Conflicted Chapter 27🎀:
Maddy P.O.V
The drive home from the concert was, to put it mildly, awful. I had no idea if I would be able to heal from the heartbreak I was currently experiencing.
I recalled hearing my friends talk about how heartbroken they were when they broke up with their lovers for the first time back in school, but I never realized how terrible it hurt until today.
But now I knew I had to stay away from L.A. for as long as possible in order to purge any memories of Izzy or anyone else from that band.
For sure I was going to miss Slash and Steven, but I honestly didn't want anything to do with them, and the best thing for me right now was to entirely disconnect from the group.
To tell the truth, I wasn't even sure if I wanted to see my brother again because he was the cause of everything that had gone wrong today, but it wouldn't have changed Izzy's decision to stay even if my brother had not said anything.
I guess I was rather irritated because my brother pointed out that Izzy did not love me enough to leave the band, which was not his fault.I suppose I was just a dumb young girl after all.
Axl P.O.V
To say I was upset at Maddy's decision to leave was an understatement, given that she was one of the rare girls I had met who, on occasions, I imagined having a true relationship with because she appeared to be and was different than every other girl I would stumble upon, who just slept around.
I knew she and Izzy were going to break up eventually, which is why I was trying to help her come to a swift decision, but instead she lashed out at me. If only she know I was only trying to help her, because, I didn't believe that Izzy would be as faithful as he appeared in front of her while she was away back home when we went on tour soon.
I've known him long enough to know that when he gets bored on the road, he likes to have company, specifically Pamela, and I knew Pamela was here for a reason, but when she saw Maddy, she became reluctant and backed off, not that Izzy was going to stop her advances regardless.
Izzy clearly cared about the girl, but I had the impression that he did not get along with her as well as I did. I believe we had something more unique than him, and I sensed it from the moment I met her.
“Bastard.”
“What?” I scoffed.
“I’m letting you know one last time to back off my girl.”
“Your girl?…Please, I saw you practically smoothing on Pam.” I scoffed.
“Oh man. Don’t act all innocent like you wouldn’t entertain it if a girl was coming into you, especially if they looked like Pam.” he retorted.
“Not if I had a girl like Maddy as my girlfriend.” I responded by immediately walking away from him, unable to handle being around him any longer without wanting to hit him square in the nose.
He followed after me, quickly, spinning me around roughly by my shoulder.
“The fuck.” I spat, shoving his hand.
“Listen motherfucker. Stay the hell away from my fucking personal life.” he roared, his eyes popping out, nostrils flared, and face flushed crimson with anger.
“No, you stay away from her.” I spit, getting in his face to let him know that I wasn’t intimidated.
“You just want to fuck her.”
“I already did.” I smirked, watching his face scrunch up with pure hatred.
“Your a piece of shit Axl.”
“You’re the one who was ready to take your pants off for a few quick seconds with Miss Pam.”
“You don’t know me.”
“I know you better than I know anyone.”
“…..If you think Maddy is in love with you than good luck.” he snickered, walking back to the dressing room smugly.
The next morning we awoke in Los Angeles. After such a lengthy absence, I was pleased to return to the city. But it didn't feel the same now that Maddy wasn’t here.
The city felt very different, a cold and lonely feeling she left behind, when her brother decided it was best for her to leave her, as for, Iz, to my surprise he was taking it hard and attempting to cope his feelings with whatever substances he sought.
Everyone was concerned about Iz and his recurring drug problems; not that they didn't have their own, but Izzy would usually take the most harsh substances and wind up messed up, which was bad for him and the band.
Duff and I weren't very concerned, though, because, well, for one, he had been too angry to care about his best friend’s drug problem, and he was still angry at his younger sister.
As for myself, I was in love with the girl the guy had broken up with, so I didn’t have a reason to care.
I sighed as I got out of bed and decided it was a good time to call Maddy and see what was going on with her. I grabbed my phone book and began searching through names and numbers to find Maddy's in order to get ahold of her before a drunken Izzy called her and professed his love over the phone only to wake up the next morning and never call her again.
After losing hope, I couldn't think of elsewhere to go until I came across for familiar name of her mother which was Alice.
It was definitely her mother, it had her home address on it.
I quickly grabbed a pen and scribbled down the phone number to the home address, and then hiding it somewhere Izzy couldn't get to, if he came over, and punched in the numbers, carefully punching in the numbers, picking up the device attached to the long spiral cord.
Brrrr
Brrrr
Br-
“Hello? Alice speaking.”
“Mrs. Mckagan, It’s Axl.”
“Oh, what a surprise! How are you doing honey?” her mother cheerfully asked.
“I’m good.” I chuckled.
“I was wondering if I could speak with Maddy by any chance?”
I wondered if she had told her mother what occurred that night.
"Oh, sure…..but, make sure Izzy isn’t around. I don't want him around her after seeing how upset she was the night I picked her up after their fight that night. She wouldn't even speak to me." she sighed, adjusting the phone cable to conceal the sound and signaling for Maddy to come down to answer the phone call.
“Hello?”
“Maddy….Its Axl.”
“I’m aware.”
“I wanted to ask how your doing and all y’know after tha-
“Good.” she interrupted, rather irritated that the touchy subject was brought up.
“Look, I was wondering if you would come visit me in L.A.?”
“Are you crazy!”
"My brother has basically blacklisted me from there, and I don't think I want to be around Izzy," she explained, her face sour at the mention of her now ex-boyfriend.
“Who gives a shit. You’re old enough to make your own goddamn decision.”
“And y’know, I was hopping maybe we could talk?” I added.
“Talk?”
“Yes.”
“Hm….so, what about?”
“Us.”
“There is no us Axl.” she huffed.
“Why do you just shut me off everytime the topic of us comes around?”
"I appreciate how much you care about me Axl but I think I need a break to think about everything before I decide to get into another relationship." she sighed.
I love you.
“But y’know how I feel about yo-
“I love you.”
The silence on the other line made me regret what I had said, but then she responded quickly with...
“I love you too.”
(short & sweet chapter …this series will end at 30 chapters so this is mostly a filler ! :))))
Conflicted Pt:16🎀
Izzy P.O.V
Things were great between Axl and I. We had been talking again like old times and I had been staying with him,since Duff wouldn’t answer my calls.
I tried to call Maddy as well but I got no answer and it went to voicemail everytime.
Axl told me to give her some space and that she would come around but she never ignored me this much and I was started to feel uneasy about our relationship going forward.
“I think I’m going to go over there.” I told Axl, feeling confident enough to show my face to Maddy in an effort to save our relationship.
“Are you sure?”
“I don’t know how she’ll feel about seeing your face right now especially Duff. Y’know how overprotective he is when it comes to Maddy.” Axl snorted remembering the time that Duff almost knocked him out for misinterpreting the day he took Maddy out for a hookup.
“It doesn’t matter what Duff thinks. Maddy can think for herself, screw him for not answering my calls.” I spit, getting up from the couch to grab my jacket and keys.
“Just be careful of what you say to her. She’s probably overly sensitive right now.” Axl told me before I left out the door and to Duff’s place.
I knocked on the door for what felt like forever when the door suddenly opened to a stern faced Duff.
“Iz you need to leave now.” he spat not giving me a chance to reply as he started to shut the door on me, which I stopped with my foot.
“Duff please let me explain. I really love your sister and I fucked up but I can’t fucking live without her.” I begged, which was weird since I never thought I would have to beg Duff for anything.
“I knew you would pull some shit like this. I even warned her.” he lashed out,pointing an accusatory finger at my face.
