Spoilers: None
Disclaimer: I own nada. The song "Black Balloon" belongs to the Goo Goo Dolls (I wish I owned JR) off their CD 'Dizzy Up the Girl'. Well, I own Dom and the story idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Big thrill, I know.
Notes: I had PI,FB written all the way to chapter 11 and then I re-read it. I didn't like the direction it was going. So I re-wrote it. Well, I've re-written chapter 6, I'll get to the rest soon.
Notes 2: This is still a T/H fiche but, they are going to be in for a bumpy ride. I mean, I've never had a relationship that was all smooth sailing, so why should T/H. And I love Dom. So please, don't flame her.
Notes 3: One more thing...I've got sucky grammar. I try to catch all the mistakes but sometimes I don't. So sorry about the grammar errors.
Part 6: Facing the Future
"Trance. Trance, sweetheart, wake up." said Harper as he gently shook the slumbering purple girl.
Opening her eyes and seeing him, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Well, apparently, we fell asleep while talking last night. I, actually, just woke up my self a few moments ago."
"Ugh. It's to early to be awake." complained Trance snuggling deeper into his embrace.
"How do you know it's early? You don't even know what time it is." stated Harper as one of his hands stroked her hair.
"Sshh."
"Trance, hon, as much as I hate to, I really need to get up."
Groaning, Trance got up, made her way to the bed, and threw herself on it.
"Trance?" called Harper as he got up and walked over to her.
"Go away." came her muffled reply.
"I'm going. I'm going. Oh, I'm gonna go see Dom in a little bit so I probably won't see you till lunch."
"'Kay."
"Did you even listen?"
"Dom. Lunch. Later." replied Trance.
"All right. You so obviously aren't a morning person."
"Go away." growled out Trance as she chucked a pillow at him.
"Kill the freakin' genius why don't ya." mumbled Harper as he left.
Baby's black balloon makes her fly
I almost fell into that hole in your life
And you're not thinking about tomorrow
'Cause you were the same as me
But on your knees
"Come on and hurry up in there Dom." yelled Harper from his seat on the couch.
"Charming as usual, Harper." quipped Dom coming out of the bathroom.
"Ya know, drowned rat is a good look for you." retorted Harper as he took in her wet hair.
Rolling her eyes, Dom plopped herself down beside him and asked, "What's up?"
"Well..." said Harper giving her an odd look, "nothing. No wait...Mhhh...no nothing."
"God! You are such a pervert."
Chuckling, he merely replied, "You asked."
"Har-per!"
"Okay. I just came down here to talk to you. That's it."
Studying him for a minute, Dom relented, and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"For starters, what is the deal with your choice in make-up?"
"Nothing. I was just trying to look all bad-assey." replied Dom.
"Uh-huh. Well you look a lot better like this." said Harper gesturing to her make-up free face.
"Thanks. So what's the deal with you and the purple...whatever she is?" asked Dom slyly.
"N...Nothing." stammered out Harper. Noting the gleam in her eyes, he amended, "Well not nothing exactly."
"O-kay."
"Really. I'm not sure what's the deal with us. I like her. A lot. Ah hell, I probably love her. It just that I don't know anything about her. Not really."
"Have you discussed any of your feelings with Trance?"
"No. Trance isn't exactly forth-coming about her past. She told me a little about herself recently. And it took a lot for her to tell me that. I was proud of her for it. But it really just left me with more questions."
"Then why don't you ask them?"
"I don't want to hurt her and dragging up her past would do just that."
"Uh-huh." replied Dom once again rolling her eyes.
"What is it?"
"What?"
"You want to say something, so just say it."
"No. I don't want to make you mad."
"You not telling me what's on your mind is already pissing me off." said Harper leaning in closer to her.
"Fine." growled out Dom form between clenched teeth. "Dylan told me all about Trances pre-cognitive and telepathic abilities. How do you know that she's not just messing with your mind?
