The Boy with the Vans

Chapter 22

Waking up that morning next to him made me realize how much of a slut I've been lately.

He knows that I love Aaron, so maybe this will be kept a secret.

His eyes fluttered open as I watched him slowly wake up.

"Hey," he smiled with his eyes barely open.

"Hey.. About last night..."

He sat up as I started to mention all that happened and put his finger over my lips, "Iris. It's okay. You needed a distraction and that distraction was me. I get it."

I sighed at the words he replied with and felt a huge weight lift off my chest.

I should really get in touch with Aaron.

------------

The next few days at my Mom's house with Cameron were okay.

The day before we left I got a notification.

*Aaron Carpenter is live!*

It couldn't hurt to see what was going on with him..

"Yooooo how's everyone doing?" He smiled at all the comments flooding him.

I smiled at his smile. I missed it.

He was replying to frequently asked questions and then finally one hit him where he was silent for a few seconds.

"How are you and Iris holding up? I miss seeing you two together! #Aaris" he read out and I held my breath to see his reaction.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you guys about that. Iris and I have been taking a break because of a few complications that I would like to keep private. I kind of want to keep all of this on the down low for now."

Then it happened.

valerie__p: AARON IRIS NOTICE HER

"No!" I yelled at my phone as he looked away for a second.

"Wait guys really? Iris are you watching?"

I decided the only way I could get his attention through the sea of comments was sending him a fan mail.

Fanmail from Iris S.: Yes I am

His eyes widened a bit before closely shutting and I could see his happiness drain from his face.

"That's cool," he forced a grin as he rubbed his neck. "Guys I think I'm going to end the broadcast, I haven't been feeling that great this past week so, love you all."

And the screen went black.

I sighed as I could feel he couldn't get over what we both did.

I decided to call his mom.

"Hello?" A cheerful southern accent on the other end greeted me.

"Hey, Becky! It's Iris!" I smile to myself as I hear other people in the background.

"Hey Iris! Whatcha up to?" she asked as the other conversations in the background slowly disappeared.

"I need your advice, Mama Becky. I screwed up big time with your little boy and so he did with me. I don't want you to pick sides or anything but I really need your help to bring him back to me. He was my first love, my first everything. I ruined it by being with Kian, and then Cameron! I feel like such a whore and I hate myself for it. I want his forgiveness as soon as possible so that my own self doesn't completely fade out to someone I'm not. I'm honestly thinking about dark places that I don't want to go.. Thank you for listening."
