I let out a heavy sigh as I threw myself onto my bed, finally out of that uncomfortable ass suit and in some sweats. I grabbed my phone, scrolling through my contacts before I landed on her name. My thumb hovered over the "call" button.

Maybe she's asleep already... Never mind.

I pressed the home button and laid my head back on the pillow, holding my phone against my chest. I licked my lips, shutting my eyes just in time for my phone to begin ringing. I lifted it up lazily and when I saw her name I jumped up, quickly pressing answer with a huge smile on my face.

"Hey, baby."

"Hey." I heard her whisper, her voice sounding sad. I frowned, my heart sinking as I sat back on the bed.

"Baby girl, what's wrong?"

"I wanna see you please?" She sniffled and I could practically feel her pain through the phone.

"Please come and g-get me?" She whispered, her voice pleading and I didn't hesitate to respond.

"I'll be there in five minutes."

I hung up and quickly pulled on a jacket before sprinting downstairs.

She came running out from behind her house, still wearing the dress she had on earlier at the dinner. She hopped into the car, her breathing heavy as she looked at me. Her eyes were red and her cheeks were tear-stained. "Baby, what's the matter?"I frowned, staring into her eyes while my hands gripped onto the steering wheel. She shook her head, tears running down her cheeks before she lifted up one of my arms, placing herself in my lap.

"Just take me away from here, please." She whispered, burying her head in my neck and wrapping her arms around my torso.

"Where do you wanna go to?" I asked softly, running my fingers over her cheek. She shrugged, sniffling slightly.

"Anywhere.... I just wanna be with you."

My heart fluttered in my chest and I smiled softly, kissing her forehead. "Alright." I started up the car and began driving back to my house. I pulled up into my driveway and turned off the engine. Iris got off my lap and out of the car while I did the same. I took her hand, leading her inside the house and up to my room. She sat down on my bed and I sat next to her, pulling her into my lap.

"What's going on, baby?" I whispered, twirling a piece of her hair around my finger. She looked at me, tears running down her cheeks again.

"I-i.. H-he.. He s-said." She sobbed, her fingers clutching onto my jacket.

"Baby." I held onto her tighter, my nose nuzzled in her hair ".. Talk to me."

She sobbed, "M-my dad said.... W-we can't be t-together.!"

My heart stopped, No. No, no, no! My breathing became heavier and I looked down at her, my heart breaking into thousands of pieces.

"D-did I do something wrong?" I muttered, my throat tightening up. She looked up at me, her eyebrows furrowing as she shook her head.
