It's not hello again
Summary: Now you're back. You don't get to get me back. Sequel to 'It's not see you later'
A/N: Not as good as the first one, but I thought I might as well post it. I think it's best to read that one first before this one. I finished this before I finished Just Sex, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to post it.
I don't own Inception or Christina Perri's music,
No, I can't take one more step towards you
'Cause all that's waiting is regret
"Why are you here?" I haven't see Dom since his second wedding. He takes a step forward towards me.
"To see you." He's looking directly into my eyes. I step back.
Don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
"Why?" I'm shaking.
"Because I love you." He's looking at me like I'm Mal.
But I'm not, and he's not Arthur.
I learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
"You left me."
"I know."
"You got married."
"I'm sorry."
"Why are you here?"
"Because I picked the wrong woman."
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
"You can't just come back like this." He shrugs.
"I made the wrong choice." He says it like he picked the wrong shirt to wear to work.
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
"Go home." Arthur's going to be home soon. I don't want him to see Dom.
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
He squints. He walks over to me and strokes my cheek. I stare into his deep blue eyes. I used to think of the ocean in the nice hot summer, but now all I see is ice cold winters.
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
"I'll be back." Like that he's gone. I collapse onto my knees. Arthur finds me shaking.
I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
"Has Dom come to see you?" Arthur asks. I don't answer.
"Miles called and told me he's here in Paris." I can't look him in the eyes.
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms
"Let's be in love again."
"I love Arthur."
"But you love me."
"I.. I..." Now I'm falling. Then I wake up with Arthur breathing down my back.
I've learned to live, half alive
And now you want me one more time
"I love you." I tell Arthur. I can see the heartbreak in his eyes. He knows I care, but I'm not in love.
It took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
"I know you care."
"I do love you."
"I know... but you still love him more." He uses present tense.
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
'Cause you broke all your promises
He's back again.
"Remembered when you saved me?" I don't want to.
"Remembered when I kissed you after the job?" Stop it.
"You came to my house that night." Let me alone.
"It was the best night of my life." Lies.
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
"You saved me." I look away.
"I know." I still don't look.
"Thank you again." I avoid him.
"Let me stay with you." I can't say no, so I say nothing.
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
"Dom?" Arthur's back.
"Hello Arthur." He's angry.
"What are you doing here?" Dom smirks.
"Fixing a mistake." Bastard.
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
Dom hits the ground so fast I didn't even realize Arthur hit him in the first place. Arthur's shaking. His fist is clenching and turning his knuckles white. He's panting. I've seen that look before.
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
"Why are you ruining our happiness?" Yeah, why?
"Because Mal didn't love you and neither does Ari. They both picked me." I turn to Arthur. Did he love Mal before too?
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
"Get out of our house."
"Not until Ariadne decides who she loves the most." They both turn to me.
I look directly at Arthur.
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' 'round leaving scars
"Go home Dom." I don't see his reaction, but by the softening of Arthur's face, I don't need to.
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
"She made her decision. Leave us be." Arthur wraps his arms arm me, and I bury my face into his chest.
"Mal picked you at first too. Remember that Arthur."
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
I release myself from Arthur and look Dom in the eyes. I feel the cold pierce my soul.
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
"I pick Arthur. I may have loved you before, but I love him now." The words escape my mouth, and even I'm shock to hear them.
Who do you think you are?
"Did you really love Mal too?" Arthur avoids my question.
Who do you think you are?
"It doesn't matter because she never loved him like she loved me. You don't love him either." I face Dom.
Who do you think you are?
"Who do you think you are?" He smiles.
"The man you love." He's not wrong, but he's not right either.
"I love Arthur." I repeat. I turn away taking Arthur by the hand.
Dom made his choice a long time ago. It's time he deals with it.
