i ran. away from home. toxic and painful. tears fell down my face, and i could only think of you, domenico. only you.
i knew you could help me. i knocked on your door, and you opened it widely for me. you saw me crying and immediately hugged me. if only i could've stayed in your arms forever.
you pushed me off and asked me, "what's wrong?" i didn't know how to answer. i looked down to your feet, and you lifted my chin, so that our eyes could meet.
"you can tell me anything, davina," he said as he closed the door behind us. he held my hand and took me to his room. not once did our hands untangle from each other.
we sat on his bed. "was it your mom? did she hurt you?" i shook my head. i just didn't want to say anything, or do anything. you hugged me once again, laying on your bed.
your touch was electric. nothing happened, just our skins touching. i knew you cared about me. the way you held me, made me feel like you wanted to protect me. how could i be so lucky.
