Well, yesterday I took a long trip and on that trip, I wrote a story. It's Pones, which I'm not to great at writing, but I tried. It's gonna be in two parts, this being the first. If you can, try and tell me what song inspired this story... Good luck... And part two will probably be up sometime in the next week.

Part 1

Doug's POV

I stepped off the bus, back into an extremely familiar town. It was a tiny little farm town inhabited by a little over 6,000 people. It was my hometown.

Just because I was one of America's best lawyers didn't mean I couldn't come see my mother every once in a while.

The only problem, I hadn't been here in over 6 years. And then there was him. I knew he was still living here, as my mom told me when I had called her a week ago.

Danny...

He had been my secret boyfriend. Nobody knew that we were TOGETHER. They knew we were close friends, but to come out as a gay high schooler in hick headquarters, Nebraska was just off the menu.

I was making my way home and I couldn't shake the memories I still had from everywhere in this town. I began walking along the Main Street. I passed a little joint that I could never forget, Tom's Diner.

It was the place that me and my best friend, Tom would hang out. He was Tom Fletcher Jr. His father, Tom Fletcher Sr, owned the place and that's where I met Tom. I remember that was also where I met Danny.

It was late September in 2004. I was about 16 and quite the free spirit. Tom and I hurried into the diner, the cold winds beginning to send chills down the spines of the whole town.

We sat down at our normal booth, and he caught my eye as he walked in the door and sat at the bar, Danny Jones. He was never the biggest talk of the town, but SOMEONE was always there to keep me informed about him.

He was a year ahead of me and I had never met him. He and I were never the type to be close friends, although we eventually would come to be. He was the kind of person who worked on the farm while I was the type to be completely focused on my education to get out of that town.

Tom began gossiping about some hot girl he had encountered earlier that day, but I couldn't pay attention to him as my eyes were glued to the cute boy with the unruly brown hair, chatting with his other brunette friend. His blue eyes sparkled as he laughed along with his mate.

He looked over at me and I quickly looked back to Tom, embarrassed and red in the face. "Her name is Giovanna. Oh god Doug, I think I'm in love," Tom complained.

"You're not the only one," I mumbled to myself.

Then he got up. Danny came over to associate with me. He slid into the booth across from me, situating himself next to Tom. "Hey," he smiled at me. "I'm Danny. Danny Jones."

"Thomas Fletcher Jr. My father owns this place," Tom introduced himself confidently, shaking Danny's hand.

"And you?" He asked me.

"D-Dougie Poynter," I stuttered, nodding at him.

"Well guys, mind if me and my mate Harry join you?" He asked Tom and I, a cheeky grin on his face.

"No. The more the merrier!" Tom chirped happily. Danny waved Harry over and he sat by me.

We got talking and I found that I loved Danny more and more with every cheesy joke he cracked at Harry and every time he looked at me, an adorable smile plastered across his lips.

I continued walking and approached a building, its sign that said, "CINEMA CENTRE," was lit up in red, the m and r flickering on and off.

The place was dead. When my mom had taken me there for the first time, I had thought it was the most amazing place ever. That's what brought on my obsession with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that lasted well over 5 years.

There was something else that changed my life forever...

"What are we going to see?" I asked excitedly, as I always did when I went to the movies.

"I told you this already, Doug. I'm here to see Constantine with Gi. They're saying it's one of the scariest movies of 2005," Tom reminded me.

"That's right! But why am I here if you're going on a date?" I stated, confused.

"I don't know why you followed me here. What I DO know is that I'm not buying a ticket for you," he pointed out harshly.

"TOMMY!" We both heard from behind us.

We snapped around to find Gi running top speed at Tom, her dark hair hopping in the wind. She leaped at him and engulfed him in an embrace.

"You ready?" She asked, kissing him.

"I guess," he gulped.

They bought their tickets and went inside, leaving me lonely and sitting on the curb.

"Doug, what are you doing?" A familiar voice asked me.

I turned my head to find Danny all dressed up, wearing a grey dress shirt with the top three buttons undone and tight black jeans. His hair was straight and reached down to his chin.

"Tom ditched me," I sighed.

"You're not alone, dude," he replied sadly, sitting down beside me.

"How so?" I asked.

"My damn girlfriend stood me up," he explained.

"That sucks. I'm sorry man," I comforted him.

"That's not even the worst part. About five minutes later, she called to tell me she was breaking up with me," he frowned, scrunching his eyebrows together to keep from tearing up.

At that point, my emotions took over and I hugged him. After about five minutes, he separated from me and mumbled, "thank you."

"Anytime," I whispered back.

