IRIS

IT WAS almost back to school and that christmas break will be over, everyone going back to hell. and not to mention me and ally will be finishing the rest of the year here in berkshire. not gonna lie i am scared. terrified might be a better description to what i was currently feeling. imagine being the talk of the school with conversations starting with "why would they decide to transfer in the middle of the school year." or the fact that they could give us glares for some shit i dont know. stop overthinking iris.

but aside from that, me and max have been closer than ever. same goes with ally and harvey because holy shit they're fucking dating! they decided to keep their relationship private and lowkey. the only ones who knew were me, max, our families, dobby, dylan and tom. no one else, this is for the sake of ally not possibly being hated on by the fandom. but enough of the two and well yeah me and max, we were closer. infact during the whole break there was already constant flirting happening between us. cuddles here and there, kisses on the forehead and cheeks were also shown.

BUT we never came to the point of saying the BIG THREE. even if it was directed to the friendship we had. we just both felt like saying it was a big promise or something that shouldn't be misused.

i then heard a knock on the door and went to get it. only to find ally. "hey whats up?" i smiled as i let her in. "nothing really im just bored and i need company." we both ended up laughing. "oh hey ally." andre smiled earning a simple "hi" back from her.

"hey we need to talk." i pulled her up to my room and closed the door. "im scared." i started. "im scared to go back to school. what if we become the talk of the school. you know im not used to those shit. having all the attention on me." i said lying down on my bed. "iris calm down, im scared too. you've been my best friend ever since we were in our mom's wombs. whatever you will go through, i will do as well." she said pulling me to sit up and giving me a tight hug. "wanna call the boys up for a movie night to calm your head? maybe this can be your chance to let max know how you feel." she said smirking.

"sure let's call them over BUT i don't like max like that. not in that way." i said looking away from her. "oh really now? then look me in the eye and tell me you don't." she tried testing me. "okay fine i dont know what i feel for max okay? like holy shit he got my mind all messed up it's driving me insane ally!" i replied groaning. "talk to him about it, i will bet you a whole bucket of ice cream that he likes you back." i quickly nodded my head. "are you crazy? that's impossible. he is too good for me. and besides, i was a fan. as if he would want to date a fan. to be specific, a fan like me who looks like absolutely shit." i said with a sigh. she ended up flicking my head off and we erupted in a fit of laughter. we're so weird.

the boys came, and after the talk i had with ally i was now starting to get nervous around max. "hey bub you alright?" he asked pulling me close once we were all seated down on the sofa. "uhh y-yeah im fine." i tried my best to hide my awkwardness towards him. "you know you can talk to me about anything right?" i can see him looking at me but i couldn't bring myself to look at him. "bub, look at me." thats it. i looked at him. for some unknown reason he has this control over me. i always end up giving in to whatever he says. here i was looking at him straight in the eye. "bub, talk to me. what's bothering you?" he asked with his pleading eyes. i sighed before i curled up into his chest even more. i took his hand in mine and started to draw small circles at the back of his hand.

"im scared. im scared of what my future will bring. i dont know im overthinking again im sorry. my mind's messed up."

MAX

IF THERE'S one thing i realized tonight, it's the fact that i learn something new about iris everyday. by now she was starting to open up about what's bothering her. and as she was saying that she was scared of what her future could hold, i couldn't help but feel like i need to show her the assurance she needed.

"hey bub, its okay. dont ever apologize because you feel something. and i know the future could be scary but i will be there with you every step of the way. our friendship may have only collided for a few weeks but i have no regrets in it. so whatever shit you will face in the future, expect me to face that shit too." she looked up at me and i smiled at her.

she once again placed her head on my chest and squeezing my hand tighter. "what did i even do to deserve you. you're too good for me." she whispered assuming i didn't hear it. but i did.

"no i'm not too good for you. you're the one who's too good for me. and you deserve me just as i deserve you." i said not looking at her but i know she heard it. i know she did. because her grip on me became tighter. i know she didn't want to let go. i didn't want to let go either. i will never let her go.
