But recently Dom had began to question his feelings for Elijah, was he really in love with him or just his friend. This was Dom's first gay relationship and he was unsure of his feelings. There was knocking at his door which jolted him back into reality it would be Elijah. He knew what he must do he sat on his sofa and waited. “Dom, it's me!” Elijah cried, he knew his boyfriend was in as the lights were on. But why wasn't he answering. “Just go Lij please” said Dom quietly. Elijah was getting worried now. “Dom please..let me in..' his voice was full of panic. Dom went to his front door and he put the chain on and opened the door. “Elijah, please go home” “No Dom..please let me in, what are you doing?” Dom looked into Elijah's blue eyes. “I'm sorry Elijah, but I don't love you we should never have started this” Elijah's eyes grew wide and tears ran down his cheeks. “No Dom please, I love you” he was sobbing now and fell to his knees, his head in his hands. Dom sighed and closed the door. He hated seeing Elijah crying, but it was the only way to show him they shouldn't be together. Dom still stood at the door but he peered through the letterbox. Elijah got up, his eyes red from crying and stumbled down Dom's drive. Dom heaved a sigh of relief glad he was going and closed the letterbox. “I love you Dom, if you don't love me then, I don't want to live” Dom froze and ran back to the door, he opened it and his eyes grew wide with terror. Elijah was stood in his drive with a knife pointing at his chest, staring straight at Dom. “No Elijah, don't” “Goodbye Dom..I'm sorry” Then Billy and Sean arrived and as Elijah went to stab himself Sean grabbed the knife, throwing it to the ground. And Billy pulled Elijah into a hug. “Get off me, please..I need to..I don't want to live” Elijah struggled in Billy's hold then stopped all of a sudden. Sean turned to Dom. “What happened?” Dom ran to Elijah and led him inside, followed by Billy and Sean. They sat on the sofa. “I'm so sorry..it's all my fault, I..broke up with him” “Jesus Dom!” cried Billy. Elijah was quiet and stared ahead as if in a trance. “Lij..I'm so sorry, please talk to me..I do love you” Dom had hold of Elijah's arms looking into his eyes. “You love me..but why” “I never meant, I'm sorry and I do love you” “Oh Dom..” Elijah sobbed in Dom's warm embrace. Dom held Elijah tightly until he stopped crying. “You okay baby?” he asked smoothing Elijah's hair back. Elijah wiped his eyes and smiled. “I am now” he turned to Billy and Sean. “Thanks for stopping me..you know” he said biting his lip. “Come here you” Sean hugged Elijah. “As long as your altrete mate” Billy said joining the hug. “Is this a private moment or can I” Dom was cut short as Elijah pulled him into the group hug, he felt safe with his friends and boyfriend.
