I'm home now. Woo. I legged it after the filmstudies class and am making some more duck animation! woo hoo.
I jstu promised
imogen_star_dom tha I would stick up another Cabin chapter as shes havign a bit of a day of it. So here u go. Its still a little depressive, but 
Dommie makes me smile in it.

********
Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could

Lying on the floor of the cabin Dom reflected over the last few weeks. He knew it was over. Their final stand had taken place, he was ready to let go. Not wanting it to turn into a fight again or a repeat of last nights fiery sex, Dom stood. Looking into Billy’s eyes Dom knew they were both spent, they had nothing left to give. Walking away Dom didn’t feel sorry, he just felt empty. “I still love you” he muttered as he took one last look at Billy.

All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong

Sitting in a chair, Dom thought back. He couldn’t help but think he was giving up. But he knew he couldn’t hold on to something that wasn’t there any more. He could spend the rest of his life trying to gain back that power over Billy. He could try with all he had left to get back what they once had, to try to make it better. But what he had done, how he had treated Billy, he didn’t deserve to have that back, to make it better. He shouldn’t have behaved like that and now he was sorry.

The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
First kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you told me to look past everything I had ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love

Finally it was over and Dom knew it. He had tried to make it last, tried to keep Billy to himself, but he knew it wasn’t going to work Billy had been his first love, the first true loves kiss. They had connected in a way Dom never had with another person. The way Billy had made Dom look at the world, at the meaning of love and life had changed him forever.

That last night had been everything, with a last look a last goodbye Billy left Dom whispering “I love you”

We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes

Dom knew this time the fighting had been different, he knew though they had been threw worse, this time it was different. The same mistakes, but they were both tired from trying to keep it together. Dom accepted that his pressure on Billy had driven him away though Billy claimed it was more than just that. Watching Billy walk out the door Dom knew they needed to be apart before they drove each other mad, before they killed each other
And so they parted and Dom sat and watched the sky.
