10pm

I laid in bed, icing my eye as all of today's events replayed over and over in my mind. I was sad, mad, heartbroken and I just couldn't get my mind off of Dominic. He didn't deserve any of what I'd done to him but seeing him with another girl broke my heart to the max. I guess that was just a small piece of what he'd been feeling when I admitted to him that I was cheating.

Breaking me out of my thoughts, my phone rang loudly. I turned over to it as it charged on the charger and Dominic's contact flashed across the screen.

At first I'd decided I didn't want to answer because I didn't want to cause him or myself anymore hurt ache. But I knew that this would be the closure we both needed after today so I answered anyway.

"Hello." His raspy voice came through the phone and I struggled to hold my tears in.

"Hi." I spoke quietly, waiting for him to say what he wanted to say.

"How is your eye, T?" He went onto ask and I shrugged as if he could see me.

"It's fine."

"I'm putting ice on it right now." I told him and the line went quiet for a few moments.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened today."

"I should've never let that shit go that far. You and my sister should've never got into it like that."

"Whether I like it or not, y'all are, wellwere, the two leading ladies in my life and that shit wun' cool."

"Don't worry. I understand." I admitted.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have slapped you and I just listened when you asked me to leave."

"But in my defense, I was just upset about what I saw, so I blacked out." I explained, referring to him and the girl he was in the house with.

"Na' I know watchu mean."

"It's jus-" I started but stopped.

"Seeing you with her really hurt me, Dominic."

"Yeah, I know." He admitted as I looked down.

"Can you ju-"

"Can you tell me if you and her did anything? I just really need to know."

"For closure purposes." I added.

"Aight, if I tell you then you gotta tell me.." He trailed off and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"About if I did anything sexual with Connor?" I asked him, making sure that was what he was talking about.

"Yeah."

"Okay." I took a deep breath.

"Well you go first." I told him, mentally preparing myself.

"Aight, look.."
