Despite having the shower on, Iris could still feel tears running down her cheeks as she rested her head between her knees, crouched on the bathroom floor. After ending things with Evan, she just didn't really know what to think anymore. She sat there, with the back of her head against the wall, Iris lets out an exasperated sigh and reminisced of the Island she went with her best friend, Allison, which was a couple of months back.
"Why can't I just go back to June of 2012? Why must that weekend end?", Iris said to herself. The Island was where she realised that she no longer wanted a relationship with Hagan. Overwhelmed by the fact she just started college and how her friends always had the best times because they weren't committed to anyone, Iris wanted it too. The Island was perfect. Bonfire, party on the beach, impromptu swimming in their undergarments at midnight with Allison under the stars..they even managed to make some new friends there. Everything was just amazing. But that weekend ended in a flash and it was back to reality.
Iris was never one to spill out her emotions. She would probably cry over something that annoyed her but when it comes to something that was significant, that was when Iris would just bottle up her feelings and pour her heart out in her purple covered diary. Iris stood up, walked over to the sink and turned on the tap. She splashed cold water on her face, both hands gripping the side of the sink, she looked up, right in the mirror and said, "No. You can't be sad Iris. You have to stop crying. No." She walked out of the bathroom, with a purple colored cotton towel wrapped around her petite body, telling herself that she felt fine, knowing that it was a lie.
