Thin lines between love and hate

Chapter 37

Ray's POV:
I can't believe that just happened, I couldn't believe she would say that to me, yet again I was wrong to0. Deep down inside I didn't mean anything that I said, I was just angry. I know that me and Dominique aren't really on speaking terms right now but I feel like I need to apologize for what I said. I wasn't a fan of being disrespectful towards anyone and I certainly wasn't raised to act like towards anybody either. I was going to do what I never thought I would do. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number.

Phone convo

Dominique: hello
Me: hey, um listen, by any chance could we meet up and talk?
Dominique: I really don't know if should
Me: please, just for a few minutes. There's something I need to get off my chest
Dominique: sure. Meet me at my dorm
Me: ok

Phone convo over

After calling Dominique, I took a quick shower and got dressed; grabbing my room key and heading to her dorm.

Dominique's POV:
I was so completely nervous to talk to Ray right now, I couldn't just said but I didn't want to be rude so I decided to meet him. "I hope I made the decision" I mumbled to myself, I really hope this goes by smoothly, then I was interrupted by a knock on the door. "Here goes nothing" I mumbled again heading to the door and opening it. "Hey" I said quietly "hey, thanks for for wanting to talk. I know that it's hard to want to talk to me right now considering we aren't on speaking terms" he said as I stood off to the side to let him in "so what do you want to talk about then" I asked nervously "I wanted to apologize for what I said yesterday, I honesty didn't mean anything that I said, especially the fact that I hate being disrespectful. Can you forgive me please" he said, I was shocked he even said this. I'm the one who causes the damage in the first place "of course I forgive you Ray, but it's not your fault, it's mine, I'm the one who's sorry, I'm the one who started this mess in first place, we wouldn't be going through this right if it wasn't for me."  I said in the verge of tears "listen Ray, I can barely go a without you. I still want be with but I've already ruined my chances. Don't let me stop you from having a great life ok. You deserve so much better this. What I offered, what I gave you, I'm sorry that I couldn't be the girlfriend you wanted" I said walking to the door and opening it, signaling him to leave. He took a few steps and headed to the door, but only to kiss me instead, no matter how much I wanted to stay this way I couldn't so I pushed him off "I can't, I've hurt you once, I'm not willing to do it again" I said and with that he left.

Ray's POV:
After having that conversation with Dominique I needed to get my thoughts together so I went for a walk. Everything happened so fast, I didn't expect to kiss her and to be honest I still want to be with her too. And I know that she may made mistakes but we all make mistakes and now I truly understand what my mother was saying. I decided to head to the park when my phone when off. I removed my phone from my pocket and looked at the caller ID, it was Brandon.

Brandon: we need you down here. The campus is on fire.
