Waking up with the sheets stained and your pyjamas stained, isn't something one would wish for. I had to do a five minute laundry before going to take a shower. And yes, Luca never replied. So I am extremely pissed.
Walking out of the bathroom, I walk to my closet took out my granny panties, a big hoodie and sweatpants. I didn't even bother putting on a bra, I put on a bralette instead.
Looking in the mirror, I sighed loudly. Today was going to be very exciting.
*Note the sarcasm.*
I gather my hair in a rough bun and apply a little lip balm. Walking to the kitchen, I frown when I don't see anyone in there. No breakfast this morning, I guess.
Opening one of the cupboards, I take out a cereal before bringing out milk from the fridge.
I take out a bowl and spoon before turning the cereal into the bowl, not caring as most of it spilled out of th
"There you go," He says after I start to breathe normally. I look up only to be met with striking blue eyes and a soft smile. "Hey there" He says, hands still rubbing softly at my back. "Thank you" I say earnestly to him. "How di-" I was about to ask how he knew I was having a panic attack but was interrupted by Luca squatting down to pick me up in bridal style. I immediately start to struggle. He has no right to touch me after ignoring my existence for two days. "Get your hands off me Luca" I growl at him, hitting my hands on his chest. *More like brick wall* "Thanks man." His deep voice says to the Zeek, who practically just saved me. "Anytime bro, we all know how much of a dick Jake is." Zeek says to Luca, both of them still ignoring my struggles. He enters into the same class the 'Jake' was j
I was filled up, literally. No, not that type of 'filled up', I mean food. Since Luca decided that he didn't want to use his car today, and instead figured out that he wanted his bad boy bike, we had to stroll to the nearby park to eat our meal. And after that we chilled for a few minutes, since the lunch hour wasn't over yet, before we headed back to the school. Once we reach the almost deserted hallways of the school, I hear a loud voice behind us and I look back to see it was the same guy who saved me earlier on. "Hey, man," He say, giving Luca a bro-hug when he reached us. Looking at him now, I wasn't surprised at the ridiculous amount of tattoos he also had. He was an Inch or two shorter than Luca. With dark blonde hair, wearing a blue hoodie, shorts and sneakers. Another guy, standing suddenly appeared beside Zeek and
I step out of my doorstep this morning in a rush, as always after receiving a text from Luca that he was outside my house. My eyes almost came out of their sockets at what was parked at my driveway. A freaking truck. Luca has a freaking truck. As I walk to his truck, I slow down a bit, checking him out for a moment, soaking in his appearance. There he stood, leaning against his truck, tattoos and piercings. All mine. He's wearing a black hoodie(as always), I trail my eyes to his lower body and I'm met with black shorts which showed off the tattoos decorating his calf and legs, he topped everything off with a pair of black sneakers. Finally, I met his eyes and they already had a mischievous glint in them, making me roll my eyes. I reached his huge form leaning against his truck, giving him a hug and smiling into his chest when he wrapped his
As I walk out of the school's building, I hear my name being called behind me and I turn back only to be met with Jordan who was obviously trying to catch up with me. How fast do I walk tho? With these short legs of mine, I have to jog-walk beside Luca. Jordan finally reaches where I'm standing, whose cheeks tinted red, panting with exertion. "Hey Iris." He says, his lips stretching with a smile. Cute. "Hey Jordan, what's up?" I smile back, gripping the straps of my backpack tightly. "Uhmm, I was wondering if you'd be up to go to a little Cafe I know and study for our project..." He asks, and I purse my lips thinking about it for a minute, "It's a five minutes walk from here, I promise and it all depends on if you're willing to go today." He interjects immediately he sees the look on my face. "Uhh, sur
I wake up today with a bright smile on my face, thankfully it's still early. I walk to my closet to bring out a black sleeved shirt, a black ripped boyfriend jeans and a pair of matching black bra and panties. I step into the bathroom, put my dirty clothes in the hamper before sighing loudly. Two more days to go Iris, I sigh before going to grab another pad. Stepping out of the hot shower really became a real struggle, but soon I was out. Already rushing to dry myself off and apply body lotion. I put on my outfit, apply a little makeup which consisted of eyeliner and lipgloss before styling my curls in a high ponytail. I top my look today with a pair of black vans before picking up my phone to see two texts messages, one from Luca and the other from Tasha both saying they were going to come pick me up in fifteen minutes' time.
