ⁱʳˡ, ⁱᵐᵉˢˢᵃᵍᵉ, ⁱⁿˢᵗᵃ !
the next morning, it was quite awkward. now that everyone was up to date, things were weird.
i was in the kitchen with olivia making some cereal, when chris walks in. we only make eye contact because i snatch my bowl and eat upstairs in my room. i hear him sigh before i leave though.
DMS !

"IRIS FUCKING CRUZ" i hear nick yell from downstairs. my eyes widen in fear as my door slams open revealing nick, and matt. "WHERES MY GIRAFFE HAT. I CHERISHED THAT HAT. I LOVED IT LIKE IT WAS MY SON." nick yells.
"i gave it to chris" i shrug, not wanting to talk to him.
"WELL YOU CAN GO GET IT FROM HIM THEN." he stomps his foot down. my face falls a little, and it looks like matt notices.
"i dont think she wants to-" matt tells nick, but nick cuts him off.
"consider this your punishment." he crosses his arms.
"fine." i sigh before walking to the living room, seeing chris. "wheres nicks giraffe hat?" i ask, bluntly.
"oh you can talk to me now?" chris asks, not looking at her.
"no. well yes. but im being forced. against my will. wheres the fucking hat." i ask again.
"its in your car." he says. i nod, but before i walk out the door, he stops me. "iris." he says, i turn around slowly, confused. he stares at me for a few seconds, looking like hes trying to say something but cant. "nevermind." he shakes his head. i sigh and go on a hunt for that damn hat.
"here." i say, throwing him his hat, and he gasps. dramatically.
"oh my GOD." he puts it on straight away, taking a picture. "dont try and take jimmy again." he says, glaring at me.
"jimmy? you named the hat?" i ask, about to laugh.
"whats wrong with that. hmph." he sighs and walks upstairs, leaving me and matt. i look around my house, noticing how messy it is. i turn to matt smirking.
"you want that appreciation post right?" he nods. "help me clean then." i say whilst throwing him a mop.
"wha-" he tries to deny but i just throw him a bucket too. "fine." he sighs.
"dont worry. im a fun person to clean with." i smirk and connect my phone to a speaker, playing some music.
"i could tell you didnt really wanna talk to chris. sorry you had to." matt says whilst mopping the floor. my eyebrows raise.
"no its fine. i know how nick gets. thank you, for trying though." i smile.
"no problem. how did it go though?" he asks.
"we didnt really talk. everytime i look at him i see us together. its weird. i cant talk to him until im over him. its the only way." matt sees how sad i get.
"its alright. sometimes things arent meant to be. im sure you'll find someone else." he attempts to comfort me.
"yeah, i hope. i need a distraction asap." i laugh. "thanks for helping." i say and he nods.
an hour later, we were done. quicker than expected.
"woah." matt says, looking around. "we did great to be honest." he nods, proud of himself.
"its amazing how clean my house can get when im pissed off." i agree with him.

"hey, wanna go to starbucks real quick? i'll get matt to take us." i ask olivia.
"sure, im bringing rome though." she says, and i nod.
"MATTHEWWW" I yell swinging my arm around his door frame. "can you drive me and-" i stop as i see chris. i glare at him for a few seconds before turning back to matt. "can you drive me, liv and rome to starbucks?" i ask politely.
"I WANNA COME" i hear nick yells from behind me.
"lets just all go." chris shrugs. i roll my eyes and walk out.
"ill never understand why youre so weird rome." i say to him as he stares at me.
"and ill never understand why you and chris cant d-" olivia slaps her hand over his mouth before he can say anything else. my eyes widen at him as he smirks.
"asshole." i give him my middle finger.
"whose staying in the car?" matt asks. chris and rome raise their hands. "the rest of you, get out." matt says.
"wow thanks for being so kind matt!" i reply sarcastically.
"youre welcome!" he yells as i shut the door.
as we're ordering, i hear someone say my name from behind me.
"oh my god, iris is that you?" someone asks from behind. i turn around, recognising the voice. my mouth drops slightly.
"oh my god sam? what the hell!" i yell with a smile on my face as i hug him. "its been so long dude!" i slap his arm. me and sam we're close friends a couple years ago. like. very close. then he moved to Chicago.
"yeah, it has. you look so different." he says, admiring my features. "in a good way, i mean. i mean you look pretty. good. pretty good." he chuckles.
"thank you, ill tell you now, i didnt miss your blonde hair." we laugh.
"sam? huh?" olivia says walking up to us after going to the bathroom.
"olivia, its nice to see you." he says.
"likewise." she replies. theyve always been blunt with eachother, its weird.
"so where are you guys staying?" sam asks.
"well i have my own house now, and a couple friends are staying over right now." i mention.
"right, right. well, text me the address so i can come by soon?" he asks.
"you dont have my number yet." i state the obvious.
"right. could i..?" he asks, nervous.
"of course. give me your phone." he hands it to me and i save my number into his phone. "well it was nice seeing you. call me later." i go in for another hug, but instead i hear a horn from outside. "thats us. bye!" was the last thing i say before dragging olivia and nick out.
"sorry, chris decided to honk the fucking horn." matt says as we get into the car, turning to glare at chris who seemed mad.
"who was that guy you were talking to iris?" chris asks. my eyebrows raise in surprise.
"doesnt concern you..?" i question him.
"yes it does." he says it like its obvious.
"no.. no it doesnt." i talk back.
"why doesnt it?" he huffs.
"because it doesnt!" i raise my voice, getting annoyed with him.
"okay! enough bickering, please!" nick says, also annoyed. "if you really want me to, ill pay for your couple therapy!" he outbursts. mine and chris's eyes both widen.
"nick shut the fuck up."
"dude, shut up." we both say at the same time.
olivia and rome sit back and enjoy this like its a reality tv show, and matt, well matt just wants to get back to the house. as soon as he pulls up, im out the door, chris behind me.
"iris, wait." he says from behind me, but i dont wait. i run up to my room slamming the door on him, but i dont hear the slam. he stops it from slamming and walks in, shutting it behind him.
"get out, please." i ask nicely.
"no, we need to talk." he shakes his head.
"youve already done enough talking." i scoff.
"whats that supposed to mean?" his face scrunches. "i was just being honest!" he raises his voice a little.
"yea, did you really have to be that honest?" i yell back.
"yes! what did you want me to lie to you and tell you that i did have feelings for you? no!" he says.
"was this all just a joke to you?" i ask.
"kind of! i didnt think it meant anything-"
"of course it meant something!" i cut him off. "to me anyway." i say in a low tone. "everytime i look at you, i feel alone. its too late to fix things, chris. so please, dont talk to me until im ready to talk to you again." his face is full of guilt when he sees the hurt on my face as i walk out of the room.
word count; 1937
