I wonder why you hurt me I question all the pain What would make you wanna leave this way? What made you say it's over?
What is taking over? And I cannot believe that I loved ya But it wasn't meant to be 'Cause love wouldn't do this to me
The drive back to the apartment felt like it took longer than usual as I sat in my thoughts of all that had happened today. A few hours had passed from the initial fight between Dro and Dominic. An ambulance had to be called to take him to the hospital. I didn't feel right leaving him in the middle of the parking lot unconscious, so I rode with him to the hospital where he was told he had a broken nose from the impact of Dominic sneaker hitting several of his nasal bones.
He had no family here outside of one of his cousins which I had to call from his phone to let him know that Dro was in the hospital and had to undergo surgery for his broken nose. The whole process took four hours before I was able to Uber back to the restaurant to grab my car and head home.
I was now standing outside of our apartment door afraid to go in too cowardly to face the consequences of my actions. If I was being honest with myself Dominic's behavior today scared the shit out of me. I had never seen him that angry before. The look in his eyes was unhinged like he had tapped into another part of himself. I could still hear the crack of Dro's nose as he kicked him repeatedly in the face. If Pat wouldn't have stepped in he would have killed him in broad daylight.
It hurt my feelings to hear him call me a hoe. He had never disrespected me in that way before, but I had no one to blame but myself. The way he looked at me when he asked if Dro was who I wanted broke my heart. I knew that he meant everything he had said about being done, but I wasn't about to accept that.
I needed the chance to explain myself and tell him that kissing Dro was a mistake. I got caught up in my thoughts and let it linger longer than it should have. I should've pushed him back as soon as he leaned in but I think a part of me was wrapped up in the feelings of being wanted which had me kissing him back for the briefest of seconds.
I truly felt horrible. Dominic didn't deserve any of this. I could only imagine the way it made him feel walking up and seeing me kissing someone other than him. I was disgusted with myself and I didn't know how I was going to be able to fix this.
Placing my key into the keyhole I slowly turned the lock hearing it click alerting me that the door was now able to open. Slowly pushing it open I took delicate steps through the hallway that led to the living room afraid of what I might find when I turned the corner.
A small gasp left my lips as I saw all of my things thrown across the space with no regard as I stepped over shirts and shoes alike. I could see the charms to my Pandora bracelet that he had gotten me for our first Christmas together scattered throughout the room letting me know that he had taken it apart. There was a half-empty bottle of Hennessy on the coffee table which showed he had been drinking.
