It's Not Living If It's Not With You || Yungblud || D.H

-Eight-

Once Olivia and I were in class, I pulled out my phone and quickly texted him back.

You didn't ruin my morning Dom, I'm glad you told me.

I put my phone away and looked over at Olivia. "Do you like him?" Olivia asked looking over at me.

"Who Dom? I don't know. I guess i could. Right now he's just kinda helping me with some things." Olivia nodded. Soon the teacher walked in and class started.

During lunch Olivia and I got some food and sat down in the cafeteria. "Oh hey, I like your hoodie. Is it new?"

"Oh, it's actually Doms." I blushed and tried to hide me face. "It was cold, he's just letting me borrow it."

"Whatever you say Ash." She laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"Olivia, I have literally only known Dom since Sunday. It's only been almost three days." I said as I gathered my lunch.

"It doesn't matter how long you know someone or not. It's whether you have a connection or not." Soon the bell rang and Olivia and I both went to our different classes.

I tried to keep my eyes open during fourth period, but it was a struggle. Finally the bell rang which meant I could go home.

I walked out the door and it was almost like time stopped. I saw a man walking straight for me, and in the distance behind him stood Dom, leaning against his motorcycle clutching his stomach, with a swollen eye. Immediately I panicked and I ran back into the school.

I ran everywhere trying to find a hiding place. Finally I ran into the library and thankfully the librarian was still in there.

"I've got to hide. Someone's after me." I said, panicking.

The librarian nodded and dropped what she was doing. She led me to a back room and said, "This leads outside, it comes out just around the front. Be safe." She said. I nodded and ran down the stairs as she shut the door.

Once I was outside, I heard people talking everywhere. Maybe I was going to be safe cause now there was people around. Looking around the corner, I saw Dom there, still waiting.

I ran over to him and hugged him. He let out a quiet moan and I quickly pulled away. "Dom are you okay?!"

He nodded and handed me a helmet. "I've had worse, it'll heal." He said and have me a sad smile. He jumped on the bike and we quickly drove home.

"Dom we can't stay here. We're both in danger here. He knows I'm with you." I said as we got off the bike.

"Fuck. Yea I know.." He said. "Why don't we go stay with Adam and Michael for a couple days?" I nodded and we walked inside. I grabbed my bag with clothes along with my backpack and went up to help Dom pack.

After he was done packing we went back downstairs. I followed him into the garage and saw there was another car. "Woah, you have a car and a motorcycle?" I asked.

He nodded and walked over to it, throwing his stuff in the back. "Yea, pain in the ass to drive the motorcycle everywhere so I bought a car." He then grabbed my stuff and threw it in the back.

He got in the car and pulled it out of the garage, and then he pushed his motorcycle into the garage. I got into the passenger door to the car and sat down.

"I'm really sorry for all of this." I said as we drove down the street.

Dom grabbed my hand and looked over at me, "Ash don't be sorry." I nodded and looked out the window. Dom was still holding my hand, and maybe Olivia was right. Maybe I did like him, cause I really didn't want him to let go.

Soon, we made it to Adam and Michaels house. Dom pulled into the drive way and looked over at me. Then he got out of the car and grabbed the stuff out of the back.

"You know I can carry my own stuff, right?"

He shrugged and said, "yeah I know. But I'm trying to be a gentleman." I just laughed as we walked up to the door. Adam was the one who answered.

"Holy shit Dom, what the hell happened to you?" Adam said, opening the door wider to let us in.

"Well that was a great way to greet your best mate." Dom laughed.

"And hello Ashley." He said looking over at me.

"Hi." I said with a small wave.

He lead us to the livingroom where Michael was. We said our hello's and Dom explained everything. My dad, what happened today, and why we were there.

They agreed to let us stay there for however long we needed. Then Adam showed us the guestroom. Dom put our stuff down by the door and walked into the bathroom.

"Jesus, I really do look like shit." He laughed.

Walking into the bathroom I grabbed a wash cloth and got it wet. I started to dab the blood off his face and asked, "how's your stomach?"

"Doesn't hurt as bad now." He said closing his eyes. I dabbed the cloth on his eyes, and then stopped, putting the wash cloth down.

"I'm really sorry again, Dom. This is all my fault. None of this would have happened if I would've just stayed home." He stopped me and out a finger up to my lips.

"Shhh, like I say every time, all that matters is that you're okay." I nodded and he stood up, walking over to the bed. "I can go sleep down on the couch, if you want me to."

I shook my head. "Dom it's fine. It's not like I'm five." Then I paused and looked over to him. "You don't snore do you?"

He let out a laugh and said, "Fuck no, do you?" I punched him in the arm. "Hey no punching the injured man!"

"Hey Dom, Ash, we're going out to dinner, do you guys want to come?" Michael said from downstairs. I looked over at Dom and shrugged.

"Yeah sure, we'll be down in a second." Dom said and looked over at me.

"Well let's go then." Dom said extending his hand to mine.