“It’s not my fault! Axl was the one who tried seducing her and I found them both together at the Troubadour.” I spewed not thinking twice about the consequences it would have on Axl.
All I was thinking about was saving myself and looking good in front of him to get through to Maddy.
“What do you mean Axl and Maddy were together?” he asked this time directing his anger towards Axl instead of me.
“I saw them both, they were like leaning into each other or some shit.” I muttered, all of a sudden remembering why I was mad at Maddy at the first place.
“Y’know what, I shouldn’t have come. I’m sorry for bothering you.” I sighed feeling that aching pain I felt when I caught Axl and Maddy together that day.
“Wait. I know she would want to see you, after all she was crying for you last night anyways.” Duff sighed putting his hand on my shoulder to give it a tight squeeze.
“And I know you didn’t mean to hurt her. I guess sometimes I forget that we are rockstars and having a relationship can be pretty tough a lot of the times.” he added,letting out a deep breath as he suddenly remembered about Axl.
“So wants the deal with Ax. Does he have feelings for her?”
“Yeah. But don’t tell him I said anything. He gave me shit for how I treated Maddy last night and seemed genuinely hurt that she was upset. I wouldn’t take him as a threat.” I told Duff to let him know not to attack Axl just because of some things I might have let slip out.
“Yeah I guess you’re right. The poor guy hasn’t been very lucky with Erin recently either so I guess he’s just trying to find his place again.”
“Well anyways. Maddy’s in her room. I’ll give you both some privacy.” he said as he walked off to his room closing the door shut.
I suddenly felt these weird butterflies in my stomach.
Something I hadn’t felt since middle school.
Usually I never had butterflies because all I did were one night stands,hookups or quick blowjobs after our shows with endless groupies lined up to our pleasure.
It never once occurred to me that I would be nervous for a girl, ever in my life until now.
That feeling was for Maddy.
I twisted the knob slowly and opened the door finding her chest moving up and down softly, she wasn’t snoring but she was asleep for sure.
As I came closer I saw her sprawled across her bed, her comforter bunched up around her feet and her pink babydoll nightdress was bunched around her waist while she cuddled a stuffed bunny.
I came and sat next to her on the bed stroking her hair softly,away from her face as I watched her small body moving up and down with every breath she took, stirring a bit in her sleep when she felt my hand.
She reached up to grab it to which I assumed she thought was Duff because when she opened her eyes and saw me she immediately sat up almost banging her head on her bed frame.
“What are you doing in my bed?” she softly whispered, tugging her nightdress down from her waist to cover herself.
“I’m sorry.”
She looked up at me when I said that and I caught her eyes sparkling as her fairy lights shined down in the room, dimly lighting our figures amongst the darkness of the night.
I could see how puffy her eyes were and it hurt me to know that I was the cause of that.
I reached out to stoke her cheek but she swiftly moved away rejecting my touch.
“When I saw you and Axl together, I saw the way you both looked at each other. You lost your virginity to him so it makes sense that you feel different with him than me.”
“He really cares about you for some odd reason. I guess ever since you slept with him he’s had this soft spot for you in his heart.”
She was silently listening, not replying but instead analyzing everything I said, in her head, by herself.
“And I kissed that girl to make you jealous, when I came back to the dressing room Axl almost killed me because he said that you left crying.”
I saw her twitch when I mentioned Axl and how he almost tried to kill me.
“Which made me realize he might love you and that scares me because you’re supposed to be mine and the thought of him taking you away from me is something I’m not ready to accept.”
She still wasn’t saying anything which was getting on my nerves since I came here and tried to explain to her why I made a mistake.
“Are you just gonna sit there and not say anything Maddy?” I spat getting uncomfortable with the silence she had going on.
“I accept your apology Izzy. But I don’t want to get back together with you.” she croaked turning around to lie down, nestled, with her stuffed bunny.
I could hear her silent sniffles and didn’t want to bother her anymore, so I didn’t have to hear her crying.
Not because it was annoying, but because hearing her cry was the worst, knowing I caused it.
It made me feel bad for her.
“Maddy come on. I don’t want you to cry anymore. I love you, y’know that right?” I whispered laying down to pull her close to my body, putting an arm around her waist.
She didn’t move away from my touch but kept her head down in the stuffed bunny she was cuddling.
Her sniffles eventually slowed as she stopped crying and fell asleep with calm breaths.
I moved her hair out of her face and wiped off the tears that stained it, giving her soft plushy cheek some kisses before taking off my jacket and tucking us both into her blanket.
A rockstar couldn’t possibly fall in love, unless the right girl came along.
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.
hey guys i’m starting a new series about 80’s rockstar izzy stradlin & axl rose…hope u guys like it :))<33
original characters : maddy mckagan
i do not own any other characters!!!
summary 🎀 : Maddy Mckagan, a young woman, has an older brother named Duff, who is a member of the rock band Guns N' Roses. When Maddy is finally old enough to visit her brother in Los Angeles and discover the Sunset Strip, she develops feelings for Izzy Stradlin, one of Duff's best friends and band mates who is considered off-limits, but what happens when the lead singer, Axl Rose, falls for Maddy as well, causing her to become embroiled in a tug of war between the two rockstars?
Maddy P.O.V
"PLEASE!" I yelled tugging at my mother's cashmere scarf and pleading with her to let me go with my older brother Duff to L.A.
"Absolutely not young lady. There is no place for a young lady as yourself in a place like the Sunset Strip." she scoffed making a disgusted expression.
"Are you aware of what goes down on that god forsaken street full of egos driven by the devil." she sang going on and on about how dangerous they were and how the band KISS was all but a satanic cult.
"You're letting Duff go!" I whined on the brink of tears.
"That's because he is a grown man who is more than capable of taking care of himself rather than a 16 year old child as yourself."
"But mom-
"End of discussion Maddy. Enough!" my mother shouted slamming her hands on the island counter before trudging herself back into her room.
"URGHHH." I screamed running back up to my room and slamming the door shut.
I hate this.
I cannot believe my mother let Duff go by road to discover L.A and I have to be stuck in boring old Seattle.
1 year later (summer)
Don't ask me how I did it.
I single handedly convinced my mother to let me spend the summer in L.A with Duff since I was turning 17 soon.
Well not really single handedly because I might have made a few calls to Duff.
And a few days later I was staying with my brother in his lavishly renovated apartment he bought with his newfound fame as Duff Mckagan of Guns N' Roses.
"Duffy. This apartment is so rad. Mom would freak if she ever saw this." I exclaimed looking around the place which was covered in Duff's records from his band.
"Yeah I know." my brother grinned looking around at the larger than life living room.
"So when are your friends coming back to hang?" I asked suddenly more curious about the group of young men whom my brother considered band mates as well as best friends.
"Not sure."
"Izzy might come here to crash while he gets sorted out about his own place." he said while smoking a joint and washing it down with a Jack Daniel's.
"Mom would literally kill you if she ever saw what you and your friends do together." I sighed staring at my brothers hands which were occupied with my mothers worst enemy.
"Don't tell me what to do Maddy. You're like a child telling a grown adult what to do.”
“I'm four years older than you.. don't forget that."
"And don't act like such a prude when my friends are around. It fucking kills the mood."
"I love you but loosen up a bit." he smiled giving me a kiss on the forehead before retreating back to his room for the night.
I scoffed.
I was the complete opposite of my brother. Whereas he was the extrovert outgoing one.
And I was the quiet and reserved one.
But not on purpose. I just didn’t know how to make friends as easily as Duff did.
