Dominick

Friends

Dominick

I rip out the heart of a man and break another's leg so his bone sticks out of his skin.

"AHH" he screams right before I rip off his head.

"DADDY!" a little girl runs to her father's dead body.

I smirk. "He's dead"

She looks at me. "Sir, please help!!"

"I sure can" I pick her up and she smiles.

"H-"

I cut her off by snapping her neck.

"DOMINICK!" dad shouts and I turn to him. "ARE YOU INSANE?!"

"Shouldn't have been here" I drop the girl.

"YOU'RE FUCKING SICK!" he says, shooting a man.

"SORRY I'M NOT A SOFTIE LIKE YOU! WHO CARES FOR EVERY LITTLE KID!" I rip out the throat of a woman.

"YOU USE TO BE! UNTIL YOUR MOTHER DIED AND-"

"DO NOT BRING MAMA INTO THIS! SHE LEFT US!-"

"SHE DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE, DOMINICK! DO NOT BLAME THAT ON HER! YOU KNOW HOW SHE DIED AND WE COULDN'T PREVENT IT!" he shoots a man behind me.

"SHE'S THE REASON WE ARE WHO WE ARE TODAY! I LOVE MAMA, SO FUCKING MUCH, AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH IT HURTS ME EVERYDAY!" I slide a mans throat and throw another over my shoulder.

"I DO KNOW, DOMINICK! YOU DON'T! YOU BARELY REMEMBER HER! SHE'S ONLY BEEN IN YOUR LIFE FOR SIX YEARS! SHE'S BEEN IN MY LIFE SINCE I WAS A TODDLER! YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT!" he shouts back and I slightly drop my jaw. "Fuck... I didn't mean i-"

"FUCK YOU. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, FUCK YOU!" I shoot his shoulder and run off.

"DOMINICK!" he shouts.

I shake my head and gut a man before hopping in my car and speeding home, calling one of my side chicks.

I need a release.

"It smells like sex in here" Lyla sits on my bed.

I roll my eyes. "I changed my comforter"

"So you did" she laughs and I change my shirt. "What's on today's agenda?"

I look at her. "We're going out"

"And where?" she raises an eyebrow.

"Dinner. Then I'll take you back to your place" I smirk, kissing her cheek.

"Such a charmer" she says.

"Come on" I help her up and she follows me out.

We bump into dad. "Dominick-"

"Leave it, dad" I snap.

"I d-"

"I fucking said leave it!" I shout, dragging Lyla out.

"What's with you and your dad?" she asks.

I open the passenger door. "Shit"

"Well-" she gets in and I get in the drivers, "like what?

I shrug and speed off. "We fight a lot"

"I know you use to be a good kid" she looks ahead.

"Use to" I take a sharp turn.

"What happened?" she asks.

"Why does it matter, doll?" I look at her then back at the road.

She sits back. "Well, I wanna know what turned you into a monster" she smirks.

"My mother" I say, laughing.

She somewhat frowns. "Were you close to her?"

A little smile grows on my face thinking about her. "Yeah, she was my best friend. She's only been in my life for a few years, but I love her and still remember our bond. She taught me al these things... things that I'm not... now, I guess?"

"Momma's boy?" she smiles.

"Yeah... the biggest. I remember the day she passed out and we had to take her to the hospital. I didn't know shit. I was six. But the day my dad told me what happened to her, why my mama didn't come home, it hit me. That death is a real thing and I experienced it at a young age. My best friend was dead. When we had so much planned! We were suppose to go to the Bahamas together, she had two more kids to have, she had to watch me grow up. But it ended way too soon"  I clench my jaw and I feel a little hand hold my huge one.

"I'm sorry... I can't imagine how you must feel" she frowns.

"I'm sure you do. Your parents traded you" I say.

"But I was never close with them. Ever. Especially not how you were with your mom" she sighs and I rub circles on the back of her hand with my thumb. "Are you close with your dad?"

I sigh and shake my head. "We use to be. But after my mom died, it hasn't been the same. Well, I haven't been the same. He doesn't trust me. Who would? Your own son turns against you and your family"

"Why don't you go back to them?" she asks, looking at me.

"I like my lifestyle now" I reply.

"You built a wall around your heart, Dominick. So nobody can hurt it again. I hate to say it, but you need to move on... and I don't mean forget about it and act like it never happened, I mean... your mom would want you to be happy and not dwell over her. I'm sure she'd be upset over how you're acting, and you and your dad not being close anymore. She would want you to get better and be the boy she taught to be" she looks at the road.

"Hm. Almost made me think about it" I turn to her and wink.

"I'm done being nice" she rolls her eyes.

"And I'm done sharing sad shit" I ruffle her hair.

She scoffs and we pull into the restaurant.

"Mmmm I love steak 'n shake!" she gets out of the car.

I follow behind her. "I know"

"How-"

"I did my research" I wink and her eyes widen.

"Look at the hottie!" boys our age and middle aged men whistle.

I laugh and Lyla smirks. "I get all the men"

"She's not even that hot" another dude as Lyla sits down, causing her to gasp.

I burst out laughing and cross my arms. "How does that feel?"

"Shut up, Archer" she huffs and I sit in front of her.

"If it makes you feel better, that nerd is checking you out" I smirk.

"Mmm what a daddy" she pretends to drool.

"Just your type!" I smile.

"There's yours!" she points behind me and I look to see a girl with black hair and clothes.

I turn back to her. "I think I fucked her once"

"GET OUT OF HERE!" she laughs and hits my shoulder.

I laugh along.

She's so fucking dope!
