ʟᴀꜱᴛ ᴋɪꜱꜱ - ᴊᴏʜɴɴʏ ᴋᴀᴠᴀɴᴀɢʜ

𝐈𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐄𝐕𝐄 was a 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 girl,
she was the sweetest soul with the saddest story.
she smiled with her eyes and laughed too loud,
but behind closed doors,
she was fighting so many battles everyday and no one could see.

abuse.
fear.
the loneliness always came back.
home was never safe.
and 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞?
she didn't know what that meant.

until 𝐣𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐤𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐡.

he was steady where she was fragile.
safe where she was scared.
and when her world felt like it was crashing down again and again-
he held her through everything.
he never asked her to be perfect.
just honest.
just her.

what started as childhood friendship turned into quiet protection, secret glances, and 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 in its softest, prettiest form.

but when secrets unravel and iris can't keep lying to everybody in her life-
can 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 really save a girl who's been breaking since she was just a little girl?
