Iris pov
I wake up at 9 in the morning. I just lie in bed until my dad walks in. "Why aren't you ready. You said we were gonna keave at 8?" I asked him. "First, your not even ready. Second, I had this and thought you should have it instead of buying you something." He says and hands me a box. I look at it confused.
"Open it." He said excited. I figured he'd do something like this. It's his last year in the army, so I'm told. I do as I'm told and unwrap it. Theres a big blue box. "My favorite color." I said smiling because it's true. I opened up the lock on top and reached inside. It was the cutest stuffed bear I've ever seen. There was more in the box too. My favorite mascara, some liquid eyeliner (which is awesome js), some manic panic dye, a few bracelets, an All Time Low future hearts shirt, my favorite apple scented perfume and lastly one of his old dog tags.
"Aww, dad you shouldn't have. Now whatever I give you won't be as awesome." I said with a pout. He smiles at me. "Come here kid." He says pulling me up and into a hug. "Thank you dad. I love you." He smiles. "Go out into the world. Have fun. Me and your mom are gonna talk a bit ok?" He said. "But I need to get you something..." I said as he shook his head.
"Don't get me anything kid. It's alright." He said and walked out my room and closed the door. I got out of bed and put on a random tank top and shorts. I decided I'd go to Damon's since he said something about hanging out today. I walk over to his door and knock.
I wait a minute untill I hear a bang and Damon say, "What the tits wall." I try not to laugh but fail miserably. He opens the door and smiles at me. "Hey. I thought you were hangin with your dad?" He asks as we walk to his kitchen. "He canceled. He has to talk to my mom about something." I say he just nods. We hang out for a bit just talking. I'm really falling for him.
Damon's pov
"Damon. Stop." She says through a few laughs. We decided to make vegan cake. She's never had it and I never made it. I had put cake batter on my hand and spread it on her face. "You can't make me. I'm older than you." I say. "You don't know that Damon." She laughs. "Or do I?" I say seriously. "You are obviously 5 Damon. I'm 22." She said with a laugh.
"How rude. I mean I'm obviously 7." I say causing her to laugh. I laugh a bit as well. "Can I tell you something Iris?" I ask nervously. "What's up butter cup?" She asked popping the 'p'. She was putting the cake in the oven. "I... I l-..." I was interrupted by her kissing my lips. After a few seconds of our lips moving in sync she pulled away. "I like you too." she said rapping her arms around my neck. I smile at her.
"You're so beautiful." I say to her. She blushes and shakes her head. I ignore that as we walk to the couch. We sit down and I turn on the tv. "Oh put on adventure time." She said smiling. I clicked it and it came on. It was the one where Fin wanders around and destroys things then he has to get the tear but then he changes his mind. At least I think I'm not really sure. Then the oven beeps.
"The cake should be done right?" I asked standing and walking to the kitchen. I pull the cake from the oven and it looks decent. She follows behind and sits at the island. I place it infront of her. "Wanna try it?" I asked her. She made a cute disgusted face and shook her head. I laughed and grabbed a glass of milk for us to share. We both got forks and took a piece of cake. It was disgusting.
"Eww." She said spitting it into a napkin. "Yeah." I said spitting it into the trash can. She took a few sips of milk. Then her phone rang. On the third ring she answered. "Hey mom. I'm with a friend." She said smiling big at me. Her smile soon fades.
"Today? Right now? He can't. But mom! It's not fair." She said crying now. She slammed her phone on the counter and stood up. "I have to go. I'm sorry Damon. I'll call you later." She said giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "It's ok." I say as she grabs her phone and walks out the door. I am left alone with a nasty cake. "Great." I mumble and walk over to the couch.
Iris' pov
I ran back to my house still crying. My dad was standing in the door way. I ran up to him and hugged him. "Daddy. Don't leave me." I cried into his uniform. "I'm sorry Iris. I have to go my plain arrives soon. I promise I'll see you soon." He said rubbing my back. "You never had to leave early before. Why?" I asked holding him tighter. "I don't know. But I promise I'll see you soon." He said leaving out the door.
I went to my room and cried. He was supposed to stay tonight and hold me while I cry. He dose that every day before he leaves. I stop crying and lie under the covers. I hear a knock on the door and footsteps down the hall. Then I hear my doorknob turn and my bed sink with the sudden weight. I feel arms around my waist and turn under the covers. He pulls the blanket off my face a to reveal Damon.
