Lonely Heart Pt. 6 (End)
Tumblr media
Pairings: Lierra x OC
A/N: i'm sorry that it took so long. And i'm sorry for the shitty ending lol
*Lierra’s POV*
As soon as the concert ended, the couple rushed towards the backstage, they hoped to catch them before they could move on to the next venue. As they reached backstage, the band were half ready to leave. Iris was nowhere to be seen. They bumped to Helena though, “Look who we have here. The so called lovers.” She sneered. ‘Helena, please, we just want to talk to her.” Luke said. “Listen, Hemmings. I grew up with that girl. The last time I seen her like this, is when her sister died. I don’t know what you really did to her. But this past few days, what you made her go through, it’s unacceptable. I won’t let you hurt her even more again.” She said.
“I saw her as a sister. We’re family. Her bastard of a father left her for another family. He didn’t love her enough to stay. I don’t want her go through the same thing again. So whatever you are trying to do, if you ever think of hurting her, AGAIN? I’ll kill you both.” She said, eyes narrowed. “We not trying to hurt her, Helena. We just want to talk things out and settle this.” Luke explained.
“Uh-huh, talk. How am I gonna trust the both of you?” She said. “Look, Helena. We love her, and we’ll never hurt her-“ “Bullshit.” She was looking at them with a raised eyebrow. ‘Well, except that, but we didn’t mean it.” Sierra said. “You can’t just call someone names, then expect them to forgive you, Hemmings. “ She said. “I know. I understand if she didn’t. I just want to make things right. “ Luke said. “So please, let us make things right.” Sierra said.
*Iris’s POV*
“ Hey, lovebirds! Have you seen ‘Lena anywhere?” Iris asked the two. Maia and Julia shakes their head.
“Where are you, ‘Lena?” she thought.
She already checked the whole bus. So she could still be in the venue. She threw on a sweatshirt on walked out. “ ‘Lena?” She called out. No response. She went to check to dressing room, then the showers. She wasn’t there either. The last place she could be is the lounge. She heard talking and went in and see. “Helena?” She called out, her head poked out from the door. “Shortcake, hi.” She said, awkwardly. Iris were busy looking at the couple. “What are you doing here.” She said with a blank look on her face. “They came here to talk to you, bub. I tried to stop them, but goddamn they sure are stubborn.” Helena said, side eyeing them. Iris hid her smile with her sleeve. That sounded like them.
“Don’t you think you’ve done enough? “ She said. They couldn't read her expression. “Thank you for your efforts, Helena. But I’ll can take it from here.” She said. “Alright, do what you need to to do. Call if you need help. I'll be outside” Helena said. She patted Iris on her shoulder and whispered In her ear, “You know I’ll support you whatever you do. Make the right decision. Trust your gut feeling.” Then she walked out from the lounge. Iris’s attention was now back on them. Her demeanour was calm and relaxed. And it’s making them nervous. She motioned them to the couch. “Sit. You wanted to talk, we’ll talk. Let’s settle this like adults.” She said. Sierra was the first one to talk. “We wanted to apologize, Iris. We fucked up. We fucked up big time, ”She said. Iris interrupted. “I got that from the first time. An apology doesn’t magically fix anything, Sierra. What Luke did, and what you agreed on, it destroyed me.
Luke looked down guilty. He had hurt her so much and not had a single care for the consequencenes. He was blinded by his anger to see the truth and broke the woman’s trust. The same woman that he grew up with, the one who puts all her problems aside like it’s nothing, just to help him for his. Sierra, felt the same way as Luke did. Their lover, who stood by them since the beginning, the one who loved the both of them wholeheartedly, who would worship them for the rest of her time, and they foolish act made her doubt her trust in them.
Before Iris could react, the blonde had kneeled in front of her, in head on her lap. “I’m so sorry Iris, this is all my fault. This wouldn’t happened if my stupid insecurities didn’t take control of my head. I thought that you weren’t happy with us. You’re always away, you’re rarely home. It made Sierra sad, and I was mad. You were always drunk and I was worried you’ll become what you were during Daniel and Meaghan-“
“Don't mention them.” Iris cut him off.
‘Sorry. Anyways, I was mad that you always stay out late and come home goddamn early in the morning. We wanted to know why, so we waited for you to come home. Then the news started showing the pictures of you with your friend and that’s when I snapped.” he explained.
“Luke-” Iris started.
“No,” he cut her off, looking up so she can his serious expression, “No. You have every right to be mad at me. I fucked up, Iris. I was so mad and so worried that you didn’t want to be with us anymore.” He said.
Sierra moved to sat beside her next, her beautiful brown eyes glistening with tears. “I’m so sorry, Iris,” she whispered, her voice breaking as she tried to keep her eyes on Iris’s. “I’m sorry too. I should’ve known better. I should've known what the media could do, that they lie. Writing false articles that could turn people against each other. I'm sorry we didn't listen. I'm sorry I didn't defend you. I'm sorry I agreed." she said.
"Please don't leave now, you dealt with us for this long, honey, please don’t give up on us. We were idiots, but we're your idiots that’s been in love with you for years. Let us prove to you that you can trust in us again.” He said. Their hearts feel as if it’s going to burst out of their chests as they waited for her response. They were praying that she'll forgive them.
Finally, Iris whispered, “Guys,” she tried, taking a moment to piece everything together. “You two can be such an assholes sometimes.” They laughed breathlessly at the words, waiting with sweaty palms. “Luke, I will always be there for you, and I'm still struggling control my addictions, and if you ever call me names again, forgiveness be damned,” Her voice was strict, and he nodded at her words. "Sierra, I understand, you did what your heart told you in that situation. It's my fault that you were upset."
In that moment , Luke shifts so that he’s was looking at her again. “Come back to us, honey,” he breathes, his eyes finding hers and holding her gaze, “tell us that you’ll come back to us, we’ll promise not to hurt you again. We’ll make up for all of your tears, let us give you the best years.” “Luke,” Iris brought her hand to cup his cheek. “I love you, bub,” you whisper and he feels his heart skip a beat at the nickname. “Let’s walk before we run, okay? .” Luke looks slightly crestfallen.
“That’s not a no. I’m still unsure, Lu. Give me some time.” She said. “We'll give you anything you want, honey. Just tell us that this isn’t the end of us. Tell us that we haven’t lost you yet.” Sierra said. “You haven’t lost me yet.” She whispered to them. They both moved to embrace Iris in their arms, giving small kisses and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.
A cough interrupted their shared moment. It was Helena, "Iris, I got your stuff in the the bus, it's almost time to go." She reminded. She shifted for a little, the duo took it as a sign to get off. "We'll we see you again?" Luke asked. "We'll be heading to Dublin next. You can catch us there." Helena answered for her. Luke and Sierra nodded before hugging Iris one last time before heading off.
"I see that you three are back together?" Helena said. "Yeah. I guess we are." Iris muttered. "You guess?" Helena said, confused. Iris started to pick on the skin of her fingers. Helena noticed this and softly pulled her hands away from doing the action. "Let's get you back to the bus, okay buttercup?" Helena said. Iris nodded and followed Helena to the bus. "Hey, what took you guys so long?" Julia said. "We ran into some fans, they wanted to take some photos." Helena lied. She looked at Iris reassuringly. Iris shot a thankful one back. Julia shrugged and went to find Maia. "So what's going on? What are you not sure about?" Helena asked her. "Did I do the right thing?" Iris said. "Iris, if you don't want to, Me and Julia can talk with them?" Iris shook her head.
"Keep yourself together, Iris." Iris said. "Its fine, 'Lena. I can handle this. I need now...is a drink." Iris took a beer bottle. "Iris, are you sure?" Helena asked. "Yeah." She took a swig. "Iris. This is not healthy." Helena said. Iris sighed. "Do you that my sister would be proud of me now?" She asked. "Iris, of course she would. You made the dream you two had a reality." Helena went over and hugged her. "I miss her so much." Iris hugged Helena back. "But she would whoop your ass for drinking too much, so stop it." Helena took the bottle from Iris's hands.
*timeskip*
They arrived at Dublin. Luke and Sierra decided to give Iris a video call. Iris heard her phone ring. It was Luke. She answered, their faces popped up on the screen.
"Hey honey."
"Hey."
"Are you doing okay?"
"No."
"Is there something wrong?"
"Do you want this?"
"Want what?"
"This relationship with me."
"Of course we want it, what made you think otherwise?"
"It's just that you two would be better off without me."
"Why would you think that?"
"Before I came into the picture, you two were dating for 2 years, and you two seemed really happy. I'm just scared that you would want that back."
"Iris, why would you think that we want that?"
"..."
"We want you to be here, with us."
"Do you?"
"We do."
Iris went silent for awhile. "Okay." She said. "Are you going to concert tomorrow?" She asked. "Yeah, we're going. Ashton's coming along too." Iris nodded. "Anyways, you should get some sleep." Sierra told her. Iris hummed in agreement. "Goodbye, hun." they said. "Goodbye now." They ended the call.
