A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews. Enjoy!

John POV

I was just laying on the bed when someone knocked on my door.

"Come in!" I yelled. I saw Dad walk in the room.

"You doing ok?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I am fine. I wish people would stop asking me that." I told him. I was getting irritated at everyone asking me.

"John, we are just asking you because we know what she meant to you." he told me. I sighed.

"Dad, I miss her. I think I messed up when I broke it off." I told him. He sighed.

"John, I understand you have regrets, but she is gone. You can't have her back. I know that she will always have a piece of your heart, but you can't have her anymore. You need to focus on the one you have now. I know you really care for her." he told me.

"Yeah, I know." I said. Sean came into the room a second later.

"John, we are going to play football. You going to play?" they asked me. I shook my head no.

"Alright, Iris is playing." he told us.

"Don't you hurt her!" Dad yelled at him.

"Come on, John. We need to help your mother clean up and start lunch." he said to me.

"Alright, let me change." I told him and he went downstairs. I went down stairs a few minutes later. I could see everyone playing football in the snow. I sat down and watched TV.

Iris POV

I was having so much fun playing football with everyone. I was on a team with Randy, Matt, and Dan. Sean, Stephen, Marc, and on of their friends who had come home with them was on the other team. We were playing and having fun. I was running and Sean was coming at me. We weren't paying attention and head butted each other. We both fell over. I was laying there and my face hurt so bad. I looked over and everyone was coming to check on us. I saw the Sean had a cut on his forehead. I looked down at the snow and saw blood.

"Iris?" I heard Matt call. I looked over at him and he stopped dead in his tracks.

"Iris?" Randy asked me. I looked at him. I knew I was bleeding, but I didn't know how bad.

"You have got to go inside right now!" Dan told me. I was freaking out. I sat up and leaned over.

"I don't want to get blood on my coat and stuff." I said to them.

"Iris!" Randy said.

"Let me get them off." I told them. They begin to help me. We pulled my coat, scarf, and gloves.

"Go in!" Matt said.

"My sweater!" I told them.

"Iris!" Randy said.

"I have on an undershirt!" I told them. They pulled the shirt off.

"Now, come on!" they told me. I had blood running down the front of my shirt.

Carol POV

I was looking out the window and saw the guys pulling Iris' jacket and clothes off. I saw her turn around and come towards the house; all the guys were coming behind her. I saw she had blood running down her face.

Iris POV

I reached the house and went inside.

"Iris. Come here." Carol said and pulled me into the kitchen. She looked at me and turned on the sink.

"I will get you a cloth." she said. I was letting the blood fall into the sink. I didn't know if I was cut or it was my nose. My entire face hurt. I was splashing the water over my face.

"Is she going to be ok?" Matt asked Carol.

"Yeah, just go in there and don't let John come in here." She said.

"Stephen, can you get her a shirt?" she asked him. He nodded and went upstairs.

"What happened?" she asked me.

"I head butted Sean." I told her. She laughed at me.

"Alright, well, it looks like you have a busted lip and a bloody nose." she said.

"Great." I said.

"It's ok." she said as Stephen came back with a shirt.

"Where can I change?" I asked her.

"Right here." she said. I stripped out of the blood soaked singlet and into the t-shirt. I didn't realize Stephen had seen me to that. He walked into the den where all the guys were watching TV.

"Wow!" he said walking in.

"What?" Marc asked him.

"Iris is hot. I just saw her change shirts and man she looks good." he said, not realizing John was sitting there.

"Why did you see her changing?" John asked a little pissed.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean it that way. She is in the kitchen and I wasn't all the way out yet. I glanced back and saw her." he told John.

"Why is she changing in the kitchen?" he asked. No one said anything. They didn't want to tell him she got hurt playing football with him. He got up and ran in there.

I was washing my face off. I had looked in the mirror.

"I look horrible." I told her.

"It's ok. You have another day before Thanksgiving, so it can heal by Friday." she said.

"Thanksgiving is tomorrow." I said to her.

"I know, but that is just the boys, the parents, and the boy's girlfriends." she said.

"Oh ok." I told her.

"WHERE IS SHE?" John asked very upset.

"John, what's wrong?" Carol asked him. I just stood there out of site.

"I just heard that Stephen saw her changing in the kitchen. Why?" he asked her.

"John, calm down. She got hurt playing football. She was bleeding and she needed another shirt." she explained to him.

"Iris?" he called to me.

"Yeah?" I called back.

"Come here, baby. Let me see." he said.

"No." I said. Carol knew how I felt.

"Baby, please." he begged me.

"Iris, it will be ok." she said. I sighed and walked out. I had a large bruise on my cheek, my left eye was black, my nose was slightly swollen, and my lip was busted. I looked at John. He walked over and kissed my forehead.

"What happened?" he asked me.

"I head butted Sean." I told him. He smiled at me.

"And you got up?" he asked me.

"She is tough." Mr. Cena said as he walked in the kitchen. I smiled at him.

"Iris, are you hungry?" she asked me.

"No." I replied.

"Mom, I am going to take her upstairs." John said.

"Ok, Iris, lay down for a little while and when you are hungry come eat." she said.

"Thanks, sorry again." I told her.

"It's ok. My boys have put me through worse." she said.

John and I went upstairs and into his room.

"Are you ok?" he asked me.

"Yeah, I just hurt." I told him.

"You should be. You took a hard hit." he said. I laid down on his bed. He sat next to me. He was looking past me and I knew he was looking at the picture of him and Liz. I sighed.

"I give up." I said and closed my eyes.

"Why?" he asked me.

"Because, John, I am not going to compete with her." I told him.

"What?" he asked me. He was a little mad and confused.

"John, if she was still alive and you came home. I know I would lose you in a second." I told him.

"No, you wouldn't" he told me.

"Whatever, John. Just let me know who you chose." I told him. I was getting very annoyed at him. Anytime we were in his room he spent more time looking at that picture than paying attention to me. I was tired of it. I eventually fell asleep. John was sitting on the bed beside me.

John POV

I can't believe her. I don't do that, do I? I thought. I looked down and realized she had fallen asleep. I moved some hair out of her face. I smiled at her expression. She was asleep, but still looked like an angel. I heard a knock on the door.

I got up and opened the door. It was my Mom; she came in with some lunch.

"Did she just go to sleep?" she asked me.

"Yeah." I told her. I just sighed.

"John, you can't have her and Liz at the same time. You can't have Liz at all, anymore. I don't care if you think about her, but don't lose the one who is trying to love you right now." she told me. I sighed.

"I know, Mom. It hurts so much though. I miss her, and I want to be with her." he said.

"John, she just wants to help you. She tried to this morning and you ignored her. She wanted to be there for you. Don't lose her over something you can't change." she told me.

"Alright, Mom, I am going to lay down." I told her.

"Eat something first and don't wake her up." she told me.

"Alright, I will. Thanks." I told her. I gave her a hug and she went downstairs. I ate a few bites of my sandwich while watching ESPN. I laid down a few minutes later. Iris snuggled up beside me and looked at me.

"Sorry." she said.

"I am sorry, baby. I didn't mean to ignore you. I love you. Go to sleep." I told her. She smiled at me and fell back asleep. I fell asleep knowing I wanted to be with her.
