Behind The Scenes // Domilly

My heart was racing, my body was sweating and my vision was blurry. 'Dom? Dom!' I screamed. It was like I was running out of oxygen. My living room seemed to keep getting darker and the noise I was hearing kept getting louder. I pressed my hands on my ears. 'No! No! Dom! Dom where are you?' I screamed. My voice cracked and I broke down in tears.

Choking on my breath, I felt my heartbeat vibrate through my entire body. What was going on? Where was Dom? 'I bet she fucked him in the hospital.' A loud voice echoed through the room. 'No! No, I didn't! No!' I cried.

'Lilly! Lilly, are you okay?' Dom's voice took me back to reality. I opened my eyes and saw my own bedroom. Tears were rolling down my cheeks, I was shaking and I couldn't breathe properly. 'Lilly, you're okay, I'm here...' Dom sounded worried as he wrapped his arms around me. 'Don't cry, it was just a dream.' I closed my eyes and rested my head on Dom's shoulder.

My body cold and sweaty, which was a weird and uncomfortable combination. I didn't question it though. Dom grabbed my hands and put them above my head. 'Breathe baby, breathe...' He let go of my hands and wiped the tears off my face. My arms felt extremely heavy and it costed me a lot of effort to keep them above my head.

It took me a while to calm down, but I slowly started breathing normally again. I put my arms down and looked down at my shaking hands. 'Baby, what happened?' Dom said quietly. He took my hands in his. 'You're safe now, okay?' Dom kissed my forehead and then tilted my head up so that I was looking into his eyes. 'Now, please tell me what happened.'

I explained to Dom what was happening in my dream. The darkness, the loud noise, the lonelyness and emptiness, the lack of oxygen, and the voice that yelled out hate comments. All I could do afterwards was sob silently. What was that dream? Why was it so dark? Why did I feel so empty?

Dom held me tightly. 'Lilly, listen to me. You're okay. It was a dream. You're safe now. This was your depression acting up. You're going to be okay, I'm here.' Dom whispered things like this for a while, until I stopped crying. I wrapped my arms around Dom and closed my eyes. 'I was so scared Dom...' I said, almost inaudible. 'I know Lilly, I know.' We leaned against the headboard and talked to each other for a while. Well, I mostly listened. Dom's voice was very calming. I relaxed a little bit and pulled the covers over my torso. Even though I was exhausted, there was no way I was going back to sleep.

Apparently I had fallen asleep anyway. When I woke up, I was in Dom's arms. We were still sitting on my bed, leaning against my headboard. Dom's lips were slightly parted and his hair was messy. I smiled and cuddled up in my arms. He felt so safe. And feeling safe was so necessary right now because everything happening in my head, was so damn scary.

I was still confused why I felt so bad all of a sudden. There was no reason for me to. The past days had been so amazing.

But I was going to pick myself up again. This wasn't going to get my down, not again.

'Good morning Lil, how are you feeling?' Dom said as he ran his fingers through my hair. 'Better,' I mumbled. 'Hey, let's take a day off today. You shouldn't be working right now. Let's get some food and go for a walk or something.' Dom rubbed my arm. 'I love you,' I whispered. 'I love you more.'

We got ready and Dom took me out for breakfast. It was very relaxing and nice. And most importantly, the food was amazing. After breakfast, we took an Uber to the beach and went for walk.

My shoes were in my hand as Dom and I walked on the hot sand. Dom's hand slipt in mine. 'Is it helping a little bit?' he asked. 'Yes, thank you. If you hadn't suggested this, I would be stressing myself out by doing work and telling myself I was being weak.' 'Mental health days aren't weak, they're necessary. And you work hard every day. Days off are well deserved.' I smiled and squeezed Dom's hand.

We walked for a while when I saw something in the distance. 'Dom is that-' 'Yes it is.' My eyes widened. As we got closer, I realized it really was what I thought it was.

The rock from my birthday.

You can say it's stupid for me to get so happy over this, but that was one of the sweetest things someone had ever done for me and definitely one of my favorite memories with Dom. Just one of those memories that I needed to remember on a day like this.

We got to the rock and Dom sat down. 'My friend and I were walking here a couple of weeks ago and I just knew I had to bring you here. It's so beautiful. Just like you.'
