Disclaimer- A month later.... and I still own nothing.
Author's Note- Hello all. Sorry for the brief hyades I took. *laughs softly* I don't think my writing
improved any though. Sorry.
Little Orphan Annie
'What am I doing....' he looked back on the recent events. It seemed like all he had been doing was second-guessing himself...... a feeling he did not like or want. He usually did what he pleased and didn't give it a second thought. Now he was chafer to Little Orphan Annie. How did things become so tangled?
'It ends now,' he cleared his throat softly. "Where exactly am I going?"
Sherry shrugged. "Wherever you want."
He waited.
"Straight ahead about a mile. It's an apartment complex called 'Heaven's Dreams'. It's on the right."
Dom nodded, and silence followed.
"Over here?" he pointed.
"Yeah, that's it."
"Great. Nice place."
She shrugged.
"So where do I drop you off?" he thought, 'Or get rid of you.'
She pointed in between two white buildings. "Keep going through there." She paused. "I really appreciate it Dom. It was really nice of you. I know I'm not the best person to be around."
He shook his head. "I was happy to do it. You seem like a really nice girl."
Laughing softly she whispered, "Some people didn't think so."
He gritted his teeth. He liked her better silent. "Your ex was a complete jerk. Don't even look back."
"Yeah. Yeah I guess I can't."
He grunted.
She hesitated and asked, "You never told me what you were running away from...."
"I wasn't running."
"Really? You just drink booze and rescue poor girls because you think it's fun?"
He sighed. "It's complicated."
"I'm good with complicated. My life is complicated."
"Aren't we almost there?" he replied bluntly.
"Oh yeah. I guess so," she said softly.
'I don't need this.....' he sighed. "I lost my family. I came here to forget."
"That's rough. What happened?"
"I made some mistakes...... Some of them got hurt. The others left."
"Oh..... I'm sorry." she said hesitantly.
"Yeah, me too," he shrugged.
After awhile she whispered. "It's right over there. 704."
He nodded and they were left with their own thoughts.
"If I could be like that....
I would give anything,
To live one day
In those shoes."
