Okay so I know a few of these are already floating around out there but its something I have been waiting a long time to do. I put it off for months because I wanted to start a new year with a a wave of new stories. Obviously Dominican Darkness is going to be one of my biggest this year but as I'm taking a break for a bit from that series I wanted to take the time and just get creative with my writing again. I thought this was the perfect way because I love music and i've had some of these stories just sitting in the back ofmy mind for along time. But I hope you enjoy!

Look around, don't you feel something missing?

I'm the one you promised you would love,

But you got ahead so far away

While I'm holding on, please turn around.

I see you but I don't feel you

Can't get your attention to save my love

Look back and see me now

Don't let me down, please turn around.

Turn around- Samantha Jade

Letty's POV

I watched him from where I sat on the hood of my car. We were at the races and as usual he'd won and was being congratulated by everyone. I sighed softly as I watched him. Before all the races and the parties he was different, he was just Dom. My Dom. My sweet loving caring boyfriend. Now as I watched him snake his arms around the waists of two blondes I realised he wasn't that person anymore. He was Dom king of the streets, able to get any woman he wanted to bed him. Your typical cocky bad boy that made all the skanks swoon and swarm despite knowing he was taken.

As I watched him I silently begged him to turn around and see me waiting for him but as usual he didn't. He was too busy laughing at something Hector said. I was losing him and there wasn't anything I could do to stop it. I had tried, I had tried so hard to find a way to get his attention and for a small short time it had worked but then the more races he won the more time he spent elsewhere without. It was then I realised we were drifting apart and there was nothing I could salvage what we had because his heart was just no longer in it. He was living a life without me.

He was moving further forward and I was stuck, frozen in time and being left behind with the chances of losing him climbing higher every day. I knew it was only a matter of time but I was still acting like that silly naïve fifteen year old that waited years for him to noticed me. But here I was at nineteen and still hoping he would suddenly turn around and realise I was still here waiting on him. For how much longer I didn't know but I knew I couldn't do this forever.

"I love you Let." He whispered and I smiled softly placing a kiss on his lips.

"I love you too Dom."

"I mean it baby… I'll love and protect you always. I'm yours."

"Yeah… sure you do." I whispered sadly as I recalled his words from two years previous.

"Hey Let." I smiled as he jogged towards me my heart fluttering at his appearance.

"Hey you did great baby." I said meaning every word.

"Doubting my skills Let?" He laughed and I felt my smile drop a little.

"Never baby you know that." I said softly and he grinned.

"Listen Hector's holding a party so I'm going to head there for a couple of hours. Don't wait up okay?" My smile completely dropped at his words and before I had a chance to say anything he kissed my cheek and started walking away. In that moment I'd never felt so lonely in my entire life. What was I doing? What was he doing?

As if he'd read my previous thoughts he proved once again everything else had his time and attention except us. I sighed and watched yet another girl latch onto him and he didn't push her off. I turned my head away sadly wondering what had gone so wrong? Did he feel anything for me anymore?

Leaving the races I headed for home not caring to tell anyone I had left. Would anyone seriously care anyway?

It was early in the morning when I felt him enter the bed and I pretended to be asleep but in the end it got too much and I looked up at him.

"Sorry Let didn't mean to wake you." He said smiling slightly and I gave him a small smile back.

"That's okay."

"Go back to sleep baby." He said as his arms wrapped around me but the gesture was empty. I felt nothing from him and the realization broke my heart but I managed to stay strong. I stayed until he fell asleep before I moved out of his arms and out of the bed. I stood there watching him for a moment before I turned away and walked out the door. I padded softly down the hall and to the spare room, my old room. We'd offered the room to Jesse or Leon plenty of times but neither wanted it saying they were fine with sharing the basement. Now I was thankful for it.

I turned down the covers and got in realizing just how big the bed felt. I sighed and lay down knowing I wouldn't go back to sleep but I couldn't lie next to Dom knowing he didn't feel anything for me anymore. I'd wait till morning when he dragged himself out of bed before I spoke to him. If he wasn't going to end it then I had to. I couldn't do this, I couldn't stand there and watch him walk away day after day putting more space between us. I couldn't save us.

