I'm Not Expired

Chapter 3 - Erik

        "Iris get out here, you promised me a chit chat!!"
Erik was always complaining but that was just his personality. I finally got out of my big comfortable bed. When I say comfortable I mean comfortable, I could live on that bed and never move.

      "Well looks like we've got a sleeping beauty"
Erik says a little annoyed. Classic, real classic.

      "What do you expect from that amazing, soft, gorgeous, comfy cloud of a bed??" I retorted. Leave it to me to be sarcastic!

      "Iris I miss you. I miss us. I know you're married and I have a girlfriend but I still love you.. Why after all I've done, didn't you choose me Iris? It's been driving me so damn crazy. I deserve answers."
He looked so sad, he was right, he deserved the answers.

       "Ok but don't get hurt? You promise?"

"Always." He starting to sound like The Fault In Our Star over here yesh.

       "I chose Jonas because I always knew his feelings for me were real. He was real and he understood me more than anyone I've ever met. He cared about me and he never let go of me.. Even when I was off with you, he still chased after me. Without me he was broken and deep down, I was too. You, you weren't ready for a relationship. We would have a moment and then you would bring up something about Molly or how we're alike. Erik I don't want to be someone second choice, especially since you can't have your first. I hated being compared to Molly because I'm Iris. And if you couldn't love me for me, and not the parts you saw Molly in, it wasn't love. And I needed love.. I couldn't take a heartbreak Erik. I wish you would understand. I love you in a way.. You're just like a brother to me. That will be the strongest content of our relationship." I just spit it out like it was a piece of burning food in my mouth. I didn't mean for it to come out so harsh.. But I can't take any of it back now.

He looked devastated. I knew this would happen.. I gave him a hug but he just stood there.

     "Iris I do love you.. Even though I love Molly I loved you too.. It's just.. J-just she was my world my life and I lost her. I didn't want to lose you too. Molly.. She was.."
Of course he was babbling about Molly. I've had enough.

    "Erik I didn't come to talk about Molly, you wanted answers and I gave them. I will see you later Erik."

    I went straight to my room and into Jonas's arms. I didn't want to hurt him but he did this to himself. I wish he could just understand..
   I wish he would just let me go..