Iris stared up at the ceiling, thinking about everything that happened.
"Maybe we could be okay again." She thought as sleep overtook her.

Your Loving Is Bible Part 1 (Genesis)
Tumblr media
A/N: Here’s the first part of the Sierra spin off to my A to Z series. I’m really excited to write more of this!!
Warnings: drinking, fighting references 
The sun has turned from a comforting source of warmth to scorching hot. Sierra stretches, arching her back before sitting up. She ties her white coverup around her waist and cleans up her mess. Sweat beads at her forehead and she quickly takes shelter in the lower level of the restaurant nearby. 
After setting her stuff by her feet Sierra settles in a tall barstool. She takes her sunglasses off and wipes at her forehead, her muscles twitching from the heat. The bartender has her back turned to Sierra, her raven hair just reaching the tips of her shoulders. When she turns around Sierra’s stunned. Her bronze skin is like the color of the seashells Sierra’s collected in her bag, warmly glowing from the Florida sun. With long strides she approaches Sierra, a glow in her melting amber eyes. “Hi, what can I get for you today?” 
For a moment Sierra forgets how to speak, blinking up at the woman in front of her. Freckles spread across her cheeks, making intricate constellations. “I uh,” Sierra shakes her head, “I’ve never actually been here before. What should I get?” The bartender smiles wider at her. 
“If I can see your I.D I can surprise you.” She quickly looks it over, when she hands it back Sierra notices red splotches across her knuckles. Before she can question it the bartender is whisking away. While she waits she drums her nails against the counter. “One blue Hawaiian for Miss Sierra.” 
“Oh, thank you. How much do I owe you?” The bartender laughs a little, the dulcet sound warming Sierra up inside. 
“You don’t owe anything. It’s a hot day and pretty women get free drinks on hot days.” Sierra’s cheeks get hotter and she looks down at her drink, a small smile starting to form. 
“I don’t think I can accept this without knowing your name.” She looks back up finally, starting to chew on her bottom lip. 
“Dottie,” she smiles, “my name’s Dottie. Enjoy your drink Sierra.” As Sierra takes a sip Dottie removes herself from the counter, walking to go help another customer. 
Sierra spends her time at the bar smiling into her drink and glancing over at Dottie every so often. When she finishes she munches on the pineapple garnish, a finger circling the rim. Dottie saunters back over, about to take the glass when Sierra places her hand over hers. “Hey, what happened to your hand?” Her features shift into a soft smile. 
“Boxing, it’s my actual job.” She giggles at the confused look on Sierra’s face. 
“Your actual job?” 
“Yeah, my family owns the place. I just help out between training and matches.” Sierra can’t help the way her heart warms at that. “Did you enjoy your drink?” 
The question momentarily catches her off guard. “Oh I uh, yes.” As Dottie smiles at Sierra someone calls her name 
“Sorry I gotta go,” she quickly collects Sierra’s glass, shooting her another smile, “I’ll see you around Sierra.” She’s in a daze while Dottie walks off, only coming out of it when she’s at the beach house with her face in the duvet and Sophie’s hand in her hair. 
A few days go by before the three of them make their way to the bar. Sierra sits right where she was a few days ago, watching Luke and Sophie sit out of the corner of her eye. She actually takes the time to peruse the menu while waiting for Dottie to show up. 
When she arrives their eyes lock, Dottie’s glowing brightly in the sunshine. Sierra’s gaze travels down to her lips, gasping at the torn flesh. She restrains herself from reaching for Dottie’s face as she walks up to her. “What happened?” She asks before Dottie can even speak. 
“Tough fight last night. I’m fine though,” she places her hands on the table, this time they’re wrapped. “So, decide what you want?” 
Sierra bites her lip, looking down at the menu before handing it to Dottie. “Surprise me?” It gets her a laugh, Sierra would kill to hear it forever. 
“One surprise coming right up.” She winks, travelling over to Luke and Sophie to get their order before heading to the back. When she looks across the bar Sophie gives her a thumbs up. It sends a blush across her cheeks and she looks at the counter. 
Unfortunately Dottie can’t linger by her after dropping her drink off. Happy hour is starting for drinks and oysters, tourists starting to flood the bar. Out of the corner of her eye Sierra watches Sophie order a dozen raw oysters. She’s perfectly content to just sit here with her drink for now, watching Dottie speed around. 
When she’s finished her finger circles the ring of her glass again while she tries to twist a cherry stem into a knot with her mouth. “Having trouble?” Dottie’s voice startles her and she smiles bashfully. 
“Do I owe you anything?” 
“No, never.” Dottie pulls the cocktail glass towards her. “Listen I think you’re really cute and I may be being really forward right now but I was wondering if I could give you my number and we could go on a date sometime?” Their eyes meet, Dottie breaking eye contact first to stare at her wrapped hands. 
“I’d love to go on a date sometime.” Dottie’s head snaps up, her mahogany eyes lighting with excitement. 
“I-that’s great, here let me give you my number.” She pulls out a sharpie and Sierra’s arm, neatly scrawling her number from the crook of Sierra’s elbow to her wrist. “I have to get back to work, text me okay?” 
Sierra can only repeat, “okay,” before Dottie is hurrying off again. Swinging around in the barstool she grins widely at Sophie, gathering her bag and striding over. “I don’t need your observation anymore.” Her confidence makes Sophie laugh, downing another oyster while Luke sips on a third piña colada. 
“And why don’t you need it anymore?” 
“Because I got her number and she asked me out!” Sierra squeals, shoving her arm at Sophie. 
“Wow, nice,” Sophie whistles, Luke looking over her shoulder. His cheeks have turned pink but not from the sun. “Lets head back to the house before Luke decides he wants shots too.” She quickly pays a different bartender and pulls Luke up. Sierra is fully expecting all six foot four of Luke to fall against her, bracing herself to catch his weight. It only took not catching him once to realize that Luke has no awareness of his size when drunk… and that he’s even clingier. 
Sierra is laying on her bed, staring at her phone like it’s a rubix cube. A half-written message stares back at her. Sophie lands on her bed seconds later, startling her out of her staring contest. “You still haven’t sent her a text? God she’s probably dying of the suspense.” 
“It hasn’t been that long.” 
“The sun is setting Sierra, it has been that long.” She sticks her tongue out at Sophie before handing her phone over. It only takes Sophie a few seconds to send off a message, showing Sierra the screen. 
“How are you better at being me than me?” Sierra attempts to smother herself in the duvet while Sophie laughs. 
“Because when you get a crush you turn into a flustered disaster.” She presses a kiss to the top of her head. “Also you’re my best friend, I know you from head to toe.” Sophie hugs her briefly and gets back up. “Don’t stay up too late,” with a fond smile she closes the door. Sierra can hear her feet trailing up the stairs, the door closing to her and Luke’s room. 
She waits five minutes, then ten, her heart racing waiting for a reply. The stress and excitement of it all gets too much so she closes the curtains and strips, heading towards her shower. Even with the hot water Sierra’s mind can’t help but trail to Dottie. Her blinding smile and freckled bronze skin. Sierra shakes her head, tilting her face up to the spray of water. She remains under the water until her head is clear and the stress in her shoulders has dropped. 
The bathroom is full of steam when she wraps herself in a robe. It floods out the door and into her bedroom. As Sierra roots through her closet for pajamas her phone buzzes. She pauses, turning to where her phone sits on the nightstand. It buzzes at her again. Sierra slowly picks it up, turning the screen on. 
Dottie: i could take you to my match in a few days and then we could go to the pier?? 
She can’t help the smile that breaks out across her face as her fingers fly across the keyboard. 
Sierra: i think that sounds wonderful 
She sits on the edge of her bed, smiling dopily down at her phone. With a happy sigh she lays back on the bed, holding her phone against her chest. She can’t wait to see her again.

Lonely Heart pt.4
Tumblr media
Warning: Mentions of alcohol.
Iris arrived at the airport along with Ashley. Iris rubbed her eyes and stretched. She lets out a groan, sleeping on an airplane seat wasn’t exactly comfortable. Iris's bandmates, Helena, Maia and Julia was making small talks with each other so they can keep up with what's going on. As they waited for their luggage, Iris went to checked on her phone.
10 texts messages from Lemon Boy 2 missed calls from Boatboi and Mikey 1 voicemails from Si<3 20 texts messages from Lukey<3
She listened to Sierra’s voicemail.
"Hey, angel." Sierra said on the voice mail. "I know I'm the last person you want to hear from right now after what happened, and I just want to say that we're both sorry." Sierra said. "I'm sorry I didn't take your side, sorry that I didn't understand from your point of view. I'm sorry for giving up so easily, but I understand if you don't forgive me but at least forgive Luke." she took in a breath. " He’s been beating himself up. And he barely slept. We went to Ashton's and he explained everything to us. We were so foolish for not give you a chance to explain. We're sorry."