I looked around the room. I knew come morning I couldn't stay here either I'd have to leave. As the thought hit me I sighed throwing the covers off me and getting up yet again. I remade the bed and padded back to Dom's room. He was a heavy sleeper so I knew me making any noise wouldn't affect him. I grabbed three duffle bags out and started packing my things. It took me till morning but I was thankful everyone was still asleep when I went and placed them in my boot. Walking back inside I went and had a shower getting dressed in the set of clothes I had put aside. I waited in the kitchen and said a quiet morning to Mia as she came down offering to make me breakfast. I declined telling her I wasn't hungry and she looked at me weirdly.

"You sure?" She asked double checking and I nodded.

"Okay… well let me know if you change your mind. Can you go grab Dom and Vince up while I get the other two?" I nodded and started up the stairs choosing Vince first. He took a while but the bribe of coffee and bacon had him up in no time. I quietly made my way to Dom's and woke him up.

"Morning." He said sleepily offering me a small smile but I didn't smile back.

"Breakfasts ready." I said simply and he nodded but he looked confused.

"Thanks… Did you tidy up?" He asked looking around the room.

"In a sense." I said quietly. He was sitting up in bed as I stood beside it and he looked at me trying to read what I thinking.

"What do you mean in a sense?"

"I can't do this anymore." I said quietly and he just stared at me not moving.

"What? What do you mean?" He asked looking alarmed and I looked right back at him sadly.

"You don't love me anymore." I whispered almost silently and his eyes widened.

"Of course I do. How could you say that? I do love you Letty…"

"Not the way you used to. Deep down you know it's true." I interrupted and he didn't say anything.

"You're really ending this." He stated rather then asked and I nodded.

"I don't know what happened Dom but one day I just looked beside me and you weren't there anymore… you were ten paces in front and there was nothing I could do to bring you back. No matter how much I tried."

"I thought everything was okay with us. You were my world Letty. I guess I just realised too late…. I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you." He said honestly and I nodded.

"Yeah me too." I said moving backwards.

"So I take it you moved your things back to the other room?" I pursed my lips and shook my head lowering my eyes to the floor.

"Letty…" He whispered and I looked to the window and he followed my gaze.

"You're leaving?" He asked shocked and I nodded.

"I don't understand just because we're not together doesn't mean you have to go."

"Yes I do. I can't be here." I whispered looking at him as I tried not to cry. That wasn't who I was.

"Let please." He said quietly looking sadly at me. It was nearly too much. I heard the emptiness behind his words. He was begging because that would be a normal reaction not because he wanted it.

"Dom I can't stay. You may not love me but I still love you. I can't stay here and pretend to be okay." I said turning away. He didn't say anything and I was about to leave when he spoke again.

"When are you leaving?" He asked.

"Now." I whispered and he looked at me in shock.

"Now? Letty please just give it a couple of days. We can give it a try. I don't want to lose you completely."

"I need to go." He looked so sad but I knew what it was now. It was because he was losing a friend not someone he loved. He paused but nodded once more slowly after a beat moving to get up.

"I'll be down in a minute." I didn't answer him I just left and started downstairs. I heard the voices in the kitchen and I tossed over the idea whether or not to say goodbye. Eventually though it won out. They were family.

"You sure you don't want any?" Mia checked again as I walked in and I shook my head as I played with my keys. I had already taken my car key off but the rest were for the house and the shops.

"You okay Let?" Leon asked and I gave him a sad smile.

"Fine." I heard movement behind me and I turned seeing Dom. He looked at me sadly but again not in the way a lover would if the person they loved was leaving. It broke my heart so I refused to meet his eyes.

"Here." I said quietly handing over the set of keys aware that the talking had suddenly stopped. He hesitated in taking them but eventually he held his hand out and I dropped them in his palm.

"Stay." He said once more quietly and I shook my head. If wantedme to stay I'd stay but he had to mean it and right now he didn't. It hurt.

"I can't."

"You're still family. As far as I'm concerned you're always welcome here, it's your house too." He said quietly and I heard a clatter of something dropping behind me followed by a gasp.

"Yeah sure." I said tapping my hand against my jeans looking away from him completely as I turned and gave everyone else a small sad smile before leaving. The stunned looks on their faces said it all, they hadn't seen this coming. As I walked through the house to the front door I heard a low rumble of voices but I couldn't make anything out. I paused with my hand on the door taking one last hopeful look behind me but as usual his back was turned towards me and I nodded silently. It concreted my decision to leave. I let out a shaky sigh as I opened the door quickly walking out as I shut it behind me softly and walking down the steps to my car.

He didn't want to save us.
