Hi there!... oh god! That's scary.. its like the start of IT! Yeah, so anyway.. I just sort of randomly wrote this because the idea popped into my head and I didn't want to let it slip away. I'm sorry for any mistakes but it is 11 and I was up till 2 this morning uploading a different fic and then I had to wake up at 7:15 so yeah... Sorry! :) Hope you like it! :P
Harry's POV:
I was woken up in the middle of the night by a small tugging on my shoulder. I sighed and looked up to see who was there and I was shocked to end up face to face with a rather scared and confused looking Dougie. I turned to look at my clock and saw that it was only 2:47.
'What are you doing up Dougie? We've got a big concert tomorrow and we have to be up early for sound check.'
'I- I was wondering if I could talk to you about something?' He said looking slightly ashamed.
'Okay Dougs, sure. Come here and sit next to me though yeah?' I said while patting the bed beside me. I was really tired and didn't really want to be up this early but it was a rare occasion that Dougie chose to open up to me and so I thought it would be best to let him say what he was thinking.
'So what is it Dougs?'
'Erm.. Well.. Ermm..' He trailed off looking embarrassed.
'What Dougie? You can tell me anything. You know that!'
'Well.. I'm just a bit... Confused.'
'Well what are you confused about?' I said, probably with a puzzled look on my face. I heard a small mumble but I couldn't make out a word that was being said.
'What was that Dougie?'
'I'm confused about who I am...' he said slightly louder but still barely audible. 'Harry.. I- I think I might be gay. I don't know though and I'm scared.'
'Oh Dougs... It's okay. Everybody goes through this stage. It's just what being a teenager is about. It's about finding out more about yourself and discovering who you are. There is no need to be scared, me and Tom and Danny will all be here for you if you're ever a bit worried and we don't care if you're gay or not. It doesn't change your personality. Understand?'
'But how do you know that Tom and Danny won't hate me if I am gay? And what about my family? My mum fell out with my cousin because he was gay.. what if she kicks me out forever and never lets me see her ever again?' he sighed, a small tear rolling down his cheek.
'Listen Dougs. I know that the other two won't hate you because when I was going through this stage, Tom didn't hate me. And then when Danny was going through it neither me or Tom hated him, I promise. And if you're mum decided she didn't agree with you being gay then it would be her loss because you are one of the nicest people I have ever met! You are my best friend Dougie and if anything ever happens to you, I'll be by your side within a heartbeat, no matter what sexuality you are. Okay? Okay. Now I think it's probably time for you to go and get some sleep. We don't want a grumpy Butty in the morning. Goodnight Pugsley.'
'Thank you Harry. You're the best friend I'm ever going to have!' He said enveloping me in a giant hug. 'Sorry for waking you up, Goodnight.'
'It's okay Dougie. Have a nice sleep.' and with that, the door clicked shut and I was falling back into a peaceful, well-needed sleep.