Julia, who’s the bassist of her band, turned around to see Iris with tears in her eyes. "Hey, Iris?" she called out. Iris's head shot up, she cleared her throat and wiped away her tears. "Yeah?" she said. " We got your luggage, ready to leave?" Julia said. Iris nodded. "Wanna borrow my sunglasses? It can help cover up... only if you want to." she offered. "Thank you." she said quietly. Iris took the sunglasses. "No problem, bub." Julia beamed, patted Iris in the head. "Now come on, let’s head to the hotel, but let's go greet some fans, first." Helena said. Well, when Helena said "some fans" she meant crowds of people waiting to meet them.
"OH MY GOD! THEY'RE HERE!" "Hey Iris, can I get a picture?' "I LOVE YOU, IRIS" "WE LOVE YOU"
Iris smiled and took a few pictures with them. "uh..I-Iris?" She heard a small voice  muttered out. She turned to see a girl with brown skin and long black hair."Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" she asked. "I-I made you something!" she said as she handed her a bag. Iris took the bag, in it was a painting of Luke, Sierra and her, and other stuff. Her heart ached. She forced a smile, "Oh my god, did you paint this? It's so beautiful!" The girl blushed profusely and nodded. Iris hugged the girl. "Thank you, sweetie. What's your name?" The girl smiled. "Nia, it's Nia." she said. "Well, Nia, thank you again for this beautiful painting! Are you coming to the shows?" Iris asked. "Y-Yeah I'm going to the one tomorrow." Iris hugged her again. "Can't wait to see you tomorrow then!" She smiled and waved goodbye. Helena, after overheard her conversation with Julia earlier, stayed awhile to wait for Iris. “You okay, shortcake?” she asked. Usually, Iris would protest when Helena called her “shortcake”. But she didn’t this time.
*timeskip*
As they reached the hotel, it was midnight. They got their keycard, and told each other goodnight. She unpacked her stuff, placed her guitar and her gift beside the vanity. She took a warm shower, the water cascading down her back, relieving her tense muscles. She dried off and changed into her boy-boxers and oversized hoodie she stole from Luke. She forgotten that she put that in. The smell of cashmere and him filled her senses and she felt her mood dampened.
She unlocked her phone and opened Instagram. She saw that Luke had posted. The caption said:
For Buttercup xoxo.
He was holding his guitar, as he played a rhythm the she recognized, but she couldn’t remember the lyrics. She had heard them boys talking about this before, but never sung it. He looked so tired, she could see the circles underneath his eyes.
Your type of mind, so hard to find, Native of mine, you're just my kind, Down on my knees, I’ll always follow, I promise you until the end of time.
Her heart yearned to hold the man in her arms and forgive him for every wrong he had committed over the past few days. She knew he was hurting. She had avoided his messages because she was too blinded by her own betrayal and sadness to truly realize what her absence had done to the man.
Such a lonely heart, oh woah Such a lonely heart, oh woah If you can't find another reason to stay Then I know I'm gonna always have a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely Heart, oh woah Heart
He looked physically in pain, yet his emotions was conveyed by the lyrics of the song. Tears fell from her own eyes as she witnessed the man she loved experience such heartache.
Your precious heart, can't watch it break So I close my eyes while you walk away Can I have a second chance? Can I have another dance? Can I start another life, with you? When I wake up in a haze, and I haven't slept in days You're a thousand miles away-
But then she remembered he had hurt her so deeply. But also, she could feel his apology through the verse itself. She knew he wasn't great with words so he'll depend on songs to express what he felt. It was too much. Iris looked away, the sharp pain in her heart gave a shock, her hand reaching up to grasp over her heart. She feels lightheaded. Her chest ached, a heaviness was pressing on her chest. Iris shaked her head, slowly reaching for keycard on her nightstand. Staggering, she stood and made her way to Helena's room. A sob escapes her, her weak attempts of keeping it in failed. "Helena-" she called out. "please...open the door." She curl herself into a ball, tears slipping down her face. She felt the door open. "Iris!" Helena exclaimed.
She open her eyes as Helena's arm wrapped around her, her hand rubbing soothing circles on her back. Maia heard the commotion outside and rushed outside. “What’s wrong?” She asked. She looked at the pair on the floor.  “Hey Iris.” She cooed. “Hey. It’s okay. I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. I’ve got you, okay?” she said. “Iris. Iris, grab my hand.” She look at Helena, confused. "Just do it." She moved her gaze from her hands to Helena's, slowly taking it and holding it in her palm. “Squeeze.” She told her, Iris's eyes drifting up to meet hers. She smiled reassuringly. “Go on. Squeeze as hard as you can.” Iris's tightened her hands around Helena's palm, her eyes still on her face. "Keep going.” She nodded.
“Now match my breathing. In, out. In, out.” Maia whispered, her hand still rubbing circles on Iris’s back. Iris tried to concentrate on the way Maia’s chest, moving up and down, attempting to copy with her own breathing. There’s an overwhelming scent of Luke lingering on every breath she take. “Hey, hey, hey. Focus on me, Iris.” Helena said, snapping Iris out her thoughts, “That’s it. Well done sweetheart, you can do it.” Maia reasurred. They stayed like that for a while; Helena whispering reassurance, Iris’s matching Maia’s breathing. Finally, after what felt like forever, She stopped shaking and her heart rate slowed back down.
"You okay, now? Do you need anything? I could get you water, snacks, anything..?" Maia asked. "Just stay with me, please." She clinged to them ."Alright." She said. "Would you like to tell us what happened?" Helena asked. Iris told them about Luke and about Sierra's voicemail. "He looked so sad, did I mess everything up?" She whispered. "No, Iris. He snapped at you. He should've listened to your reasons before jumping into conclusions like that." Maia reassured. “Look, I want you to stay with me for a little bit, okay?” Iris began shaking her head, ready to pull out of her grasp. “Oh, ‘Lena, no, it’s okay, I ca—” “Iris, please,” Helena begged. “Just for tonight, yeah? You’re not in a right headspace for you to be alone right now.” Iris nibbled on her lip, sniffling and conflicted as she timidly asked, “Are you sure?” Helena nodded firmly. "Alright then." Iris whispered.
"Can you walk?" Maia asked. "I-I think s-so" She said, attempting to stand. The pair supported her back so she could stand. And helped Iris to back to Helena’s bed. "Sit tight, I'll grab some stuff from your room, okay?" Maia asked her. "Okay." Iris mumbled. "Just rest, do you want to postpone the concert tomorrow?" Helena softly asked. Iris rapidly shook her head. "No, no, no. I'll be fine, don't worry. i can do it." she rambled. "Alright, now go get proper sleep." Helena said.
*The next day*
Ashley went to check her phone. There was a text from Ashton.
[7:10 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: Hey Ashley
[7:10 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley: Hey Ashton, what's up?
[7:11 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: Nothing much
[7:11 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: I only wanted to know how is Iris, she doing okay?
Ashley looked at the woman on the bed, She went to check on her in the morning, to find she’s in Helena’s room. Iris was curled up in the covers, her eyes slightly puffy and her cheeks are flushed. But other than that, she sleeping so soundly.
[7:12 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley : She's okay. Helena told me had a breakdown last night but she okay now. She still sleeping though. She said she had pains in her chest, I’m worried.
[7:14 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: Oh god, I knew that something was wrong. Is there something I can do to help?
[7:14 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: Please tell me, I want to help.
[7:15 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley : I don’t know about that, Ashton. And you're in LA and we're halfway around the world. We went to check up on her, she was burning up.
[7:18 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley: i think she's getting sick.
[7:20 am, 11/10/2019]  Ashton 5sos: But I can fly out there, I can go see her
[7:20 am, 11/10/2019]  Ashton 5sos: I want to see Iris better, she’s like family to me.
Iris stirred, little whimpers could be heard from her. “No……please” she whimpered. Helena shushed her back to sleep.  Ashley lightly felt Iris’s forehead for any signs of fever, and she was unusually warm.
[7:21 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley : Ashton, your band needs you more, you're working on your album. what would your management say, when they finds out that you’re flying out, just for her.
[7:23 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley : I can take care of her, Ashton. Trust me.
[7:24 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: The album can wait, we have a lot of time, and the boys, I’m sure that would understand. Fuck the management! I don’t give a damn. I want to know if she’s okay,  I need to see her if she’s physically and mentally okay.
[7:27 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley: Fine, but wait, if she gets worse, you can come and also, don't come to me if Iris starts throwing hands. You know how she is, chaotic yet so kept-together.
[7:30 am, 11/10/2019] Ashton 5sos: I don’t mind if she tries to throw hands, you have no idea how many times she did. But I be glad to see her okay.
[7:30 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley: alright then. Look i have to go, duty calls y'know. See you later, Ashton. I’ll update you if anything happens.
