chapter 2:
iris woke up around 10am, in a strange house, in a strange bed, then she realised what happened to her last night & a overwhelming sadness came over her instantly but then she thought about jeff & all of sudden a glint of light apear at the end of a dark lonely tunnel known as her life. She got up & whinced & walked to the bathroom & then walked out to the living room to see jeff in the kitchen trying to cook breakfast, she walked in wearing hospital scrub pants & one of jeffs t-shirt the loaned her for the night. She sat down on a bar stool at the counter & yawned & said 'good morning' threw it. Jeff turned around & what he saw took his breath away she was so beautiful even though her face was bruised from what that son of a bitch did to her, he just stared at her in awe.
"jeff?"
"huh?"
"you're toaster is on fire."
Jeff looked over & saw it was, the toast was burning up, he franticly put it out & heard iris laughing.
"funny huh?"
"yes pretty darn."
"how bout we just go to mcdonalds or something?"
"sounds like a hell of a idea chef boyardee."
"ha-ha very funny. you want a change of clothes or something?"
"nah im fine people dont like the way i look they can kiss my ass."
"good additude."
"thank ya."
jeff opened the door for her & then the car door & they headed to mcdonalds & got food & sat in the parking lot talking back & forth. they actually had alot in common but jeff knew she probably wasnt interested even if she was she wasnt ready for a new relationship & vice versa thoughts for iris.
"so what do you want to do now?"
"well i would like to go get my stuff froms my ex's house."
"ok just tell me where it is & ill get you there & help you."
"thanks for all your help jeff i really apreciate it."
"no problem hun, im happy to help."
they drove to her ex's house & luckly his car wasnt there so he wasnt home, Jeff parked & they got out & iris unlocked the door & walked in. She went directly to her ex's & her old bedroom & grabbed her bags & stuffed her clothes & stuff in bags & suitcases. She had just told jeff she had to go to the other end of the house to get a few things from the office & to put her puppy in the carriable kennel & get his bowls & leash & stuff. Jake saw a strange car in his drive way & walked in from a night of partieing & krept in & saw the light on in the office & walked in & saw iris grabbing her hand gun & spare magazine & some spare cash she had hid, he closed the door & locked it. Iris turned around thinking it was jeff & stopped dead in her tracks when she saw it was Jake.
"You leaving me Iris?"
"Jake you raped me, it's over. please just let me out & ill leave."
"let me think about that...no im not gonna make it that easy." Jake went to grab Iris but she put the gun up & pointed it at him
"dont take on more step."
"aww you gonna shoot me baby? you dont got the guts." he took one more step & iris pulled the trigger but nothing happened...she had forgot to pull the slide back & rack a round...'fuck' she muttered under her breath as she momentarily looked down at the gun & Jake grabbed her & got the gun from her & threw it to the floor & threw her on the couch in the office.
"now where'd we leave off last night?"
"no jake, please not again." iris pleaded starting to cry
jeff stood in iris & jakes old bedroom wondering what was taking her so long, 'ill just start takin the rest of this stuff out to the car.' he thought he heard something from the office but shurgged it off & started out the door & saw another car in the driveway & dropped the bags & ran down the hall where the office was & saw the door closed he tried the doorknob but it was locked, he heard iris crying & pleading for her ex to stop to whatever it was he was doing. Jeff busted the door down & saw Jake on top of Iris trying to rip the hospital scrub pants off her. Jeff was enraged it took him no time to grab the back of Jakes shirt & throw him clear across the room over the desk & against the book shelf. He handed Iris his keys to his car & cell phone, she ran out the office & looked back & saw jeff & jake fighting each other, jeff was winning. Iris grabbed his arm & begged him to go with her to the car before he killed jake. he listened & hollared threats at jake & left him battered & bloody. Jeff grabbed Iris & her things & got her in his car & sped off.
Jeff took iris to his house & unloaded her things into the room of jeffs house where she was staying, after they did that, they got iris's puppy fixed up & it was already at home playing with jeff's animals. They were sitting on the porch swing talking drinking sweet tea, when iris said she needed to call her mom & tell her what was going on, iris & her mom were very close & she needed to tell her mom what was going on since she hadn't had the chance & jake wouldnt let iris call her while he was round. Jeff handed iris the cordless phone & iris dialed her moms number & she picked up on the 3rd ring...
"Hello?"
"Hey momma."
"Hey baby, whats up? ive missed you!"
"i've missed you too momma, i gotta tell you something, are you sitting down?"
"yes baby what is it?" iris's mom ask throughly concerned. she never liked jake & she knew this had something to do with him
"Jake raped me last night..."
"WHAT?!?!?!!?!"
"I'm fine momma..." iris went on to explain in detail to her mom what happened. jeff sat there listening & had to set his glass of sweet tea down so he wouldnt break it, he got up & walked to his garage were he kept his dirt bikes, motorcycle & 4-wheelers.
"well at least you pressed charges." iris's momma said.
"yeah i did."
"so are you comin home?"
"no im gonna stay up here for awhile longer."
"well where you gonna stay."
"im staying with jeff hardy, he helped me remember i told you."
"oh ok baby, well be careful, i miss you & love you."
"i will momma i miss you & love you too, talk to you later."
iris hung up the phone & went looking for jeff, she saw him changing into his motorcross gear, he had just took his t-shirt off & iris felt heat all over her body, 'god he is hott' she thought. Jeff felt like he was being watched & looked over & saw Iris in his t-shirt & her jeans wearing flip flops.
"See something you like?" jeff said with a cheesy grin
"yeah actually i do." she walked up to him like she was gonna kiss him & said
"i love riding 4-wheelers" iris laughed as jeff smile fell.
"well lets see what you got." jeff said handing her a helmet & goggles
"you're on." she hoped on one of the 450 4-wheelers & pulled her hair back & put the helmet & goggles on & told jeff.
"keep up if you can." with that said she hauled ass out of the garage & jeff hurriedly started his dirt bike & followed her.
they rode around & goofed off the rest of the day, they had fun with each other & were getting very close & they both knew it...
