"Hello and what's your name?" Danny asked trying to disguise the boredom in his voice. He thought this whole audition thing was pretty much over when Harry joined the band. But apparently they were way off finding the right bassist. Now here they were him, Tom, Harry, James Bourne and Fletch sitting on a long table in front of a very young boy. The boy was very small, with brown/blond hair spiked up into small thorns. He was wearing too long shorts and too long socks along with an orange t-shirt sticking to his small frame. He light bruises up and down his arms but they decided to ignore it he was probably just accident prone. He was looking at the ground hands shaking as he clutched his bright blue bass guitar.
"D-Dougie P-Poynter" The boy stuttered nervously not taking his gaze of the ground for a second.
"Are we allowed to see your face, Dougie?" Harry chuckled. The boy looked up fear filling his ice blue eyes. He had a fading black eye and a gash across his right cheek but again they ignored it.
"Sorry" Dougie gasped nervously how could he of been so stupid the young teen thought to himself.
"Dude, I was joking no need to apologize"
"How old are you Dougie?" Tom asked curiously he didn't believe this boy was old enough to fit the criteria of the band that would be McFly. But Dougie insisted he had recently turned sixteen.
"Okay go ahead and play for us" Danny commands softly there is something that fascinates him about young Dougie and he was intrigued to know more. He wanted the audition to go well so he could learn more about Dougie as there was something different about him. Danny didn't realize but Harry and Tom felt exactly the same. They watched as the boy bit his lip in concentration as he strummed his bass and made the guitar produce a beautiful sound before it ended and he looked up at the five people in front of him.
"Well Dougie, how do you think it went?" Tom asked knowing already how much confidence the young lad lacked.
"Um… could've gone better… I'm gonna be honest I know I'm not a very good bassist I just wanted to hear someone else say it so I can give it up"
"Well, you're wrong you're absolutely amazing welcome to McFly" Fletch said grinning from ear to ear before walking out to sort some stuff out.
"Really, thank you so much, I won't let you down I promise" He smiled wide eyed.
"Good you can move in tomorrow or today if you want" Tom suggested
"Yes I'd love that can we go now" Dougie said almost jumping up and down in excitement.
"Don't you need to go and pack your stuff first?" James said laughing at how eager the boy was.
"This is all the stuff I own" Dougie said. That one sentence made the smile on Danny, Harry, Tom and James' faces fade. As they realized that this boy obviously didn't have the easiest life. The bruises, cuts and lack of possessions summed that fact up. The young teen owned nothing but his bass and the clothes on his back. But this only made the others more curious of what life was like from the point of view of Dougie Poynter.
