down at where he was touching me.
“You like that?" he muttered, leaning in closer to feel every jerk my body made in response to his finger movements.
“Maddy?” he asked.
“Y-Yes. I love it Izzy.” I moaned
“Maddy!”
“What Izzy. What’s wrong?” I asked looking up at him through my lashes.
“Maddy! Are you okay!” Izzy asked shaking my body to wake me up.
I jerked upwards crashing into Izzy’s forehead.
“Owww.” I hissed.
“Fuck. I was just trying to wake you up. You fell asleep out of nowhere so I got worried.” he groaned rubbing his forehead where I had hit.
“Sorry.” I apologized reaching out to help him but he rejected my hand and scooting back to where he was sitting.
Duff was still listening to his punk music with the radio blasting but there was nothing blocking his view of us?
Did I just hallucinate Izzy finger fucking me in the backseat just now?
I looked at him a little too hard earning a weird look from him which caused me to look away.
He was still ignoring me like he was when I came out to the kitchen in the morning.
I let out a frustrated sigh and scooted away from him and towards the window.
It wasn’t fair how he was treating me even though I was literally giving myself to him.
And it wasn’t even in a sexual way for me. It was more the fact that I finally found a man I felt safe with that I could trust with my body.
I guess he wanted something different.
boo! we want guns n roses!😒🎀
He's so cute I just want to cup his face and kiss him over and over until I fall asleep🤍
