For Wevi. Happy late birthday, dear. Love you. :3
No capitalization. Don't like, don't read.
i.
their story begins when she's seventeen and he's nineteen and it's lily's birthday party and his name is devon and she's dominique.
a year of kisses and tears and heartbreak and love.
he promises her forever.
and like a fool, she believes him.
ii.
flash forward three years and he's out of town, out sight and out of mind (but not really.)
they see each other at lily's birthday party and she finds this an ironic twist of fate because this is just a repeat of history.
a little older, a little different and a little smarter.
(maybe not that last one.)
they end up in the broom closet and all dominique can think is, some things never really change.
iii.
skip six months and the story is still the same.
(he's walked out. and she can't get him out of her pretty little blonde head.)
she swears this time is the last.
(like we haven't heard that before.)
he walks back in.
and the game repeats.
iv.
her sister calls her out on it.
(and not for the first time either.)
dominique brushes her off.
she knows what she's doing.
(she's in over her head.)
v.
if devon is worth a mention, it it this:
he is the fuel that burns that fire that makes the game they play.
vi.
it's days and it's weeks and it's months and it's years and they continue to play their game.
he walks out.
she can't get him out of her head.
he walks in.
somethings never change.
(except, sometimes they do.)
vii.
jason wentworth:
half-blood. former gryffindor. werewolf.
viii.
devon's gone.
(again.)
and jason is there.
they meet on a photoshoot.
he has blue eyes.
(devon has green.)
blonde hair.
(brown.)
he treats her with respect.
(devon doesn't know what the word is.)
they instantly connect.
iv:
jason's there.
(where devon never really was.)
she stares at him.
ever since she was seventeen, she's made the wrong choices.
she's twenty-six now.
maybe it's time to finally make the right choices.
she kisses jason.
(and right then and there, she knows he's the one.)
x.
she tells devon to leave and not come back.
and this time she means it.
