(Closing Time By Semisonic)











Rylee's Pov














We stood in the same place we were months ago. I was holding Iris in my arms as we stood outside of the bar at 11:54pm. Sam was rambling on about something stupid but as soon as the clock hit 11:55 he stopped.

"Rylee, i don't think i could have done this any way different. So much has happened at this place. So many memories were made, and this was the first place I met you. Overtime i have watched everyone around me, all of my friends fall into love, lose the love of their life, but one thing I'm so certain about is us. There's nothing I've ever wanted more. I don't care what you've been through, I don't care about anything. It's me, you, and Iris. And that's all I need. I love you Rylee."

"What does love mean?" Iris tilted her head as the clock hit midnight.

"Happy birthday Iris." Sam and I said at the same time.

"You knew-" I turned to him and he smiled.

"Of course I knew. I listen to every word that you say. And before you say anything, you don't have to say anything back. I know that you're still healing, but I want to help you heal. We can take things slow."

"We can take things slow." I smiled and nodded.
