A/N: I only own Iris. I will continue when I receive more reviews. Thanks to everyone who is reading and reviewing. Enjoy.
I dragged my self together and got ready. I wasn't going to dress up so I just put on some running pants, a t-shirt, and Dave's hoodie back on. I wasn't impressing anyone. Randy came and knocked on my door at 6:30. I opened it to find him dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. We walked down to the lobby where we got in a waiting limo.
"I need to stop at one place and then we can eat." he said. I nodded.
"You ok?" he asked me.
"Yeah, me and John got into it. I was just thinking about it." I told him.
"He told me something freaked you out last night. Everything ok?" he asked me.
"Don't want to talk about it." I answered him being very short.
"You going to talk to John about it?" he asked me. I looked at him and stared through him.
"Sorry, but I was just wondering. He is really worried about you. He thinks he did something to you." Randy told me. I immediately felt bad. I just looked out the window.
"Did he do something to you, Iris?" Randy asked me.
"No, he didn't." I said. Randy just looked at me. He wasn't trying but he was bringing back memories that I really didn't want.
"Iris, you can tell me if…." he was saying.
"Leave it alone!" I said to him. I didn't mean to yell but I had to make it go away. Randy just looked at me. We arrived at where Randy was going.
"Randy. I am sorry." I told him.
"Iris, its ok. I shouldn't have pushed it." he said back and gave me a hug. I hugged him back. He took my hand and pulled me into the store. He immediately put a hat on when we got in. I realized where we were. He had taken me to John's signing. He pulled me behind the curtains before I could protest.
"RANDY!" I yelled at him.
"What? I told you we could eat after this." he said.
"That is not what I was talking about." I said.
"You have to talk to him sooner or later." he told me. He was right, but I wanted to pick the time. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I had to get out of there. I was not going to talk about it with him now. I was fixing to say something when John walked behind the curtain and looked at me.
"Iris?" he looked at me and then Randy. I was ready to run and I did. I took off running though the back. John and Randy both ran after me. John was close. I found the back door and ran off. I ran across the street. John stopped in the door way.
"What do I do?" he asked Randy.
"I will chase her and you can finish this. Call me after wards." Randy said and ran across the street to find me.
I ran. I had no clue where I was going, but I was getting far away from John and Randy. I ran until I couldn't see the store of Randy running behind me. I had never been to Vancouver and had no idea where I was. I realized that I was lost and upset. I started walking back towards the city. I felt someone behind me. I turned to see a guy standing there.
"Lost?" he asked me. I freaked and ran away from him. I ran until I was back in the city. I walked down the street I recognized that the hotel was on. I was walking when my cell phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Are you ok?" I heard on the other end.
"I would be better if you would stay out of my business." I told Randy on the other end.
"Look, I wanted to help. I didn't know you would react like that." he said sincere. I wasn't in the mood.
"Randy, stay out of it!" I said through gritted teeth.
"John wants to know if you are ok." Randy said. I hung up. I shoved the phone back in my pocket and walked in the hotel. I had made it back. I was so hungry. I ordered room service as soon as I got to the desk. They were going to deliver it to me. I went up the elevator to my floor. I got off and saw Randy standing at John's door. I was so upset that I didn't even look at them when I walked by. John shoved Randy out of the way and chased me to my room. I shut the door in his face.
"Iris, let me in." he begged on the other side of the door. I was sitting against the door and crying. I was not in the mood to see anyone.
"Baby, please. I just wanted to know what I did." he begged. He couldn't understand; he hadn't done anything. I gave in and opened the door. He was at the door and about fell into me when I opened it.
"John, just let it go." I said with tears streaming down my face.
"Baby, what did I do?" he asked.
"Nothing, I am dealing with my past." I told him.
"Let me help. I want to help. I am your boyfriend and I am not going anywhere." he said. I let him in. He walked in and pulled me into a hug.
"What is it? Baby?" he asked me.
"I am dealing with my past. I thought I was over it, but I'm not." I told him. He sat on the bed and took my hands.
"What is it?" he asked me.
"I want to tell you, but I don't know how you will take it." I said as I looked at him.
"Iris, nothing you can say will change my mind about you. You are perfect for me and I don't care." he told me.
"Fine, John. The other night when I left it was because I had memories when I was raped." I said.
"Baby… I am sorry. I didn't mean to do anything to provoke it." he said to me.
"You didn't. I just haven't gotten over the idea of having sex with a guy. I think it will take me a while." I told him.
"Take as long as you need. I just don't want to hurt you. I am sorry if I did anything. I understand." he said. I just looked at him. I was searching his eyes.
"I mean it. I will take it slower with you, but I will not force you to do anything. I will stop when you say no." he said and kissed me gently. I smiled when I pulled away.
"There is the beautiful smile I love to see." he said.
"I need to apologize to Randy." I said.
"He was worried about you as much as I was. He just wanted to help." he said as there was a knock at the door.
"Oh! Food!" I said. I jumped up opened the door to see Randy. I pulled him into a hug.
"I am sorry." he said.
"I didn't mean to interfere. I was just wondering if you wanted to eat still?" he asked me.
"Yeah, come on. We can all go." I said.
I cancelled my order and we left to go eat. We went to a small restaurant and ate. I had fun. John kept a hold of my hand the entire night. We ate and went back to the hotel. Randy went back to his room and went to sleep. John and I went into my room and began to watch tv.
"I am sorry about last night." I said.
"It's ok. I just have to say wow!" he said smiling. I laughed as he pulled me into a hug. We were laying on the bed watching ESPN. I was laying there and fell asleep in John's arms. He was half-asleep when there was a knock at the door. He opened the door.
"What are you doing in her room?" the person on the other side asked him.
