Iris POV

I look down at the phone in my hand, feeling guilty as fuck. I have just lied to Andy! The one person I have always said I would never lie to. And there you have it. I lied. A bitter taste coats my mouth and I find it difficult to breathe. Seth looks at me, concerned when he comes back. 

"You okay?" 

"Yeah..."

"No you're not."

I give him a pointed look, "Sharp."

"Well I have been sharpened." He looks as confused as I feel. 

"That made no sense whatsoever."

"I should say it sound better in my head but I didn't think about it."

I give a weak laugh. 

"Come on, what's wrong?" He pushes me lightly with his shoulder.

"I lied to Andy," I say in a small voice.

"And why would you do that? You both seem like the ying and yang of life, the perfect example of a loving couple."

"Hush you." I laugh, "I don't know you!"

"You are getting to."

I look down at my feet and sigh, "I better split. Got to check out my shop."

"You make it sound like somethings happened?"

"Something has, dude. I really gotta go. Thanks... again. Come on Andy!" 

"I am following you!" Footsteps following behind me.

"This is not twitter you stalker!" I hear laughter behind me. I continue on my way, ignoring him behind me but after a block or so I wave a hand behind me and go, "SHOO!"

"I am not a dog!"

"You sure? You're either a stalker or a dog. Take your pick."

I just hear a chuckling. I roll my eyes and continue on my way. I hear Seths step stop when he sees my shop, boards in the windows, glass strewn around. An utter mess. 

"Iris... What happened?"

"I was robbed last night."

"Are you okay?"

"I hid in a potted plant, I'm fine," I unlock the door that left standing. I sigh as Andy runs ahead and stops in his tracks, confused. His favourite couch ripped up and a weird scent of potted plant. I pet his head.

"Not impressed babe?"

Seth inhaled, "I assume that's the plant you hid in?"

"The one and only." 

There's silence for a minute as Seth looks around. 

"I'm going to help you clean this place up."

I spin around and look at him in disbelief. "No you're not."

"Yes I am." He pauses and makes a hand motion, "This place is your pride, I need to help. It would feel wrong if I didn't." 

"I have two people and a dog already helping me it's fine...." 

"Not taking no for an answer okay. Please. Let me help you? I assume you lied to Andy about this."

"He's on tour... I couldn't..."

"I know. That's why I feel a need to help."

I nod reluctantly. "Okay, one thing you need to know about cleaning with me: bring earplugs."

"Why?"

"I don't believe in hearing discretion... Plus I have surround sound stereos..."

Hey guys!

Do let me know what you think and thank you for reading!

I need to ask you of a favour.

Not sure if you remember but before I asked for you guys to write a birthday message for my friend in the comments so I could put in in a video for her.

Well I'm making another, but this time for my other friend, Erin. She has a obsession with BVB quite like me, going to see them with me in March (OMG)

But if you'd like to  leave a comment saying 'Happy Birthday Erin!" I'll screen cap it and put it in the video. Only if you wish but it'd mean a lot. Thank you guys! *hugs*
