A/N: I only own Iris. I will continue based on reviews. Hope everyone enjoys the story. Keep R & R please; it is nice to know that people are reading the story.
I woke up in the middle of the night to my phone ringing. I looked over at John; he was asleep. I answered the phone.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Iris, its Steph." she said. I looked at the clock; it was 3:30 in the morning.
"Is everything ok?" I asked.
"Dave is upset; his wife called him drunk again." she said.
"Ok…." I said.
"Can you talk to him. You don't know her and you won't judge." she told me. I agreed and hung up. John was waking up.
"What is it?" he asked me.
"I have to go talk to Steph. I will be back in a little while. Go back to sleep baby." I said as I kissed him. He rolled over and slept. I threw some shorts on and walked to Dave's room.
I knock and a visibly upset Dave answered the door.
"Hey." I said as I looked him up and down. He had bloody knuckles. He moved and pulled me in the room. The room looked like a disaster. I got a wash cloth and began to clean his knuckles.
"What do you want?" he asked me.
"I just wanted to make sure you were ok." I said looking at him. He snatched his hand away.
"Dave, let me clean it." I pleaded with him.
"Why? What do you get out of it?" he asked me. I was sitting with my feet under me. I was in front of him. He put his head down.
"Dave, I am being a friend. I just want to help you." I told him.
"I don't need your help." he said.
"Dave." I said. He stood up and hit the chair.
"Get the fuck out! I don't want you fucking help." he yelled. I stood up and got ready to walk out. I was leaving when he grabbed my arm.
"Dave, let me go." I said looking at him. He just looked at me. I pulled my arm away and ran out of the room. I ran past Stephanie who was sticking her head out of their room. I ran straight back to John's room. Dave had scared me.
I opened John's door and ran in. I shut it and pressed my back to it. I felt tears well up in my eyes. I put my head in my hands and sank to the floor.
"Baby, are you ok?" John asked me. I looked up and saw him standing there.
"What is it?" he asked me as he kneeled down beside me.
"I just got into it with Steph." I said. I lied.
"Come on. You need to sleep." he said.
"I am fine, you go ahead and sleep." I said. John bent down and picked me up.
"John." I was protesting. He kissed me.
"Sh…. Just lay down and go to sleep." he said. He laid down and wrapped his arms around me.
I woke up the next morning to someone kissing me. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him on me. I pulled away.
"Good morning." he said.
"Morning, baby, I like waking up like this." I told him.
"Me too. I love to have you in my arms." he told me. I smiled.
"I need to tell you something." he said.
"What?" I asked a little more concerned.
"I am not breaking up with you, but I am leaving for a while." he said.
"Where ya going?" I asked him.
"I am going to Europe to promote the shows." he said.
"When do you leave?" I asked him.
"Tomorrow. I found out yesterday." he said.
"You are leaving tomorrow?" I asked him. He nodded.
"Ok, we fly out at 1 to go to Seattle." he told me.
"I know and it is 10 so we need to get ready." I said. We got out things together and packed. Most of my stuff was in John's room. We left to go to the airport. We rode in the limo by ourselves and had fun on the way to the airport.