A thousand other boys could never reach you
How could I have been the one
I saw the world spin beneath you
And scatter like ice form the spoon
That was your womb
"What! Are you insane?" spat out Harper as he jumped up off the couch.
"Hey, you asked." defended Dom
"Yeah but that was before I knew that you were certifiable."
"Ya know what, I don't need this shit. I'm leaving." stated Dom as she too got up.
"You can't!"
"And why is that Harper? Because Trance says so? Well, guess what? I don't care what the purple princess says. I'm going to leave if I want to."
"You're just jealous."
"Of what? That you're with her? I don't think so."
"You couldn't keep me and that's killing you."
"Harper that's a bunch of conceited crap. We never had anything like that. And for the record, if I wanted you, you'd be mine."
"Oh Please." mocked Harper.
"That's it!" shouted Dom. Crossing over to where he was, she grabbed his face in her hands and crushed his lips with hers. After several minutes Dom broke away and said, "If I wanted you, I'd have you."
"I...I...God." broke off Harper running his hands through his already sadly disheveled hair.
Grinning sassily, Dom replied, "No God. Just Dom."
"What was that?" asked Harper finally giving in to his weak knees and sinking to the floor.
Moving over to set beside him, she answered, "I don't know. You just really hacked me off when you said that I couldn't keep you."
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
An I go on as you get colder
Or are you someone's prayer
Scooting around until she was sitting right in front of him, she grabbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry Harper. I had no right to kiss you. I have no reason to be suspicious of Trance. I guess I was jealous. I'm sorry."
"It's all right Dom. Sometimes...sometimes I wonder about her myself. Is it possible to love someone you know nothing about?"
"I don't know Harper. Does her past really matter? It's her in the present that ya love."
"Life was so much simpler when we were kids."
"It may have been simpler, what with the running and hiding being are only activities, but it really wasn't a life. It was survival."
"I know. Being confused in love sucks."
Pulling him into a hug, Dom said, "The only thing I know to tell you is talk to her. If she loves you she'll understand."
Nodding his head in agreement, Harper asked, "Dom?"
"What?"
"Where the hell did you learn to kiss like that?"
You know the lies they always told you
And the love you never knew
What's the things they never showed you
That swallowed the light from the sun
Inside your room
Laughing, Dom offered, "Want me to teach Trance?"
"No! Although, you could teach me." he offered waggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"I could." replied Dom licking her lips and trailing a finger along the inside of his thigh.
"Please." squeaked out Harper.
"I don't think that Trance would appreciate it much."
"Please." pleaded Harper.
"You are such a guy!" exclaimed Dom falling back onto her back.
"And you are such a tease."
"And you're supposed to be into Trance."
"Hey, your right, I'm a guy. And your hot. I'd have to be dead not to want you."
"But you'd feel guilty afterwards Harper."
"I know."
"Thus the drawback of being in love."
"Tell me about." said Harper as he pulled Dom back up into a sitting position.
"I missed this. Us just talking about anything and everything."
"Me too."
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
An I go on as you get colder
And there's no time for losin'
When you stand they fall
"Why couldn't we have gotten together before?"
"Harper, let it go."
"It just not fair. I go from no women to two. One of whom, I know nothing about yet love. And the other, I drew up wanting but now can't have."
"Did you really used to want me?"
"Oh yeah."
"You should have told me then."
"You did not want me back then. Did you?"
"Well, I'll say no so you won't feel completely stupid."
"Gee thanks!" said Harper with a grimace.
"Your welcome." replied Dom with a smile.
"Hey will you promise me something?"
"What?"
"Will you give Trance a chance?"
"I can do that."
"Thank you."
"No problem. Hey I've got a question for you?"
"Lay it one me."
"Are you going to tell Trance that I kissed you?"
Comin' down the world turned over
And angels fall without you there
An I go on as you grow colder
All because, I'm
Comin' down the years turn over
An angels fall without you there
And I'll go on to bring you home
All because, I'm
All because, I'm
What you became to me
