That Girl With Bubblegum Hair

I Guess She Hear It All - Two [p5]

Heyyyyyyyyyy this chapter is a little bit short, sorry......Now on with the story: 

[ Recap:  "S-So, about what Liam said before..." ]

Iris POV - 

My hand stops writing mid-problem. I turn my head around to look at her, while she sits up on my bed to face me. 

"What?" I ask, really hoping that I heard wrong. 

"A-about what Liam sai-well actually yelled..." I can tell that she is uncomfortable. 

Shit! Shoot! Shit! Shit! Ahh!! I knew that she came into the room, but I didn't think that she actually heard anything he was saying! What if she heard that I was bi?!  Without even realizing it, my mouth drops open. I cover it with my hand...What if she heard him say her name!? That I like her?!

Looking at me, she reads my expression like a book, "No..no..nevermind...We don't have to talk about it... it's fine. Really!" She says dismissively, shaking her hands in front of herself. 

I don't NOT want to tell her, I just don't want another Liam; Another Liam that is insanely popular and could ruin me in an instant. My vision fogs up at the thought, and before I know it, there are tears spilling down my cheeks. 

I'm crying? Liam's right I am pathetic! 

..

Through the tears, I can make out a figure rushing towards me. 

I can feel her gentle arms embrace me, and her gentle hand rub my shoulder as she rests her head on my own.  

"I'm sorry......It's okay......Don't cry.." She soothingly says into my hair; but I keep crying. 

"I ju-just *Sniff* don't w-want you... *sniff* to.. ha-hate m-me *aha*" I sob into my hands. Why can't I stop crying!? 

"Hey..Look at me" Her tone is more serious as she removes her head from atop mine, putting a hand on each of my shoulders. I do as she says, turning around to face her. "If you scared that I will judge you because of what Liam said swear that I won't" Her words are so pure, so honest. 

Maybe this won't be another Liam situation after all? 

"So you don't care that I-That I...I." Even though I trust her, I cant push to words out or even look her in the eyes, to say the least. 

"Not one teeny-weeny bit" She pats my head like we've been friends forever. My eyes light up at the thought. Me and Mina, Friends!! 

 We both smile and I blush. Even more when she pulls me into a hug. "Thank you, for not crying anymore. And again, I'm sorry for making you cry in the first place." She says softly into my ear. I hadn't even noticed, but I wasn't crying anymore. 

"No hard feelings~" I sink into her hug, closing my eyes. Not even realizing that I am slowly drifting into the dream world.  

Mina POV -

She's asleep in my arms! ADORABLE! 

Now it is my turn to blush, luckily she is sleeping and won't notice. For the second time today, I pick Iris up bridal style and place her on her bed. Poor girls had a rough day, I think to myself covering her with a blanket. 

"Night Sleeping Beauty" I chuckle. This girl really is something else. 

I pick up her phone to check the time: 5:46, also noticing that it doesn't have a password. 

Putting my number on here couldn't hurt, and texting her is way easier than leaving a note. I come to the conclusion that I should in fact add my number to her phone. I type in my number and take a quick selfie to set as the profile picture.

I write a quick text before exiting her room...walking downstairs...out the door...then start making my way home.
