Oh mon Dieu! - Damiano David

August 2018

The damage was done. The four of them were looking at the door that Margot walked out of. There was nothing in Damiano's mind that he could have said or done to stop her from leaving as soon as his ex-girlfriend walked into the door. Behind that door, Damiano was happy, but now that door was used by the love of his life to leave possibly for the final time. He was sad, he was hopeless, and he was raging. Raging with anger from the blond girl with short hair that was watching the door that caused him pain with a satisfied smirk.

"Did you think that you could go behind my back and get with another girl?" – she asked. Thomas finally snapped out of his daze and gave the blond a good look. "What do you mean go behind your back? Are you delusional? Last time we heard from you, you called us all lousy good for nothings and left from the apartment? And now you come in here and have the audacity to insult our friend? Just get out!" – Thomas shouted at her. She just smirked all the way through his little speech, waiting for Damiano to snap out of it and defend her Infront of his friends like he always did. To all their surprise, Damiano just quietly left and went to his room.

From there he could hear his friends and his ex-girlfriend argue it out while he grieved for the girl that he lost. The girl that was the source of his happiness for that short period. He had a clear plan of his future with her... He planned to do whatever was possible to remain in a relationship with her after their holiday was over. He was willing to spend half of his time in Paris and half of it in Rome no matter what in his life would suffer. He was willing to do everything for her, but when the time came for him to prove his love to her, he froze... He froze and did not defend the love of his life in a time when he needed to. He lost the love of his life to a scum of a woman.

Damiano was pulled out of his thoughts by a few knocks on his door. He opened the door and there stood the woman he loathed the most now. "Damiano, quit with the bullshit. You had your fun with that little whore." – she called her a whore to get a reaction out of him, which she did not. He just stood in front of her and shot daggers into her soul. "I let you have your fun and cheat on me!" – she continued but got interrupted for the first time by Damiano. "I did not cheat on you! We are not together! Why can't you get it through your head? We are done! We are over! We are not together anymore." – he shouted. "Don't be a fool Damiano. You know that that will never happen. You and I are together." – she smirked for the hundredth time that day which went to Damiano's nerves like crazy. "Now, wash your face, get dressed and let's go out for dinner. We need to celebrate our relationship. You remember that you signed a contract, right?" – she reminded him.

What no one except for Damiano and his ex-girlfriend knew that Damiano basically sold his soul for the band. The only reason the band got successful is because he agreed to date the daughter of the record label's boss. Damiano thought since she did not want to be with him because she did not believe in them that the contract was over... What a foolish thought that was...

March, 2019

This was the day Damiano dreaded the most. It was the day he was supposed to propose to his girlfriend. A thing that was pre-planned by her father, the head of the record label that Maneskin were part of. A deal was a deal. He would propose to her, even though he was in his opinion way to young to get married, and Maneskin will get their contract extended with the record label for another year. A day did not go by without Damiano thinking about Margot. He followed everything she did, he heard all the songs written about him. He noticed everything, the dark circles under her eyes at every show, he noticed all the wrong people she surrounded herself now, and he noticed all the men going after her. It made his blood boil that someone would talk about her in that way.
It made him furious that he could not call her and tell her to get more rest because she very obviously needed it, he wanted to call and ask her how her father was and her cat, and her grandparents. He wanted to invite her to Italy, he wanted to go see her when the band was performing in Paris. He wanted a life with her, but he gambled all of that away when he signed his soul to the devil.

So, he did what helped him forget her when thinking too much. He drove to the nearest bar right after making his engagement public and started drinking till the early morning light. Glass after glass, he drank his sorrows away. He drank all the memories of her away, but the drinks could never erase her. She was a drug that left permanent damage on him. The wound of what he did to her still fresh. He got in a car and decided to drive until he could not anymore, probably one of the worst decisions he could make. He was way beyond drunk to be behind the wheel. As he was driving down the highway, he decided to drive down to the village where it all started. On the way there, his drunk mind decided to call her, but not before getting tons of calls from his bandmates to check on him and see how he was and potentially congratulate him even if they did not approve of his choice.

With tears in his eyes, he dialled her number, hoping it is the same and hoping she did not block him. Most importantly, he hoped she did not block him. The rings from the other side of the phone went on, and he patiently waited for her to pick up, which she did. As soon as he heard her voice, he broke down. Tears were streaming down his eyes as she begged for the called on the other line to answer her. Damiano got out of his trance and replied. He told her he was driving towards their village, and that he was under the influence, that he missed her and wished it was her he was going over to visit in their village. A place where he felt happier than ever, and he told her that. He told her what she meant to him; he poured his soul to her while she remained silent on the other line.

He asked her how she was, how her dad was doing and her cat, if her grandparents were well and if she was getting enough sleep. He told her how proud he was of her and how he could not wait to see her perform live, all while she remained silent. Just her small breaths could be heard from his side of the phone. He broke down, as she told him that he needs to stop and sober down. He could not tell her that the reason he is drunk is her. But, as she was begging him to stop, their call was interrupted by Vic calling. He accepted Vic's call and ended his with Margot. As soon as he did, he parked on the side of the road, and sobbed his lungs out.