[7:30 am, 11/10/2019]  Ashton 5sos : Alright!  Thank you, Ashley.
[7:33 am, 11/10/2019] Ashley: No problem.
Ashley placed down her phone, sighing.  Iris stirred awake. “ Iris, you’re awake. You feeling better?” Helena said softly, stroking Iris's bed hair so it'll look a little bit neat.  They heard a muffled "yes" from her. “Come on, now, we have an live session to go to” Ashley said. “Oh yeah.” she got up, stretched for a bit and yawned. “Go get ready, We’re leaving in few hours.” Ashley reminded. “Okay, see you then.” Then Iris went back to her room.
Her phone was still on the bed. She switched it on. What greeted her was hundreds of notifications from Twitter and Instagram. Fans tagged her in a news post. 
“TROUBLE IN PARADISE? POLY TRIAD, LUKE HEMMINGS, IRIS ADLER AND SIERRA DEATON, DID THEY BROKE IT OFF? OR SOMETHING REALLY DIFFERENT?”
“Days after the pictures of the lead vocalist of The Temptresses, Iris Josephine Alder, who was assumed to be cheating on her partners, Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds of Summer and Sierra Deaton, former singer from Alex & Sierra.”
“The lead vocalist of 5SOS posted a 2 minute clip of a new song for their upcoming album, CALM. Following it, was a caption that said, “For Buttercup xoxo.” Is the mysterious “Buttercup” , Iris herself? The rockstar was seen with singer, Halsey at the Heathrow Airport in London the day before for Halsey’s Manic world tour with Iris as the opener.”
Iris scrolled through the news, until one specific line she read struck her hard.
“The couple was seen walking out of Starbuck at Midtown, LA. They looked pretty happy, maybe they would much be better off without Iris-“
Better off without Iris.
Better off without her.
Iris threw her phone at the mattress, rushed to her bag and pulled a flask. She knew it was bad, and Ashton would give her a lecture about it. But she couldn’t resist.  She drank.  When she emptied the flask, she was buzzed. It wasn’t enough but it numbed her for a bit. She prepared herself, slick backed her mullet,  put on light makeup and wore presentable clothes. She chewed on some mints, just to make sure. She was ready.
here's the outfit: 
Tumblr media
It slightly covered her neck tattoo, a reminder of them. She wanted to cover up or hide anything that reminded her of them. She couldn't handle the sight. She reminisced the passionate nights they had. The quiet mornings they shared, Iris loved those moments, when she was with them, everything felt right.
*Flashback*
It was December. Snow slowly fall from the sky, Sierra knows just how much Iris adores the snow. They both do. Luke enjoys the way he see the pure amazement light up in her eyes. They stared at her as Iris looked out into the world outside. It like giving a child the gift they always wanted on their birthday. Sierra was the first one to break, she slipped on Iris’s oversized cardigan. Her steps are quiet as she crosses the room to sit beside Iris. “Hey angel” she cooed, her palm caressed her face. Iris’s fluttered shut, her lips curled into soft smile. “Mornin’ Si “  she mumbled, face instinctively nuzzled into her palm.
Luke decides to join them, he put on his sweatpants, and stood behind Iris but his arms snaking around her waist , she shuddered at the coldness of his fingertips. “ You’re freezing, Lu.” She said. “Couldn’t help it, lovey. M’two girls left me to fend the coldness all by m’self” He said as he pouted. “Sorry, Lu” Iris said. She reached out to brush a stray curl behind his ear. “M’can properly see your pretty eyes now, Lu. It’s so blue, like the sea, very pretty.” She rambled. She turned to Sierra, “Your’s pretty too. It reminds me of nature. I wanna paint both of your eyes, but it wouldn’t be the same.” She rambled again. “And why’s that, angel?” Sierra asked, stroking her cheek with thumb. “I couldn’t get the colors just right. Yours, It’s like different shades of browns and blacks. And Luke’s different shades of blue.” She said. “I don’t have the talent to do it either. My skills….they’re mediocre.” She said, her concentration on the subject faltered. Her eyes was glued to the window, watching the snowflakes falling, some sticking to the glass and others falling to cover the ground below.
“Angel?” “Hm?” Her eyes still glued to the snow covered scenery outside. “Look at us, honey.” Luke he asked quietly. Iris looked at them. “Your art skills are extraordinary, don’t ever let yourself down like that.” Luke said.  “That’s right, Lu” Sierra agreed. Iris sheepishly looked away. “Hey, don’t look away..” Sierra cooed. She hooked her finger under Iris’s chin and lifted it up . They both gave her a kiss on her cheek. “Wanna go outside and play with the snow?” Luke said. “Mhm, maybe later. It’s too early in the morning. Wanna spend this moment with m’favorite people.” She whispered. That morning was quiet and peaceful. She would give everything she had to experience it aga-
“Iris.”
*Flashback ends*
“Iris.”
Iris snapped awake from her daydream from the knocking outside her door. "Coming!" She said. Ashley, Helena, Julia and Maia was outside. "We've been calling you for minutes now, you okay?" Ashley asked concernedly. “We almost had to restrain Julia for breaking down the door.” Maia joked. "Just got lost in thought, that's all. Look I'm ready, I just have to grab my bag and guitar, then we'll be off." She rushed into room, shoved her phone into her bag and slunged her guitar over her shoulder.
"Let's go."

Iris was drinking shot after shot at the bar, she couldn't remember how much but she knew that it was a lot due to the state she was in right now. Amera, who was her friend that happened to work at the bar, was looking at where she was sitting. They were concerned for Iris, knowing that they would have to stop serving her soon, as Ashton told them that Iris had an addiction to drinking and it would be dangerous for her to keep going like that. Her bandmates left for a early night, after Iris convincing them that she’ll be alright by her own. They called an Uber to pick Iris up and send her home. "Come on, Iris. Drink some water, you can't go home in this state. You know what happens if you drink too much". Amera said. "But Ameraaaaa~ I don't wanna stop, it's the only thing that distracts me from the paain~" Iris slurred. " I know, hun. But your partners are gonna worry about you and besides, you're going to start the tour the day after tomorrow! And I know that you'll need time to prepare and I'm so not gonna make you have a bad hungover tomorrow so you can focus on packing your things!" Amera reasoned. Iris stared into space for a moment, then she drank the cup of water in one gulp. "Can I have another one?" she mumbled, slowly sobering up. "Sure, hun." They said, handing her another cup of water. And Iris gulped at down as well. "Come on, hunny. I've called an Uber for you, it should be here any minute now." Amera said. "Mhm, alright then" she slowly got up, almost tripping and falling on her face. "Here, I got you." They wrapped their arm on her waist and slung her arm over their shoulder. They were half-carrying, half-guiding Iris to the Uber that was waiting outside the bar. Iris was giggling at the pigeons down the street. Amera was laughing at her buzzed state. Both of them were distracted. Too distracted to see that some paps were taking photos of them from a distance. *Timeskip*
“Ma’am, we arrived at your destination.” The driver said.  Amera asked him to wait for a while, the driver nodded. Iris stumbled out the vehicle and walked towards where Amera was standing and hugged them. “ Thanks, Amera. You got my ass outta there before I got in too deep,” she said, sheepishly, scratching her neck. “ It’s no biggie, consider this as a payback for getting me out of the toxic place back in ‘09″ Amera said. Iris shrugged. “You didn’t have to ‘Mera, I had to do something back then, and I’m glad I did.” She smiled. 
“Okay then, It’s getting late, get your ass inside before your partners get worried!” Amera playfully shoved her shoulder. “ Okay, okay no need to get rough” she pouted at them. Amera laughed. “ Alright, alright! Get back home safely okay?” Iris said. ‘Okay, see you soon, hun. Not too soon, you’ve been coming to the bar every night for a week.” They said. Iris laughed nervously. “I’ll try,” she said. They hugged each other before Amera got on the Uber and left.
Iris stepped inside the apartment, she was mostly sober now.  She carefully placed her shoes on the cabinet and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water. She heard footsteps behind her and she turns around to see a furious-looking Luke and sad-looking Sierra. “Where have you been,” Luke said. His eyes burning with fury. “Out,” Iris said, drinking the rest of the water. “To where exactly?” he asked,  “Downtown LA, out and about. Who got you knickers up in a twist. why are you looking at me like that?” she said, her face was blank. She knew that Luke rarely get that angry. So whatever this is, it must be serious.
“Downtown LA, huh? You’ve said that last night, and the night before that! Nevermind that. Who is this?” He said, shoving his phone at her face. The photo showed Iris and Amera coming out of the bar earlier. “Are you cheating on us, Iris?” Sierra said. Her voice seemed to sober Iris up. “Of course not. I would never!” Iris said. “  oh really? Like she isn’t practically holding you all touchy-feely like, god you’re such a whore!” he yelled venom in his voice. Her body tensed. “Do you really think that little of me? Don’t you trust me?” Iris said. “ Well, You’ve been going out all week, I wouldn’t be surprised if you went around sleeping with other people!” He shouted. “For fuck’s sake Luke! Do you really think I would do that ?!” She shouted back. “I don’t know?! Maybe you would?!” He yelled again. Iris looked at him, then at Sierra. She was staring at the floor. “ Sierra? Do you have anything to “claim” that I’ve done? Are you agreeing with him as well?” Iris said.