Soon enough, AP English arrives and I step into the class a few minutes before the teacher arrives. The first thing I see when I step into the classroom is a mop of wavy brown hair, focusing intently on a book on his desk. Jordan. As if sensing my gaze on him, he raises his head up from his book and sends me a wide smile as I walk over to him. Just as I walk closer to him, I hear snickers and giggles of girls around me, but I brush it off thinking they were probably laughing at something else. Because I was a nobody here. "Hey Jordan, I'm so so sorry for what happened last night." I rush out all in one breath. Grimacing at the memory of last night. "Luca is a bit of a hot head." He laughs nervously, "But I understand, I mean if I have a girlfriend as beautiful as you I'd get upset when I see her getting ice cream with some other guy." He lau
11 YEARS AGO, THANKSGIVING, 2010. I sat on my little chair close to my pink vanity mirror, looking at my Mama's reflection in the mirror, whose eyes are trained on my hair and whose hands work skillfully to get my thick curls done right. Most families were and are happy by this time, sitting on the dining chair, eating roasted turkey and any Thanksgiving dish of their choice, just like us. Mama's warm voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "All done baby, you look so beautiful." Her smooth voice says, wrapping around me like a warm blanket. I take time to admire her features, her skin brown like mine. Bryson took a little of Papa's skin which is a bit darker than that of Mama and I. My features are a mix of the both of them, my small nose, full lips and brown eyes from mama and my thick brows and dimples from my Dad. She k
I wake up immediately, with a few drops of perspiration on my face, my heart beating rapidly as if trying to come out of my chest. I wipe my palm over my forehead, my mind screaming for Bryson to be here with me right now. I needed Bryson. I walk downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of cold water, before releasing that it was morning already. I go back to my room, hurriedly take a shower before dressing up and going back downstairs to make breakfast. I make for just myself since uncle Tyson isn't up yet. After that I decide to binge watch Power Book, catching up on all the episodes I missed. An hour later, uncle Tyson comes downstairs, "Good morning, Uncle Ty. Pancakes or scrambled eggs?" I ask, smiling widely at him, as I stand up to go to the kitchen. "Morning, Iris." He yawns, "Scrambled eggs pl
FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE SCENE. IRIS' POV When my acceptance letter from University of Washington to study Neuropsychology came in, I had been so freaking excited that I forgot all about the distance. We both forgot about the distance. Then, Luca's acceptance letter from southern Utah university to study English literature came in and we both realised that our relationship would be taking a huge turnover. We both had this conversation when his letter came in and now we're having it again. I stare at the dorm in front of me with a sigh. A muscled arm wraps around my shoulder. "You're gonna be okay." "I don't know…." He spins me around so I'm facing him and tips my face up, our gazes lock. "We're going to be o
(Author's note: This chapter and the next are mainly bonus chapters (because I love my readers so much). They are going to consist of Iris and Luca's lives after their high school graduation.)FIRST SEX SCENE.IRIS' POVIt's been months – a span of three months, precisely, ever since the Erik incident which landed me in the hospital. Within those months, Luca has refused to have sex with me.Apart from the occasional touches here and there and lustful gazes from both of us, nothing. Well….I wouldn't really say we haven't done anything at all. We've engaged in other…... minimal sexual activities, that's just about it.Anytime I ask him why he doesn't want to have sex with me, I get a "You're not ready, yet." From him and it makes my hand itch to whack him on his head. 
