Iris's POV:

there were times in my life i wished i didn't love him, but i did and i feel like i forever will and that scares me. i try to imagine my life, my future, and i see him there by my side and that scares me. jake came into my life when i needed him and when i thought he needed me back, but he didn't- he had her. he always had her. i often struggled scrolling through social media, his social media. it was always revolved around her, everywhere i looked on social media i only saw her. even when they broke up, they still hung out every day and posted each other every day. it was a daily struggle for me: he'd show up at my house, want to make videos with me, flirt with me, then he'd rant about something tara was doing that upset him, and then he'd leave - it was a continuous cycle that kept eating away at me. 9 times out of 10, the thing that upset him was that she was talking to other boys. and that's what i struggled with, i was in love with him and he was in love with her, and she could care less. i would often think he felt the same, that he was in love with me, when he'd do the little things like get me flowers, order me my favorite lunch on long film days, clean my house when i'm sick, take care of me when i'm drunk - i could go on, but those things never mattered. i realized he didn't feel the same way when we'd schedule to hang out and he'd cancel to be with her, like today.

i paced around my room going from drawer to drawer trying to find the equipment so jake could take pictures of me for my brand deal. i had found the camera and the lens, but i couldn't find the battery. "jake! do you know where the battery is?" I continued searching through my nightstand as i hear footsteps walking down my hallway, "battery for what?" I look up and shake the camera a little, "for the camera. i forgot the battery died a couple days ago and i'm trying to find another one. you moved them so i figured i'd ask." he walks into my room, his dark hair covered his face as he leans down to sit on my bed. he tosses his hair back to move it from in front of his eyes and he looks over at me, "i remember nothing about batteries. why do you need the camera anyways?" i keep his eye sight and let out a sharp sigh. "i have a sponsorship and need photos taken.. you said you'd take them." he lets out a sigh to match mine and clears his throat. "listen, tara asked if i could help her with a youtube video she wants to post." i toss the camera on the bed and shake my head in disbelief, he always does this. "we've been planning this day for the past two weeks. you helped her last week and the week before and i keep putting it off to wait for you, why can't you help her tomorrow?" i knew arguing about her wouldn't help anything, he always gets defensive and ignores me for three days and then goes back to acting like nothing happened. it's honestly stressful and sometimes i wish i had the guts to cut him off, but i don't.. i love him too much.

he makes a face at me, "i know that i help her a lot, but she helps me too. and why do i have to put off helping her, can't you put off your photo thing one more day?" i turn my back towards him and roll my eyes. my shoulders drop as his words struck me, i will never be as important to him as she is. "you know what, it doesn't even matter anymore. i'll just ask sam to help me, go be with tara." i turn back around and lean down next to my bed to pick up my backpack that is filled with my laptop and it's charger, i grab my camera and put it in the backpack. in a harsh movement, jake stands up from my bed and turns towards me with a confused look on his face, "sam? why are you going to ask sam to help you? i said i'd help you, just give me a day." i contemplate ignoring jake and going back to looking for my camera battery, but i give up and face jake again. his face holds a look of confusion and a hint of hurt, it takes everything in my body to not roll my eyes at his audacity. "well, i can't put off my sponsorship, i already have for the last two weeks. you told me you were available today so i told the sponsor that i will have the photos up by tomorrow, i can't wait for you. he always helps me when you cancel." i don't wait for a response from jake and grab my backpack and walk toward the kitchen. i set the bag down on the island and start opening the drawers, my camera charger is on the counter so i am hoping the battery is somewhere in one of the drawers. jake follows me and leans on the island. "so let me get this straight, anytime i ask you to reschedule something we have to do dealing with social media you don't, you just run to sam for help. so you are basically making plans behind my back with another person," jake says releasing a sarcastic chuckle. i rummage through a drawer and find a fully charged battery, i let out a sigh of relief. i shut the drawer and make my way to my backpack, "i think it's kind of ironic that you say that when we've had this day planned and you went behind my back to make plans with tara," i open my backpack to slip the battery in and then shut it. i push the backpack back and glance up at jake. he stands up tall no longer leaning on the island and throws his hands in the air, "that's not the same thing. you know that she struggles with her youtube and tiktok, i offer to help her. that's not fair of you to say." i look up at him and stare in confusion, is he literally justifying that he can go behind my back but i can't go behind his? "you're a real dick, you know that? did you forget that i also do social media for a job? i ask you all the time for help and you always brush me off to help tara. i mean- you two aren't even together anymore. she's using you and walking you like a fucking dog and you allow it," i let the words flow out of my mouth finally speaking my true feelings. i was over walking on egg shells around him when it came to tara because she always got in between us.
