A/N: I only own Iris. I can't believe I have over 100 reviews. Thanks. Keep up the reviews and suggestions. I will not be able to update due to wrist problems and I have to replace my computer's keyboard. I will not be able to update everyday, but I will update as soon as possible. (Thanks for understanding.)

Iris POV

I woke up the later that day to see John was gone. I sighed and laid there. I begin to look around the room. He had hung up most of the pictures we had taken together. The necklace that I had first given him was hanging from the corner of his mirror. I smiled and realized he was still holing out hope for us. I felt bad, now, because I had been so rude to him. I laid there for a few seconds and got up.

I made my way downstairs to see Carol sitting in the kitchen. She smiled at me and handed me some coffee.

"Thanks." I said.

"Come on, sit. We need to catch up." she said. I smiled. She was like my other mom.

We sat and talked outside while the guys played football. Sean gave me a hug and asked me if I wanted to play. I laughed and told him some other time. We began to grill for dinner that night. John kept on playing, but he would smile at me every time he caught my eye. I would smile back. Carol saw us doing this.

"I am so glad you two are back together John hasn't been the same since you two broke up." she said. I smiled and freaked out inside.

Back together? I thought to myself.

"John told you?" I asked her, trying to sound surprised.

"Yeah. Come on let's finish dinner." she said.

We had finished dinner while the boys continued to play football. John, his brothers, Mark, and a few of the family friends were playing. Carol and I walked out to tell them that dinner was ready. I caught John's attention when I was walking towards them and he took a hard hit by Mark. I gasped.

John POV

I was playing football when Iris caught my attention. She was beautiful. I wasn't paying attention and I took a hard hit from Mark. I got up and my ankle was killing me. I rolled over and held it. It hurt so bad and the pain was overwhelming. I was not letting anyone to touch me, until I felt Iris touch my shoulder. I looked at her. She was calm and like an angel.

"John, let go. We need to see it." she said. I nodded and let go.

"Lay back." she said. I took one of her hands.

"Sean, help me. I need you to straighten his leg out." she said. Sean did that and pain shot through me. I winced and held her hand.

She continued to check my ankle.

"Carol, I gotta get him to the hospital." she said. I didn't want to go.

"No!" I said. She looked at me with pleading eyes. I sighed.

"Come on, John." she said.

They helped me up and into the car. Mark was going with us. I was a little worried about them getting along. Mark drove us to the hospital. Iris had called ahead and they took me as soon as I got there.

I wanted Iris to go with me, but she couldn't until after the x-rays.

Iris POV

I was sitting in the waiting room with Mark. We weren't talking. He looked at me.

"Iris, I am sorry for how I treated you. I didn't know that your parents were going to be involved." he said. I smiled.

"It's ok, Mark. Have you heard from Jeff, Matt, or Adam lately?" I asked him.

"Nope. I don't really want to. I changed all my numbers after I heard about your parents. I didn't want to be connected to it. That is seriously messed." he said. I smiled.

"Thanks." I said.

We continued to sit there. A nurse came out.

"Ms. Levesque, can you come back here, please?" she asked me.

I got up and walked back there.

John was sitting there like a little child and he wasn't behaving.

"What did you do?" I asked him.

"I told them I wanted you back here and I wouldn't take the shot until you came back here." he said. I laughed at him and sat down next to him. He smiled and the nurse gave him a shot.

John POV

I was glad she was back there. The nurse was rude when she gave me the shot.

"She wasn't very gentle." I mumbled.

"You weren't exactly cooperative." she said. I smiled at her.

"Sorry, but I was bored by myself." I said.

"Why not get Mark?" she asked me. I shrugged.

"I wanted you to be here." I said. She smiled.

The doctor told me I had sprained it really bad. I had to keep it wrapped up and use crutches for at least a week. He also had me in physical therapy for the last week or in two weeks. I was glad I was home for three weeks.

Mark, Iris, and I finally went home. I made it inside slowly. Iris walked with me and we ate. The food was still good.

I sat in the recliner and was playing PS2 while Iris sat on the couch and talked with Matt and Sean. We played until midnight. I decided to sleep where I was. Iris had fallen asleep on the couch. I just had them leave her there. I watched Iris for a while before falling asleep.

Iris POV

I woke up the next morning to the smell of coffee. I got up and walked in the kitchen. Carol and Dan were sitting there.

"Coffee?" she asked me.

"After my shower. John is still asleep." I said and went upstairs. I took a quick shower and went back downstairs. John was awake and sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee. He smiled when he saw me. I couldn't help but smile back.

The rest of the day went by slowly. We were having a cook out that night. I was excited because I missed seeing a few people.

John POV

I was glad that she had agreed to come home with me. Mom and the guys missed her. I was a little down that the cookout was tonight, and I couldn't do much. I couldn't even swim. I wanted to swim.

People started to arrive at 6 pm. Iris and Mom had cooked a lot of food. A lot of people showed up. Iris was in the pool with Matt and a few more people playing volleyball. I was watching her. She was beautiful. I just hoped that she would take me back. I was sitting there in my thought when Anna walked up and poked me.

"Hi John." she said.

"Hi, Anna, how have you been?" I asked her.

'Great, now that your back." she said and smiled. I just wasn't interested. She continued to talk me and I continued to watch them play volleyball in the pool. Iris finally looked over at me. I mouthed 'help'. She smiled and got out, since the game had just finished.

She made her way over to me and wrapped a towel around her. She pretended to walk by and I pulled her in my lap.

"I am wet." she said.

"Perfect." I said and kissed her. Anna was in shock. We pulled apart and Iris looked at her.

"Hi! It's Anna isn't it?" she asked her.

"Yes, what are you doing here? I thought you broke off the engagement?" she asked her.

"I did, but that doesn't mean that me and John can't get back together, does it?" she asked her. Anna sighed and walked off.

"Thanks." I told her.

"Anytime." she said.

"Iris! Football!" Matt yelled.

"Be right there." she yelled back. She put on some shorts, tank top, and shoes.

I watched them play football. I didn't want her to get hurt, like last time. It was a fainting hope after her and Matt head butted. She laid there and Matt just rolled over.

"MOM!" I yelled. Carol came running. I pointed to Iris and Matt. She ran out there.

Mark was next to Iris checking on her. Everyone was worried. Matt had gotten up and crawled over to Iris. I saw her moving but I didn't know how bad it was.

"ICE!" Mark yelled. People began to scramble. Someone took ice and a towel to them. I was so nervous. I wanted to know if she was ok.

A/N: Is she ok? I will try and update tomorrow, but if I can't get a computer just be patient. I am not going to forget. I did stop writing my other story Forever Equals Ten Years due to lack of interest. I might start another story once this one ends. I will just have to see. Have a great New Years!
