A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews and suggestions. I got to update today. YAY! Enjoy the chapter.

John POV

I watched as people gathered around Iris and Matt. I wanted to make sure she was ok, but I would get in the way with the crutches and I didn't want to crawl. I just wanted to make sure she was ok. I was pissed that I could not be over there with her.

I watched as Sean rolled her over and be begin to check her face to make sure nothing was broken. I saw Sean lift his hand for a towel and there was blood all over it. I began to get worried when Mom went running by and into the house. Mark was walking by and I grabbed him. He looked at me.

"Is she ok?" I asked him. He sighed and looked down.

"She took a good hit. Matt took a good hit as well. He wasn't as bad. She will be ok thought." he said. I sighed. I really wanted to get over there now.

"I want to see her. Help me over there." I said. He pushed me back into the chair as I got up.

"No, man. Mom is taking care of her. Just leave her alone." he said.

People were all coming to me and trying to keep my mind off her. I just wanted to help her. I was glad that Mom was taking care of her and that people were helping me.

I continued to watch as Matt stood up. He had blood down his chest. He had a busted lip and possibly a broken nose. I saw Iris sit up, with her back to me, and she laid back down. She was in a lot of pain.

Mom was walking back towards her with ice, a towel, and a new shirt. Iris peeled her shirt off. The front of it was covered with blood. She put the new one on and took the ice. She held it to her face on the bridge of her nose.

"Oh no, it looks like your girls isn't so pretty now. I guess you will have to find someone else." Anna said as she walked up to me.

"Anna, shut the fuck up! She will ALWAYS be prettier than you." I said and glared at her. She was taken back by my tone and glared at me. She reached back and got ready to slap me. I just looked away waiting on her to slap me. I never felt the sting in my cheek. I looked up and saw Iris.

Iris had walked up behind Anna and grabbed her wrist. Anna turned and looked at her. She gasped at the sigh of her.

"Don't touch him or you will look worse than I do." Iris said. She let go of Anna's arm. Anna backed off and left.

I finally looked at Iris. She looked bad. I gasped when she sat next to me. She had a busted lip, a bloody nose, a cut across her cheek, two black eyes, and one eye was almost swollen shut. I was shocked. She probably had a mild concussion as well. The black eyes weren't going away for a few days and the lip would be swollen for a while.

"Baby, are ok?" I asked her. She sighed. Matt, Sean, Marc, and Mom had sat down near us.

"I don't know how she is ok." Marc said. She tried to smile.

"I will be ok." she said. People were coming up and making sure she was ok.

"Matt, are you ok?" she asked him.

"Yeah, you have a hard head." he said.

"Told ya!" Sean said. We all laughed.

"How are you sitting up?" Dan asked her as James crawled into her lap.

"I just am, but I know one thing: I am NEVER playing football with ya'll again!" she said. I laughed at her.

"Aunt Iris, are you ok?" James asked her.

"Yeah." she said.

"Let's go swimming!" James said and got down. He pulled her arm. She got up.

"NO!" I said. She turned and looked at me.

"I am ok, John. Don't worry." she said. I smiled and realized she was a very strong person.

I talked with friends and watched Iris.

"John, where did you find her?" one of my friends asked me.

"She fell from heaven." I said.

"She is very tough!" another one said.

"Yeah, she is." I said. I was to intent on watching her play with my cousins and Dan in the pool.

I continued to talk to people and Iris was in the pool until everyone left around 10 pm. I was glad that most of them left. I wanted to spend time with Iris.

Iris POV

I was glad the people left when they did. I really needed a shot and wanted to talk to John. I got my stuff and checked my sugar. I really couldn't see all that well.

"I need help." I told John.

He nodded and pulled me into his lap. He gave me the shot and was very gentle about it. I got up and threw my needle away. Marc was standing there when I stood up to fast and about fell over. He caught me.

"Are you ok?" he asked me.

"Yeah, thanks for your help." I said to him. He smiled.

"No problem." he said.

"You staying here tonight?" I asked him.

"Yeah, are you going to bed?" he asked me.

"I am taking a shower." I said and he laughed.

I went upstairs and John was in his room. He smiled at me when I walked into the room.

"Come on. We are taking a shower." I said and helped him into the bathroom.

We undressed and got under the shower. I helped John wash off and then stood under the water to rinse all the blood off. I was standing there and I looked up to see John watching me. I smiled at him, but we needed to talk.

John POV

I knew something was wrong. We dried off and she helped me get dressed and then dressed herself. She was being so gentle as she helped me into my room. She helped me lay down and put the covers over me. She sat on the other side of the bed and sighed.

"Baby, what is it?" I asked her. She turned and looked at me.

"Why did you tell your mom we were dating again?" she asked me. I just looked at her. I didn't have an answer. She sighed and laid down.

"Night, John." she said. I sighed.

"Iris, wait. I told her because I wanted it to be true. I wanted it to be like it used to." I said in a low voice.

"Like it used to be?" she asked me.

"The happy times." I said. She looked at me. I didn't like to see her like this. I knew she was in emotional and physical pain.

"Baby, I am sorry. I should have asked you if it was ok to tell her." I said.

"Yeah." she said.

"Baby, don't do this. I am sorry, but I just want to there to be an us again. Can there be an us again?" I asked her. She sighed.

"Last chance." she said. I smiled. I kissed her and forgot about her lip.

"Ow!" she said and glared at me. I was sorry. I pulled her in for a loving, slow, passionate kiss. She pulled away and looked at me.

"You need sleep." she whispered.

"You too." I said.

She laid down on my chest and we were about asleep when the phone rang. She grabbed it.

"Hello?" she answered.

"Iris, it's Dave." he said.

"Yeah?" she asked him.

"Something is wrong." he said.