He always had the girls going crazy and he never had a problem fitting in with the cool crowd.
"Maddy can you get the door please. For gods sake." my brother yelled snapping me out of my thoughts.
"ALRIGHT." I yelled making a dash for the door not even bothering to think twice before opening it.
"Oh hey. Is your brother around?" Izzy asked.
Izzy
Izzy was one of my brothers band mates and also one of my biggest fucking crushes ever since I had met Guns N' Roses.
He had a natural charisma about him that made me very attracted to him.
"Duff. Izzy's here to see you." I said to my brother who was busy getting crossfaded in his room.
"Coming!" he slurred.
"You can come in." I smiled nervously.
"Nah it's okay. I can't stay for too long." he told me, briefly scanning over my half exposed pajama set.
“Oh s-sorry. I didn’t know Duff would have company.” I apologized pulling my shirt down to cover my wedgie in the front and back….
"I don't mind." he smirked taking another sneaky glance before nodding at Duff who finally arrived stumbling out of the room.
"Maddy you're barely wearing any clothes. Get inside." he grunted shoving me towards my room.
I happily obliged unable to face Izzy any longer with my attire or with my face which was definitely as red as a tomato by now.
I closed the door behind me and couldn't wipe the big dumb grin off my face.
Izzy was going to be the best part of this whole trip. I just knew it.
Conflicted Chapter 20🎀:
Maddy P.O.V :
I stormed out of the bathroom, heading directly for Axl.
He told everyone in the band, which was different than telling his girlfriend something so personal about me.
And Izzy’s ex…that was where I drew the line.
“Axl!" I yelled, watching him pause in the middle of a conversation with their manager and turn his attention to me, lifting an eyebrow at my grumpy attitude.
“You told your girlfriend that you’re in love with me?!?”
"What are you saying Maddy? And keep it down," he clinched his teeth as he led me into a secluded area away from the crowd.
“Angela told me that Erin knows that you're in love with me," supposedly." I scoffed, angered by his casual demeanor, knowing he was the one propagating our private secrets out to the general public.
"I never told Erin anything, Maddy. I swear. I'm not sure why she would say that," he murmured to himself, standing there with his hands on his hips, wondering what he had done to make Erin feel that way.
I stormed away, unaware that Erin was watching us, perplexed, given the fact that they claimed the two were good friends, but based on their recent chat, it seemed as though the two were a couple fighting only adding to her theory.
Which was that her boyfriend was in love with the bassist’s sister.
“Maddy where have you been." Duff asked, already on his fourth drink of the night, banging down on the bar counter for more.
“I've been gone. Not that you would care." I spat, irritated by his intoxicated conduct and the fact that he couldn't even hold a conversation with me, let alone Steven and Slash, and then there was Izzy, wait, there wasn't.
Where was Izzy?
"Hey have any of you seen Izzy?" I inquired with the three boys, who were completely wasted.
"I-z-zzz-y?..why are you t-two goin-g to fuck-k again?" Slash mumbled, smirking wildly at his choice of words,Duff barely noticed until he realized what he had said about his sister and Izzy.
“Shut the fuck up Slash!” the bassist shouted, immediately sobering up.
"Sweetie. Izzy is just over there." Steven pointed to a small area of the pub at a booth where Izzy was sitting with none other than Angela?
The way she giggled and slapped his chest made it seem like the two were having a funny conversation , and he smiled the entire time, not realizing how clear it was that she was flirting with him.
Angela instantly noticed me staring, which prompted Izzy to shift his head, but Angela caught it and kissed him forcefully, prompting him to back off and jump out of the seat.
"Maddy," he murmured to himself, noticing me observing the two and assuming the worst of what I saw.
He instantly raced over to me and explained what had happened, and I nodded, knowing he had done nothing wrong because I was actually standing there seeing Angela be a slut.
"Why does she like you so much? Why doesn't she go see Axl or Slash?" I wondered why she was constantly drawn to Izzy.
"She's been in love with me for a long time and I didn't feel the same way, so we became fuck buddies, but I got bored of her quickly, so I called it out, and she became heartbroken," he explained casually, as if it wasn't his first time leaving a female unhappy as a musician
"Oh." I responded instantly, feeling awful for the girl because I could easily be in the same situation.
It's possible that I'm already there without realizing it.
“I know what your thinking and no just drop it." He sighed, having dealt with enough, and approached his three wasted pals to participate in the fun.
I saw Axl emerge from the scene, an empty arm that no longer served Erin Everly, and he excitedly walked to his bandmates with a sneer on his face.
I had no choice but to join the guys because I had no other friends at all in the big city and I only knew them.
“The brat has joined us.” Axl scoffed, nonchalantly sipping a cool beer in direct contradiction to his drunken bandmates, notably Izzy.
He fell over the counter, almost dropping to the floor, when I caught him and moved him to rest his head on the counter.
“You'll be taking care of him like that for the rest of your life if you keep this relationship going," he whispered, taking little sips from his drink.
“What makes you say that?”
“He’s an addict and he’ll ruin your life too with his drugs.”
"Izzy's not an addict and I can take care of him perfectly fine." I naively defended, smoothing Izzy's hair away from his sweaty face.
“Yeah right.” he scoffed slipping off his stool to found someone to dance with.
"Izzy. Wake up, let's go home." I said to him, feeling his cheeks warm up to my touch and slumped over body.
"N-no just go without m-me." He murmured, fumbling over words and pushed me away with a rough hand.
“Baby, you don’t look so good. I think it’s better if I take you home.”
“Stop touching me!" he yelled, pushing me, causing me to trip on the liquid drink previously spilled on the floor and fall on the hard ground of the bar.
I shrieked, a crushing discomfort running through me and tears forming in my eyes, unable to hide the pain, looking up at Izzy to extend a hand, but he was so high on his drug of choice for the night that he didn't care.
"Maddy! "Are you ok?" I heard Axl call out to me, rushing up to pick me up.
“What happened!" Duff shouted and hurried over to me after seeing Axl kneeling down on the floor.
"I'm fine." I said, tears streaming down my cheeks, as I returned my gaze to Izzy, who was firmly placed on the counter, unconcerned about how he had treated me.
"That bastard. I'll fucking kill you for hurting my baby sister," he roared, grabbing Izzy's shirt and dragging him up to confront his towering frame.
“If you kill me, you'll hurt your sister even more," he replied, grinning at me.
“Fuck you motherfucker.” the bassist growled punching his band mate and knocking him down on his drunken state.
“Duff!” I squealed as I crouched down next to Izzy and his newly slit brow, which was streaming with blood.
"Leave him alone, Maddy. Let's go. Axl said this as he dragged me away from Izzy and picked me up in his arms.
"You just want to fuck her." Izzy mumbled under his breath, amused at Axl's concern for the girl he allegedly dislikes.
The Indiana native may not have heard because he did not intervene, but if he had realized his long-time friend was making such a statement about the sweet girl, he would have knocked him out for good.
“That is it! I've seen enough today. You are not to see Izzy again, and I forbid you from going out with him or any other fucking musician from now on!" Duff yelled, and I could only nod, unable to find the correct words to explain what Izzy had just done.
We all got into Duff's car, Axl and I in the back, as Duff drove us to Axl's apartment.
I felt Axl interlace his fingers with mine, holding my hand in his while I slipped into sleep on his shoulder.
What I didn’t realize was that when I would wake up the next morning, Duff would have my things packed and a flight back to Seattle set out for me.
