Destiny: 5

''Shut up!'' Evelyn shouted and looked angrily at me. ''Stop talking about that Dominic person! It so annoying! You barely give me some attention!''

It was a few months later and Evelyn and I just got in a fight. I'd been complaining about Dom, that he'd forgotten to call me or visit me and apparently something snapped inside Evelyn. She'd thrown our meal into my face and kicked the chair away.

''You know what?'' she hissed and walked closer to me. ''I think you don't even love me. You just hooked up with me because you have no one anymore. Dom left you and now you're all on your own.''

I gasped and my eyes began to water. How could she say that to me?! ''T-That's not true, Eve..'' I said weakly.

''Don't call me, Eve!'' she shouted and slapped my cheek hard. I yelped and put quickly my hand over it. ''My name is Evelyn, and a cunt like you is not allowed to call me Eve.''

I whined and began to cry, she was right. I was all on my own now. Dom left me and I barely talked to Chris, because he lived quite far away and he didn't like Eve - I mean Evelyn -  at all.

She took her engagement ring off, threw it right in my face and ran to the bedroom. Last week I'd asked her finally. I'd been waiting for that moment for weeks and finally I'd enough confidence to ask her. We were in a little, Italian restaurant and it was quite romantic. She immediately said yes and I'd never felt so happy before. But all those feelings were gone now.

She walked back into the living room with her case and put on quickly her shoes and coat. She walked out of the front door and slammed it. I gasped, ran after her and screamed panicked, ''Evelyn! Come back, please! I love you!''

''Go away, Matthew!'' she screamed angrily and ran out of the building. ''I don't want to see you ever again!'' She sobbed, ran even faster and crossed the road without looking up. And at that moment she got hit by a car and I saw how she flew through the air, and landed hard on the ground. The world began to spin around me and I felt like I was going to throw up.

I ran quickly to her, knelt down and stroked her hair. ''Evelyn?'' I said softly and rolled her onto her back. Her eyes were closed and some blood was dripping down her face. I swallowed heavily and looked up at the car driver, who was running towards us. ''Call an ambulance!'' I yelled. ''Quick!''

He nodded, took his phone and called quickly for an ambulance. It arrived soon after and I stayed with Evelyn the whole time, holding her hand and sobbing quietly.

''Mr. Bellamy?'' Doctor Nicholls asked and walked towards me. I looked up, sniffed and wiped my tears away. I'd been waiting in this stupid room, sitting on those very uncomfortable chairs for hours, because I wasn't allowed to see her.

''Yes?''

He sat down next to me and smiled kindly. ''I'm sorry to tell you this, but,'' he sighed and looked at his clipboard. ''Miss Johnson is in a coma.''

''W-what?'' I looked at him and blinked a few times.

''A coma,'' he repeated and smiled softly. ''I'm really sorry.''

''She can't be,'' I whispered shakily and rose from my chair. ''I want to see her.''

He nodded, stood up and walked down the hallway. We walked through a door, cleaned our hands and I followed him again. ''Here.'' he whispered and opened a curtain. I sobbed loudly when I saw Evelyn in a bed, her eyes closed and a heart monitor next to her. It beeped and I sighed, kind of relieved. I walked closer to her, sat down on one of those horrible, plastic chairs and took her hand in mine. I linked our fingers together and squeezed softly. Doctor Nicholls smiled sadly, closed the curtain and walked away.

''I'm sorry,'' I whispered and tears rolled down my cheeks again. ''I should have listened to you.. You were right... I talked too much about him and I should forget him..''

I stayed with her the whole time and kept talking to her, because I knew she was still there. She would fight for it, because she always did that. She would always fight for things, like she did with me. My cheek was purple and swollen, but it was my own fault. I deserved it. And it was the only thing I had from her.

Sometimes her family visited her. I never told them about what happened, I was too scared they would hate me after it. I told them someone started to beat us up and that he'd hit her so hard she ended up in a coma. I didn't know if that was even possible, but they believed me so it was okay.

