Summary: Liz just went through a nasty breakup.
Sometimes, Liz gets a little pissy. I can't blame her; I mean, I can get pissy sometimes too. Some days, she just has a bad day.
Like yesterday, for instance. We took a walk down the street and every time a little kid would run up to us and squeal "oh my god, you're Cat and Jade!" she ignored them and walked away. Normally, she plays along and pretends to be mean, but then hug them like the teddy bear she is. Yesterday was just off.
I understand her crankiness, though. Last week, her boyfriend of freaking years broke up with her. Liz was devistated. She locked herself in her room and wouldn't even let me in. I slept on the couch outside that night. I didn't want to be out of earshot.
For the next few days, we sat on the couch and watched musical after musical, singing them as we felt like it. Liz looks so happy when she sings. Her face softens and she looks blissful. It's really a beautiful thing.
Every day, I've been trying to take her somewhere to have fun, but she refuses to even get changed out of pajamas and shower. Dan's starting to get tired of her coming to read-throughs all stinky and gross. He actually tried to confront her the second time, but she got pissed off and walked out.
Today, I came home from the gym and didn't find her on the couch, where I expected her to be. The movie still played on the screen, though. I shut it off and called out for her.
She didn't reply, but I heard quiet sobbing coming from her room. I walked up to the door to find it open and her curled up on the bed with tissues all around her and a picture of her and her boyfriend on the nightstand beside her.
I sat on the bed by her side. "Liz, I thought you got rid of that picture."
"I thought I did, too," she sobbed and sat up so she leaned on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around her. "I guess I pulled it out in hopes that he didn't really leave me for some other girl. I texted him."
"Aw, Lizzy, he's not worth it." She tucks her head under my chin and I rest my head on the top of hers.
"I thought he might be," Liz sobs again and breaks down into hysterics, "but he didn't even know who I was. He got rid of my number. Asked if I was 'Anna.' "
I laid down with her held close and let her calm down a little before climbing off the bed and making marshmallow root and licorice tea for us both. Setting the mug on the night stand by her bed, I sat nearby and rubbed her back comfortingly.
"Come a little closer," she whispered between sobby hiccups. At this point, she faced the wall farther from the door.
I moved closer so we were only a few inches apart.
"Come a little closer," she whimpered again. I leaned over her and placed my mug beside hers and laid behind her with my arms around her waist. She turned to face me, buried her face in my chest, and broke down again.
"Baby, baby," I tried to comfort her, combing outher curly hair with my fingers. "It'll all be okay. I'm here."
Liz looked up at me and sniffled. "Promise?"
I smiled. "Promise." She laid her head back on my chest and I held her for a few minutes until she pulled her head away and looked at me again.
"Can I do something?" she asked.
"Sure." I wasn't sure what exactly she wanted, but I figured I'd just let her have her way.
Tentatively, she leaned in and placed her lips on mine. I smiled a little into the kiss and kissed back. Once she got into it, she really got into it. I had always wondered what kissing Liz would be like. She kissed Avan all the time and he said she was amazing. Now I knew.
When we parted, Liz looked at me with still teary eyes. "You don't hate me now, do you?"
I shook my head. "No, I still love you." I placed my hand on her cheek and kissed her again, letting her take control and push me onto my back so she could lay on me.
"I know you'll keep me safe," she smiled down at me and kissed the tip of my nose. "I trust you."
I let a smile grow on my face and held onto her around her waist. "You better believe that I'm here to stay."
Liz rolled off of me and cuddled close. "Good." She snuggled with her face against my chest again and I kissed the top of her head softly.
Sometimes, Liz can be cute.
