Blood in the Darkness

Chapter 4

It had been about a week, and Iris had been begging him to help her escape, he finally gave in. Jasper and Iris were sitting in the parking lot, "Jas, you should steal me a car." He looked over at her and laughed. "This isn't a smart idea but I'll do it for you." Jasper was a flirt and Iris never realized it. "Come on, pick one." He looked at her and allowed her to walk in front of him. She walked up to a random car and leaned on it, "How does this one look on me?" She did a couple poses and laughed. "Amazing as always." He laughed and thought to himself, 'Man I am in deep'. She moved to sit on the ground while he hot wired it. "Ready ba- Iris?" The car roared to life as he unlocked the passenger door to let her in. Jasper started driving, "Junkyard?" She smiled but shook her head, "You know I would love to but I really want to go home right now." He nodded understandingly. They arrived at her house and she turned to him before getting out, "I'll text you later, yeah?" He looked at her, "I'll be waiting." She smiled at him before turning to go into her house.

Ava was home with Marcus when she got a text from Iris.
'Hey A, I'm finally out, can I come over?'
'Holy shit I didn't think you were gonna get discharged for another week!'
'Lol, I broke out.'
'Iris, you crazy bitch. Come on over.'
'Great, I'll be omw.'
Ava was sitting on the couch when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door to see Iris, "Hey!" Iris walked in and sat on the couch. "This has been a stressful week. I need alcohol." Iris looked at Ava, knowing she had a fake ID, since she lost hers in the accident. "Fine I'll be back." Ava went to go get them alcohol and Iris was left there sitting on the couch bored.

Marcus came down the stairs to get some food from the kitchen. He glanced at Iris for a second before continuing his journey. Iris was quick to follow him to the kitchen. Iris, being the sex addict she is, was already wearing provocative clothing. Iris sat on the counter while he was looking through the fridge. "Heyyy Markiee." Iris looked at him with a smile. "What do you want junkie." He rolled his eyes at her. "You don't want me to answer that." She gave him a seductive look. "Shut the fuck up." He seemed annoyed but it was just a cover up, he didn't want her to know what he was thinking. Marcus walked over to Iris to get something out of a cabinet she was sitting in front of. She looked him up and down before pulling him to her by the waistband of his sweatpants. She had one hand on his waistband and the other on his chest. "I like your tattoos..." She looked up at him and bit her lip while running her hand down his chest. He leaned his head down towards her, "Do you?" He had a slight smirk on his face. Her hand that was not in his waist moved up to the back of his neck and brought his face down slightly. "Mhmm." She ran her slightly cold tongue ring against his bottom lip, as she was silently asking for permission. He granted her permission by roughly kissing her with his hands roaming her body. Her hand messed with the fabric of his waistband as he tore her shirt off. Just as things were getting heated, the door opened. The two were to busy  to hear anyone come in.

"What the actual fuck." Ava saw her best friend shirtless with her hands in her brothers pants, which was traumatizing by the way. They still didn't hear her and kept getting further until Ava dropped a bottle of vodka on the ground. Iris gasped and removed her hands from Marcus. "Ava." Iris was breathing heavy and was looking around for the shirt that Marcus ripped. Iris found her shirt and tied it since he had ripped it. "Ava, I am so sorry. I don't know what came ove-" Marcus was cut off by Ava running out the door. Iris got off the counter to follow Ava. "Ava please stop running. I don't know why I did that. You know I have my problems!" Ava stopped and turned to Iris, "Iris. My brother? Really? You can have anyone you want and you chose Marcus?" Iris had the most guilty look on her face. "You have fucked literally everyone close to me! 4 of my past boyfriends, and now my brother? No wonder you were raped! You literally ask for it!" Iris stared at her in disbelief. She could feel her entire body heating up in anger. "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME AVA. DO YOU KNOW HOW FUCKED IT IS TO SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT! YOU ARE SO FUCKING LUCKY THAT THIS SHIRT THAT YOUR BROTHER RIPPED OFF OF ME TO FUCK ME IS BARELY TIED TOGETHER, OR ELSE I WOULD KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS!" Iris gave her the middle finger. "From the bottom of my heart, truly fuck you." Iris did the most difficult thing for her, she walked away. Even though Iris walked away, she couldn't go without damaging something. Her anger got the best of her and she kicked the door in on a car parked along the street. "Fuck." She looked at the damage and quickly sprinted away.

Ava finally made her way back to her house after cooling down. She slammed the front door to see Marcus sitting on the couch. "We need to talk." Ava looked at him with a tear stained face. "Ava, look, I'm sorry. She seduced me. I shouldn't have gave in." Ava sat down next to him, "What about Reia?" Marcus had a guilty look on his face. "I-I.." He couldn't get the words out of his mouth. "You have two days to tell her. Or I will." Marcus swallowed hard and nodded. Ava got up and turned to him, "I'm still pissed at you." She walked away.

Jasper was sitting in his room waiting for Iris to contact him. He was slowly drifting off when Iris facetimed him.
'Iris, hey.'
His entire demeanor changed when he saw that she was crying.
'Jasper can you.... pick me up.'
She said this in between sobs.
'Sure where are you. I'll be on my way.'
'Thank you, Jas, I really need to talk.'
He nodded and hung up before speeding to her location.
Jasper saw Iris sitting on a curb and pulled over, "Hey, Get in." She wiped her face and got in the car. Instinctively, he put his hand on her thigh as he started driving, moving it occasionally to shift gears. "Junkyard?" She nodded and placed her head on the window. The drive there was silent, but not awkward. It was just the two of them happy to be in the presence of each other.  They arrived at the junkyard and Jasper parked in "their spot". He killed the engine and turned to look at her, "What happened?" Iris looked at him, "I- I don't know what got into me, but I... I tried to sleep with Marcus Miller." She had a guilty look on her face. "I was at Ava's and she left to get us alcohol, and and I felt like I needed him and his validation, but now I realize there is only one person who matters to me." She was sobbing uncontrollably at this point. Jasper was hurt, he knew that they weren't together but the thought of anyone but him touching her angered him. "It's you. You are the only person who matters to me Jas." Jasper's entire thought process stopped, 'Me? I am the only person that matters to her?' He thought to himself. Jasper couldn't find words, but Iris started speaking again anyways. "And Ava is beyond pissed at me. She said some really fucked up things, but at this point I don't blame her." Iris took a deep breath before continuing, "She brought up how I slept with a few of her past boyfriends, and she said..." Iris choked out a loud sob. "She said i deserved to be raped." Iris broke down entirely, leaning to Jasper's arms. Seeing Iris like this pained him, almost bringing tears to his eyes. Jasper ran his fingers through her hair, "If she says shit like that, we don't need to be friends with her." Iris leaned back and just stared at him for a second. Jasper looked at her tear stained face and the words just came out of his mouth, unable to be controlled. "Iris Lowe, I fucking love you." Iris looked at him, stunned. Jasper had a worried look on his face, scared that he might have fucked everything up. "Iris, I- I'm-" He was cut off Iris kissing him. She pulled away, "I think I love you too." She said, almost in a whisper.
