TICK TOCK, TIME WAS RUNNING OUT—-it was always moving forward, every second that they wasted was one that they could not get back.

iris was the pawn, miles and timothee were the players.

time is running slow when you want it to go fast, and time is running fast when you want it to go slow—-however at the end of the day time is always the same speed, whether it is too fast or too slow.

time was always something that was an unsatisfactory to people—-it was scary, it was threatening, and everyone had a time limit,

however—-they refused to believe that iris' time was up, she was twenty one and they could sure as hell guarantee that it wasn't.

"okay you guys have fun" lily walked to her car,

"where the hell are you going?!" jack shouted,

"home, what the hell? i don't want to be here!" she shouted,

"no come with, please!" noah begged, causing miles to turn and look at him as if he had lost his mind,

"are you crazy?! i don't want to be with her!" miles whisper shouted at noah, who, in return, held his hand up, silencing him.

"—shut it man whore, no one cares what you think" noah said before he made his way over to lily,

"see why i don't want to be here?!" she gestured to
miles,

"ignore him, he's a hormonal man whore who hasn't been laid in about a month—-he's angry, and now two important people to him are gone" noah explained to her,

"it's always been like this between miles and i, we have never gotten along and everyone knows it" she replied,

"it's fine lily, we want you here... it's not up to miles" noah shook his head,

"i left for a reason, noah" she tilted her head to the right slightly,

"and you can come back" noah said,

"—hey assholes let's not talk about moving when our friend is six feet underground, yeah?!" miles shouted over to them,

"just come with" noah dragged her wrist over to the car, she let out a whine, noah mocked her in return

he pushed her in the back seat, she sat behind the drivers seat, while noah sat in the middle and jack sat behind the passenger seat.

miles went to go to the drivers seat, but timothee took the keys from his hand before hopping in,

"you're not driving while your angry, you'll fucking kill us all" timothee said as he put his seat belt on, causing miles to roll his eyes as he let out a loud groan before going over to the passenger seat,

"now can you guys at least try and get along?" jack asked, gesturing to miles and lily.

they looked at each other, giving each other death stares for a few moments before looking at noah and jack, speaking at the same exact time,
