Shadows-chapter 14

Chapter 14

Iris’ POV
We never saw Donovan again after he left. I knew how he felt. I knew he felt terrible seen Zelda and Gerard hugging yesterday. I stayed the night with Frank; he is actually a nice guy. We started talking about how I met Zelda and all that kind of stuff. I couldn’t stop talking and for some reason he never stopped asking me about Zelda. What’s wrong with him? Is he falling for her too? I need to ask, but what about if he gets offended? No, he won’t.
I stopped telling him about how I accidentally threw ice cream on Zelda when we were seven. I started to look at him with curiosity. What if he does like her?
‘’Are you okay?’’ He asked me. I didn’t stop looking at him.
‘’Iris, you are scaring me’’
‘’Oh! Hahaha, sorry. I just had this weird thought’’ now he is going to think you are some kind of perv! Oh god. Now he was the one looking at me oddly.
‘’Oh God! No! Not THAT kind of thoughts!’’ He seemed to relax a little bit.
‘’Thank you. I was starting to think something else of you’’ I looked at him weirdly as a joke. But he didn’t get the joke and he explained himself.
‘’I know Frank. I was playing with you.’’ And we both started laughing. Awww, he looks so cute laughing. No! Stop Iris! What’s wrong with me now? You like Mikey not Frank! We both stopped laughing. He moved closer that I could smell his minty breath. I could feel him very close that I had to close my eyes for it to happen fast. I didn’t want for it to happen, but it did. At the moment when our lips touched it felt like all worries were gone, that only us where there, not realizing we were still at the hospital. His lips were cold, and I had to break the kiss. I sighed and thought about the kiss about a moment.
‘’I’m sorry’’ Frank apologized. I didn’t know what I was thinking about, but I didn’t want to say ‘It’s okay’ so I just put my hand around his neck and kissed him. Then we both had to break the kiss because we both heard the door close. I looked up. Omg…I’m doomed. He just gave me a dirty look and left.

Mikey’s POV
I couldn’t fall asleep because Iris and Frank wouldn’t shut up, so I decided I needed to get out of the waiting room and make Greagoir and Ayden some company. They were both drinking some coffee.
‘’Where did you get the coffee from?!’’ I asked instead of saying hi.
‘’Hello to you too.’’ Ayden said.
‘’Hello. Where did you get the coffee?!’’
‘’There’s a Starbucks just around the corner’’ Ayden said pointing to the door, trying to tell me to get out of there and get some coffee as soon as I can. I made my way out and noticed it was raining. I had the urge to cry; rain makes me cry. I hurried myself to get to the Starbucks before I could get all soaked. When I arrived to the Starbucks there was a huge waiting line. This is insane. I tried to wait patiently like the others in front of me, but the smell of the coffee was jut making me crazy I was about to scream. Two more. I can’t hold it! Hurry up! I need a damn cup of coffee people! One more. Okay, you can hold it. Just one more.
‘’May I take your order?’’ Yes!
‘’Yes, two Venti Lattes please’’ I won’t survive in the hospital with just one Latte.
‘’Is that all?’’ No.
‘’Yes, thank you.’’ Damn it! The cashier asked my name to write it down on the cup, I had to tell her Patrick so unexpected fans wouldn’t come and upset me even more.
‘’Patrick!’’ I heard my ‘name’. I went up to the window and took my two Lattes. Perfect! I didn’t even wait to sit down; I started drinking one of the Lattes. Good, now that I have some coffee inside of me I can go back to the hospital. Hopefully nothing has happened yet, at least not without me. The rain had stopped a little bit; it was just drizzling.
When I got to the hospital Greagoir and Ayden where still outside talking, so I just thought that everything was still the same when I left.
‘’Awesome man!’’ Ayden said. Since when I talk to this guys?
‘’What?’’ I sounded harsh, but he needed to know that I don’t like him at all.
‘’You got some coffee’’ Stupid.
‘’Yeah, I did.’’ I started walking towards the door to go inside the waiting room until Ayden and Greagoir started talking to me again. They were just saying a lot of crap; non-sense.
‘’Are you guys trying to keep me from going to the waiting room?’’ They looked startled, but I knew it was true.
‘’No! Why do we want to do that?’’
‘’I don’t know, you tell me’’ And I left them there. I opened the door and saw what I was really expecting.
She looked up at me, scared that I might start a fight with Frank, but of course I wouldn’t. Frank deserved a chance with someone like Iris. Besides is not like I REALLY liked Iris, it was just a crush. Nothing else. I had to leave, not because it hurt but because I didn’t want to disturb them. I guess Iris didn’t get it and started running towards me trying to explain what happened. We were outside the hospital now.
‘’Can you just hear me out!’’ Iris yelled at me.
‘’I already listened enough. I don’t know how it happened and I don’t care. You can stay with Frank, is not like I…’’ I stopped. If I said that I don’t care if she is with Frank then that would hurt her.
‘’Is not like you what? Is not like you care? You were going to say that, weren’t you?’’ She started crying. I didn’t say anything. I kept quiet.
‘’Okay, I guess I’ll just leave’’ I still said nothing. She walked off to her car so she could leave. Is not my fault that she left, I never asked her to. I stood there, in the middle of the rain. No more drizzling, no more Iris.
