Iris pov

"IN ANOTHER LIFE WE WERE ARSONISTS!!" me and Paige scream along with the boys.

it's the second day of the cruise and I don't think I've ever had this much fun in my life.

the song ends and us and the rest of the crowd scream.

"this next song was requested by a special friend of ours," Julien yells.

I look over to Paige to see her smiling at me.

"what?" I laugh.

"you'll see," she responds.

I look back up to the band and wait for the song to start.

"and I'd give up forever to touch you, cause I know that you'd feel me somehow. you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and I don't wanna go home right now." Phoebe sings.

"OH MY GOD!!" I scream.

Paige laughs, "I knew you'd like it."

"I LOVE YOU!" I scream, bringing her in for a hug.

Julien walks up to me and points the microphone to me.

"AND I DONT WANT THE WORLD TO SEE ME! CAUSE I DONT THINK THEYD UNDERSTAND. WHEN EVERYTHINGS MADE TO BE BROKEN I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW WHO I AM." I sing.

"IRIS EVERYBODY!" Julien yells walking away.

people scream before the boys go back to finish the rest of the song.

the concert ends and me and Paige start to walk back to our cabin.

"IRIS!!" I hear a voice yell.

I turn around to see Julien running towards us.

"hi!" she says once she's caught up with us.

"it's still really weird when you talk to us," I laugh.

Julien laughs, "do you wanna come hang out with us?"

"really?" I ask.

"yeah," she laughs. "there will be alcoholic beverages."

"we're in," Paige says.

"okay," Julien laughs. "come with me."

we follow Julien until we get to the haven section of the cruise. the haven is basically just for the rich people.

we walk into the small hangout area and sit down next to the other boys.

"heyyyy!!" Phoebe exclaims.

"hi?" Paige laughs.

"she's drunk," Lucy tells us.

"already?" I say.

"yuuuuuuuuuup!" Phoebe replies.

Paige laughs.

"she's a lightweight," Julien informs us.

"so is Iris," Paige says.

"I am not!" I yell.

"prove it then," Paige smiles.

"fine!" I down two shots.

"so," Paige turns to the boys, "why did you want to hang out with us?"

"well, you're lesbians, plus you seem fun," Julien answers.

"we are so much fuuuuuun," I say, already tipsy.

"I told you," Paige laughs.

I roll my eyes at her.
