Karen's POV

"Karen, I seriously have no idea where she is! She went out to get some water at night and the drinks are here but she is not. And it sucks to wake up without her!" Kevin whines.

"You were doing what?" I ask.

"I was sleeping, dumbass!" he scowls.

"I'll check with Caspian. Come with me!" I say and the three of us head to Caspian's room. Darius knocks twice and we wait for him to open. When he knocks again, Caspian answers, looking sleepy as hell.

"Good morning, guys." he greets sleepily.

"Mornin'...have you seen Iris?" asks Kevin. Caspian steps aside and we enter to see a sleeping Iris on his bed, clinging to a pillow. 

What the hell?

"Yo, wake up! Kevin is here!" Caspian shakes her, trying to wake her up while the rest of our jaws hang open.

"Mmmm... what... go away! I want to sleep!" she says, grumpily. 

Great!

"Wake the hell up, dingus!" I yell and she jolts upright.

"What do you... Kevin? You woke up?" she beams.

"Yeah, I did. To see you in his bed!" he huffs.

"Wha- what do you mean?" she asks, pouting.

"Why are you sleeping with him, Iris?" I ask.

"Well, I can't sleep with my brothers? They are my brothers now! Come on chamois, you are my brother now!" she announces. 

Okay, seriously what the hell happened last night?

"We were scared! We thought something happened to you!" says Darius.

"I was under the protection of my big bro!" she tells, rubbing her eyes. "Caspian doesn't like to cuddle though! And I need a cuddle refill! Can we cuddle for some time, Kevin?" she asks with literal puppy dog eyes. I don't think she is understanding what is going on here right now.

Kevin is hella pissed. He already is not so happy when she gets too touchy with Caspian or Darius and now this has got him fuming.

Kevin scoffs, the look of betrayal spread across in his eyes, and storms out the door. Iris looks at me, confused.

"Why is he angry?" she asks.

"Iris, what happened last night?" I ask. She looks at Caspian, who is looking straight at me.

She yawns. "Well, Caspian was alone all the time. So, I thought why not give him some company. We talked all night and then fell asleep. But before coming here, I tried waking up Kevin but he was sleeping." she explains.

"Yeah, I don't think he liked that!" Darius shrugs.

Iris frowns. "Why is he not allowing me to talk with anyone else, Karen? It's like, he thinks that I will leave him for anyone else. No! I love him and only him and all other guys, I see them as my brothers. Especially, these two!" she booms, pointing at Caspian and Darius.

"Kevin is a little from the jealous side, Iris!" I say.

"But, I won't leave him, Karen. Not for another guy! And yesterday, we were only talking, and is it wrong to fall asleep when you are tired?" she fumes.

"No, but-"

"But what Katarina? You know more than anyone about how we see Iris. She is like a sister to me and why won't Kevin just understand that? Him being jealous of Delmar is understandable but how long have we all been together for? We have through so much and why is he still like this? Does he think that Iris will cheat on him with me? Pathetic!" Caspian yells.

"Guys, calm down!" says Darius.

"No, I am not calming down, Darius. He can't just storm off like that just because I spent a night with Caspian when he needed some company." Iris declares and storms out the door.

Caspian huffs and sits down on the bed and Darius kneels in front of him taking Caspian's hand in his.

"What happened last night?" he asks.

Caspian shakes his head. "Nothing, Darius. She came to take water and she heard me through the door. And then she came in, we talked and fell asleep. That's all!" he shrugs.

Although he might be saying the truth, I still have a feeling that he is lying. Both him and Iris. Not about anything happening between them, but about why Iris came to his room and had to give him company.

"Really? That's all?" asks Darius.

"Yeah, that's all!"

"We grew up together Caspian. I can tell when you lie!" Darius smirks.

"Seriously brother, it's nothing. I am just nervous for Iris." He says.

"Whatever it is, just know...know that we're all here for you, okay?" I say patting his shoulder. He smiles and nods at both of us. "All the best, you two! I'm...I'm happy for you!" he wishes, but his voice sounds strained although only I can hear that. 

So much for super hearing!

We leave his room and as we pass down the hallway, I hear Kevin's and Iris's voices yelling from their door. I exchange a glance with Darius deciding to not interfere in that, and we continue our walk to our room.

Iris' POV

"I love you and only you Kevin! Then why the hell are you jealous?" I yell.

"You didn't tell me where you were going, Iris! And it sucks to wake up to an empty bed, especially after I thought I lost you to death!" he fumes.

"I tried waking up you, dumbhead! But you were busy cursing Delmar without whose help, I wouldn't even be alive! And that too, in your freaking sleep!" I yell.

"Oh yeah, it's his fault that you needed saving in the first place." he scoffs.

"Why don't you trust me? When I told you that I am hella serious about this stuff between us and that I don't want heartbreak, you seriously believe that I would do it to anyone, especially you?" I ask.

"I trust you, Iris... it's just... I'm just.."

"Jealous? Why are you jealous, Kevin? When I give every bit of me every day to you, why are you jealous of someone when I just talk to them or offer some help?"

"You slept with him, Iris!" he reminds.

"Yeah, and that means literal sleeping. You close your eyes and sleep. What harm does it do?" I ask.

"You don't understand..." he mumbles.

"And you don't either!" I scoff and storm out into the balcony. I really need some fresh air. I don't understand how this morning has turned out to be this great. Waking up with Caspian and having Kevin yell at my face accusing me of cheating. Why? After all, we've been through, why that? Why accuse me of cheating?

I feel the familiar pressure in my face as tears begin to build up in my eyes. Soon, they begin to stream down my cheeks despite all my attempts to hold it in. I love Kevin. I love him so much and he just accused me of cheating on him with Caspian. And I hate it. I hate fighting with Kevin and I hate what we've been fighting for.

Why wouldn't he trust me? Me, who is new to all this relationship shit, why wouldn't he trust me? He was the player boy! I supposed to not trust him if anything! But I fell in love with him and keep falling for him as every day passes.

I bury my face in my hands and let it all out. Everything from the beginning. Ever since I found out Karen was missing, to this moment. It's all overwhelming and exciting at the same time and yet here I am weak and hurt, bawling my eyes out. 

What a great start for the day?

"Please, don't cry, baby!"

My head jerks in the direction of the voice and I see Kevin. I wipe off my tears and let out a shaky breath.

"Go away!" I choke out.

"Please baby, I am so sorry. Slap me or punch me or even kick me if you want." he pleads.

"If you don't leave right now, I might as well do that!" I huff.

"Then do it!" he says.

I glare at him and begin punching him everywhere with barely any strength. He takes in everything and I start crying again as he holds my hands and pulls me closer, my head falling on his chest. He tightly wraps his arms around me, as I let out my emotions and on to his. 

After all that, his touch is still tranquilizing to me. It is still what my body craves. And it is exactly what I need.

We stand like that, his arms wrapped around me tightly and mine around his, feeling the breeze of the morning wind, flow past our skins.

 I sniffle. "Caspian is like a big brother to me. I will tell you everything once we can be alone, Kevin. He really needed someone, yesterday. If he was alone, I don't know what would have happened. At least, he rested because of me yesterday." 

"I am sorry!" he whispers.

"You better be!" I chuckle. "I love you, Kevin! And don't ever doubt me!" I say looking up into his jade green eyes.

"I never doubted you baby...it's just....let's just say my hormones took over. I had no control!" he chuckles.

"You better keep your hormones in control, mister!" I giggle. "And the next thing you do is apologize to Caspian!"
