Chapter 13: If You Wannabe

🌹Iris Pov,

Ezra tosses her head back laughing as I laugh along with her very, very contagious guffaw and not because of what she said. Her pretty forest green eyes crinkling as she covers her mouth to stifle the snort she keeps letting out.

"I cannot believe he did that." I say as she starts to sober up, my cheeks pained from my wide smile that refuses to budge and give my face a rest.

"Oh believe it. Senio can be a real idiot sometimes." She rolls her eyes with a smile as big as my own as she says this, her blond ponytail swishing with the soft shake of her head.

"Of course I know that but I can't believe Luca broke his arm and you find that funny."

"What can I say I'm a bit of a sadist when it comes to that little prick." She shrugs her shoulders. "Plus he had it coming, he's annoying and well for a lack of better words just plain annoying. He invoked Luca's wrath, he knew what he was doing. Everyone knew not to talk about you and he just had to start poking fun at him about the whole....situation."

I wince. " Still breaking his arm. That's messed up, Ez. It's his brother." Leaning forward, I whisper as if Luca is waiting around in the shadows and will break my arm for saying this. "His only sibling."

"They just have an odd relationship," She nibbles on her lower lip as she speaks, eying the door way before flicking her green eyes back to me, hesitation in what she has to say next. "They didn't grow up the same way we did after all especially Luca. But I'm sure they love each other, they just show it in their own special way and like all siblings they fight."

They weren't brought up the way we were especially Luca...what did that mean? What the hell was that supposed to mean?

I don't ask it though not to her. I'd ask Luca. He'd tell me, it was his story to tell anyway not hers.

"I'm really glad your back Iris, it really hasn't been the same since you left. He wasn't the same. I thought I'd lost two friends."

"You never lost me Ezra, we talked over the phone every chance we got."

"Yeah I know but after you left you kind of distanced yourself from everyone here, and yeah we communicated but it was barely. You were busy with your new life." It was bitter but true statement.

Maybe that is what I had done. Thinking of Luca had pained me and they were apart of Luca, they were his friends so I gave myself space from them.

"I'm sorry, Ez."

"It's fine, Iris. You're here now."

We both share a smile.

"So I'm curious,"

"When are you never?"

Shooting her a look that was more playful than mean, I ask. "What was he like when I was gone?"

Ezra's face contorts.

"Grouchy."

"Isn't he always like that?" I say with a laugh.

"True but he was normal grouchy times a million. He also drank a lot, at periods of the day that one should not be drinking at. He bed a lot of women, did some wild stuff that I'd rather not know of." She shudders and pulls an expression of disgust. "He's like a brother you know and I do not want to know what my brother does sexually."

She shakes her head and continues on, recounting what Luca was like.

"He didn't talk much to anyone, didn't go out and when he did barely stayed for an hour. Lost his temper more times than I can count. Then he just changed again. Cleaned himself up, stopped drinking so much, went celibate,"
