Waking up to another so gorgeous morning my head was killing me, oh yeah Phil happened. Like I must be on crack or something yesterday letting random people in my house and shit. Shaking my thoughts away I started to walk to my dresser to get some clothes. Pulling out a sweater with the tri-force on it, black skinny jeans, and blue socks I nodded to myself. Grabbing a bra with underwear I unwillingly walked to my shower to take a shower.
Undressing out of my pajamas while turning on the water I stare at myself in the mirror. Seeing myself frowning from all the broken memories no one can fix or replace. My emerald green eyes that won't ever shine as bright as they used to, my skin that never healed completely, my lips that were mashed up and splattered with blood more than once, but most of all my teeth that won't ever be all mine or even white. Remembering all the reasons why I left my house so fast and practically ran away still running from all the bad thoughts that continue to haunt me everyday. Also remembering why I let those strange guys into my house last night. Cause for one they helped me forget slightly and I need to be a normal human being with friends. But mostly because they are super nice which was odd for me since most people are mega bitches like seriously I didn't take your fucken candy shut the fuck up people. Sighing I decided to make a decision I always do change my hair since I'm changing a part of my life. Getting into the shower will quick letting the hot water drop on my back and crash to the floor.
After my shower just putting on clothes not caring if they get wet I hurriedly went outside with some money, phone, and key. Walking outside after locking up I started to practically bolt for a taxi. About 10 minutes later giving up and walking listening to my gps on my phone to tell me the closest store so I can change my hair.
Finally after dragging my feet to the dumb store looking down different aisles I found the perfect one for me. Just staring at it I picked it up and paid walking back home.
- After color changes -
Drying off and getting back into my clothes while brushing my hair I looked myself in the mirror and smiled slightly. But I wasn't perfect yet not until I remembered something very important, my babies. Looking for my bag I saw my piercing and pulled out 2 black rings and 2 blue rings. Staring at the mirror I slipped them in and placed them perfectly, how could I forget to put them in after the plane, smiling now happy I looked good. My now deep blue hair at the top and green at the bottom hair with my piercing back it felt more right, but not at home.
Yawning I blowed dried, brushed, and let my hair go free. Checking the time my eyes widened "When the hell did I wake up it's only 10!!" Growling at myself for not checking the time when I woke up. "Ugh might as well get coffee." Walking over to my kitchen I realized I had nothing to make coffee. Growling again in frustration I grabbed some money and started to take the long walk to that little coffee shop down the street.
The unfamiliar, but familiar in a way, streets glided all around me as I walk on the cement pathway. Still new to this place I just wanted to get my coffee, some groceries, and maybe go somewhere to try and make friends. Nodding to the thought it was the only plan I really had. Seeing my new coffee place in the background I started walking faster can't wait to smell the aroma.
Just about to open the clear beautiful door my phone started to ring. Not checking it just answering quickly so I can get inside.
"Hello?" Asking questionably.
"Hey you still up for some coffee? Sorry again about your head I didn't mean to hurt you." Strong British accent came out sweetly making me instantly recognize their voice.
"It's fine Phil really. Yeah I just got to the coffee shop see you soon." With some excitement escaping my voice I couldn't help but admit he was pretty cute and so innocent looking.
Walking inside, finally, the smells hit me fast perfectly again. "Hey Iris!" A voice boomed over to me from across the room. "Pj!" Screaming to him he leaped over the counter smiling towards me. Walking towards me fastly we hugged. "Couldn't stay away from this place huh?" Jokingly I slightly pushed his arm, "Well I mean it's the best place ever!" Laughing he took my order and paid for me like a gentleman.
Sitting beside me since no one was there, like usual, he pointed at my sweater. "I love the sweater!" Giggling it was my all time favorite game series ever! "Really? This is just like my life in a game form!" "I see! Did you put piercings in? You also changed your hair didn't you! It's like an electric blue now, it really brings out your eyes I like it." Giggling once again I nodded. "Do you like?" Grabbing my hand gently he opened his mouth as I stared into his beautiful eyes and then-
"Iris!" Turning around Phil was in the doorway staring right at Pj. Getting up away from me, Pj, Phil walked over and put his arm around me. Like what is that, seriously, what are they doing? I'm just trying to have a nice time. Suddenly Phil and Pj were talking quietly away from me. Are they even talking or trying to creep me out? What the hell I just wanted coffee. Shrugging it off I just laughed awkwardly and snorted really loud. "OOPS! Uhhhh that's embarrassing.... Anyways let's have that coffee Pj!" Nodding he turned away to get his pal some coffee.
