Dominik POV
I couldn't deny that I felt very happy, knowing that Victoria had her friends back from school was a real relief. For several months she was very sad that they had been upset, and although I still consider it not her fault and that she was just another victim of those kids, I know that Victoria was fond of them.
So when I found out that they had apparently forgiven her and went back to talking at school, I couldn't deny that I felt calmer. Victoria is in a very difficult time in her life right now, she's about to enter college to start a very important stage, and that gives her a lot of stress and makes her really nervous. And I know that her friends at school are going to support her, they're going to give her a kind of support that I can't give her, so that's reassuring to me, that she's going to reach out to those kids again.
On Friday of her first week, after she went back to her school, I was getting ready to go get her, as we were going to cele
Victoria POVI couldn't even react.When Roy confessed to me that he loved me, I felt so confused that I couldn't even breathe. Roy was my best friend throughout my childhood, even more than that, he was the person who was always there for me unconditionally for a long time.But was he really there for me unconditionally? Now knowing that he liked me, I wondered if he really was for me all this time unconditionally, or if he was for me only if he liked me and had other kinds of "interests" for me. I know that shouldn't sound so bad... But... There's one little detail...Now Roy and Jenny are back in my life, they are once again getting closer to me and we are being a group of friends that get along great. But apparently, Jenny always knew about this, I mean she always knew that Roy liked me, but yet she told me absolutely nothing, betraying me. And now to know that Roy was the first one to try to patch things up with me and that he tried to kiss me just m
Victoria POVMy heart is still pounding so hard in my chest from all the fear I feel, as a part of me wants to reach out to Dominik and hug him, ask for His forgiveness for being an idiot. But the other part is terrified, as I fear his rejection. I love him too much to be able to stand him treating me that way.But as the two of us stand in silence in that same room, in the middle of the darkness and with obvious discomfort between the two of us, I decide it's time to stop doing stupid things.I have to talk to him."Dominik," I say with more force and firmness in my voice, even though inside I'm shaking like jelly.It seems my firmer voice finally gets the job done, and he turns in my direction, looking at me silently. This was but then I thought, as a small part inside me wanted to think that Dominik was going to forgive me and we were going to have a civilized conversation about what happened, but Dominik still remains in that same awkward silen
Victoria POVLoneliness.As I sat on Dominik's bed, staring off into nothingness, that's all I could feel.It had been almost a week since Dominik left. I remember many times that moment when he left the apartment to leave, claiming to myself in my mind that I should have gone after him, that even if he was mad at me, I shouldn't have let him leave without me. But it was too late to regret things I didn't do out of fear, and now I can only regret that he is gone.I have called him multiple times on his phone, hundreds or thousands even, as I want to explain to him, I want to talk and tell him everything that happened that day at my school. But he still won't let me do it, he still won't answer my calls or even bother to tell me if he is ok. Dominik is missing, and if it wasn't for me talking to his sister the other day, I would have already called the police to report him as a missing person."Aneliss?" I asked excitedly, answering my phone and rec
Victoria POVWith some regret, I had to watch silently as my mother and younger brother took my things from my room."Don't make that face... We are only taking what is necessary for you to stay quietly at home, you are not leaving this apartment" My mother said to me, noticing my obvious bad mood.I preferred not to answer, since taking 'the necessary', at this point was to take all my personal things and take them back home, leaving my room in Dominik's penthouse practically empty.And taking 'the necessities' of my things from the apartment to my home meant taking all my clothes, my cleaning supplies, and also my school books and electronic devices. Leaving in the apartment... Nothing. Maybe a few clothes that weren't really necessary and then... Absolutely nothing.Seeing the suitcases I used to come here and also many cardboard boxes full of my personal belongings, I realized how little I got to accumulate in this apartment, and that somehow..
Victoria POVHow did my pregnancy nonsense start?To be honest, it started since I was still together with Dominik, after finishing school almost two months ago now. And it all started because of the vomiting, the damn vomiting.Almost two weeks after my graduation party, the morning vomiting started. At first, they were somewhat irregular, as it would happen some mornings and not others, as if it was random. But then, it started happening every morning, and after that not only in the mornings, I started vomiting almost every meal I ate.That was not normal anymore.Then almost the second month after my graduation I started to relate it to a possible pregnancy because there was a new thing that was also strange in me... My period was absent.Yes, I know, I should have gone to the doctor then. But I tried to deny the truth, telling Dominik that I was sick because of how scared I felt about the upcoming exams I was going to have to get into co
Victoria POVStanding in the bathroom in silence, I looked in front of me at the myriad of glasses with pregnancy tests, all of which were positive.There was no longer any room for doubt, I am pregnant.A couple of hours later after the first pregnancy test came back positive, Jenny came back to my house with many other pregnancy tests, of different types and of all brands, something that was extremely surprising to me, as I have no idea where the hell she got so many pregnancy tests from.But still, Jenny did it, as she read on the pregnancy test that there was a certain margin of error where there could be a false positive and that it was advisable to test more than once to be sure. I guess that gave her some hope that she is not pregnant, and she wanted to check.But test after test, as we both looked at each other in disbelief, all came back positive.I guess this worried Jenny not only because we were friends, as I know she is so worri
Dominik POVRemaining silent, I drank the last sip of my wine glass, sighing calmly and feeling somewhat drowsy. It had been a complicated and rather heavy week, and the next day things didn't seem to get any better, as I would have to return home after almost 5 months of absence, in which I had been traveling all over Europe and part of Asia to settle long-pending business matters.So with all my company's problems completely resolved, I could return. But I had no idea why, I was in no mood at all to return home, wanting to stay in that beautiful hotel in Paris, where I had such good liquor and a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower. An ethereal scene.My relaxation is interrupted when my phone rings next to me on the couch. With some regret, fearing it is something about work, I pick it up and decide to answer, "Hello?"This was my personal phone, the new one I had bought at the start of my trip, so it allowed me to be a little more casual in using it, as
Victoria POVI open my eyes as my mother stops the car, something that makes me realize we're already home."Are we there yet?" I ask in a whisper, sitting up better in the passenger seat and unable to help myself from yawning tiredly."Yes, we're here" My mother answers me with a smile, taking her key out of the car and opening the door.Yawning again, I put on the gloves I brought with me and fix my jacket, then mimicking her, take off my seatbelt and get out of the car behind mom. Today was a pretty cold day, but this was no surprise to anyone, as the weather is usually this bad in December. You know, most would say it's the perfect weather for the holidays, but I've always preferred warmth, so this weather doesn't suit me at all.And the cold and snow become something much but when being pregnant.Rounding the car carefully, as it has started snowing for a couple of days now and I'm afraid of falling, I get to the back, where my mother h
