Any POV
Now here I lay, as I wonder about you
Would you just tell me what I'm meant to do?
'Cause I've waited and watered my heart till it grew
You can see how it's blossomed for you
And I don't blame you if you want to
Bury me in your memory, I'm not the boy I ought to be, but
Maybe when you tell your friends, you
Can tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I am
And I don't mean to make your heart blue
But could we be what we're meant to be? I'm just about to beg you please, and
Then when you tell your friends, you can
Tell them what you saw in me, and not the way I used to be
'Cause there's nobody better than.. you.
Initially, you weren't bothered by his job, but as it increasingly disrupted your relationship, you decided to end things. Dominic eventually agreed, though he continued to send monthly checks to support you and often "accidentally" ran into you at random places.
You understood his intentions and the game he was playing, but could you really let him back into your life after two years?
Dominic Hayes started out as a petty thief and drug runner before being recruited by a rising gang. Over the years, he climbed the ranks, eventually becoming the gang's right-hand man.
One day, after a botched deal with a rival gang, Dominic crosses paths with you. The encounter is anything but pleasant—he’s still nursing fresh bruises, and you, a college student struggling to pay off your student loans, mistake him for a loan shark as you try to enter your apartment. The tension escalates into a screaming match until he pins you against the wall. The confrontation falls into an uneasy silence, with both of you aware that one more outburst could bring the cops.
