Dom's POV
I took the phone and slowly started to speak.
"Letty, don't hang up okay. Let's just talk about this please."
"Okay."
"Can we talk face to face and sort this out?"
"No I can't see you right now." I sighed.
"Okay. Letty I'm really sorry about what I said, I had no right to say what I said to you. I didn't even mean what I said and deep down you know I didn't mean it." I explained.
"Yeah I know but it doesn't make it hurt any less. It doesn't make things better."
"I know. But I want to make things up to you. I admit I over reacted about you and Nathan, I was just so shocked because…." I sighed.
"Because what?" I sighed and rubbed my head. Fuck I was going to have to tell her the truth.
"I'm in love with you Letty, and I think you feel something for me too. I don't want you with any other guy but me and I realise I should have told you earlier."
"excuse me?"
"I said-"
"I heard what you said." I bit my lip for a moment and wondering if I had said the wrong thing. I waited until she spoke again I didn't want to risk putting my foot in it anymore then I had already.
"Are you fucking serious Dom? You think you can just say that and everything's going to be okay. You're so wrong." She shouted angrily down the phone. I winced and moved the phone away from my ear a bit.
"I never said it was going to make things better. I know it's not, but I needed to tell you why I reacted the way I did." I said trying to keep my temper. There was a long pause and I trudged upstairs to my room before shutting the door.
"Dom I need space okay? And if I stayed there with you guys I wouldn't get it. I need to do this and you're just going to have to accept it."
"Let please. I'll give you all the space you want, just come home."
"I can't. I'll still work at the shop but I won't be working at the garage for you. So
can you please have Mia pack my stuff up."
"Letty please what can I do to make it up to you?"
"You hurt me Dom and I can't forgive you easily for that. I'm sorry this is just the way it has to be, it's just until we both calm down."
I was silent for a while and I could tell she was waiting for me to speak.
"Do you love him?"
"Dom it has nothing to do with how I feel about him." She said angrily.
"Well it matters to me. So do you?" I asked.
"Would I have kissed you back if I did?" I grinned and had to stop myself from laughing.
"This doesn't change anything Dom. I'm still with Nathan and I can't be around you right now. No matter what my feelings for you are. So can you please pack my stuff up or I'll get Tyler and Nathan to come round and do it." I growled angrily.
"No fucking way." I yelled angrily.
"Damn it Dom." I could hear her voice shake with anger but I didn't care.
"No we're going to talk about this."
"I know Dom, but I just can't right now so until then I need you to leave me alone Dom. We both have a lot to work through and I think the space will do us both good."
"You think or Nathan wants?" I bit out.
"Dom stop it. I can't do this with you. He's my boyfriend and you just need to get over it, whatever happened between us… it wasn't a mistake but it shouldn't have happened but it did and now I think we both need some distance from one another. "
"I'm not going to pack your stuff and if Nathan and Tyler come over I won't be letting them in. if you want your stuff you'll have to come over yourself to get it." I said before hanging up on her.
I sat on my bed staring at the wall for quite a while before my anger got the better of me and I threw the phone at the wall. I didn't bother to see if it was okay before walking down the stairs and out the back door.
Everyone looked up at me when I walked out I saw all the hope in their eyes and I just shook my head before continuing into the garage and started to work on the charger. It didn't take long before I had to stop and swipe my tears away angrily as I realised how much I had screwed up.
Letty's POV
I looked down stunned at the phone as I heard the words tumble out of his mouth. Casting a look behind me I shut the bedroom door so Tyler and Nathan couldn't hear my conversation.
"Excuse me?" I whispered.
"I said-"
"I heard what you said." I bit out. I was silent and so was he. I thought about what I was going to say. It could go two ways; tell him truth about how I feel about him and in doing so would let him off the hook or be a bitch about everything and stand my ground all the while pretending this doesn't affect me. I vote option two.
"Are you fucking serious Dom? You think you can just say that and everything's going to be okay. You're so wrong." I shouted angrily.
"I never said it was going to make things better. I know it's not, but I needed to tell you why I reacted the way I did." He said tense; I huffed as I heard a door on his end shut.
"Dom I need space okay? And if I stayed there with you guys I wouldn't get it. I need to do this and you're just going to have to accept it."
"Let please. I'll give you all the space you want, just come home." He pleaded.
"I can't. I'll still work at the shop but I won't be working at the garage for you. So can you please have Mia pack my stuff up."
"Letty please what can I do to make it up to you?"
"You hurt me Dom and I can't forgive you easily for that. I'm sorry this is just the way it has to be, it's just until we both calm down."
I was silent as I waited for him to say something.
"Do you love him?" That is not what I wanted him to say.
"Dom it has nothing to do with how I feel about him." I said angrily.
"Well it matters to me. So do you?" I sighed before answering.
"Would I have kissed you back if I did?" I could just feel his cocky grin on the other end and I seriously just wanted to smack it off his face.
"This doesn't change anything Dom. I'm still with Nathan and I can't be around you right now. No matter what my feelings for you are. So can you please pack my stuff up or I'll get Tyler and Nathan to come round and do it." I heard his angry growl and rolled my eyes.
'It doesn't work on me man' I thought.
"No fucking way." He yelled angrily.
"Damn it Dom." I said tiredly.
"No we're going to talk about this."
"I know Dom, but I just can't right now so until then I need you to leave me alone Dom. We both have a lot to work through and I think the space will do us both good."
"You think or Nathan wants?" He asked tensely. He had a point.
"Dom stop it. I can't do this with you. He's my boyfriend and you just need to get over it, whatever happened between us… it wasn't a mistake but it shouldn't have happened but it did and now I think we both need some distance from one another." I hated myself for saying it but I knew it was the right thing to do. He had hurt me and for that I was angry and upset but I knew that if I wanted my relationship with Nathan to work we had to separate ourselves a bit from each other.
"I'm not going to pack your stuff and if Nathan and Tyler come over I won't be letting them in. If you want your stuff you'll have to come over yourself to get it." He said angrily before hanging up on me. I stood there shocked at his actions.
I hung up the phone and sat it down on the dresser before moving around bed and looking out the window. I bit my lip wondering if I had done the right thing or if I had made a huge mistake. I let the tears fall for a couple of minutes before wiping them angrily away. I got myself together again just as there was a knock on the door and Nathan stuck his head in.
"Hey baby, you ready?" Nathan asked as he walked into the room. I smiled slightly and nodded.
"Yeah let's go." I said as I walked out of the house with him and got into his car. Sitting in the passenger's seat of the car holding Nathan's hand while we drove to school felt right. I knew that if I wanted this I needed to let go of Dom a bit.
'Please don't let this backfire.' I thought to myself as I looked over at Nathan before turning and looking out the window.