Sierra looked at her. “Yes. I agree with him, Iris. You haven’t been spending time with us lately and you always act so distantly and suspicious! I just...I don’t know, maybe you are cheating!” she said.
Iris’s eyes widened. “Wow, the two people that I thought trusted me actually believed the paps than me...” She thought. She then stared at them, her eyes filled with unshed tears, betrayed and disbelief. “ I really can’t believe you two, you trust the paps more than me?” she said, quietly. “You haven’t given us anything to make us trust you the whole week! God! Now I know why Daniel and Meaghan left you. ” Luke said. Iris frozed in shock. How could he? She didn’t noticed the tears streaming down her cheeks. “Fine. I-I’ll guess the both of you hate me and want me to leave? It’s okay. Save you breath, I’ll go.” she said with a monotone voice. She grabbed her coat and left the apartment. Her head was spinning. She grabbed her phone and called the person that was on top of her contacts.
“Hey, Ash?” Iris said with a shaky voice. “Hey, Sunshine. What’s wrong?” His voice was filled with concern. “Can I come over?” she said. “Of course, Sunshine. Have you forgotten you live here too?” He lightly teased. Iris lets out a soft chuckle. “Yeah, Katniss is with you right?” she asked. “ Yes she is, she has been waiting for you, I’ve fed her already. You don’t have to worry.” he said. She sighed in relief. “Thanks, Ash. Your a lifesaver.” she said. “Yeah,yeah. Now hurry over, it’s getting rainy and it might have a thunderstorm.’ he said. “Alright then, see you there, bye.” “Bye!”  
She started walking. Rain starts to pour. She sighed and pulled her hood over her head and start to run.

Warnings: Mentions of abuse. and Luke being an ass for 1.5 seconds.
It was pouring. Iris was shaking and her legs burned. She was soaked to the skin. She felt so tired, mentally, and physically. "Almost there." She thought. She quickly walked to the apartment door and knocked. She heard shuffling and the lock open. "Holy shit, you're drenched!" He said. "Yeah, No shit Sherlock." She said. He quickly stood aside and Iris shuffled in. Katniss, Iris's Golden Retriever, ran towards her and practically tackled her. Iris gave her a soft smile and pet her. "Hey Katniss, did Ashy treat you well? " She cooed. Katniss lets out a bark. She held Katniss close and started sobbing. Ashton, who came back with a warm towel, rushed to her side and kneeled beside her. "Hey... Sunshine, why are you crying? Did something happen? Do I have to beat someone up?" He said, wrapping the towel around her and slowly stroked her back. She leaned against him, her tears falling even faster. Katniss tried to wipe them by nuzzling her face into Iris's. "Luke and Sierra thought that I cheated on them." She said, sobbing. "What?! You were at the bar the whole week with Amera, right?" He said. "Yes, I was with them. But I drank too much today, they stopped me before I took it too far. They called me an Uber and even help me get into the car, paps took some photos and claimed that they were my new lover." She said, her hand gripping his shirt, tightly. "Did you tell them that Amera was asexual and was interested in men, right?" He asked. "I tried, they didn't have me a chance to explain." She sighed. "I'll go to my room, okay?" She said. "Wait. There's something you're not telling me. What is it?" He said. She avoided his eyes. She mumbled something that Ashton couldn’t hear. "Come on, sunshine. Tell me." He said, his hands were on her shoulders, making her face him. "Luke called me a whore..." She was looking at him now, her eyes were filled with tears again. "WHAT?! That ass-" "Ash, please. Don't be angry. It's okay. I haven't been honest about my whereabouts either, I didn't tell them I was at the bar, drinking because I was having nightmares about my abusive and toxic exes." She said, quietly. "But still, he can't just call you a whore though," he said, angrily. "Ash, calm down. You're scaring me," she said. He sighed and rubbed her shoulder in a comforting manner. "Sorry," he said. "I think I want to go on tour a day early. I’ll talk to my bandmates and Ashley, I can't stay here anymore. Besides, it's great to reunite with some old friends, right?" She said. "Yeah, I think Ashley will appreciate that. She has been waiting for this day. To tour with your band." Iris chuckled. "I believe it was the other way around, Ashton," she said. He laughed.
*Timeskip cuz I Idk how to write*
“You’re gonna meet Ashley at the waiting bay right?” Calum said. Iris nodded. Calum and Michael rushed to the airport when they found out that Iris is leaving early. Luke and Sierra were nowhere to be seen. Iris’s heart broke. She was hoping what happened yesterday was just some twisted dream. She sighed and hugged the three of them. “We’re gonna miss you, buttercup,” Michael said. She smiled at the nickname. “M’gonna miss your dumb asses too.” she joked. “Heeeeey” Ashton whined. Calum ruffled her short hair, making Iris giggle. “Come on, You’re gonna be late,” Calum said. “Alright, Dad.” she joked. “Hey, you can’t go around calling people that. Luke will start a riot.” Michael teased. Her body tensed. Ashton smacked the back of Michael’s head and Calum glared at him. Michael's eyes widened and mouthed “sorry” to Iris. She simply smiled and mouthed “It’s okay” to him.
She waved goodbye as she walked to the security check. Her heart felt heavy. She didn’t know what to feel anymore.
*Meanwhile in Luke’s apartment*
After Iris walked out of the apartment, Sierra broke down. Luke held back his tears while holding Sierra in his arms. He felt confused and angry. He saw the look in Iris’s eyes earlier, he saw betrayal and hopelessness. He was confused about why she would feel betrayed when she was the one that did the wrong thing. He just held Sierra tighter and whispered comforting things in her ear.
After a few moments of them holding one another, they headed to bed. Sierra went out like a light while Luke was staring at the blank ceiling. Many thoughts filled his head. Why? Why would she cheat on them? Weren’t they enough? “Oh my God, I called her a whore!” He thought. He knew that Iris never liked these like kind of words because it reminded her of the past relationships. He remembered the time that when they were 19, where she came home beaten up from her ex-boyfriend. He never wanted to murder someone badly at that moment.
*Flashback*
Someone was knocking on his door at 3 a.m in the morning. Luke groaned and shouted, “I’m coming!” he opened his door to reveal Iris, who had a black eye and multiple bruises on her body. “Luke...” she said before collapsing. He panicked and decided to bring her inside. He put her on his couch, quickly reaching for his phone, and text the boys.
Luke: GUYS!
Michael: What the hell Luke. It’s 3 in the morning!
Calum: Why are you complaining? It’s not like you’re sleeping anyways!
Luke: It’s an emergency!
Ashton: What’s wrong Luke?
Luke: It’s Iris.
Calum, Michael, Ashton: We’re coming over.
He threw his phone at the loveseat next to his couch. He went to the kitchen to grab some ice. When he came back, Iris was already trying to sit up. “Hey, don’t try to get up yet. You’re still disoriented,” he said. “Is he here? Oh my God, he’s coming for me. You got to run, Luke. He’s gonna-” she rambled. “Buttercup, hey, hey, hey, calm down for me, okay?” he reassured her. “Who’s coming for you? Why do I have to run?” he asked. “Daniel, he- he’s angry. He’ll hit people when he’s angry,” she said. Suddenly, rapid knocks came from the door. Iris screamed and held on to Luke.
He held her close while they both walked to the door. Luke looks through the peephole. It was the boys. He opened the door Ashton went in a hugged Iris. He looked at her up and down. His wants worried face turn into anger. "Who did this? Tell me Sunshine. Who hurt you?" Ashton asked. "Close the door, will you Luke?" She whispered. And he did. Michael and Calum were angry too. "It- it was Daniel," she said. Luke and Ashton sprang up. They look like they wanted to murder someone. Michael put a hand on their shoulders to calm them down. Calum sat beside her and stroked her back. "Why did he hit you, buttercup?" He asked, softly. "This time I did make dinner he came back drunk-" "What do you mean by "this time"? Iris, did he hurt you before?" Luke asked angrily. "Lucas let her finish," Calum said. He looked at her. "He came home drunk, screaming profanities, and called me a whore as well..." She said, sobbing. A sharp intake of breath can be heard from Ashton. "Why?" Calum asked. "He doesn't like me hanging around you guys." She said. "So he'll "punish" me for doing so." She said, crying. Luke was fuming.
