Chap 4- Philip Toro

From what I remember, I'm pretty damn good at doing makeup.

I did my eyeliner, my eyebrows and contour. I straightened my hair as well. It was cold outside, so I put on a cashmere sweater and fleece leggings. If it wasn't for the scar on my nose and the dark circle under my eyes, I would have looked like a tumble model.

"Iris..." I heard Ashton breathe behind me, and I turned to look at him.

"You look... Breathtaking..." He said, making me smile. I went over to him and kisses his cheek, making him smile.

"I'm not gonna leave you, ya know" I said suddenly, causing his expression to harden.

"How do you know?"

I had to think for a moment to answer.

"People change. I don't know if Philip is the same person anymore. He's one of the only people I remember and it just might help my memory." I chuckled,

"Fuck, I don't know. Just don't worry, Ash."

"You're so confusing," Ashton chuckled, "But I'm here for you no matter what. Okay?"

He kissed my nose, "Okay," I replied.

"Reese, we should leave soon," I heard Piper call from down stairs, making me sigh.

"I'll see you later, okay?" I said to Ashton, and he slowly nodded. I touched his cheek lightly, looking into his eyes, "It's going to be okay. I'll be back soon, don't worry."

He nodded again, then stared at me for a moment, like he wanted to do something.

"What?" I asked him, and he smiled slightly.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked, and I chuckled, then nodded. He grabbed my face and lightly kissed me, smiling into the kiss.

I didn't feel anything.

"Reese, let's go!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming..." I looked down at the floor as I walked away from Ashton towards Piper. She was looking at me weird, be I smiled at her to make it better. She didn't believe my smile, but I gave her a look that said, I'll tell you later.

We both walked downstairs and I said goodbye to the guys, and they all wished me luck with my friend meeting. Piper and I walked out to her truck, then set off to Philip's house.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" She suddenly said when the GPS said that we were half way there.

"I guess, why?" I shrugged, and she shifted in her seat.

"What do you think will happen with you and Ashton?" She ignored my 'why' question. I felt my stomach drop.

"Nothing, why??" I persisted on the 'why'.

"I'm just worried about you. From what I remember, Philip made you worse, and Ashton made you better. You had so many arguments and fights with Philip, fuck, you almost killed yourself because of him! I don't want you to leave Ashton for Philip."

I blinked hard. I don't remember that part of Philip.

We both stayed quiet for a moment. I had heavy thoughts in my head, about Philip and Ashton.

If I met with Philip, would I leave Ashton? Would it help me move on? I have no idea. I'm now scared to see Philip.

"Turn around." I suddenly said, making Piper stare at me for a moment then quickly look back to the road.

"What?"

"Go back home. I don't want to see Philip anymore." I'm scared to see him

"Why?"