IRIS' POV I turn back to see what has him confused, only to be met with Erik pointing a gun at me. I bite my lips hard as I feel the impact of a bullet on my right shoulder before I even hear the sound of the gunshot ringing through the air. I hold my right shoulder in pain and I groan as my legs give out under me. I watch as Luca stands still before he runs to me, I sigh softly as his warm strong arms engulf me and slowly lower me to the floor. I can hardly focus on the excruciating pain on my shoulder which has almost numbed my body as I watch his face contort with fear and his mouth spew out harsh words. The loud ringing in my head, accompanied by the pounding footsteps and shouting of people wouldn't cease. The sound of gunshots being fired and the loud blaring siren coming from w
IRIS' POVI'm still strapped to the chair. I feel weak and dehydrated, due to the fact that I haven't eaten and I'm thirsty. My face hurts from the slap I received from Erik when he came back and we exchanged some harsh words. I can still feel the dried blood on my lips.I look blankly at the door when it opens, only to present Asher."Great. Another asshole." I mumble even with the rag in my mouth.He gives me a creepy smile. "That's funny."He steps closer and trails a finger on my arm. I curse inwardly as his finger makes contact with my bare skin. I almost gag at the look on his face."You have such beautiful skin.."I glare at him as I struggle on the chair.He notices my struggle and he smiles. "Aw, po
IRIS' POV The pounding of my head wakes me up. I groan as I open my eyes, my Iris trying to adjust to the light. I look around my surroundings, only to find nothing but a dark room and one door. My heart starts to race when I realise that I'm strapped to a chair and a rag is shoved in my mouth. I snap my head to the side when the big door is pushed open. The person that walks in makes my eyes widen with fear and surprise. "Asher?" I question but it comes out muffled. "Hello, Iris." He smiles innocently. I shout and send curses his way behind the gag shoved in my mouth. He nods his head towards me and immediately a guy ( that I don't know) steps forward and removes the rag.
IRIS' POVIt's been a week since the incident and I feel fucking miserable. I want to take my actions back.When I left Luca that night, I called Luke to come pick him up after explaining to him and Tasha that I broke up with him. Tasha took my to her house where I sobbed to my heart content. I still haven't told her the real reason I broke up with Luca.The following week at school has been awful. The whole school knows we're not together anymore and it hasn't been easy. Chelsea and her minions have decided to make my life a living hell and I cowered anytime I saw them coming my way. Tasha has been a great friend, she stood by me when Chelsea cornered me in the bathroom. She stuck with me when I refused to speak to anyone.Luca hasn't been in school. And I was gob-smacked in the face when I saw him sitting on our table. 
LUCA'S POVAfter Erik walks out, Luke and I walk to Lilian who has Emerald cleaning up the blood by the side of her mouth."You okay?" I ask, a permanent scowl on my face.She nods her head as she stands up."I'm fine," she smiles softly before pointing to point she just got up from. "Sit. So I can tend to your wounds.""I'm okay." I grunt out.Luke looks at me unsurely but I nod my head at him in assurance."What the hell was that all about?" Luke asks sitting down close to Lilian."I don't know," Emerald sniffs. "He just came in all of a sudden and mum got pissed. They exchanged words and I think mum strucked a nerve, so he hit her."I growl and Luke curses ou
LUCA'S POV.Iris has been acting strange. It feels like she's avoiding me and wants to get away from me as far as possible.She feels disconnected. I've tried all I can and nothing is working. She always seems so lost in her thoughts and I'm worried. And at the same time it feels like she never wants to leave my side. I'm lost.So it came as a great shock to me when she suggested a date night tonight."I think we've both been stressing out a lot and I want us to have the evening to ourselves." She said when she saw the confusion on my face."I think that's a great idea, baby," I told her softly as she tightened her hand on my waist and pressed her face into my chest.I'm walking out of the underground fighting club after hours of practice when I receive a text from
It's Saturday and I finally made up my mind over the night. I'm going to meet up with the sender of the mysterious letter.Once it's 11:50 I leave the house with a hood over my head. I take the short trek to the park.My heart is beating at what I'm about to do. My mind reels at what would happen if I meet the mysterious person.As I reach the park, I receive a text on my phone from a private number.PRIVATE NUMBER: GO UNDER THE SHADE OF THE TREE TO YOUR RIGHT.I look to my right to see the tree Luca and I always stay under whenever we come to the park. We sweaty hands and shaky feet. I walk there only to see a man in a suit, facing away from me."Uhm, h-hello?" I say but it comes out as in a shaky breath. And I mentally face-palm myself.
