Sorry for the late update, I had a very rough day so far. I hope you guys can forgive me for yesterday's cliffhanger.

Here we go!

"Look at me." He demanded harshly.

"I can't." I cried sadly.

"Just look at me Joan." He said in a dangerously low tone. I couldn't take it anymore.

I stormed out the door and went outside. I avoided everyone else and just,

Breathed.

I started walking home slowly, Charles was driving behind me since I told him that I preferred to walk.

My body started feeling weak when I walked through a neighborhood close to home. I sat down on the side walk and started mind racing.

What's the matter with me? I keep pushing everyone away from me. I can't make a single person stay. Maybe I should just stop trying, it's all in vein anyway.

I laid on my bed when I heard my bedroom door creaking open. I felt the bed dipping behind me.

"Are you okay?" Dom asked softly and I just laid there,

Quietly.

"No." I replied in a small voice.

Dom laid behind me and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes as I felt calm in his presence.

"I'm sorry, bunny." He said and I nodded my head.

"Me too." I told him while rubbing his forearm.

"You're my best friend and I hurt you. Not intentionally, but I did. Just please forgive me." He said softly.

"I forgive you." I said in a breath.

"Now I want you to forget everything that's bothering you. Hurting you or weighing you down. I'm here and I always will be. So close your eyes and go to sleep." Dom said in a calm tone.

"Goodnight." I replied tiredly

"Goodnight booch." He said softly and so I did as he had told me to and instantly fell asleep in his arms.

The next morning I stretched before rubbing my eyes. I sat upright in bed and watched Dom sleeping beside me. He seems so peaceful.

"Boo!" He said and I placed a hand on my chest. "I got you bitch." He said with a smile on his face.

"Go back to sleep you're much more peaceful. Oh and I'm gonna get you back for that." I said in a promising tone.

"Can't wait." He said in fake excitement. "Lord I need some caffeine in my life!" He said loudly.

"Yeah me too!" I yelled back and Dom laughed at me.

"Why are we yelling?" He asked and I laughed.

"I don't know!" I replied loudly.

I lazily got out of bed and emptied my full bladder. When I was done doing my business I went downstairs and found Dom staring at his phone.

When I reached him he still didn't look up so I frowned at him.

"Joan please tell me this isn't you." He said slowly while showing his cellphone screen to me.

Louis was grabbing me by my waist in the picture. It's from last night because we were both wearing our costumes.

"Yes but, how do you know it's me? I'm wearing a mask. Are you psychic maybe?" I asked in confusion.

"Because any idiot with a brain and two eyes can figure out that that's you." He said pointedly and I face palmed myself. "Check your phone." Dom encouraged but I was sceptical.

"No it's okay." I said briefly.

Dom grabbed my phone from of the counter and typed in my password before going to my messenger app. He gasped loudly and my eyebrows shot up in shock.

"What?" I asked curiously.

"You have so many death threats." Dom said with wide eyes. "Listen to Macy." He said while laughing.

"If that's you in that picture I will literally kill you, Joan Gibbs."

"What a bitch." I said while pulling my face.

"Joan look at this there's foreign languages here, I bet they're all saying that they'll kill you too." Dom said while chuckling.

"What a man whore. His penis is international and shit." Dom said with a scrunched up face.

"This is so bad." I said while holding a hand to my forehead. I looked at my cellphone screen and started scrolling through my messages.

A lot of messages and it was all about Louis Valentino.

"We basically called it quits last night so these people can relax." I replied blankly.

"Wait what?" Dom asked in confusion.

"Yeah he found out that I was his mystery girl right after he confessed his feelings to her... well to me. But yesterday when I told him I wanted more, he told me that he had feelings for someone else he just didn't know that it was... me." I explained and Dom's mouth fell open.

"No offense but I'd be mad too." Dom said before shrugging. "You did lie to him. I mean if you were honest from the beginning then none of this would've happened." Dom explained.

"I guess you're right. I'm just so pissed at myself. I don't know how to fix this." I said honestly.

"Sex." Dom said in a sure tone.

"Are you serious right now?" I asked and he nodded. "Sex isn't gonna fix this." I told him slowly.

"Yes it will. Everybody knows that sex fixes any problems you may have in your relationship."

"Well I don't think so. I'm just gonna apologize to him a bunch of times until he forgives me." I confidently told Dom who was suppressing his laughter.

"Okay. You do you, honey." He said before sipping at his coffee.

"Let's go to Michael's." Dom said and I frowned.

"On a Sunday morning?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yes I'm suddenly in the mood for Molly and some good weed." Dom said slowly and I shook my head at him. "Please."

"Fine, I'll go with you." I said tiredly. "But I'm going in sweats." I bargained and he nodded.

"Let's go get ready." Dom said and we both went upstairs to get ready.

After showering I pulled on my black sports leggings and matching bra. I slipped into my black runners before pulling on a grey zip up hoodie and left the zipper open.

I found Dom in the hallway and linked my arm with his. He was wearing his black sweatpants and hoodie paired with white runners.

"Why does it look like we're going for a run but we're actually just gonna go buy some drugs?" Dom asked and I laughed.

"To be low-key about it." I explained to him. "We might as well walk. When last did we walk together?" I asked him and he nodded.

"True, but stop sounding so cynical." He said before placing a kiss on my cheek and wrapping his arm around my neck.

When we got outside I noticed the black SUV's still lined up in my driveway.

I lifted my hand in a greeting manner at the men in black. Why would he still protect me after what I did?

Dom pulled me to him and I snapped out of my thoughts. We walked on the sidewalk and greeted everyone we passed.

We walked past a homeless person, whom I gave my hoodie and twenty bucks to. I know how it feels to have nowhere to go or to sleep.

"Thank you miss." He said painfully so I smiled at him.

"You're very welcome sir." I told him before continuing my walk.

"God bless America." I heard Dom say from beside me so I looked at him as he was an alien.

"Let's just go. I kinda missed Michael. He's like the father of happiness." I told Dom and he nodded.

"Literally." He said in agreement.

We walked into Michael's and his face lit up with happiness.

"Yo, Joan." He said before hugging me. "What's up Dom?" He asked before hugging Dom.

"Oh nothing much we just came to get some supplies." Dom said confidently. Michael's men were standing around with guns which freaked me the hell out.

They kept sharing looks with each other which confirmed my suspicions that something was going on before we arrived.

I looked through an open door and noticed a guy sitting in a chair with a gag in his mouth. Why would they tie him up like that? Why would Michael ever hurt somebody?

Just as I was about to comment on it one of his men closed the door and looked at me with one eyebrow lifted.

"What did you see Joan?" Michael asked so suddenly that I jumped a little in fear.

Another Cliffhanger!