- Pj's POV -
Getting Phil coffee I couldn't help but feel a turn into my stomach. Knots being formed by invisible ropes being tugged by tiny monsters. Stabbing deeply into my brain again and again. I've never has this feeling before but it hurt and definitely wasn't good. Not a feeling I've ever wanted to feel but just seeing Phil lightly touch Iris's hand to get a piece of her muffin irritates me and sends a flame to burn my heart into stone. Seeing him freak out over her irritates me to no end. He gets everything cause he's so 'innocent' but really why her. I know I just met her and all but I really like her... I mean just her mind set is just like mine... Plus not many people actually know who Link is!
- Iris's POV -
Laughing at Phil he was quite innocent that it was cute. Just mentioning the word sex might make him turn red and I love that.
"Hey Phil, want to come back to mine?" Really can't help but want to get to know him more I feel like he'd be a really good friend.
"Sure!" Excitedly he ran to the coffee shop door and made it fly open like a bird and their wings. Smiling like a 5 year old just chuckling as I took my time to get up and walk towards the door. About to leave I turned to Pj and waved bye to my new friend.
You know usually it takes me so long to make friends but ever since I was little anyone I ever met told me I never belonged with them. I knew I didn't but I think I'm finding where I actually do belong now. In my dream place England with these bunch of weird guys I never met before but already treat me like long life best friends.
Walking out the door with Phil I got this warm sensation in my cheeks as I watched him awkwardly walk down the street a bit ahead of me.
Seeing behind him noticing me behind him he just stopped dead in his tracks and then grabbed my hand suddenly. My cheeks burning more as our hands intertwined. Smiling down at me so innocent thinking nothing of it and he started to skip all pull me with him. Laughing sadly but also happily skipping with the pale boy beside me a part of me did hurt slightly. Why are these feelings happening now? I never felt this way before... But it's probably just what friends do right? Sighing at my own thoughts I didn't know what it was.
Still skipping my heart started to pound more and more but not from the skipping and I knew that. Reaching my apartment stopped skipping but him still holding my hand. Blushing hard he realized and blushed as well. His eyes looking away but his face still towards me while slightly biting his bottom lip. Just in an odd second I could swear that he glanced at me before I started to pull us to my home.
Awkwardly walking up the steps, after getting inside the small lobby, and up towards the second floor. Stopping in front of the door pulling out my key with one hand that I wear as a necklace. Unlocking the door slowly trying to debate if I keep holding his hand or not. Going for it I just opened the door and walked inside him beside me now as I turned on the lights. Door closed from him scared he will realize how boring my apartment is more even though he's already seen it.
"So what do you want to do?" Asking me in a soft voice slightly awkward but cute.
Could I be getting emotions for him?
"How about we get into pajamas, play some games, and watch movies. Oh and we can get take out!" Nodding I headed towards my room unwillingly letting go of his hand.
Walking into my room and closing the door hurringly going to my dresser. Picking out my cute blue pajama long bottoms with white clouds all over them. My "Stay Cloudy -Jc Caylen" tank top and pulling it on. Pulling off my skinny jeans I heard the door open as I was bending over. Then a loud squeaky "Sorry!" before the foot closing. Pulling on my pajama bottoms and heading out the door he was sitting there on the floor by the door.
"I'msosorryIdidn'tmeantowalkin! IwasjusttryingtoaskifyouhadpajamabottomsIcouldborroworsomething." Covering his mouth giggling slightly just blowing it off.
"Phil calm down it's alright you didn't mean to. Yes I might have a pair that could fit you and a comfier shirt if you want?" Nodding silently I went back in and pulled out my large lion tee, black sweatpants with little stars on them since they had adrawstring, and then even grabbed my lion throw blanket.
Going back out I handed him the clothes while I went to the living room starting to set up my game systems. I wonder which ones he would like...
Running out to me he had the biggest smile and jumped like a child beside me. "How did you know I love lions?! The shirts a bit small, well so are the sweatpants, but I love the shirt!" "Holy shit you love lions as well?!" Exclaiming to him while freaking out slightly. "They are my favorite animal!" Yelling at the same time from excitement I jumped into his arms and he wrapped his arms around me while we laughed.

Just in his arms made me feel so comfortable it was insane and I couldn't stop smiling. Pulling back tripping on his foot falling backwards he caught me his face super close to mine. Noses touching both of us surprised, awkward, shy, and innocent to this. What do I do next? Stuttering towards him I wanted to, no needed to, know something. "P-Phil d-do you l-like me?"
