Iris's P. O. V.

I woke up to my alarm, and groaned as I slid out of bed. I quickly changed into some comfortable clothes, braided my hair in two braids, brushed my teeth, and packed all of my stuff.

I didn't have a car taking me to the airport, so I got an Uber. I double checked that I had everything packed, then went downstairs.

*skip flight*

Once I landed and grabbed my luggage, my mom texted me saying she'd be here soon.

I also had a text from Jack. It said that he hoped I had a safe flight, and that he's looking forward to seeing me again.

"Iris!" I heard my mom yell. I walked over to her and gave her a big hug.

"So how'd it go?" She asked as we walked to the car.

"Really good. I signed with the record company, and I hung out with Jack and his band," I told her.

"Yeah, I saw the video on your instagram. I'm so glad that you're friends again."

"Yeah. Oh, the guys suggested that I moved in with them. I need to move to L. A. anyways. It'd be easier, and I'm sure you'd be comfortable, if I was living with them rather than by myself."

"So my only baby is gonna leave the nest?" She said wiping a fake tear.

I tried to smile at her attempt at a joke, but I couldn't.

When I got home, I started working on my music. I had gotten into it and didn't realize I had been working for hours.

When I check my phone for the time, I saw I had two texts from an unknown number.

I put Zach's name as the contact, and smiled as I put my phone down to start working on my music again.

"Is Cole coming over?" I asked walking to the kitchen to help with dinner.
