We all went out to eat that night and went back to Paul's room. We told everyone what was overheard and to be careful. Stacy and Chris decided to take a vacation because of Stacy's condition. They were all excited that I was the new writer. I was just as happy.

By 11:00 pm, Paul, Dave, Randy, and I were the only ones who were still in Paul's room. I was so tired. I fell asleep next to Dave on the couch. Randy had just left.

Paul POV

Iris was asleep next to Dave. I knew they were dating and I hated to see either of them get hurt. I knew Dave would be very upset if something happened to her.

"Dave?" I asked him. He eventually looked at me after pulling his gaze away from her.

"Yeah, Paul?" he asked me.

"You know that you two don't need to date." I told him. He just looked at me.

"I know you two are dating and I think it is great. I am glad because I know how much you two like each other. I am glad that I didn't make you hate each other." I told him. He smiled at me.

"Yeah, I asked her out a few days ago. I am so happy." he told me.

"Dave, you know what you need to do. I am the only one who knows and if anyone finds out, like Adam or the others, then she may be put in a grim situation. I am so glad you are together, but I am telling you as a friend and as her brother; you can't see her right now. I know you are keeping it a secret, but sooner or later it will come out." I told him. He sighed and put his head down.

"I know your right, but Paul, I just got her only to have to let her go again. I really do love her and I mean not in a friendly way. I mean she changes my whole day when I can just look at her." he told me. I smiled at him.

"Dave, congrats, you are in love." I told him.

"I guess I do. I think I love her more than I ever did Angie. I just don't want to let her go, but I don't want to see her get hurt. I know what I have to do; I just don't want to." he told me. I sighed.

"I know. I am just so glad that Steph is off the road." I told him.

Dave POV

I was talking with Paul about Iris. We were just talking about what the situation meant for everyone.

"Are you excited about the baby?" I asked him. He smiled.

"I can't wait. I am so excited to see the person that Steph and I created. I can't wait to hold me little baby." he told me.

"I remember when all my girls were born. The feeling was overwhelming and indescribable." I told him.

We continued to talk for a little while longer until I finally carried Iris to her room.

I carried her in there and laid her on the bed. I put the covers over her and kissed her forehead. I just looked at her. I couldn't give her up, but I couldn't stand to see her hurt. I sat there for well over two hours just watching her. She was my world and I had to let her go.

I wrote a note and placed it on the nightstand. I couldn't bear to see her face when she read it. I watched her a little longer and finally gained the strength to walk away.

I went back to my room and laid there. I was tired, but I couldn't sleep. The clock read 3:35 am, and we had a show. I eventually feel into a dissatisfying sleep.

Iris POV

I woke up the next morning. I realized I was in my room.

Dave must have brought me after I fell asleep. He is so sweet. I thought as I stretched. I looked over at the nightstand and saw a note with my name on it. I picked it up and opened it.

Hey Beautiful,

I hope you slept well. I am sorry I couldn't be there when you wake up. I couldn't bear to tell you this to your face and I am sorry to tell you this in a letter. I can't be with you right now. I couldn't bear to see you get hurt because someone found out we were dating. I never wanted to do this but I care about you so much that I have to. I am also sorry that I just got you only to have to let you go. I love you, baby and that will never change. I understand if you don't want to talk to me tonight, but I am always going to be your friend. As soon as this goes away I am going to have you back in my arms and love you like no one else could. The night we spent together meant so much and I hope you understand why I did this. I love you and always will.

Your animal, Dave

I just sat there and looked at the letter. I understood, but I was still so mad. I put it in my suitcase. I picked up the phone and called Trish.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, do you feel like going with me do to a few things?" I asked her.

"Yeah, is everything ok?" she asked me.

"I'll tell you when I see you. Meet me in the lobby in an hour?" I asked her.

"See ya then." she said. I hung up and got into the shower.

I met Trish in the lobby and we left in a limo.

"What is it?" she asked me.

"I had a bad night last night. Dave and I got into it. I want a change." I told her.

"Like?" she asked me.

"I want my tongue pierced, nails done, and hair change." I told her.

"You sure?" she asked me.

"Oh yeah. You up for it?" I asked her.

"Yeah, besides I need my nails done." she told me.

We went and got my tongue pierced. She couldn't watch when the person did it. We got our nails done and put fake tips on them. I had mine painted black and she got a French manicure. After getting our nails done we got out hair done. She had hers highlighted and cut. I got black streaks and tipped the ends black. I definitely wanted a change.

We arrived at the arena around 4 pm. She went to see Randy and I went to see Vince. I walked up to his office and knocked.

"Come in!" I heard him yell. I walked in and a he was with someone. They both just looked at me.
