The Boy with the Vans

Chapter 10

-Aaron POV-

I saw her slowly trudge back over to the bed, sitting on the edge with her head in her hands.

I got up quickly and knelt down in front of her trying to look under her hands, earning a smile.

"What's wrong?" I ask slowly.

"It's nothing, I'm fine." she says wiping her tears.

"Iris, you can tell me anything." I say wiping the rest of the tears off of her face.

She puts her hands in my hands and starts out with "It's a long story, but you asked for it.."

-Iris POV-

"It's a long story, but you asked for it.." I said trailing off at the end.

He nods his head knowingly, wanting to know what was making his girl upset.

"Greyson was a new student, I was a new student. We helped each other out as 7th graders. He became my best friend, my backbone, the shoulder I would cry on when my mother would backfire at me for missing a weekend with her and my step siblings. He comforted me in my darkest days.

In the summer of our upcoming 8th grade year we started dating and he became weird. He wouldn't reply to my texts and he would deny all of my calls. I went to investigation one day after school, following him and his friends to a strange looking house. I hid in the bushes while peeking through the window to see what they were doing. I saw some drugs being passes around, and to see that Greyson accepted the offer to get high made me sick. Where was my preppy school boyfriend?

He quickly got suspended in the first weeks of school, making me worry. He broke up with me the most horrible way possible, with another girl. I was walking home from school, giddy from a joke my friend told me when I decided to go to Greyson's house to ask if he wanted to hang out.

His parents don't mind if I just walked in I mean I was practically part of his family, so I slowly trudged upstairs and opened the door to moans and grunts and a quick look from Greyson that said "oh shit" and the girl looked like she came from the curb."

Aaron cringes.

"I slowly closed the door and walked out of that house horrified of what I saw. The sweet Greyson, turning into a I-don't-give-a-what person. It felt like my stomache was cut out and tossed into the dump."

He clutches his stomache and mouthed "ow".

I giggled.

"Well I wouldn't treat you like that." he said sitting next to me and wrapping his arms around me."

I smiled as I sniffed his shirt.

"Um... whatcha doin there.." he says looking down at me.

I laugh as I stand up and walk out of the door.

He slowly follows and then points back to the room, reminding me I need to pack.

"Oh shoot, right." I say slapping myself mentally in my mind.

He helps me pack and I could honestly not ask for a better boyfriend. As we finish packing all of my beauty supplies and clothes, I zip it closed and pat it.

I turn on the TV and of course some lame show is on to ruin my mood.

Bobs Burgers. what the heck?

"Leave it!" he practically screams when I pick up the remote.

I retreat placing the remote down and huff while laying back.
