If only

(if only)

If only things didn't

s-H.a:T_t,e!r

around Dominique

[then she wouldn't feel so vulnerable.]

But how can the girl not

when everything's b;r;o;k;e;n?

{Mum&Dad split}

{Vic's got no room in her life for anyone other than Neville}

{Louis doesn't talk to her anymore}

{Aunt Gab's got her own life to live}

&&it…hurts

frankly, Dominique is hurt

-not just on the outside-

the inside aches like the dickens, too

(and she's tired of being told to

^CHIN UP^,

because she can't get over things

so easily)

&&if she hadn't walked into that shop

if she hadn't thought that wedding things would cheer her up

if she hadn't thought that the jewelry&&veils

would keep her from going to that bridge

(((and throwing it all away)))

then she probably wouldn't have found

the ~*~ONE~*~ thing

that makes her feel safe

in a world that's

sunken into the

c–r–a–p–p–e–r

and what's more beautiful than finding a l o v e that rescues you

from the

?

But even though she sees the

sSsSsSnake

several times in succession

&&pouring everything out to her

makes it all feel -better-

Dominique is

S_c_A_r_E_d

[what if she imagined it? what if this is all some kind of mirage?]

but MONTHS don't just crop up out of nowhere

&&Pansy is able to

{don't worry, Dom, Pansy has no place to be

other than at your side}

:') It's been a while since I did something so emotional…but it's quite darkly pretty, isn't it? And angsty…if you caught what Dom was thinking of doing… Remember to talk to someone if you ever feel that way! Dx *mew cares* Thanks to jojor99 for the prompt "falling," because Dom certainly was on a downward spiral, huh? :+ I hope you return to FFN soon, Clairebear! X3

Thanks for reading, and please review!

2017 note: Wow. I actually kind forgot that I'd written this in 2011 (well, not the fic but the idea). Anyway. It feels a bit like an AU to "It's Called a Funhouse." :O