Conflicted : Pt 10🎀
Maddy P.O.V
I didn’t recognize the man in front of me at first but as I adjusted my vision a curly haired man came into view.
“You slept with Axl.” he giggled like a school girl who had just heard her best friends biggest secret.
“Yeah I know.” I sighed afraid of what Izzy was gonna do to Axl.
“Slash I’m scared for Axl. I think Izzy is going to kill him.”
“Nah don’t worry about it. They’ll be fine.” he mumbled struggling to stand upright and tipping backwards onto the hard marble floor.
Great. He’s drunk.
“Urghhh.” I groaned slapping my hand against my forehead at the thought of having to break up Izzy and Axl’s fight.
It wasn’t Axl’s fault at all. It was mine for making such a careless mistake and Axl shouldn’t be punished for it.
I made my way up the stairs slowly, cringing at every step expecting the two of them to come flying out and throwing punches.
But instead I heard them yelling at each other to no end.
“Bro relax. It’s not like she didn’t want it!” I heard Axl argue.
I rounded the corner of the hallway and found the open door to Axl’s room and made my way inside, silencing both of them.
“Maddy tell him you wanted it as much as I did.” Axl said rolling his eyes at Izzy.
“Is this true?” Izzy asked looking over at me with those beautiful eyes of his.
What did I get myself into!
“Y-yes Izzy I did.”
“How could you?”
“How could I? You told me you didn’t love me multiple times and made it clear you didn’t feel anything towards me!” I shouted.
“I didn’t mean to sleep with Axl but it just happened.”
“You slept with him of all people.” Izzy huffed putting his hands on his hips.
“Well I hope you both have a nice life and become boyfriend or girlfriend whatever.” he spat exiting the room leaving both of us without a goodbye.
I followed after him, attempting to stop him but Izzy was too quick and while I tried to grab out to him I ended up tripping over myself and fell.
“Ow.” I muttered holding my foot while on the ground.
Izzy quickly turned around upon hearing my fall and I saw his face soften seeing me hurt but then he rolled his eyes at me.
“Y’know I didn’t really take you for a groupie. But since you slept with Axl, who knows, you’ll probably sleep with him next.” he said pointing to Slash.
“I said I’m sorry! I didn’t even want to sleep with him but I was upset after we had that fight. I even thought of you while he was fucking me.” I told Izzy hoping he’d understand and come around.
But he didn’t.
“You still did it Maddy. It doesn’t matter if you thought about me or not. I thought you were special but you just turned out to be one of those girls who got close to me just for Axl.”
“I am not!” I shouted, having heard enough and pushing past him to get a taxi and go home.
“Maddy you can’t call a taxi at a private property. I’m going to drop you or else Duff will be worried sick.”
“Don’t do me any favors. I don’t want to be in any car with you.” I spat crossing my arms.
“I don’t have a choice. And I’m only doing it for Duff.” he said opening the car and hopping in the front seat.
“Come on. I don’t have all day.”
“Wait what about Slash!” I asked while buckling myself into the passenger seat, wondering if he had woken up by now or not.
“Forget about him.” he aggressively replied slamming on the accelerator and speeding down the road.
“Izzy slow down.”
“Y’know I thought I loved you Maddy. I really did but you just turned out to be like all the other girls.”
“I’m not like other girls and you know that too.” I insisted getting upset over his continuous insults.
“I’m gonna call Angela tonight and sleep with her. How would you feel about that.” he said pushing it in my face.
“I wouldn’t mind.” I mumbled, obviously lying straight through my teeth.
“Okay fine. Then I will!” he yelled pulling into the parking garage for Duff’s apartment.
I saw Duff standing at the elevator waiting for us with his arms crossed against his chest.
He was pissed.
“Wait Izzy. Duff can’t see me like this. Can I borrow your jacket please.” I begged grabbing at his arm.
“Whatever. I’m just doing this so he doesn’t think it was me who you slept with because that would be worse.” he spat shoving his jacket off himself and throwing it towards me.
I quickly put his jacket on and headed towards Duff trying to put a normal face on.
“Duff I’m okay.” I said attempting to calm him down.
“Maddy do you have any idea what went through my head when I woke up and saw you weren’t in your room!” he yelled making me cringe.
“It’s okay man. I found her at Axl-
“Axl’s?!?!?”
“What the hell were you doing over there?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowed with anger.
“I-I was just staying the night there because I was angry at you. I promise I didn’t do anything else.” I shrugged.
He seemed to believe me but I wasn’t entirely sure if he was acting to make this whole thing go by faster or if he was just relieved to see me.
“I just worry about you, y’know. You’re my responsibility and if anything were to happen to you I wouldn’t forgive myself and mom would kill me.” he sighed pushing me into his chest.
I wrapped my arms around my brother and leaned in his hug, feeling very safe all of a sudden and like nothing was gonna hurt me anymore.
A few tears fell down my cheeks but I quickly wiped them away not wanting Duff to see.
“By the way why are you wearing Izzy’s jacket?” Duff asked looking at the both of us.
“She was-
“Cold!” I interrupted pretending to shiver to sell it.
“Yeah okay whatever.”
We walked back to the apartment and I immediately ran to my room jumping on my bed.
I was so happy to be back here and on good terms with my brother.
I guess he forgot about the whole Izzy thing.
“Maddy! We still need to talk y’know about the whole Izzy thing.” he shouted against my closed door.
I rolled my eyes and threw Izzy’s jacket off of me as well as my other clothes escaping to the shower.
“Can’t right now, about to shower Duff. Maybe later.” I yelled shutting my bathroom door.
I wish I could hide in here forever.
Duff P.O.V
“Okay spill it. I know you know what she was doing at Axl’s house.” Duff asked crossing his arms against his chest.
“She was telling the truth man.”
No she wasn’t.
“So are you two like a thing now or what?”’he asked changing the topic.
“I don’t know. I guess.” I shrugged flopping down on the couch, letting out a long sigh.
“What do you mean. Either you do or don’t. There’s no in between with my sis Izzy.”
“Yeah I know.” I replied rolling my eyes at his persistence.
“I really care about Maddy okay. I want to be with her if she wants the same.”
“Okay well then if you’re going to date my little sis you have to treat her with the respect those other girls you mess with deserve.”
“You’re not gonna treat Maddy like some hooker because she’s not. I know the type of girl she is and I’m telling you right now she’s too good for you.” he added mildly annoyed that this was even a conversation he had to have.
“Duff I promise I’ll take care of Maddy very good. She’s not just any girl. I know that too.” I told him, letting him know that I knew Maddy was special and she wasn’t about to get treated like some cheap whore.
“As for other stuff just lay off because she’s sort of a late bloomer if you know what I mean.” he cringed clearing his throat.
Oh I know.
“Yeah yeah okay.” I agreed knowing damn well I was going to do whatever I pleased with Maddy now that I found out she had sex with Axl.
If she wanted to have sex with him then she was going to learn the hard way that she shouldn’t have done it.
As much as I still wanted to get her alone to fuck the shit out of her, she’d have to wait awhile before I even touched her again. Because I couldn’t get the image of Axl and her out of my head just yet.
“Izzy!” Duff shouted catching my attention.
“What.”
“Promise you won’t break her heart . She’s very fragile when it comes to love and that type of shit.”
“I promise.” I told him, very unsure myself if I was going to keep my word.
Conflicted Pt: 14 🎀
Izzy P.O.V
Our band received the best selling album label by the time our tour had ended, but our manager scheduled us to perform a gig at the Troubadour for old times sake.
