Skip to 1:59 for the part Iris sings (in the media)
Please watch it, you'll get a better idea in your head of the chapter :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I got to the tracks, Iris was walking along one of the rails.
With her small arms out to balance herself.
And she was singing too.
'I wait for you, babe
You don't come through babe.
You never do babe.
That's what you do.
Cause I'm pretty when I cry.
I'm pretty when I cry
Don't say you need me when
You're leaving, you leave again,
I'm stronger than all my men.
Except for you.
Don't say you need me then
You realize you'll leave again
I can't do it, I can't do it
But you do it best
I'm pretty when I cry.'
"That's a pretty song."
- I was waiting for you.
"I came."
- You didn't come last time.
"My mom dragged me to therapy."
- Oh.
"You look pretty today"
Her pale cheeks turned pink.
It was quite cute.
- Thank you.
"You have a very nice body."
She stopped and looked at me. I saw different emotions flash through her eyes.
- I'm not a charity case, Greyson.
"I never said you were."
- Then stop donating compliments.
"I genuinely think you have a nice body."
- I hate liars.
"Me too."
- Then stop lying!
"I'm not! Why don't you believe me?"
She didn't answer my question. she just shrugged.
- Do you think I'm disgusting?
She bit her lip, her eyes watered.
"No. Why would I think that?"
She flailed her arms.
- My hair is falling out! I'm disgusting! I'm not skinny enough! I look like a goddamn vampire, Greyson! How can you even say I look pretty today?!
I hugged her.
I hugged her little arms and body, and held her head to me.
She started to beat her tiny fists at my chest.
- You're such a liar! I hate liars. I hate them. I hate you, you're a liar!
"Because you are pretty, Iris.