Speaking of the devil, there were shouting outside the apartment. “I know you’re in there you bitch!” the voice shouted. Iris held on to Calum shirt, She was shaking badly. Michael and Ashton marched towards the door. They opened the door to see a very intoxicated Daniel. "Get out of my way, I'm here for Iris." He mumbled, angrily. "No, we will not move," Ashton said. Daniel saw Iris holding on to Calum on the couch and became more violent. "There you are, slut!" He shouted. Michael and Ashton tried holding him back. " What did you call her?!" Luke said loudly. " A fucking slut." Daniel sneered. Luke's fist was on Daniel's face in a matter of seconds. Daniel staggered and fell. "Don't. Ever. Call. Her. That. or you'll never see the light of day again. He said between punches. Michael held Luke back, Ashton roughly grabbed Daniel's shirt collar. "If I ever see you within a mile-radius from Iris again you'll be a dead man." Ashton threatened. Daniel cowered and ran away. Luke kneeled in front of Iris. Iris lets go of Calum's shirt and fell into Luke's arms. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She was crying harder. Luke held her tightly. (but not too tight.) With one arm steadying her waist, and another one rubbing her back. "It's okay, buttercup. We're here. I'm here."
*End of Flashback*
He snapped awake from his daydream from the sound of his phone’s ringtone. He got up and answered his phone. “Hello?” Luke said. "Lucas Robert Hemmings, you fucking asshole!" Ashton shouted through the phone. "Why the fuck are you shouting, Ash. It's fuckin' 4am!" Luke whisper-shouted. "You don't know how badly I wanna beat your ass right this second." He said angrily. "What did I do?" He said. "WHAT DID YOU DO?! YOU CALLED IRIS A WHORE, THAT'S WHAT YOU DID!" Ashton shouted again. Luke rubbed his face and sighed. "She was cheating-" "She wasn't cheating, you dumbass! She was at the bar, drinking. The woman that YOU thought Iris was cheating on you with was an old friend of ours. Their name is Amera, They’re in a serious relationship and are asexual. So there's no fuckin' way that Iris cheating on you. You know that she knows how painful it is of getting cheated on. So do you both really think that she'll do that?!" Ashton scolded him. And now Luke knew, he fucked up. "Shit, Ash...." He whispered. "Yes, shit. You hurt her Luke. She came to my home, soaked through from running in the rain. She was trying not to cry in front of me, Lucas. Calum and Michael know about this as well. And god knows what they'll do with you, Lucas. I swear, if you don't do anything to fix this, you'll lose a great one. She's the one that put up through all your shit since day one, you got that?" Ashton said. "Yes...yes I got it," Luke said, regretfully. “Good. Now I’ll let you go make an apology. And a really good one.” Ashton said before hanging up. Luke sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. 
Movement can be heard from behind him. “Luke?” He heard Sierra whisper. “Sorry I woke you up,” Luke said. “No, No, It’s okay. What wrong?” Sierra said, slowly making her way towards him. “Honey.....We fucked up.” He whispered. “ Sorry, I can’t hear you well enough. Can you repeat it?” she said.

(A/N : Hi again! I’m excited to announce that the song “You” in this chapter is written by me! :) So pls don’t steal it :( And I’m also less busy this month so part 6 might be out soon! So yeah, hope you enjoyed this chapter, See you in the next one!)
*Luke’s POV*
They arrived at Ashton’s. His palms are sweating, and his throat was getting dryer by the second. Sierra placed her hand on his shoulder, slightly calming his nerves. They stood in of his door. He hesitated on knocking, Sierra had tired of waiting and knocked. Nothing happened at first, Luke knocked this time. There were footsteps, and the door opened. “Look, its early in the morning, so what the fuc- Oh. You two. He groaned.  “ I-Is Iris here?” Sierra asked him.  “You didn’t check your phones?” He said, slightly irritated. The two took out their phones.
They checked their messages:
[10:00 pm, 09/10/2020] Iris <3 : Hey. Just wanted to tell you that I’m leaving for tour early. I cleared up everything with Ashley and my bandmates. I will be leaving at midnight tonight. You’re welcome to come and see me off, only if you want to. I’ll be with Ashley for the while leg of the tour, we might have separate shows, but we’ll wait for the management announcement.
[10:00 pm, 09/10/2020] Iris <3 : I just wanna say that I apologise for being so distant , I’ve been in a really bad headspace lately. I’m sorry. It’s my fault for making you mad, making Sierra upset and everything.
“Fuck.” he whispered. Ashton was staring at them, arms crossed. "Have you realized what you've done?" Ashton said. They didn't have the chance to speak. "You absolutely wrecked her, you know that? Both of you. I thought you're better than this. She came here, soaked to the skin. She could get sick, and you both know that she gets sick easily. She was trying to keep herself together. She on a verge on an attack, thank god Katniss was there to calm her down. I wanted to march up to your house and beat your ass . But Iris wouldn't let me, you know why? it's because she loves you, Lucas. And that's the only thing stopping me from beating your ass." He scolded. Luke was looking at the ground, ashamed.
"And Sierra, you know what the media could do. They'd do anything to tear people apart, fuck with their mental health, twisting lies into stories with without knowing the real truth. One article could turn people against each other. I really thought that maybe you would understand a little more about this." He said. Ashton was disappointed. He sighed. "Now that you have your answer, I have a lemon tree to save. Goodnight." He said, closing the door on them. The two walked back to their car.
What were they gonna do now?
*Iris's POV*
The live session was a blast. Once she felt sensation of the bass, the sound of the guitar, the kick of the drums, she never felt so alive. They were covering "I Don't Love You" by My Chemical Romance. She felt the problems slowly melt away when she started singing. She sang each verse with all she got. It was pure, raw emotion, the one that could make everyone tear up. It's like she was a different person. Long gone the Iris that was depressed. The Iris on stage now was, way more brighter and her eyes seems to shine with unshed tears. This side of Iris only comes out when she's performing. Usually, without the tears. The crowd cheered her on. She was smiling. The trio gave each other knowing glances, once the adrenaline from performing wears off, she would go back to the woman she was before.
Sad and empty.
They thanked the crowd and the host and went backstage. They were buzzing with adrenaline. "You guys, wanna grab some food before we go back to the hotel?" Maia said. Julia and Helena nodded. "Iris?" Helena said. Iris's head snapped up. "You okay there? Your lookin' a little bit pale, shortcake." Helena said. Iris rubbed her face. "I'm alright, Just need fresh air, that's all. Maybe something to eat." She said. The trio was looking at her worriedly. "Guys. I promise, I'm okay, don't worry." she shyly smiled, nervous from the looks her bandmates were giving her. "Macca's?" Julia said. "Sure." Maia said.
*timeskip*
"That's all your going eat?" Julia said. Iris was eating her veggie dippers. "Yeah. I'm not that hungry." she mumbled. "Bullshit. You haven't eaten anything since last night." Julia said. "Take some my fries." Maia said. "Maia, I can't take it. It's your food." she declined. "Iris, we won't let you fuckin' starve. We have a long night of performing coming up. And you need the energy." Maia said. Iris stared at the ground. Helena rubbed her back, "Please, Iris. We all know you have haven't been doing well." Maia said. "Fine."
"Good girl." Julia said. "Wow, Julia. I didn't know you were into that kinda of stuff~" Iris teased. Helena choked on her drink. Julia looked at Helena, confused. Maia shoved Julia's shoulder. The look of realization dawned on her face. "Oh. Iris, you kinky bitch." She said, smirking. "Well, someone's gotta be the Yuri in this club, and you guys don't have to balls to be him. " she teased again.
They heard cameras clicking.
"Paps." they said in unison.  “Shit.” Helena mumbled.  “We have to get out of here, quickly.” Julia said. The group got out and tried to get to Maia’s car. Iris was soon cornered by the paps.
“Iris, you know they can do better!”
“Is it difficult having TWO partners? Having to be jealous all the time and fighting for attention – what does that feel like?”
She kept quiet.
“What do you think to the rumours that you cheated on them? There’s evidence of you spending the night with a mysterious female.”
“You’re really nothing special though are you? They won’t stick around for long, whore.”
“We’ve seen the scars on your arms.”
“Don’t you think that’s a bad image for your band?”
“You should look into conversion therapy, disgusting whore.”
“What about your partners? Should they have to deal with that on top of everything they should be doing?”
“You’re nothing but a slut. A cheating, useless piece of shit.”
“You’ll be better off dead.”
“'Lena…” She mumbled, searching for any of her bandmates over the crowd, she felt her vision go hazy for a bit as she desprately tried to push through the paps. She was so close from losing her sanity. The paps was closing in, blocking her in. Insults was thrown her way. She was going to break.
Then she felt their arms. Helena's strong hand gripping hers and pulling her into their arms, cradling her against her chest and Julia pushing through the crowd telling the paparazzi to fuck off along the way.“Get away from her!” She pushed the paps away from the duo while Helena helped Iris up. “We just want answers!” One of the paps shouted back at them. “Well, you’re not gonna get any so take your camera, shove it up your fucking asshole, and fuck off!”