We agreed to it, of course, it was nostalgic for us too, to see how far we had come since the last time we were at the Troubadour.
I was also excited for Maddy to come and see us perform since she’d never seen me play live.
“Izzy do you think your groupies will show up tonight.” she scoffed looking through her pile of clothes, scattered everywhere in the closet.
“Can’t say they won’t but I don’t care about them when I have you.” I cooed pulling her in from behind, so her body was pressed against mine.
She looked into the standing mirror that was in her closet and sighed.
“I wish you would hug me like this in front of them to show them your mine.”
“Baby-
“I know I know, it would ruin your playboy imagine.” she muttered pulling away to bend down at the black dress that was peeking out of the pile.
“You are not wearing that.” I laughed grabbing the flimsy material and throwing it at the top of her shelf.
“I am! If you don’t want us to be seen together then I don’t have to dress like I’m in a relationship.” Maddy retorted fisting her hands at her sides and stomping her foot down.
“I’m not letting you around the guys with this dress.” I told her imagining what would happen if she wore the tiny fabric.
I know Axl would love it.
“You’re not the boss of me.” she said attempting to grab at the shelf with her 5’6 frame.
“If you can grab it. You can wear it…I guess.” I replied rolling my eyes at her persistence to wear the tiny piece of clothing.
Did she have any idea what Axl would do if he saw her in the dress?
All of his self control would go out the door and into Maddy’s panties.
We all arrived an hour late to the gig since Duff got into an argument with Maddy over the tiny black dress and threatened her to change but Maddy didn’t budge so they went at it for another 20 minutes.
I intervened and told Maddy to just wear my jean jacket over it to which Duff agreed and said was a great solution.
“Maddy I better not see you without that jacket at the venue. I’m just trying to protect you from the guys y’know.” Duff sighed, looking at his younger sister who was currently ignoring him at the moment.
“It’s okay man. I’ll look at her.” I said giving Duff a reassuring nod before we all hopped into his car and made our way to the venue.
Slash,Axl and Steven all came together since they lived closer than Duff.
And obviously I didn’t have a place at the moment so I technically lived with Duff.
“I’m so excited to play this gig!” Steven exclaimed twisting his drumsticks in between his fingers and kicking his feet at the table which was provided in the backstage room.
“Same.” Slash replied chugging down the bottle of Jack Daniel while taking a few drags of his cigarette.
I couldn’t tell where he was looking since his shades were completely covering his eyes and his hat hid most of his upper forehead, hiding any expressions.
But I could see him smiling and giggling to Axl about something, and Axl was looking directly towards Maddy.
“Is something the matter guys?” I asked, my tone visibly bitter as I give Axl a stern look.
Axl then turned towards me with the opposite expression of which he displayed just a few seconds ago and raised his eyebrows a bit.
“Why?” he rudely asked smoking his cigarette and blowing the smoke in my face.
“Fuck off with that shit.” I told him, mostly annoyed by the smoke in my face but also wanting him to back off from Maddy who was completely clueless in what was going on.
“You’re not her daddy Izzy. She can do as she pleases.” Axl smirked getting up from the couch to give some stray groupies autographs.
Maddy sat at the floor since we all took up the couch, I had insisted for her to sit on my lap but she said she was more comfortable on the floor at my knees, I didn’t mind since I got to play with her hair while we did interviews.
Which was a big stress reliever.
I loved having her around during press interviews since I hated fucking speaking to them because all they wanted to know was bullshit personal questions instead of the real discussion, which was music.
“Iz. I have to pee.” Maddy whispered getting up slowly so her dress didn’t ride up.
I was still kind of mad at her for wearing the dress but when she stood up the dress straightened out enough for the jean jacket to cover her ass.
“Will you be okay alone baby?” I asked, since she hadn’t been to the Troubadour before, I wanted to make sure she was comfortable because there were always creeps at some of our shows who preyed on the girls that would come.
She softly declined and gave me a peck on the cheek as I snuck in a quick ass grab when she was bended over to which Duff gave me a sour look.
“Sorry man. Your sis is hot.” I shrugged lighting up a cigarette.
“Gross dude! Just do that shit when I’m not around.” Duff frowned.
“BOYS! WE ARE ON IN 10 MINUTES!” our manager yelled repeatedly slapping his wrist with his pointer finger.
“Can you yell any louder.” Slash mumbled slumping down into the couch with his bottle of Jack Daniel’s which was now empty.
“You didn’t save any for me. Fuck you man!” I whined grabbing the empty bottle and throwing it at the floor.
Slash and Steven burst out laughing while our manager came to calm their drunk asses down.
Maddy P.O.V
I swerved through the crowd of people who were starting to gather in clusters backstage.
And weaved my way out, desperately trying to locate the women’s room when I ran into Axl with his arm around some random girl.
“Maddy?” he called out,looking at me rather confused.
“I- I’m looking for the bathroom. Have you seen it?” I asked looking both at him and the girl.
“Yeah. I’ll show you.” he replied shrugging off the girl and walking me towards the restrooms.
“Who was that?” I asked looking at him with curious eyes.
I always heard stories about the groupies and how they played with different bands but it was pretty surreal to see it happen in real life.
“Just some girl who likes our music.” he smirked stopping right besides the door to the women’s room.
He walked me into the back of the wall and put his arm up to lean in front of my body.
“I’d like this dress much better without Izzy’s jacket.” he whispered tugging the jean jacket off one shoulder, leaving my right collarbone exposed.
I was wearing an off the shoulder black dress that stopped right below my ass.
It wasn’t something I would ever wear but I found it when I was cleaning and I figured it was left behind by some groupie so I washed it and wore it to look grown up since all the dresses I brought from home were frilly and floral.
And the girls here dressed so different so when I saw the dress it immediately screamed L.A.
“What if I took it off.” he said, not giving me a chance to think, swiftly pulling the jacket off and onto the floor exposing my figure.
“You look so good. Better than all of the girls here.” he gently murmured placing his pointer finger under my chin to direct my gaze on his eyes instead of his feet.
“Stop it Axl. I’m with Izzy.” I mumbled breathing with how close he was to me.
It was almost uncomfortable knowing he could see all of me, since my jacket wasn’t covering me anymore.
He reached for my thigh and started tracing small circles on it, inching closer towards the end of my dress, tugging it up lightly until he exposed half of my panties which were black to match my dress.
“W-wait stop. I can’t I love-
“Izzy. Yeah I get it.” he huffed letting go of me.
“Maddy?”
“Izzy?” I squinted wondering if it was really him or if I was hallucinating.
“I go to look for you to make sure you’re safe and I find you with him.And my jacket is around your feet?” he hissed grabbing his jacket with such force I almost stumbled on my heels.
“It’s not what it looks like I swear. H-he was just helping me found the restroom Iz!” I cried pushing Axl out of the way and following Izzy like a lost puppy.
“I can’t do this right now. Not when I’m about to preform with him.” he spat walking away from me briskly.
I looked back at Axl who was quiet, almost like he was still processing the situation.
“We can’t be together-
“Why. Why not?” he asked walking up to me with wide eyes.
“I-I can’t answer that.”
Conflicted: Chapter 18🎀
Maddy P.O.V:
“I don’t think I can. I’ll be leaving for Seattle soon.”
“Wait what? You didn’t tell me.” he wondered, holding the phone tight to his ear.
“Yeah. I kind of decided last minute.”
“But why?”
“Because of Izzy but mainly the fact that I miss home.”
“Are you sure I didn’t have something to do with it. I can’t help but feel like I did.”
