" It's already over." Maddy whispers out to Damon as her heart drops with a pressure of regret and heartbreak. She can see his lip quiver that indicates the sadness he tries to prevent
" You think I believe that? I won't let you push me away Maddy...

WHEN DAMON AND MADDY WERE KIDS , life was so much easier
They had not expectations of love, and they had no true idea of loss
Emotions and Feelings are what makes people human, and to be human, is to love
As kids, no one may understand those things but as people grow up, they realize that feelings made from childhood are even stronger than the ones when they grow
Childhood love is the strongest because it's the most unknown. How could you love something if you don't know what it is?
That's how Damon felt ever since he met Maddy. Childhood love that he couldn't explain
He can clearly remember the day, when they were still young and everything was still alright
The memories of being a child stay with people forever, so that's why he supposes that he will remember Maddy forever until the day that he dies
And he hates it. When ever did the sweet little boy he was turn into the monster he is?
How could he ever think such a thing. How could Maddy ever betray the man that has always loved and waited for her
Maddy thinks it's because she's afraid of love. She thinks sometimes that it scares her. She is the type to like things that are like concrete, like the ocean
Something that she can just point at and know what it is. And perhaps that's why she struggles with love. She can't let herself touch it, she can't hold on to it and expect it to never change
Maddy loves in the way in which she expects bad things, she knows of love. She doesn't hold the childhood version of it that shows her that love can be a mystery as a blessing
She knows love as hurt, pain, and suffering. But maybe expecting love to fail is what makes her make it fail
Damon stands next to Fezco as he counts the money for him, just needing some time with his best friend to sink in the familiar bond he has with the brothers
It is a nice day, or it should have been. No body in the house expects for the cops to knock on the door, their fists getting more demanding as moments pass
Damon's eyes sit in with horror as he starts to grab the pills, all three of them running towards the toilet to flush them
" Hurry up! Flush that shit, ima grab the money!" Fezco appoints the orders to the younger guys, just hoping and praying that he doesn't get caught up
It is like a dream to Damon ash he moves to flush the drugs, like he is being tested by someone or something to see if he can do it
His mind turns sour when the doors kick in, Ashtray pushing away from his seated position to push Damon out of the bathroom
" Go, buy me some time." Ashtray beckons towards the living room with his head, trying to move as fast as he can
Damon nods as he raises his hands up in the air, his eyes closed as he thinks of what is happening. He sees the police with guns in their hands, immediately pulling them to his directions as they scream demands
The whole thing seems like hours, and every second his heart pounds even harder from what he knows are Nate Jacobs actions
Nate has tried to ruin his life, and he seemingly has as Maddy and him are no longer together
The looks of glances between Damon and Fez send messages across, both of them know who is behind this
And it won't take long for Damon to get his revenge along with Fez fueling it
Damon just pushes the feelings aside as he is allowed to leave, looking back one more time at the brother he would leave behind
His heart aches when he walks to his car , all his thoughts on how fucked up Nate Jacobs can be. His mind is in shambles while driving to his house, forgetting of how his pregnant ex girlfriend is there with her mom
The same pregnant ex girlfriend who slept with Nate Jacobs when they broke up, when he was healing. He had given up drugs for the taste of how life can be, and he's getting the wrong side of it in every single way
Damon doesn't want to see her, especially now after their tearful night. She broke him, and that was the last straw for him
And ironically, he can't even escape her as she is at his house, and opens the door to greet him, at his house
" Hi." Maddy almost whispers at him when she opens the door from his knock
Everything in her is holding her away form jumping into his arms and not letting go until he forgives her
But that's not how reality is
" Hey." Damon mutters back at her before passing right past her without a second thought. His eyes have a void in them once he looks upon Maddy's mother who practically scowls at him from the table
" Hi honey." Suze raises her glass to her son in meeting, her face holding a small smile that makes him somewhat happy
" So, let's discuss the baby." Suze claps her hand on the table, looking to Maddy that braces herself for what may happen
And even after everything, Damon can't help but stare and be consumed by her beauty, by the very sight of her that sends jolts of happiness inside his veins
His heart beats for her, while her heart avoids every single aspect of him
" Yeah, um, what did you exactly wish to speak about?" Damon clears his throat as he takes his attention away from Maddy who sits uncomfortably down in her seat