They got her into the car. Maia drove away from the scene as fast as she could. Iris's hands was shaking. “Iris?” Julia ask, her hand moving to cup her face. “Iris, come on.” Julia pleaded, she was desperately trying to help her calm her down, holding her hands and trying to help her breathe. “They said such horrible things.” Iris mumbled. “They’re just trying to get a response.” Helena said.
"Can we call, Ash?" she meekly asked. "Of course, shortcake." Helena said. Julia called him.
"Hey, Julia. Is everything alright?"
"Um... about that."
"What's wrong?"
"Well, we had a run in with paps eariler and they cornered Iris."
"What?! Is she okay? Did the paps do anything?"
"Well, they verbally harassed her. We might ask management to file a lawsuit. As for Iris? She's the reason why I called, wait a minute-
"'Lena take the phone."
Helena took the phone from Julia.
"Hey, Lemon boy"
"Hey, Helena. Is Iris with you?"
"Yup. Let me hand the phone to her."
"Thanks"
She passed the phone to Iris.
"Hey, Ash..."
"Hey, Sunshine. Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?"
"They were closing in on me, taking photos of me and said bad things."
"What kind of bad things did they say, sunshine? "
"That I’m not good enough, they keep insisting that I cheated. They said that I look into converstion therapy-"
She was startled by Helena's hand on her shoulder. "Let it out." She mouthed to her.
"They joked about my scars, they said I would be better off dead." she choked out.
"They what?! Oh, Iris, I'm so sorry."
She sobbed.
" Iris, listen."
"What they said.... it's all lies. You hear me? They are lies. You are not what they paint you to be, they don't know who you really are. You are amazing. You are the most amazing person I know, the boys loves you.... even Luke. He came by with Sierra the night after you left. I didn't do anything, like I promise. But you bet I gave him an earful. But all that aside, Iris, you deserve to be here, and you are good enough. You make people happy. Your fans? They all love you, you make them smile, you make them feels safe. This will pass, things will get easier. I promise you."
"What if I fail to do so, Ash? What if I disappoint everyone?"
"You won't. Trust me, you are not a failure. You will get better. You will heal. You will be stronger than ever. You will make it through this."
"Are they alright?"
"You're seriously asking that? You're not okay and you're asking if they're alright?"
"Please Ash... I want to know."
They arrived at the hotel.
"Yes, they are. You don't have to worry. All you have to worry now is me giving you a lecture. Look outside."
"What?"
"Just look outside."
She looked outside to see Ashton, giving her one of his signature smiles. Beside him.....Luke and Sierra.
"Ashton?"
"Hey, sunshine."
She paled. She turned at the bandmates and chuckled shakily.
"Am I finally going crazy? Is they really here?"
She looked at Luke and Sierra, laughing disbelievingly. Shaking her head, she walked up to them. She prodded Luke at his chest angrily, as she laughed. "You had the fucking nerve to show up here." She was chuckling yet crying in the same time. "Where were you, Lucas. Where the fuck were you when I needed you?!" she said. She stumbled back, shaking her head. Iris's knees gave out. Maia reached out to steady her. "Can we get out of here, please?" She whispered to her. Maia looked at Helena and Julia. "Let's get her inside." She said, quietly. They nodded. They moved to get her inside. Sierra moved to stop them. "Let's talk this through, please." She said to Iris. Helena glowered at her. She stood in front Iris protectively.
"After what you've done, you think you could just come up here and expect her to talk? After the pain you put her through? No, ma'am. You lost that right." Helena said. "Hey, don't talk to her like that." Luke defended her. Julia stepped forward. "Don't think we forgot about YOU, Hemmings." She said. "You don't get to come up here, all high and mighty and expect that we let you go that easily." Helena said. “You two are fucking dumb if you really believe that's a way to treat our bandmate.” Maia said.
“If anyone should be arguing, it should be me.” Iris said, as she straightened up and six pairs of eyes snapped to her. "Thank you for standing up for me, guys." she said to her bandmates. They shrugged and smiled. "Pop off, bestfren." Maia playfully winked at her. Iris smiled and turned to face the duo. The look that they gave her made her newfound anger surge.
“You both don’t get to look at me like that.” She snapped, causing them to reel back in suprise. They never seen her this mad, never at them. "If you gave me the chance to talk back then, we wouldn't have this bullshit." she said. Their faces fell in guilt. The Iris she was before this would've cave in and forgive them but she was seething with anger now to care.
"If you'd noticed the sleepless nights I had, the bag under my eyes. If you'd have cared to even try and listen to what I had to say, maybe I wouldn't be fuckin' pissed at you right now!" Iris snapped and Luke flinched back.
If they'd only looked into her eyes, they would see the bottled up emotions that was threatening to explode. It felt wrong to see Iris so angry. She was always been the one to break up arguements, not start them. "Did you know how much suffering you caused me? Do you know how much pain I've been through? I never asked for this, you know? I never asked for us to fight. I hate fighting, you know that?" She said. She looked at them, they were looking down to the ground.
"Look at me." she pleaded. Her anger disappated. Their heads immediately snapped up."I d-don't think I contribute to this relationship anymore." her broken voice reached their ears.
"Iris!" They called out, but she's gone. Luke frantically searched for her. "Luke, we still have one more chance." Sierra said. "Sierra, there's no more chance. We lost her." He said. "And it's all my fault." he whimpered. "Luke, honey. We have her concert tickets, thanks to Ashley. Let's not waste this chance alright?" She said.
*timeskip*
Two hours till the concert. The stage staff were moving around, making sure that everything goes well. After the encounter, Iris fell in the hotel bed and proceeded take a long nap. And woke up just in time for rehearsal.
Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours. Iris drank some vodka that was prepared by the staff, it did so little to calm her nerves. She was pacing around. “Iris?” Her makeup stylist called out. Her head shot up, “Yes, David?” She said. “It’s time for your makeup, and then your outfit." He reminded. She smiled softly at him, "Alright, I'm coming."
She got dressed and sat on the chair."So what would we like on this wonderful night?" He said prepairing the brushes. "I was thinking of skeleton kinda look. Some black, a little red." She said. "That sounds good. Would you like some to put glitter on the black part?" he asked. "Sure" she nodded.
(A/N: Here’s the outfit. Credit to @boy..brainr0t for the makeup look)
Tumblr media
They made a small talk about the weather and the upcoming shows. Half an hour later, David finished. "Wow, you did a great job! I love it so much, thanks David! " Iris said, her mood brightened. "No probs, Iris." He said with a smile. She side hugged him and left the room.
"Looking good, shortcake! That choker looks deadly, in a good way." Helena hyped her up. Iris flushed. "Enough about me, look at your mohawk! The spikes are as deadly as my choker! " She said, smiling. "Can I.... touch them? " Iris said. It was like a child asking for candy. "Knock yourself out, shortcake. " She shrugged. Iris's eyes shined with excitement and she poked it. "It's rock hard, did you use hairspray?" she asked, "I did. Used a little bit of hair pomade. Gotta make sure it won't fall while performing." Helena explained. "That's cool." Iris giggled.
 "Hey, cuties!" Julia hollered from arcoss the room. "Its almost time, get your sexy asses over here!" Maia said alongside Julia. "Alright, alright, we're coming!" Iris shouted back. "You look like Gerard Way, Iris." Julia said. "Awh, Julia that's nicest thing you ever said to me" she joked. Julia playfully punched her in the shoulder. "Heeeey" She pouted. "Hey guys!" Ashley jogged over to them. "Hey, Ashley" They said. "You ready to go up there?" She asked. "Yeah, it's been a while since we last went on stage, still kinda nervous, but excited." Iris said. "Excuse me, sorry to interrupt, but you guys are up in 10" the stage manager informed them. "Alright, thank you for informing us" Julia thanked the staff. "You welcome." the staff said, then walked away. 
"Go get ready, I can't wait to see you guys out there." Ashley said, before leaving to get ready herself. "You ready?" Maia asked. " As ready as I'll ever be" Iris said. Her eyes shining with excitement. The group fistbumped each other and went on stage.
"GOOD EVENING, LONDON!" Iris screamed into the mic. The crowd screamed. "ARE YOU READY?" The crowd cheered. "WE CAN'T HEAR YOU" The crowd screamed.The intro for their song "You" started playing.
You, 
The thought of you makes me sick
Heaven and Hell doesn’t scare me anymore
Not when your with me
Why you gotta be so greedy?
I’m giving all I have to you,
But you keep asking for more,I’m dying, can’t you see? (Look at me)
My blood stains the floor
And I know you love seeing me like this
When it comes to you, (you temptress)
You act so innocent, like an angel in disguise
Always painting yourself as holy
But your tainted halo says otherwise, my dear
Iris sang, stomping her feet to the rhythm. She was smiling, looking out to the crowd. And then she saw familiar head of curls. It was Luke. Her eyes widened, trying to maintain her composure as she sang. She looked at Julia, who noticed them too.
