I Depend On You ~Zach Herron~

52

Iris's P. O. V.

The gunshot just missed Jonah's cheek, and went straight to the wall behind him. Jack had tackled Jazmine and kicked the gun away from her while Jonah caught his breathe.

"Corbyn! Where are the police!?" I yelled.

"They're on their way!" Corbyn shouted running up the stairs to look for them.

I took the tape and wrapped it around and around Jazmine's wrists as Jack and Jonah held her still. She screamed and kicked and fought to get free.

"Step away from the girl! Everyone put your hands up!" We all stood up and put our hands into the air, but Jazmine was still on the floor.

"Is this her?" The officer asked Corbyn. He quickly nodded and the officers put handcuffs on Jazmine.

As one of the officers took Jazmine away, the other stayed to ask questions. Mostly for Zach, but then the rest of us.

When we were finally allowed to leave, I never left Zach's side. It was like we were connected at the hip.

"I'm so so so sorry, Iris."

"Don't apologize. It wasn't your fault." I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I know, but I also know how upset you were when I never showed up."

"It's okay. I'm just glad you're okay." I kissed his cheek, but he winced in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry." I frowned looking at the big bruise on his left cheek and the cut across his right eyebrow.

"For someone who says she loves you she sure did hurt you a ton," I said caressing the unbruised part of his face.

"Yeah. But now we don't have to worry about her," he told me pushing a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I'm glad you're okay." I sighed resting my head in the crook of his neck.

"I love you."

"I love you, too." He put his arm around me and pulled me closer.

"I'm so glad that bitch is out of our way for good." Corbyn sighed, making us all laugh.

"Me, too. And I would've killed her if she actually shot Jonah," Jack said.

"That was THE scariest moment of my life," he exclaimed.

"Mine, too," Zach said breathing out.

"But we're all good now. All of the people who have caused trouble are in jail now," Jack said reminding me of Jesse and Cole. I absentmindedly squeezed Zach's arm tightly.

"You okay?" He asked noticing me.

"Yeah, I just started thinking about Cole and Jesse. But Jack's right, they're all gone," I said telling him part of what went through my mind.

We pulled into the driveway and got out of the car, still in shock from the recent events.

"Zach, come to the kitchen so I can fix your face," I said walking through the front door.

"Someone tell Daniel what happened," Jack said. "He should know Jazmine's gone."

"No! Just wait till tomorrow. He's on a date with Kayla and it does not need to be interrupted."

"Okay, okay."

Zach followed me to the kitchen. He jumped up on the island and waited for me. I grabbed an ice pack, a band aid, and some medicine from the cabinet.

"You look so sexy when you're focused," Zach said as I applied the medicine to his eyebrow. I blushed and looked down, but Zach lifted my chin up with his finger.

"Today, when Jazmine tied me up, I really thought I was gonna die. I didn't even know where I was, so I never thought you'd find me."

"I would've never given up on you, babe."

"I know, I just couldn't stop thinking about how you would be so upset when I never showed up. I never want you to be upset because of me."

"And I never want you to be upset because of me. But I've upset you so many times, I feel terrible."

"What are you talking about?"

"Jesse and Jazmine both hurt you so much because of me. They did that to you because you're involved with me."

"But Iri-"

"I know, you're not upset with me. But I still fell horrible. You've almost died twice and it was all because of me," I told him, feeling the tears.

"Look at me. I'm perfectly fine."

"You have bruises all over you!"

"Come here." He patted next to him on the island. I jumped up and sat next to him before he began talking.

"The bruises don't matter. Iris, it's all over. We don't need to worry about them anymore. I may not be physically fine right now, but I'll heal and all that matters is that what they did to me didn't affect how I feel about you."

"I just don't want to hurt you anymore." I said softly.

He brought my face to his and connected our lips. My hands were gentle as they slid up his face and around his neck. I swung my leg around him and straddled him. I slowly pushed him down on the island.

"Guys, really? Can you not make out in the same room that we eat in?" Jack scoffed.

"Let's finish this in our room," Zach whispered sliding off the island.

I blushed and followed Zach up the stairs. I closed the door behind us, then turned around. I saw Zach laying on the bed looking at me with lust in his eyes. I slowly and seductively slipped my dress off and crawled onto Zach.

I unbuckled his belt, pulling off his jeans, and he took off his shirt. I kissed from his stomach, to his chest, up to his lips. He rolled over on top of me, and grinded his hips against mine.

Daniel's P. O. V.

"Oh my gosh, Kayla come here!" I yelled from her bed. She came running in from the bathroom, ready for the tea to be spilled.

"Jazmine kidnapped Zach, so he missed his date with Iris and the guys and Iris found him using find my iPhone. Jazmine was going crazy and she shot a gun at Jonah, but completely missed. And now Jazmine is in jail," I told her.

"Finally! That girl pissed me off so much."

"Yeah, I remember."

"I'm sorry, I had to beat her ass."

"It was the sexiest thing I had ever seen." I smirked.

"Really?" She smirked back.

"Oh yeah. It was so hot."

"You know what I think is so hot?" She said putting one hand on my shoulder. She put the other on my knee, and slowly moved it up my thigh.

"What?" My voice cracked from getting nervous.

"When your voice cracks when I touch you." She winked pushing me back on her bed and kissing me.