Chris visited me with Colin and I smiled widely when I saw them. They were the only people who could make me happy now. Well, Dom of course too but I was 100% sure he wouldn't come to visit us. Chris hugged me tightly and sat down on the chair next to me. ''I'm sorry,'' he said and patted my shoulder. ''It shouldn't have happened to her.''

I shrugged and played with Colin's hair. ''It's my fault, Chris.''

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. ''Why?''

''Because,'' I swallowed heavily and whimpered. ''We'd a fight. She was angry at me because I talked too much about Dom, and she ran away. I.. I think she did it on purpose.''

''Of course not, you tit.'' he pushed me and sighed. ''I'm sure she wouldn't do that, I know her well enough for that.''

''But, Chris,'' I looked up at him and sniffed. ''We'd fought about it many times. I think she was done with it now, and done with me...''

He threw his arms around me and hugged me tightly, squeezing all the air out of my body. I gagged and he let me go with a laugh, making me smile. It was silent for a while until I let go of Colin's hair and looked up at Chris. ''Have you talked to Dom?''

He nodded and sighed. ''Sadly, yes.''

I frowned and looked confused at him. He looked back at me and shrugged. ''It seems like he hates me too. Or he was high, I don't know. But he didn't sound well. I think you should visit him again.''

''I can't leave Eve,'' I said softly and looked at her fragile body in the bed. ''Not now.. She needs me.''

''I'll stay here with Colin, all right?'' He looked at Colin, who nodded. ''So you can go, Matt, it's fine.''

I sighed, rose from my chair and grabbed my coat. ''Thank you Chris,'' I said, looked at him and smiled softly. ''For everything.'' He smiled shyly, shrugged and I giggled. I quickly put my coat on and ran out of the room and out of the hospital. I stopped a taxi, got inside and gave him the address.

We arrived after a short ride and I knocked on the front door of his house, but of course he didn't open it. ''Dominic Howard!'' I yelled and knocked on the door again. ''Open it or I'll... or I'll...!'' I sighed and frowned. ''I don't know what I will do but just fucking open the door!''

I waited and waited, and sat down on the ground and waited again. I looked at my watch after a while and sighed, I'd been sitting there for already half an hour already. ''I'm still here, so just open it!'' I yelled again.

The door opened after five minutes and I looked up at Dom, my mouth falling open. He was thin as fuck and the bags under his eyes were even worse than the previous time I'd seen him.

''Matt!'' He said happily, jumped outside and lifted me up. He hugged me tightly and grinned. I hugged him back and frowned. He giggled, threw me over his shoulder and ran into the house. He slammed after him, ran to the living room and threw me on the couch. ''What do you want? Tea? Coffee? Something else?'' He said, almost as fast as I always do.

''Eh.. Tea...'' I said confused and he ran to the kitchen. I frowned and looked around me. He'd cleaned his house since the last time I'd been here, but how was it possible that he was so strong while he was way too thin?

He walked back into the living room with my cup, placed it on the table in front of me and sat down next to me. He looked at me and grinned. Slowly I turned my head to him, smiled softly and raised my eyebrow. ''What made you so happy?''

''Oh, eh..'' he giggled and shook his head. ''Nothing! Am just happy!'' he giggled again.

''Err, okay,'' I nodded. ''Well, thank you for the tea.'' I grabbed it and took carefully a sip. Suddenly Dom started to pull at my shirt and I looked up confused at him. ''What are you doing?''

''Wanna get you naked.'' he muttered and pulled at my shirt again. I frowned, placed my cup back on the table and looked at him.

''What did you say?''

''I want to take your clothes off.'' he grinned, grabbed the back of my head and pushed our lips together. I whined and tried to get away, but he was too strong for me. He moved his lips against mine and began to unbutton my trousers. I gasped, pushed him away and fell off the couch.

''What the fuck, Dom?!'' I shrieked and rubbed my bum - it broke the fall. He looked at me, winked and licked his lips. I tried to stand up and looked down when my hand touched something soft. I frowned, grabbed the little pack and gasped when I saw the white powder inside it.
