Chapter 2: BBQ accident


Maria´s POV:

So he went home after we decided to meet up at his house at 7.

I couldn´t stop smiling but his words kept going on and on in my mind. You know, I miss your old smile. I tried to push the thought away but somehow it kept coming back.

As I arrived, I knocked on his door because his doorbell was broken like always. He was there in so short amount of time with a big smile on his face. He had an apron on and I couldn´t help but giggle. He led me through his enormous house to the backyard where Giovanna – his girlfriend and my best friend – was waiting with apron on too. I smiled at her and hugged her. "I´m sorry to hear about you and Doug," she told me and I just faked a smile at her. "It´s okay," I reassured her though with her being my best friend she would see right through me.

She looked more happy than I´d ever seen her before. "Why are you so happy anyway?" I asked suspiciously. She smiled and told me that Tom had proposed to her and how. She was so happy that I couldn't do anything besides smiling. He'd been so romantic that I´d wish it was me.

Tom´s POV:

Seeing Maria smile was amazing. I knew from what Gio had told me that she hadn´t smiled in a while. She hadn´t been out of the house that much. I put the sausages on the grill while Maria and Gio stood a little away talking.

Then I heard a knock on the door but the girls' didn´t seem to hear so I went to open it. "Hey dude," Dougie said as I opened the door. "Hey," I answered with a nervous voice. I was starting to panic. I couldn´t let Dougie and Maria see each other. "Why are you here?" I asked and he'd looked at me in a weird way. "I just wanted to give you your Star Wars DVD back, and to know if you wanted to grab a beer," he told me with a confused expression.

I knew I couldn´t say no to him, Dougie had been really down every day this past month and letting him down now would just feel wrong. "Oh…Yeah, of course, hey, why don´t you check out the new demo I made? It is in the studio. Then I´ll just go get the beers," I told him and was grateful that I actually had written a new demo just a few days ago. "Oh okay, sure," he said and walked by me as I opened the door wider for him. As soon as he was out of hearing range I grabbed my phone. I started texting.


Dude, you need to come,
Maria and Dougie´s in the same house.
They haven´t seen each other yet,
but it will only be a short amount of time before this will go wrong!

Tom


Okay I´ll be there in a minute

Danny


Go in by the backyard
Maria´s there

Tom


Okay

Danny


It didn´t take long before I saw Danny sneak into my garden through the bushes. He walked up behind Maria and surprised her which made her laugh. I was just about to go to the studio to see Dougie when he met me where I was. "Is that Maria?" he asked and looked over my shoulder. I turned around and didn´t know what to say. "Yeah…umm," I started and scratched my neck. "Why´s Danny here?" he asked with slightly obvious jealousy. I tried to see why he would be jealous. Then I figured that he would be thinking that Danny and Maria would be going out.

"Oh, It´s not what you think," I told him but it was too loud because Maria turned around with shock obviously. She suddenly threw her hands up in the air and hit Danny in the face, making him fall over and take the grill with him in the fall. I found it funny but I could see it was serious. I ran over to the scene of accident and looked at Danny. He had a few burnings on his left arm but it wasn´t serious, and he was unconscious. Maria still stood there unmoving and in shock, I´m not sure what shocked her most, seeing Dougie or causing Danny's accident. "Maria, call an ambulance," I yelled but she still didn´t react. "Dougie?" I turned my head to see that he was in the same kind of shock as Maria. I pulled out my cell phone quickly and called 911.

Maria was sitting in a chair beside the still unconscious Danny, Dougie was standing with his back pressed against the wall and looked out of the window, and I was sitting on a chair against the wall behind the door. Neither of us was speaking and Dougie and Maria were as far away from each other as possible. The only noise in the room was our breathing, though Danny´s was the loudest.

Five minutes of awkward silence later Danny started blinking and moving. He whined in pain, I guessed it was his arm, which was bandaged. "Danny! Are you okay?" Maria asked with relief. She was looking straight into his eyes. "Yeah, I´m fine, now tell me, how did I end here?" he asked in a slightly joking voice being the same old Danny he was. He never changed. "Hey Dougie´s here," he exclaimed and smiled obviously thinking that him and Maria had made up. Dougie didn´t react he just kept looking out of the windows at the stars. The sound of a cell phone ringing filled the room and Maria´s hands flew to her pockets. "Sorry…" she whispered just before she picked up. After a while she walked out of the room still on the phone so it was only Danny, Dougie and I left in the room.

"Well, congratulations," Dougie said and looked at Danny for the first time. "What do you mean?" Danny asked really confused. "Did he hit his head too?" Danny continued, turning to me. I shook my head. "You know, with you and Maria," Dougie continued and Danny started laughing. "You think there´s something going on between Maria and me?" he asked still laughing really hard. Then the smile disappeared. "You really think I would do that to you?" Danny asked trying to be mad though that wasn´t ability he was known for. He never could be mad for more than a few seconds before a smile would spread, though he would try to hide it, he always did.

Dougie just sat there looking at him with a blank expression. "So you´re not dating?" he asked in disbelief. Maybe he was thinking how he could have thought that. Then the door opened and Maria stepped in again and had an apologetic expression on her face. "I have to leave, hope you´ll feel better," she said turning to Danny. "Oh…cool," he answered and turned his head and winked at Dougie whose expression turned from blank and thoughtful to relieved. "Okay...goodnight," I told her and smiled.
