Thin lines between love and hate

Chapter 33

The next day
Dominique's POV:
I didn't get any sleep last night, and I had a headache once again. I'm really not making it easier for myself, so I decided to clean myself up and take another walk. I grabbed some sweats, a t-shirt and under garments and went to take a shower. When I entered the bathroom I noticed that my eyes were red and puffy and my hair was a messy, but at this moment I didn't care. I turned on the water and waited for it to get hot, I removed my clothes and hopped in the shower. Many thoughts raced thorough my head as I began to think about what occurred the night before; I felt a few tears run down my face. But it was also brought to my attention to what my mother always told me and my sisters.

It's so hard to forget someone when they gave you so much to remember.

And

Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about.

I always loved those sayings. There isn't going to be a day that will go by without me thinking about Ray. I know I hurt I him and I had no intention to do so, I will always love him.

Ray's POV:
Another day and no sleep. I still can't believe Dominique cheated on me, she was the love of my life, she meant the world to me. But it doesn't matter now, everything we had got thrown away, so much for trust right.

I stayed in bed for a few more minutes and thought about what my life would be like in the future now that Dominique is no longer apart of it.
I forced myself out of bed and picked out an outfit and and went to take a shower. I needed some time to think. After standing in the shower for a good 20 minutes, I got out and dried off, wrapping the towel around my waist and going back into my room. I was about to put on my clothes when I got a text from my mother.

Text convo

Mom: hey
Me: hey
Mom: Brandon called me and told me what happened. Are you ok?
Me: I've been better
Mom: do you want to talk about it?
Me: maybe later. Right now I just want to be left alone
Mom: ok, that's fine. But whenever your ready to talk let me know
Me: ok, I love you 😘
Mom: I love to too baby😘

Text convo over

After I sent my last text, I put on my remaining clothes and went to go sit in my front room when I got a call from Brandon.

Phone convo

Me: what man!
Brandon: there's no need for yelling, I just want to talk
Me: does it sound like I want to talk to you right now
Brandon: listen man, you can be mad at me al you want to, but I'm going to tell you right it's not going to make anything better for you. So can we talk please
Me: yeah, I'll be there in a minute

Phone convo over

I arrived to Brandon's dorm and knocked on the door impatiently "hey man" Brandon said as he opened the door, stepping aside to me in "yeah hey" I said feeling aggravated as I walked into the room "so what do want to talk about" I asked sitting at the table "I just wanted to know how you were doing since the breakup" he asked sitting across from me at the table "I'm fine" I said. I could tell he knew I was lying "come man, you don't have to lie" he replied back "ok you want the truth. I'm angry and I'm hurt, I gave her everything that I could possibly give her. And I know I wasn't perfect, I made mistakes, but I did try and I guess all of that wasn't good enough for her. I got f•••ing cheated on in! Brandon do you know how much that hurts." I replied back feeling a few tears run down my face "look, I know that I haven't been through what your going through, but I'm with you until the end of the line. I'll be there for you when you have no one else, never forget that man" Brandon replied back "thanks man" I said removing myself from the table and heading to the door "no problem" he said back and that was the last thing I heard before I left.
