Andy's pov
I leap over to her and grab the hand that was holding her blade. "No!" she cried fighting against my hold on her hand. I look at the other one and see blood start to come out. I put my knees on either side of her legs and I take her weapon out of her hand and throw it into the near by trash can. I look back at her and I stand up. I step out of the tub and walk out of the bathroom. My breathing is ragged and not even. That's when I hear footsteps closing in on me. I feel a fist collide with my back and then another. I turn around and she starts to punch my chest. I'll admit that it hurt a bit but, she was too tired to put all of her strength behind the punches. I let her hit me a few more times but I grab her wrists and she fights against me with tears pouring down her face. "Iris, stop." I say calmly. She finally does and I look at her wrist and see that it wasn't even hardly bleeding. It was more of a kitty scratch which I was happy for. I look back at her and she looks up at me. "I told you not to do that again." "I don't care what you said. I'm a failure that's fat, pathetic, worthless--" I stop her short by dropping her arms and cupping her face in my hands. "You're none of those things. You got that?" she only looks away. I hesitate but I drop my hands. She looks at me and I walk out. I lay in bed and I let a few tears slip from my eyes. I fall asleep after a while right into a dreamless sleep.
--Next Morning--
I stumble out of my bed and I take a shower. Once I get done, I put on my black skinny jeans and a KISS shirt. I walk out tired as ever. I fell asleep last night but I tossed and turned every time I would wake up. I hear laughing from down stairs and I see Destery with a piece of bacon in between his upper lip and his nose. He talks in a weird voice about something to do about getting enough vitamins. I smile a little bit, then I see Iris. She has a plain red V-neck t-shirt and a pair of short black shorts. She's smiling and puts her hand on her hip and flips a pancake with the other. I blush when I see her but she doesn't notice. I walk to the living room and turn the tv on. I put on a hockey game and smile a bit when Iris walks in. She smiles slightly and says, "I made some food." she stands there as I stand up we walk to the kitchen and as I get food, Destery continues to make us all laugh.
The next 4 days are pretty much the same thing. Too bad we go on tour in a week.
Iris's pov
The moment of me and Andy's fight in his room kept replaying in my head. His lips were so close to mine and I wasn't really nervous. I didn't have any sort of flash back. So why didn't I? Because some one actually wanting to kiss me was terrifying. I sit in the basement on the couch and pull my phone out. When it unlocks the end of Bare Bones blares through my speakers. I squeak and pause it but I giggle a little. I remember CC and Ashley saying that they were going to take Des out for ice cream, Jinxx and Jake went to go visit their girl friends, so it was only Andy and me in the house, but he was in his room. I smile and hit play on the next song.
You know I love it when your hair's pulled back
Oh it drives me crazy
You know I love it when you look like that
Tell me what you wanna do yeah
I smile as I sing and hit Kellin's every note. I get to "Put your hands on my chest because it might get rough," I see Andy out of the corner of my eye. I turn and face him, not stopping my singing. He walks over to me and I blush really hard. By the end of the song he's standing in front of me then Lost In Stereo comes on he pulls me by hand and makes me stand up. I have to look up at him to see his face because of how close we were. He moves his lips to my ear and whispers, "Beautiful, just beautiful..." he trails off and I smile.