“I’m just overwhelmed between this whole situation with you and Izzy.” I sighed, leaning my back against the wall.
“I didn’t mean to upset you but I felt like you should know about my feelings too.” he insisted.
“Axl, what about Izzy?”
“What about him? Isn’t he the same guy who cheated on you.” he snickered, rolling his eyes at the mention of the guy whom he felt used to be his best friend at one point.
“I’m not going to hurt him for you.”
“You already did.” he mentioned, thinking about the time we had slept together.
“I’m never doing that again.” I spat, slamming the phone down.
I sighed running my hands through my hair and went back to my room to find some clothes to wear.
It felt as if my suitcase grew a pair of eyes and burned its gaze right through me, upon entering my closet.
The bag was already open and a few clothes had been placed inside just incase, on an impulse decision I decided that I wanted to start packing.
My closet was a mess ever since I got here since I never had time to clean it because I was also busy with the guys and Duff.
I grabbed the jacket Izzy had left behind, the day he slept over and smelled his cologne, as I folded it up to put in a bag for him.
I still missed him despite the fact that we had a huge argument.
I did not feel the same way after speaking with Axl. It never gave me the butterflies in my tummy that Izzy would give me when he looked at me with those eyes of his.
“MADDY GET UP. WE’RE GONNA BE LATE.” I heard Duff scream, as I bolted upright in my bed, wondering what the hell was going on.
“You didn’t remember?!?”
“Remember what?” I croaked, rubbing my eyes from the light pouring in from the kitchen, as he held my bedroom door wide open.
“There’s a party at Slash’s. Everyone is invited. So hurry up and change.” he insisted, leaving my door open to grab some last minute items to stuff in his jean pocket.
Like condoms, cigarettes and the keys to his mustang.
I groaned getting up groggily and rushed to the bathroom to quickly freshen up, putting on a natural look with pink lipgloss before heading to my closet to pick out a dress.
Usually in Seattle I would just wear a sundress and call it a day but over here that wouldn’t go right.
Everyone here dressed like they were in Hollywood and so I settled on a slim fitting, silky baby pink dress with spaghetti straps.
And paired it with a silver necklace and matching diamond earrings that Duff had bought for me and my mom.
I grabbed Izzy’s jacket and wore it over my dress and grabbed the white strappy heels to complete my outfit.
“I’m not even gonna argue because you actually look pretty in that.” Duff said giving me a kiss on the forehead, and pushing me out the door.
“Is everyone going to be there.” I asked, indirectly wondering if Izzy was showing up, since he didn’t really enjoy parties as much as I thought.
“Yes Maddy. Izzy will be there too.” he grinned, raising his eyebrows at me.
I rolled my eyes laughing as we hopped into his car and headed to Slash’s new home in Laurel Canyon.
Izzy P.O.V
I sat smoking my cigarette endlessly, with a bottle of Jack as I put a hand through my hair wondering when the fuck this party was going to be over.
The only reason I came here was to congratulate Slash on his new house and the first thing I was met with was a bitchy Axl.
He was giving me strange remarks and looking at me weird even though he was fine a couple of days again.
I didn’t have any energy to entertain his behavior so I placed myself in a quiet area away from all the loud noise, girls and hard drugs.
Even the girls here were getting on my nerves.
They were so sleazy that it was a turn off but I guess that’s how Slash liked his women.
Everyone started cheering as I saw someone’s figure walk-in and bright blonde hair belonging to none other than Duff.
“Finally someone normal.” I huffed looking over where Steven was passed out with a bottle of tequila in his hand.
“Duff. Over here!” I shouted, ushering him over to me with my hand.
“Hey man. Sorry I took so long, Maddy was taking forever to get ready.” he complained rolling his eyes as he grabbed the Jack to take a big swig.
“She came?”
“Yeah. She’s right there.” he pointed, to a shy Maddy who was quietly standing by the counter where they were serving drinks, looking around to find someone familiar.
She looked so beautiful.
She had on this little pink, tight fitting dress, which was covered by my jacket and her pouty lips were covered in sparkly lipgloss, making me want to go over there and kiss her until it smeared all over her face.
“I can see you getting hard over my sister.” he repulsed, looking over to where I was staring at Maddy.
I laughed.
“Just go talk to her please. You guys are dying to make out with each other I can tell.” he remarked grabbing some shots from a passing tray and heading over to the herd of models that were perched on Slash’s lap.
“Hey Maddy.”
“Hi.” she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper.
“You look really pretty…I see you wore my jacket.” I smirked, placing my hand on her waist to pull her into me.
Her lips pursed and sparkling eyes glowed as she turned to face me, making me speechless as I stared at her beautiful face.
“You wanna go up to Slash’s room?” I asked, caressing her cheek with my hand.
"O-Okay," she said, allowing me to take her hand in mine as I led us both up the stairs, the noisy talk of everyone in the party becoming quieter and quieter until we found ourselves alone in Slash's room.
I removed my jacket from her, locking the door behind us and pressed her against it as I assaulted her neck with wet kisses, groping all parts of her body, enjoying how she reacted to each touch.
“M’sorry that I was mean to you even after you apologized.” She whispered to me, her eyes huge and brows raised, as she pouted her lips.
"I promise to never hurt you again." I whispered, kissing her all over her face and chubby cheeks as she giggled.
“You look so sexy in this dress but I would love to see how you look without it.”
“I want that too.” she coyly smirked.
I took her and laid her on the bed, sliding her dress straps down to display her breasts, alternating between sucking them sloppily and tenderly massaging them with my thumb flicking up and down her nipples.
“I love it when you kiss my breasts.” she whimpered running her hand through my hair, softly tugging at the ends.
I moved down her body, dragging the rest of her dress along and dumping it on the ground, grabbing one of her legs to perch on my shoulder as I spit on her pussy, pressing it in to make her wetter, inserting my finger in and instantly feeling her clench around it.
“Mmphh.” she moaned pushing herself forward to sink my finger in her pretty pink pussy to the hilt.
“Your so dirty y’know that. Letting your brother’s best friend touch you like this.” I grunted grinding into the bed, feeling turned on by her little whimpers and moans.
“I like being your dirty girl Izzy.” she moaned grabbing her breasts with her hands to push them together for me.
“Fuck.” I groaned taking off my shirt and pants throwing them somewhere across the room and getting completely naked along with her.
“I’m gonna fuck you so hard and you’re gonna sit there like a good girl and take it. M’kay?” I cooed, gripping the back of her hair and tilting her head back, asking her to open up so I could spit in her mouth.
She stared up at me through her lashes, extending her tongue out as I dropped a glob of spit directly onto her tongue, watching her swirl it in her mouth before swallowing it and sticking her tongue back out to show me.
"Holy Fuck. You're so fucking sexy, baby. Where did you learn that from?" I asked, slapping my dick on her pussy a few times, hearing the slick sound of her juices coating my dick.
“Some girls in school.” she whispered looking at me with those innocent eyes.
"No one else can see you like this. You’re all fucking mine." I spat, gripping her waist and forcing her down onto my hardened cock.
“Y-Yes yes. M’ all yours daddy.” she whined, as her body bounced each time I slammed her up and down my cock.
I groaned hearing her call me daddy and fucked her harder, as my grip on her waist tightened definitely bound to leave marks, hearing the sound of skin slapping each time I bottomed out into her.
“I-Iz-zy c-cum in me p-please.” She pleaded with me, making grabby hands, to kiss my lips as I felt her orgasm approaching.
