MASCARA runs down Iris's cheeks. Fucking Nathan. Why was he there? Iris can't help but replay the moment over and over again: her ex taking advantage of her, her boyfriend seeing her, I guess ex boyfriend now. She really thought she had found the one. It may sound cliche but it was true.
Iris lay in her bed, curled up, she hadn't left her room or eaten in days. Her stomach ached but she felt as though "she deserved it."
A knock was heard on her door, following with a creak of wood. "Iris..." it was Cal. Cal isn't the serious and affectionate type, but for once, he walked into her room with a motive and a straight face. "Did mom send you in here?" Iris sniffles and sits up in her bed. "No, I just wanted to check up on you. I brought you a matcha." Cal says a little sheepishly while handing her the green drink.
Iris was relieved because she hadn't had sustanance in days but she kept her happiness in. She grabbed the drink from the boy and set it on her nightstand. "Thanks Cal." "No problem. Well actually it was a problem, I went to the wrong place at first and then an old women chased me out of her cafe. But then-" Iris glared at Cal. "Right, sorry..." he trails off. Cal turns around to walk out the door. "Thank you again Cal, I really appreciate it." Iris says wholeheartedly. "Why of course m'lady" Cal bows and exits the room.
Iris smiles, something she also hasn't done in days. People keep texting and calling her to talk about Connor, and she really can't be bothered. But her interaction with Cal was exactly what she needed. She picks up the cup from her nightstand and takes and long gulp. It she stays in her bed any longer, she might actually start to rot.
For the first time in what felt like forever, Iris stands up from her bed. It takes her a minute to adjust. Low iron problems. Iris walks over to her closet so she can change out of the same hoodie and shorts she's been wearing for the past few days. Opening her closet, the first thing she sees are her old running shoes.
Iris used to go running practically everyday a few years ago. Seeing these shoes, gave her motivation. She grabs the shoes and place them behind her. She proceeds to grab her sports bra, tanktop, and shorts. She quickly changes and looks at herself in the mirror. God, she had gotten skinny, unhealthy skinny. She decides to brush it off and walk out her door.
