No one is strong for enough anything it's how you cope that matters.

""""”""”"""""""""""""""

It was dark, It was drizzling.

Iris stood on the front porch, hoping to see the headlights of Ariel's truck.
She shivered as the cold wind sent chills down her spine.

Her stomach kept grumbling, she hasn't eaten anything since dawn.
She kept swallowing her saliva hoping it will help the hunger subside, but it only made it worse.

Iris heard a twig snap and she froze, she heard heavy footsteps.

She knew that wasn't Ariel and was about to run into the house when a voice stopped her.

"Not so fast girl"

Iris recognized the voice it was Simon, her landlord.

She gasped when he roughly turned her to face him and she collided with his chest. The stench of the alcohol on his breath made her feel sick.

"Stupid bitch"
He said as he made her stand on her own,

Her heart was beating so fast that she thought he could hear it.

" Where is your boyfriend?" He growled.

Iris was white with fear, she shivered out of cold and fear.

"Answer me slut"  Simon walked close to her and she kept moving back until her back hit the pillar, Simon kept following her, she could see the rage in his cold brown eyes.

Simon held her neck, and said in her ear.
" Don't make me ask again"

" I.... I don't....know" She stuttered.

He released her neck and took a step back from her, much to her relief but she was scared of what he was going to do next.

"Don't you fucking lie to me" He said pointing his index finger at her.

"He left before I woke up this morning.... I.. I have no idea where he is" Iris managed to say.

"Then I guess the punk ass left my money before he left" Simon raised a brow at her.

Iris quickly shook her head with wide eyes.

Simon walked close to a shaking Iris, he held her nipples that were already hard and visible due to the cold, He squeezed them hard.

Iris shut her eyes as she gritted her teeth in pain, tears falling out of her closed eyes.

Her legs wobbled and she fell on the floor which made Simon to release her.

He looked at her with irritation.
"Tell Ariel that if I don't get paid by tomorrow morning, he is dead meat and then I'll make you my bitch"

Simon walked out into the rain, leaving a crying Iris.

Iris got on her feet when she was sure that Simon was gone she dried her tears.
"Motherfucker" she spat out.

The headlights of Ariel's truck flashed in her face she squinted and used her hands to shield her eyes.

Ariel turned off the engine of his truck and the headlights went off he hopped out of his truck and slammed the door.

" Hey baby" He held out two paper bags, " I've got baloney" He said.

Iris let out a cry of joy as she ran to him and snatched one of the paper bags she opened it and ate the sausage greedily. She moaned with pleasure.

" This is the best thing I've ever tasted" She muffled, as she kept chewing.

" Let's go inside, so you can dry your hair or you will get a cold" Ariel said and they both went inside.

Iris sank on the old sofa in the living room she reached for her water bottle and drank from it, Ariel watched her closely.

"Did something happen while I was gone?"

Iris closed the bottle and wiped her mouth.
" That crack head Simon came here, he said you are dead meat if you don't pay him by tomorrow morning"

Ariel sank his fingers into his dyed blue hair, he exhaled heavily.
Iris reached for the second paper bag and tore it open.

"Hey that's my dinner" Ariel said.

"I just told you that you will be dead meat by dawn and you are thinking about dinner?" Iris scoffed as she gobbled the baloney.

"Greedy bitch" Ariel spat out.

"I was expecting a thank you, I lied to save your ass, I told him you left this morning before I woke up and I have no idea where you were" Iris explained.

She stood up and walked over to where Ariel was sitted.
" I'll just tell him tomorrow that you ain't back yet"

Iris said softly as she climbed into Ariel's laps.

Ariel stroked her blond hair with a frown etched on his face.
" Nah, he'll take you and make you his bitch"

"Then that way you won't be dead meat" Iris replied as she played with the buttons on Ariel's shirt.

"I have a huge plan, its going to make us enough money so we can get outta this shit hole" Ariel said with a determined look on his face.

Iris rolled her eyes.
"Your plans always never work out"

Ariel pushed her off his laps roughly and she yelped and fell with a heavy thud.

"Ariel, what the fuck is wrong with you?" Iris yelled.

Ariel stood up.
"I have a good plan this time and I don't want you to say depressing shit with that cock sucking mouth of yours" Ariel yelled.

Iris let out a wry laugh as she stood up.

"You are such a fucking slut, you want Simon to take you as his bitch so you get to whore around and make some cash for your self" Ariel said looking straight into her blue eyes.

Iris felt a pang in her chest Ariel's words got to her but she quickly masked her pained expression with an icy glare.

"You know what, fuck you and I really hope that you are dead meat by dawn"

Iris said and walked into the room leaving a troubled Ariel by himself.
