Iris and her younger brother Jack made a bet together that if the Sidemen would ever come to their home town Brighton then Iris would take Jack to see them. But she doesn't regret the bet as much as she thought she would when she meets one of the bo...
We were all on the plane I was sitting in a row with Sarah, Emily, Kate and Freya while Jack sat in front of us with JJ, Josh, Ethan and Harry of course Leah and Simon were sitting together purely because she doesn't trust him. "What did you say to Leah and Simon because they haven't spoken to each other the whole journey here?" Sarah asked "I said that she needed to grow up and all this abuse thing needs to stop, I also said that no one actually likes her the only reason she is even on this trip is because she just doesn't trust Simon to be away from her for two weeks." "You're just a pure savage Iris." Freya laughed a little which made us all laugh "So getting off the topic of Simon and Leah what is everyone going to do in L.A?" Kate asked us all "Well Cal and I are probably just going to enjoy spending time together and maybe go to a restaurant." Sarah said "I think Ethan and I may do the same." "I don't even know what Harry wants to do." Kate joked "Josh and I are probably going to do some shopping but not a lot." Freya said "What about you Iris?" Emily asked "Well I'll spend time with Jack obviously and we'll both do stuff together and also hang out with Troye and Alex. I do want to hang out with Cal for a bit though but just as friends." I explained all the girls nodded and agreed with me about the whole thing. The plane had taken off and we had been travelling for about an hour and a half, the girls were asleep so they wouldn't be tired when we got to America and I was about to go to sleep when I noticed Cal gesturing me over to him, as I was on the end of the row I stood up and walked over to him and sat down in the spare chair next to him. "What's up?" I asked him "I wanted to know if when we got to America if you wanted to hang out for a bit, you know as friends." He asked me I smiled at him before I replied to him "Yeah course I will, I was telling the girls the same thing actually so yeah I think we should." I smiled Cal and I then hugged each other before I stood up and walked back over to my seat where I fell asleep leaning my head on Sarah's shoulder I fell asleep quickly and peacefully.
America 🇺🇸
We had landed in America we were now all in the two cabs on our way to the hotel that we had booked, the girls and I were going to book a room but then I remembered about Jack so I booked a room for us two but he was going to be spending the majority of his time with Cal and the others I knew it whereas I was going to be spending my time with the girls when they all weren't too busy with their boyfriends. "Right so shall we and go get dinner?" Ethan asked us as we all stood in his and Emily's room "Yeah sure we'll just have to find a place to eat that wiki have a big enough table for us all." Alex said to Ethan "Let's go and walk around L.A and we can see what food chains there are that have a big enough table." Vikk suggested "Okay sure, well I'm just going to get changed and Jack you need to take your medication remember,it's in the front pocket of my backpack that's sitting on the chair in our room." I said "Yeah okay, well lets go now then." Jack said I nodded at him and said that we would meet the others in the hotel lobby once we had gotten ourselves ready for the dinner. "Iris are you and Cal okay?" Jack asked as we reached our room and walked inside "Yeah we're fine why do you ask?" "I just wanted to know that's all." "Yeah well we're fine, we're planning on doing something during the two weeks just the two of us as friends." I replied back to him with a smile "Alright cool." I watched as Jack took his medicine I then smiled at him and I pulled out some clothes and walked into our bathroom so I could change.

Once I was changed and I redid my makeup Jack and I made our way to the lobby where we saw everyone waiting and talking, Jack went straight over to the boys and I walked over to the girls who were talking about some brand deal that Sarah had been offered, as we were all about to leave Cal said something to me "Is that my hat Iris?" He asked me "Yeah it is but you have to admit it suits me better than it did you." I smiled at him, all he did was roll his eyes at me and laugh as we all carried on walking out of the hotel to go and find a place to eat. I walked with Harry and Kate to the restaurant, "You know Simon has got another bruise just above his eyebrow." Harry said "Is that why he's got his hair flat? Fuck! Well he's your friend why don't you just do something about it?" I asked him "Don't you think we've tried!" He snapped at me "Harry!" Kate snapped at him "Sorry Iris, it's just I don't want to see him get hurt anymore I'm scared that one day I'll find his bruised body." "I won't let that happen Harry, I'll sort this just give me some time." I smiled at him which put him at ease slightly "Thanks Iris, I've never seen Harry that upset before." Kate said quietly "Well as much as I dislike Simon at the moment I'm not prepared to lose someone else that I care about." I admitted to her, we then came to a little restaurant so we all walked in and got the biggest table which was at the back of the restaurant.
(*Time Skip*)
While I was talking to Jack I saw in the corner of my eye Simon wince in pain, "Simon can I speak to you please?" Simon nodded and stood up out of his chair and so did I we then walked round the back of a wall so that no one could see us or hear us talking especially Leah. "Show me your head." I said to him "What do you mean?" He played dumb "Simon show me your head." "There's nothing there just an old bruise that's all you don't need to worry." He said nervously to me "Simon I'm not asking I'm telling." I then watched as Simon carefully pushed up hid fringe that's when I saw the bruise that covered a big part of his head. I sighed heavily and went to go and touch it but Simon pulled away "I'm not going to lose you over this." "I thought you didn't like me?" "Just because I don't like you at the moment doesn't mean that I don't care about you Simon, Harry is scared that he is going to walk in to find your dead bruised body on the floor because of what she's doing to you." I stated "He won't find my body because I'm not going to die." He was adamant "How do you know? Simon all the abuse she has given to you has ended up you going to hospital to get them treatment. Why haven't you pressed charges on her yet?" I asked him "Because I love her." "Do you really think that she loves you when she is beating you to death?" "No." He whispered to me "Exactly, look swap places with me, I'll sit next to her and you sit next to Jack he likes spending time with you." I smiled at him "I don't know Iris." He was cautious "What can she do to you in a restaurant?" "Not the restaurant but when we get back to the hotel that's what I'm worried about." I could see the genuine fear in Simon's eyes and it did scare me as well.
"Look just sit next to Jack and I will sort the rest out when we get back to the hotel." I smiled sweetly at him "Thanks Iris." That was the first time I had seen Simon smile properly without holding something back or having some kind of fear in his eyes, we then both walked back to the table and Simon sat in my chair next to Jack and I sat next Leah, Jack didn't mind sitting next to Simon actually he quite enjoyed it, Leah on the other hand was the complete opposite of what Jack was feeling. Occasionally I would see Leah staring at Simon and I saw that it was making him uncomfortable so he would look away and I smiled at him and he smiled back at me which Leah hated seeing.