“F-fuuckk. Oh fuck look at that fucking pussy milking my cock.” I grunted watching her pussy suck every last drop of my cum into her.
I stroked her stomach thinking about what it would be like to have a mini Izzy but quickly forgot after I came down from my orgasm and rolled over catching my breath as I lied next to her with her flushed out face and fluttery eyes.
“I love you so much Izzy. Please never hurt me.” she mumbled as she fell asleep.
I promise I won’t.
Conflicted Pt:15🎀
Maddy P.O.V :
I didn’t bother Izzy any more than I already had that night.
Despite what occurred between Axl and Izzy they both did an exceptionally well job on stage and even shared the mic quite often to sing a number of songs together.
It seemed like when it came down to being a band,they were really close and it showed in their amazing performances.
It bothered me that I was driving a wedge between them both because I knew they had a long history, since they had known each other from Indiana.
Izzy told me all about Axl’s troubled childhood and how he felt bad for him, and would be there for him as much as he could despite Axl’s erratic behavior.
I felt as though I was messing around with their feelings too much and most importantly,wanted to make things right between Izzy and I.
But first I wanted to talk to Axl about everything that had transpired between us.
“You guys were awesome!” I squealed running up to my brother to congratulate him.
“Thanks sis. I appreciate it.” he said giving me a kiss on the cheek.
“Ew Duff. You’re all sweaty.” I scoffed wiping my cheek with the back of my hand.
“Where’s my kiss Duff?” Slash grinned moving his sunglasses down to peek at him.
“You’re definitely wasted.” Duff groaned heading back to the dressing rooms with Slash and Axl.
“How did you like the drums Maddy!” a rather hyper Steven asked, practically bouncing towards me with the adrenaline running though his system.
“It was great Stevie. I loved it all.” I nodded, to which he gave me his iconic grin before heading off in the same direction the others went.
I saw Izzy standing near the stage talking to some girls who were giggling and asking for his autograph.
So I made my way over there to introduce myself and let the girls back off or maybe make new friends.
“Hi everyone!” I grinned waving at the girls who didn’t seem to be any older than my age.
They looked at each other and then back towards me with an unpleasant look on their faces, practically sour.
“Who are you?” one of them spat chewing some mint gum furiously as she looked me up and down, judging my black dress.
They were wearing black ripped jeans with crop tops accessorized with chunky heels and paired with silver hoops and a bold red lip.
“I’m actually Duff’s little sister.” I replied with a warm smile in contrast to their nasty behavior.
“So you aren’t his girlfriend?” the same bratty girl asked now smirking at Izzy who was ogling her.
“N-No I mean y-yes I am.” I spewed feeling my cheeks get hot as soon as it came out of my mouth.
I didn’t dare turn around to face Izzy knowing well that he wouldn’t be feeling the same way.
“When were you gonna tell me you had a girlfriend Iz!” the girl whined like she had been waiting to spend the rest of the evening with him and her plans just got ruined.
“I never said I did.” he shrugged putting his hands up in the air before reaching down in his pocket to light up a cigarette, blowing the smoke towards my way deliberately.
I was caught off guard by the big cloud of smoke he released that I let out a few coughs causing the girls to laugh at me.
“Fucking virgin.” some girl snorted from behind the main girl.
Izzy laughed behind me like it was some funny joke.
“What’s so funny?” I asked abruptly turning around to face him.
I could feel how hot my face was from just turning around and trying to defend myself from Izzy.
“She’s kind of right. You are a virgin in a lot of ways maybe not sexually.” he snorted causing the girl who was vowing for his attention to burst out laughing.
I felt the sting of hot tears about to spill down my face and felt my breath increasing, trying my hardest not to let him see me cry.
“Aw are you gonna cry Maddy. Who fucking gives a shit.” he spat rolling his eyes at me and gesturing towards the girl to come to him.
She giggled and trotted over to where he was and right when I was just about to walk away, Izzy caught my wrist in a tight grip.
He looked me right in the eyes while giving the girl in front of him a big sloppy open mouthed tongue kiss.
“Izzy!” I screamed pushing the girl away from him to slap him across the face but he caught my hand and looked at me very aggressively with this fire in his eyes.
“Don’t fucking come near me.” he shouted making me flinch before he grabbed the girl’s hand again and disappeared down the hallway with her.
I ran off to the first room I could find in the empty backstage area and locked myself in there, bawling my eyes out as I sunk to the floor burying my face in my knees.
I understand that he was mad at Axl and I but I didn’t even let Axl kiss me.
I quickly adopted a raging headache from my tearful breakdown forcing myself to get up from the ground and wipe off my tears.
The dressing room was only a few doors down and I had to tell Duff I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and without Izzy.
But when I went to open the door of which I thought would be the dressing room the girl from earlier opened it, in a now disheveled state, her hair was knotted and her mascara ran down her face as she wiped the corner of her mouth attempting to fix the smeared lipstick.
I looked over at Izzy who was pulling his pants up, attempting to find his belt in the mess of supplies that was in the janitor’s closet.
He saw me and didn’t say a word much to my dismay as I slammed the door shut not caring if I slammed it on the girl’s hand, wishing I had and broken her finger for being such a whore.
And felt the tears starting to pour dramatically again, this time without any control in the near future as my eyes got puffier by the minute, swollen by how much I had cried already.
I found the GNR manager leaving a room to which I assumed was it and ran towards it not caring who saw me in such a state because it couldn’t be worse than what I had just witnessed.
“Duff I w-wanna g-go NOW.” I wailed, embarrassingly loud for everyone in the dressing room to go silent and stare at me in shock.
“Maddy stop your scaring me. What happened?!?” Duff exclaimed rushing over to me with his brows furrowed.
“Iz-zy…I can’t I wa-na go now please.” I hiccuped, a mess with my tear stained face and throbbing head causing me more pain.
“Okay okay let’s go.” my brother said grabbing my hand and leading me towards the exit with our belongings.
I couldn’t see anything through my blurred vision as I hoped into the vehicle that would wait for Gun N Roses after every show, well now it was mine for the night as Duff and I drove back to his place safe and soundly.
I hugged my brother as I drifted off to sleep in his arms wishing nothing more than this to be a bad dream and that when I woke up, everything was back to normal.
Izzy P.O.V
“Can you fuck me now?” the girl asked looking at me with seductive eyes, or I guess that’s what she thought.
I didn’t even remember the girls name.
“No. I have a girlfriend.” I told her before I found my belt and made my way towards the door to get the fuck away from her before she asked for anything else.
“B—But I thought-
I let the door slam in her face not giving a damn what else she had to say, fishing in my pocket for another cigarette.
Maddy had given me some major fucking anxiety a few minutes ago when she caught the girl giving me a blowjob.
The only thing that was gonna help me right now was some fucking nicotine,booze and heroin.
I needed to get fucked up tonight to forget about all of this and her, for good.
I wasn’t the ideal guy for her and she was too much of a good girl for me to the point where I questioned my own morality sometimes.
She was better off with someone like Axl.
I sighed and opened the door of the dressing room when all of a sudden Axl pushed me up against the wall roughly and held me to it.
“The fuck did you do Stradlin.” he barked holding me tighter to which I pushed him harshly causing him to stumble.
“What are you talking about.”
“She left here fucking hysterical because of something you did. She wouldn’t even tell us because she was too busy sobbing.” he said putting his hands on his hips as Slash and Steven both shot me disapproving looks.
“I didn’t do shit! You guys are the ones who would’ve fucked if it wasn’t for me going to check on Maddy when she was trying to find the restrooms!” I shouted frowning st Axl.
