Thin lines between love and hate

Chapter 6

Dominique POV:
When I got home and went straight to my room, I just didn't feel like being bothered with. My parents haven't gotten home yet so it's just me and my sisters. When I got to my room I got my night clothes and my undergarments from my drawer and a towel and wash cloth from the bathroom and I went to take a hot shower. I was in there for a while, longer than I intended and everything that happened last night kept replaying in my head and I began to feel tears forming In my eyes and with that I just let it out. I cried and cried until I couldn't cry anymore, I got of the shower, dried off, put my clothes and went to lie down on the bed and just stared off into space. The more I thought about the things that were happening, the sleepier I felt and I finally drifted off to sleep not wanting to know what would happen tomorrow.

Ray's POV:
I walked into house frustrated as ever, and after everything that happened with me and Dominique today and yesterday I just couldn't take it anymore, I needed to calm myself down and just relax. I mean I really didn't mean to hurt her feelings and as for her to claim that I don't care about her feelings was a false statement because I do care about them and I know she may try to act all tough out in public but deep down inside she's fragile and sweet, just like the Dominique I fell in love with and I miss that side of her. I was about to head upstairs still in my thoughts but they got interrupted by my dad calling me "Ray we need to talk" he said sounding like he was about to yell at me " talk about what dad, I don't feel like talking right now ok" i said getting annoyed with my father but I knew I couldn't compete with him on this "Ray, I didn't ask you what you wanted ok so lose the attitude and come here" he said with a little more empathizes in his voice so with that I just went to the table and sat down wondering what he wanted to talk about but I had an idea on what it was...the argument with me and Dominique.

"So do you want to discuss the things that happened with you and Dominique" he said " ummm, no not really I just wanted to go to my room and be left alone if you don't mind" I started to get up but he pushed me back down " your not leaving the table until we talk about this and I don't mind standing here and night but you on the other hand should mind because you have school in the morning so suggest you start talking" he said with this serous and somewhat sinister look on his face which meant if I don't start talking soon he's going to make me and with that I told him everything.

" well son, things like this happen when your in a relationship but I guess in your case it's not really a relationship" finally at least someone gets it around here I thought to myself "so what do I do dad, how can I fix this" I asked really wanting to know the answer to my question "well...how about you confront the situation and discuss the issue with her and maybe she will lighten up a little but I mean after all, what you said was pretty mean so I can understand why she wouldn't want to be bothered with you" I let out a big sigh knowing my father was correct "have you told her you were sorry yet" he asked " I've tried but she doesn't want to hear it" I said really wanted to leave at the moment "well why don't you take I slowly and one day at a time" he said "thanks dad" I said with a slight smile on my face, I got my things and headed to my room and got my things ready to take a shower because after that pep talk I needed to process everything and taking a hot, long shower will help me do that.
