A/N: I’ll dedicate this to my baby,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maidenvixen and my budddddddy (too much Paulie Shore here…) sheselectric and this is also for pinkmoonlite for hooking me up with the track.
A/n2: I suggest listening to Goodbye To You while you’re reading this. It’s on Broken Bracelet.
Feedback: I love it!
Of all the things I've believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star.
Dominic looked at his CD collection and finally pulled out Michelle Branchs’ first album. He smiled and put it in. He put it on track 8 and hit the repeat button. He sat down in a chair and leaned back to look at the ceiling. He sighed and closed his eyes, letting the guitar melodies and Michelles’ voice drift over him.

“Let’s try it Dom.”
“I don’t know Bills…”
“What can it hurt?”
Dominic grinned. “Okay.”
They kissed.
(---)
Dominic opened his eyes as Billy came in the door. Dominic stared at the radio, thinking of the best way to say what he had to say. Billy, as regular as clock work, went upstairs to shower. Dominic fingered the arm of the chair and looked at his two packed bags. Three years. They met in 1999. In New Zealand, it had been miraculous and wonderful.
But Dom wasn’t a fool, he’d noticed the changes. Every single one of them. Billy would only have a relationship, a real one where you went out on dates and held hands in public, if they were in fucking New Zealand. He couldn’t do it. Couldn’t do it anymore. Every time he turned around Billy was hurting him worse than ever.
Everything had changed when they had finished principle shoots in New Zealand. Everything had. All the relationships shifted into something else. They had been in a fucking bubble practically in New Zealand. They lived in their own world, it was hobbits and elves and men and dwarves and wizards there. It was a boys club, a party 24/7. But like all good things it had ended. Ended too soon in Dominics’ opinion.
And like a fool Dominic had tried to hold on to a relationship that could never be real, that would never work. It couldn’t work because him and Billy were meant to be best friends not lovers. Everyone told them that…but…Dominic hadn’t seen it. He couldn’t see it. Billy was his world, everything he lived for was in Billy.
Dominic looked up fifteen minutes later as Billy came downstairs and stared at the two suitcases and then he heard the music. (I’ve been searching deep down in my soul…) “Dom, love? What’s going on?”
Dominic set his jaw, he knew the tears were there but he’d be damned to hell if he was going to let them fall. “I can’t do this any more Billy…”
“You’re not Frodo Dom.”
“Billy, no jokes. I’m serious. I’m leaving…you.”
Billy stared at Dom horrorstricken. He couldn’t believe he had just heard that. “Dom? Love, why?”
“Because this…this doesn’t work. We can’t be a couple. It doesn’t work.”
“I thought you loved me.”
“I do love you.”
“Then why are you breaking up with me?”
“Because Billy this DOESN’T WORK.”
“What doesn’t work, we can fix it.”
“Billy, this worked in New Zealand, it was miraculous in New Zealand…”
“Then why are you breaking up with me?”
“BECAUSE I CAN’T DO IT ANYMORE!”
“Do what?”
“This, with you. Only being a real couple when we’re in Wellington where the whole blasted town doesn’t care what we do.”
The tear slipped down Billys’ cheek as he sank to the floor. Dominic groaned and crouched in front of him.
“Bill…Bill, listen to me.”
Billy looked at him like a child who had just been told his pet was gone. “Bill, I love you. I do, but…but…this is…I can’t do it…”
“I love you.”
“And I you.”
“You’re running.”
“No, I’m not running. I’m moving on with my life like you told me to do. This relationship was childish fantasy between the two of us. It was something I was trying to keep from New Zealand…and now…what we had there is a memory. A great memory.”
Dominics’ eyes flitted over Billys’. He was trying to avoid getting caught in them, it would end all he was trying to do.
“Look me in the eye and tell me you don’t love me.”
“I can’t do that. I do that because it’s not true.”
“Then when are you leaving?”
“Because this isn’t working Billy. It doesn’t work.”
“But…But…Dom…”
Billy floundered for something to say. Dominic kissed him softly, silencing him. He stood up and stared at the radio. He turned it off and took his CD out. “I love you, Billy.”
Billy stared at him. Dominic had his back to him, staring at the ceiling. Dominic had never said it. Dominic turned, smiling. “Not to sound like a prat…quoting a song or anything, but…when the stars fall, I’ll lie awake, thinking of you…”
Dominic left. The door shut. The car pulled out and Billy stared at the door.
Goodbye to You and Broken Bracelet belong to Michelle Branch. Not me. So…right