"I-I, um, well I don't suppose you wanna go see the movie with me, do you? It starts in ten minutes and I have two tickets," he half smiled.

"I would love to," I told him, getting up to my feet. I took his hand in my own and pulled him to his feet. "Let's go!"

We hurried into the theatre and got our seats. Once we were situated, the movie started. We got through about a quarter of the film when I realised I still was holding Dan's hand. I let go and mumbled, "sorry."

I could tell I had bright red cheeks, but it was, luckily, too dark for Dan to see. He scooped my hand back up and I snapped around, looking at him in the eyes, surprised.

"Don't be," he assured me.

I swallowed hard, then realised he was getting closer and closer to me. He bit his bottom lip before lightly pressing them to my own.

I was shocked at first, but soon melted into the kiss and wound my fingers through his hair, the other hand rested along the side of his face, cupping his chin.

I had wanted it to go on forever. Sadly though, he eventually pulled away and sat back in his seat, retaking my hand in his. I leaned my head over, gently resting it upon Danny's shoulder.

After the film, he took me behind the theatre, using it as a private place to continue our session from earlier. He pressed me up against the brick wall and smashed his face to mine, obviously wanting to do this for some time.

That night he drove me home and that was the end of our first date.

I wiped my eyes, beginning to cry at the memory.

I decided to cut through the park to get home quicker. I passed a bench and felt something in me.

Loneliness...

That day. The one day ill never forget in my life. I sat on that bench the last day I was ever in this town before now.

I sat on the bench, ready to discuss all the different news I had gotten the past day with Danny.

He arrived and I pulled him down beside me on the bench.

"Hi," he grinned.

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

"What's up?" He asked, curious on why I had called him to come here.

"I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED!" I exploded, throwing my arms into the air.

"Oh," he sighed sadly. "That's great," he smiled half-heartedly.

"I'm gonna become famous, Dan!" I told him frantically.

"I'm proud of you," he nodded.

He said he was happy for me, but I could see in his eyes that his heart was breaking inside.

"You're coming with me," I instructed him.

"I can't. I'm working for my dad. He told me I have to take over the farm when he can't anymore. I'm not leaving him," he told me sadly.

"Then I'm not leaving. I can't leave you," I argued, trying to hold back tears.

"You are leaving. I won't let you stay here and rot your life away in this stupid town anymore. I love you too much to let you do that," he dictated me.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do without you," I sighed, the tears beginning to roll down his face.

"You'll survive. There's better people out there than dorky little me. You'll make plenty of friends at your college and find someone you love more than me," he chuckled.

"No I won't. I won't ever forget you. I'll be back for you. I promise I will be. We're meant to be, Danny Jones! And you'd be wrong if you thought otherwise. Because god dammit, I love you!" I told him.

"I love you too Doug," he told me. He leaned over, kissed me one final time, wished me luck in life and walked away from me.

He walked out of my whole life...

I sat down on the bench and began to cry. Who was I kidding? I hadn't even tried to meet anyone else since that day. I wanted to prove Dan wrong. I wanted to show him that he was the only person I would love.

I got up and sniffled, wiping my nose on my sleeve and walked through the park.

I came across one last place before getting home, Judd's Place.

Harry's father had owned it when we were kids. I remember the first time Harry had talked his dad into letting Dan and I in. It was a few months after we had hooked up.

The first steps we took inside made me sick. All I could smell was alcohol and cigarette smoke. It felt so humid in the place that I could almost feel the rain clouds.

Danny somehow managed to get us rounds of drinks and before I knew it, we were both drunk off our asses.

He cranked up the stereo and lifted me onto the bar. He danced in front of me, occasionally having me join in with his moves.

It was about 2:30 when we decided to go home.

I remember clearly the one important thing he told me on our way home,

"My parents aren't home tonight."

He hurried us home and as soon as we burst through the door of the farm house, our lips were on each others. He pulled off my jacket, myself returning the favour for him.

Before I knew it, I was awoken in the morning by Dan's groaning. I opened my eyes to find Danny standing in the middle of the room, completely nude, closing the blinds.

"Damn sunlight," he grumbled, shielding his eyes.

"Hey sexy," I teased, smirking at him. "Nice ass."

He turned and winked at me, a smirk forming on his lips that insisted a certain action he was about to take.

I walked into the building and sat at the end of the bar where I had once danced with my love.

The man behind the bar took my order without even looking up.

He delivered my drink and looked up at me finally, only to have me realise who it was...

Well. That's part for you. Hope you enjoyed it. It's mostly all flashbacks, but the second part won't be. And can you guess who's working at the bar? It's not hard to tell. Well. :D Ciao! XX - Sam