Look at what you’ve become
My still beating heart you hold,
Your knife against my throat.
I’m on the floor, barely breathing (Gasping for air)
My mind tormented by your lies
There’s no escape from you (Never)
There’s no saving for me
“Oh, my darling sweetheart” you said,
With your hands around my neck 
“Let me own you” you whispered
Your cold breath makes me shiver
Death knocks on the door (It’s time)
She puts on a facade, performing all the energy she had. Maia and Helena soon caught up with the situation immediately. They were soon picking up on the energy that Iris is giving out. She was nervous. Very nervous.  Her heterochromia eyes instantly found blue ones.  She wanted to run off stage but her pride wouldn’t let her. What would the fans think of her if she did? She didn't want to be coward.
*Lierra's POV*
They were standing somewhat near to the stage, same as the people that are there, they were all waiting for the show to start. Soon, Iris came on stage along with her band mates. The crowd screamed and cheered.
"GOOD EVENING, LONDON!" she said. She sounded so different from 4 hours ago. She looked beautiful as always, her facial features were enhanced by her stage makeup. "ARE YOU READY?" They cheered. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" They cheered even louder.
Iris smirked. "Helena, darling. If you please." she said. They both knew it was her persona on stage to be a little flirty , but Sierra couldn't stop but feel a little bit of jealousy. Helena was smirking on the screen. " ONE, TWO, THREE-" Helena said, before she started playing the drums. The intro sounds familiar to them. Then Iris started singing.
In their eyes, she was the most ethereal being they ever seen. She was confident when she sing, it was beautiful.
Midway through the song, their eyes met. Luke could see her eyes widening. She turned to Julia. Julia gave her a brief nod. She turned to the front, with a smile on her face. He gave Sierra a look.She shared the same look, they clearly knew that she was faking her expression. And the thought of that made them feel even more guilty.
*Back to Iris*
Look at what I’ve become
My still heart you hold,
Your knife still against my throat.
I’m on the floor, still and silent
My mind corrupted by your lies
There’s no escape from you
There’s no redemption for me.
As she sang the last verse, the crowd cheered and clapped. She was a little sweaty and she was a little out of breath.  She kept on smiling. Her bandmates joined her at the front. Ashley comes on stage next. “Good Evening, London!” Ashley said. The crowd screamed. “ I would like to thank my good friends, The Temptress, for their AMAZING performance tonight!” She exclaimed. The crowd screamed again. "You welcome, Halsey." she said. 
In the corner of her she saw a sign. The sign said "It's Nia!". Her eyes shined. "Well won't you look at that, Hi Nia." She waved at the girl direction. A group of girls were screaming as she said that. "Thank you again for the wonderful gift you gave me yesterday, darling. I really appreciate it." She said. The group screamed again. She was smiling. A real smile. The camera was on her and the crowd screamed again. She and her bandmates said their goodbyes to the crowd and Halsey and went off backstage. 
She took off her facade and became unsually quiet. She plopped on the couch and drank the vodka she poured for herself. Her friends didn't know if they should comfort her or give her space. "Hey, shortcake." Helena said softly. Iris just leaned against her, her head on her shoulder. "You okay, bub?" Helena said. Iris just buried her face further into her neck.
 "I don't know, 'Lena."

Lonely Heart pt.3
Tumblr media
Sorry it’s so short, and it took so long! I had exams and Jess had some uni stuff to do. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! The next chapter will have some of lyrics from the song in it, so stay tuned! ~ eli
After passing security check, Iris made her way to the gate,  where Ashley (Halsey) was waiting for her. Iris looked around in search for the lady. She see a flash of black hair at the corner of her eye. “Ashley!” She called out. The lady around with a big grin. “ Iris Alder!” She said loudly with a laugh. They hugged each other.
“How have you been?” Iris asked her. “ Great! I’m really excited to go on tour with you! It’s been quite a while since we last hung out. how are you?” she asked her. Iris sighed. “Could’ve been better,  still working on the new album with the gals. And as I said to Ashton, I do think that I’m the excited one here! This has been our dream tour, ever since we met at that bar a few years back, right?” she said, smirking. “It’s more like a bet, but I’ll take it.” Ashley shrugged. Iris fake pouted. Ashley chuckled and ruffled Iris’s curly hair. Iris whined and playfully shoved Ashley. “Speaking of the gals, where are they?” Ashley asked. “They should be here anytime now.” Iris said. As if on cue, her three bandmates stumbled in. ”We’re here!” The three said in unison. “Great! Now let’s go!” The airport staff opened the gate’s door for them to go in.
*meanwhile* Luke went silent after he repeated the words to Sierra. He raked his fingers through his unruly hair.  He didn’t know that to do, million thoughts raced in his head.
Why did I let my insecurities control my thoughts?
This is your fault Luke, you ruined everything. Just like you always do.
As for Sierra, she felt tears slowly running down her face. She was overwhelmed with guilt. She should have believed Iris. She let the ugly thoughts get to her. The couple have been together for years now.  They both should’ve known better. As they both get lost in their emotions and thoughts, a scratch was heard outside the bedroom, breaking the silence. Luke opened the bedroom door to find Petunia. The pup was whining and barking. Making her way to Iris’s side of the bed, and laid there. Their hearts broke. Petunia was sad abou it as well, the pup whined and soon fell asleep.
“Sierra?” Luke whispered.  She turned to look at him. “Let’s go to Ash’s” he said. She tilted her head in confusion. “In this hour? Why?” She said. “She’s staying there.” Luke explained. She nodded and they both got dressed.
*Back to Iris* Iris stared out the airplane window, her cheek pressed against the glass. Her bandmates were asleep. Warm tears made their way down her pale face. She dreaded airplane flights, the turbulence that makes the plane shake makes her scared. But this times, she didn’t cared about it. She was so lost in her head, she didn’t feel Ashley softly tapping on her shoulder. She averted her gaze from the window, to the concerned Ashley beside her. “Why are you crying?” Ashley whispered. Iris didn’t noticed the tears, she quickly wiped her face with her cardigan. “I-It’s nothing.” she said quietly. “Iris, you rarely cry. Whatever that making you cry, it must be something really bad. I’m not gonna force you to tell me, bur it’s better if you do. It might make you less sad.” She said, softly.
“Have you seen the pictures that the paps took yesterday night?” Iris asked. Ashley nodded. “They claimed that you cheated, right? Wait. Don’t tell me that…” She was cutted off by Iris’s shaky voice. “Luke and Sierra believed them.” Her voice cracked. “ We had a fight, A big one. I didn’t have a chance to speak my part. Luke called me names and used my past relationship against me. I felt betrayed. He knows what kind of person I am, we fucking grew up together. He knows that I know what’s it like to get cheated on. It’s something I would never wish for anyone to experience. ’ She said, her head ached, thinking about her past lover. ” So then I glanced over at Sierra, hoping that she would understand from my point of view. but guess what?“ She said as she chuckled disbelievingly. ” She backed him up, and Luke said that he wouldn’t be surprised if he found out if I was sleeping around with strangers, that I’m still an alcoholic. And Sierra agreed with him, I admit that I have been drinking a lot lately, going out for nights on end. I had a reason for my actions, but never had a chance to explain.“ She whispered at the end.
"I’ve never seen Luke that angry before. He reminded me of Daniel in that moment, it honestly scared me.” she whimpered. Ashley wrapped an arm around her shoulder comfortingly. She moved the arm divider so she could hold Iris against her.
“Well, first of all, I’m so sorry that happened to you. Second of all, how dare they take a stranger’s word instead of someone they have been with for a long time, someone that always love them and cherish them no matter what?! It’s not fair for you. It must have been agonizing, knowing that someone you loved so dearly have used your insecurities against you and not stop and think that their words can affect your mental health. It’s like they don’t remember that you have feelings.” She said. “But listen, let them cool down, process their thoughts. And wait for them to realize that they’ve fucked up. And that they’re going to lose someone really precious to them, alright? Trust me.” Ashley finished. She held Iris close, placing her cheek on top of Iris, who’s head was on Ashley’s shoulder. Iris’s shoulders were shaking. She was trying her hardest not to let out a tiny sob. She didn’t want anybody to see her in this state.
*Timeskip, back to Lierra* The drive to Ashton’s was tense. Sierra noticed that Iris’s car was still at it’s usual spot, that means that Iris didn't use it, and that also means that she went to Ashton’s apartment in the pouring rain. Her heart clenched and tears start to cloud her vision in the thought of Iris. Iris knew that she’ll get sick very easily. “How could she be so reckless?” Sierra thought, already knowing the answer. Meanwhile, Luke’s knuckles turned pale from gripping the steering wheel too hard. He was furious at himself. How could he let his insecurities go that far? Why didn’t he stop himself from letting those words escape his mouth? He knew it was his anger talking. But it was too late to take back what he said, the damage has been done.