“Dude! She’s fucking in love with you. She literally pushed me off and told me she loves you.” he sighed sitting down with a smack to his forehead with his palm.
“Okay well how was I supposed to know Axl!” I grumbled looking at him as more than a band mate but as a good friend for the first time in awhile.
It seemed like he genuinely wanted to help me out here.
“Look I’m sorry for going after her. I know how much you care about Maddy. And so now that you have her I need you to go and fucking find her and fix things. Make it right.”
“You’re right Ax. I gotta find her.” I spewed rushing to grab my things and jogging outside to one of our loading vans.
I hope it wasn’t too late….I just wished she knew how much she really meant to me.
She was the best thing to ever happen to me in awhile and I didn’t want to give her up.
Not for fucking anything.
Conflicted Ch 30🎀:
Maddy sat at the edge of the bed, contemplating her thoughts.
After Izzy had cornered Maddy, Axl came to see how everything was going and invited Maddy to come talk with him about something serious after he left her hanging downstairs. She politely declined and left to go in the empty media room where the tv was playing an ongoing loop of everything Guns N’ Roses.
But her eyes were fixated on the tall bassist and fiery redhead. Her chest tightening as she watched them.
Izzy turned, his dark hair catching the rays of the stage light, and it was almost as if his eyes found hers through the screen.
Even from the television, Maddy felt the pull of him, the magnetic force that had drawn her in since she came out here for the first time.
His quiet confidence. And the way he always seemed to know what was going on with her, whenever she couldn’t.
But then there was Axl.
Loud, brash and impossible to ignore.
Maddy dropped her gaze, her thoughts spiraling back to the moments that had brought her here, stuck between two boys who couldn’t be more different………
Flashback: 2 months ago
The first time Izzy kissed her, they were sitting in the room of her brothers apartment. It was a hot summer night, the air thick with the scent of honeysuckle. They’d spent hours talking about everything and nothing, their legs dangling over each others.
“You ever think about the future?” Izzy had asked, his voice soft, almost hesitant.
“Sometimes,” Maddy had replied, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “But it feels so far away, you know?”
Izzy had nodded, his gaze fixed on the ceiling, littered with glowing stars. Then he turned to her, his eyes searching hers. “I think about it a lot. And you’re always in it.”
Before she could respond, he leaned in, his lips brushing hers. It was tentative, sweet, and it made her heart race in a way nothing else ever had.
Maddy blinked, the memory fading as the present came rushing back. She glanced toward Izzy again, her heart aching. Things had been so simple back then. But now, everything was complicated.
Ever since Duff had found out, it had been nothing short of a rollercoaster of emotions tearing through her heart every single night.
Axl’s laugh broke through her thoughts, drawing her attention. He was leaning against the frame of the now opened door, his arms crossed, his signature smirk firmly in place.
And then there was Axl.., painfully arrogant, a whirlwind of ego wrapped in leather and chaos, his voice cutting through the air as sharply as his unapologetic self-importance.
But even in his world of glittering façades and hollow adoration, he couldn’t ignore her—the one who was real in a sea of fake smiles and fame-chasers. She saw through the noise, and for the first time, he found himself craving something deeper than the spotlight…..
Flashback to Duff’s apartment……..
It had been a chaotic party at Duff’s, the kind of party where the music was too loud and the air smelled like cheap beer and perfume. Maddy had been standing in the kitchen, nursing a soda, when Axl had appeared beside her.
“Not your scene, huh?” he’d said, leaning casually against the counter.
“Not really,” she’d admitted, glancing around the crowded room.
Axl had grinned, his green eyes sparkling with mischief. “Come on, then. Let’s get out of here.”
Before she could protest, he’d grabbed her hand, leading her out the back door and into the night. They’d ended up at the old train tracks, sitting on the hood of his car and talking until the sky turned pink with dawn.
“You’re not like other girls,” Axl had said, his voice low. “You’re… real.”
Maddy had laughed, shaking her head. “What does that even mean?”
“It means you don’t pretend to be someone you’re not,” he’d replied, his gaze intense. “And I like that about you.”
Now, as she sat on the worn down sofa, Maddy felt the weight of those memories pressing down on her. She cared about both of them, but in such different ways.
Izzy represented safety, the kind of love that felt like home. He was the boy who knew her favorite book, who remembered the little things that no one else did. Even when he would hurt her the little things he would do for her would make up for it.
But Axl… Axl was fire. He made her feel alive in a way that was both exhilarating and terrifying.
Maddy sat on the couch, legs curled beneath her, staring blankly at the muted television. The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of the screen and the warm light of a nearby lamp. She wasn’t watching anything in particular; her mind was too cluttered with thoughts to focus. The weight of the situation bore down on her, pressing against her chest like an invisible hand.
The creak of the door broke her trance. She didn’t have to look up to know who it was. She felt his presence before she even saw him. Axl stood there, leaning casually against the doorframe, his leather jacket still on, as if he hadn’t decided whether he was staying or leaving. His eyes, sharp and unwavering, bore into her, but she refused to meet them.
“I know you see me,” he said, his voice cutting through the silence. “But you’re choosing to ignore me.” He stepped further into the room, his boots heavy against the wooden floor. “The problem won’t go away just because you’re pretending it doesn’t exist, Maddy.”
Still, she didn’t respond. Her fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the couch cushion, but her gaze remained fixed on the television.
Axl sighed, running a hand through his disheveled hair. “You’re making this harder than it has to be,” he muttered, his tone softer now, almost pleading.
Before she could muster a response, another figure appeared in the doorway. Izzy. His presence was less imposing, quieter, but no less intense. His dark eyes flicked between Maddy and Axl, and a faint smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.
“You’re not helping, Axl,” Izzy said, stepping into the room. He crossed the space to Maddy’s side and crouched down in front of her, his tone gentle, almost tender. “Hey,” he murmured, reaching for her hand. “You don’t have to say anything. I know this is a lot, but I just want you to know how much I care about you. How much I love you.”
Maddy finally looked up, her eyes meeting Izzy’s. There was a softness there, a vulnerability that made her chest ache. He squeezed her hand lightly, as if grounding her in the moment.
Axl scoffed from across the room, his arms crossed over his chest. “That’s your pitch, Izzy? Sweet words and puppy-dog eyes? You think that’s enough?” He took a step closer, his voice growing sharper. “I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be. At least I own up to my mistakes. I don’t hide behind pretty words.”
Izzy didn’t flinch. He stayed focused on Maddy, his expression calm and resolute. “This isn’t about being a man, Axl. It’s about what she needs. And she doesn’t need someone who’s going to bulldoze their way through her life.”
Maddy inhaled deeply, finally finding her voice. “Stop,” she said, her tone firm but not unkind. She looked at Axl, her expression pained but resolute. “I can’t do this anymore. I care about you, Axl, but this… this isn’t right for me. I need to move on. We both do.”
Axl’s jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with a mix of frustration and hurt. He opened his mouth to argue but stopped himself. Instead, he nodded stiffly, his lips pressing into a thin line. Without another word, he turned and walked out, the door clicking shut behind him.
Maddy exhaled, her shoulders sagging with the release of tension. Izzy sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “You okay?” he asked softly.
“I don’t know.” she croaked thinking about the consequences of her actions.
“Hey, don’t worry about him okay?” Izzy groaned.
“I can’t just not worry about him Izzy!” she sternly replied.
“Why not?” he harshly asked.
“Because I care for him a lot.” was the last thing she said before getting up and leaving out the door.
