Violet's POV:
I jump and fall out of my bed as my bedroom door slams open with so much force it knocks down a few of the pictures I had on the wall. I stand up and assess what the hell just came barging into my room like a bat out of hell and see Ash cringing at herself.
"Oops I totally forget how strong I am sometimes." she chuckles to herself and I roll my eyes knowing damn well Ash has never worked out a day in her life. However, with that being said she still has that naturally skinny, yet curvaceous figure anyone would die for.
I climb back on my bed and Ash decides to plop down next to me and gives me the look. I groan and roll over face-first into the bed to hide myself from her disappointed look.
"Please just let me wallow in self-pity for a few more days before you try to give me a lecture." I don't know if she heard me due to the fact that my bed is muffling any sound trying to leave me.
I hear Ash get up and I think I've won her over until I feel a pillow being slammed over my head repeatedly. "Absolutely not! I didn't wait three years for you to come back and live out my dream of you and Dom growing old together. No matter how much you seem to have screwed that up the other day." I turn and narrow my eyes at her, wanting to wipe that stupid smirk off her face I take a pillow and smack the side of her head. Being the overdramtic person she is she falls over and lets out a loud huff.
It has been two days since I all but ran away and made a fool out of myslef in front of Dom. I know it was stupid to run, and I know he deserves answers and for us to talk about everything, but I'm scared. I have no idea why. Wait, that's a lie. I know exactly why I'm scared to confront the past with him, and it's because I'm still madly in love with him. I never got over him, how could I? He's one of the best guys I've ever met in my life. I'm just scared that this walk down memory lane will be it for us. I don't want to think that he just needs closure from this and he'll finally move on. As selfish as it is, I wan't him to only ever love me. I know in order for that to happen I need to swallow my pride and just talk to him. Lay it all on the table, but it's easier said than done.
"I'm never stepping foot outside of this house ever again. If i never leave, I can never make myself look like an asshole infront of everyone again and I;m definitely never going to see..." I spit out but Ash puts her hand up to stop me from talking further.
"Well it's too late because I told Dom you'd meet him at the beach in an hour." She gets up starts heading toward the closet and starts going through my clothes, probably trying to find me the perfect "get back together outfit". I shoot up and look at her like shes grown four heads.
"Are you fucking out of your mind?! Why on earth would you do that!?" the vein in my neck popping out from yelling at her so loud.
She turns and sticks out her tongue at me. "Oh give me a break. You and me, hell the whole city all knows that Dom deserves this Vi." That deflates my anger at once because like always, Ash is right.
She throws a cute white floral summer dress, and a pair of brown sandals on my bed. "Get up, get dressed and go get your man back." I lower my head and start playing with the frills on my bed. Ash must see this because she comes over, sits next to me and puts her arm around my shoulder giving me her support as I try and find the right words to say.
"He deserves so much better than me Ash. I don't want to break his heart again." I blink my eyes rapidly to try and get rid of the tears that are wanting to come down.
Ash turns to face me, puts her hands over my cheeks and forces my head up to look her in the eye for whatever she's about to say. "Honey, I have never seen a love as strong as you and Dom's. I know it's scary and I know it hurts right now, but you two deserve each other and you both deserve happiness. Whether you want to be with him or not is up to you and i'll support you no matter what but Vi he needs this. He's been waiting for this for years, don't make him wait any longer." I grab her wrist in my hands and give her a small smile for telling me what I have been needing to hear. She wipes under my eyes that I didn't know were still leaking and gives me her bright and contagious smile. I pull her into a bone curshing hug and swing her back and forth as we both giggle.
"Okay let's do this." I stand up with a new found confidence that I didn't have moments ago and walk towards where she laid the clothes out on the bed.
Ash smacks my butt and yells "Go get em tiger!" to my retreating form.
I decide to curl my hair to give it a nice beach wave look. I slip on the flowy dress and put some mascara and lip gloss on. I didn't want to over do it since I'll probably be emotional during this talk with him. I do a quick twirl in the mirror and deem myself Dom ready.
Let's go try to win him back.
