Randy POV
"What do you mean?" I asked Chris.
"You said 'she loves him', but do you think it is like she loved John?" he asked again.
"I don't know. She really loved John and I mean everyone knew it." I said.
"She did." John said.
"Sorry." Chris said.
"It's not your fault I fucked up and then she left." he said.
"You think she is dating him to get back at John or out of convenience?" Chris asked.
"I don't think it's out of convenience. She doesn't seem the type to always need to have a boyfriend." John said.
"Yeah, she is way to independent. I don't know if it was to get back at John." I said.
"I don't know. I mean she might just want to make you jealous." Chris said. John nodded.
"I don't know. I think that she liked him before me, but I got to her first and Dave pissed her off while I was with her. I think that she did like him and the feelings disappeared, but when we broke up they came back." John said.
"Maybe." Chris said.
"I do not like them together. I asked her why she was with him, tonight." I said.
"What did she say?" John asked. I knew he missed her.
"She said that he treated her like he hadn't been treated in a long time." I said. John sighed.
"What?" Chris asked.
"I scared her away." he said.
"How?" Chris asked.
"You don't know why we broke up, do you?" John asked.
"No, why?" Chris asked. I wanted to know. I didn't know the whole truth.
"I accused her of cheating on me with Randy." he said, laughing.
"Is that all?" Chris asked.
"No, one night I got really drunk and I hit her. I felt really bad and I told her that I cheated on her with Candice so that I could break it off. I knew that she loved me, but was scared of me after I hit her. I didn't mean to, but I was drunk. I know that it is not an excuse and I loved her so I let her go. I didn't want to hurt her anymore. I never really slept with Candice, but I didn't know anything else to tell her." he said.
"Was that the night I saw it?" Randy asked.
"No, this was a week later." he said.
"Wow, so you lied to her to protect her from you?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, I really loved her too." he said. I knew he did, but I didn't know that.
"Then why did you lie?" I heard a voice from behind us ask.
We all turned around to see Iris. She was up and had heard what he had said.
"How long have you been standing there?" I asked.
"Long enough." she answered.
John POV
She had heard the truth. I wish that she hadn't, but she had. I just sat there.
"Good night." Randy said. He and Chris left. Iris just stood there looking at me. She had tears in her eyes.
"Sit down, baby." I said. She just looked at me.
"What do you want for me?" I asked her. I didn't know what to say.
"I would have liked to know this before I broke up with you. You broke my heart when you told me that you slept with her, again." she said. I sighed.
"I didn't want to hurt you anymore. I felt bad enough for hitting you." I told her.
"John, you only hit me once. The night that Randy was there. You didn't really hit me the other night." she told me.
"But, I remember hitting you." I said confused.
"No, you pushed me against the sink when we were having sex. You were drunk, but you didn't hit me." she said. I just sat there.
"I didn't hit you?" I asked her.
"No, John, you didn't. I loved you; I hated it when you drank." she said.
"You weren't going to break up with me?" I asked her.
"No, John, we were engaged. I only broke up with you because you cheated on me or at least you made me believe that you cheated on me." she told me.
Damn it! I lost the only person that I really ever loved because I was stupid and drunk! I thought.
"I am sorry that I lied to you. I didn't want you to get hurt or I didn't want to hurt you." he said.
"I understand, but I don't." she said.
"I am sorry for the way I acted as well. I just thought…" I was saying.
"I know, push me as far away as you can and I will just go away on my own, right?" she asked.
"Yeah." I whispered.
"It's ok. If you had pushed me far enough away I wouldn't be talking to you. So you didn't totally succeed." she said.
"Are you mad at me?" I asked her.
"Yeah and no. I understand why, but I think that you can talked to me before lying to 'protect' me." she said.
"I am sorry." I said.
"I know, you are, I see it every time I am with Dave." she said.
"I do miss you." I whispered.
"I know and there are times I miss you, but I have feelings for Dave now. I cannot just drop him to give us a try again." she said.
"I wouldn't ask you to. I just want a friendship now." I told her.
"Thanks." she said and yawned.
"Go to bed. You are going to have a hard day tomorrow." I said as I stood up.
"I know." she whispered.
"Your friends are here for you. We will get you through this." I told her and I meant it.
"Thanks, good night." she said.
I gave her a hug and walked upstairs to the room I was in. I laid in the bed for at least and hour before finally falling asleep.
Iris POV
I walked back into my bedroom. Randy was asleep in front of the TV. I turned it off and covered him up. I slipped back in the bed beside Dave. He was adorable. I pulled the covers over us and finally fell into a restless sleep.
Randy POV
The next morning, I got up around 9 and went to find John. I wanted to know what happened. I knocked on his door. He was ready as well. We were in black suits and ready for the funeral.
"Are you ready?" he asked me.
"Yeah, we are leaving in a little while." I said to him. He seemed a little depressed.
"What happened?" I asked him.
"I told her the truth." he said.
"How did she take it?" I asked him. He looked at me.
