Chapter Two

Dougie's POV

I heard Danny grunt and walk out of the room when he saw I was kissing Tom's neck. Harry on the other hand was totally oblivious it was even happening. I sucked at the nape of his neck making him stifled a quiet moan only audible to me. I smirked and pulled away teasingly, as I set to work, grabbing plates out of the draw and placing them on the table. Tom watched me the whole time.

After we had breakfast I turned to Danny who had been giving me filthy looks all morning.

"What is your fucking problem Danny?"

"Nothing. I don't see why you two must be sexing each other 24/7. I mean it's fucking ridiculous! At least we use to have a conversation before you pair came out and said you were together!" He snapped and I rolled my eye leaving the room not wanting to argue with him. "See! Even when I tell you the truth you piss off" he shouted after me. "Bite me!" I shouted from mine and Tom's room. I flopped down on the

bed, remembering back to the times we would have to sneak about behind everyone's backs. Harry and Danny would go away on weekends or would stay round their girlfriends houses sometimes. So Tom and I would make excuses to our girlfriends. Which we only had to keep everyone off our case as we were to scared at what might happen. We would make excuses, saying why they couldn't come round or why we couldn't go round theirs. Just so we would have our alone time. I almost lost him at one point as we had an argument as sneaking around was taking it's tole on us. It was horrible and I seriously never want it to happen again. But that night Tom had shown me his vulnerable side. It was kinda fit actually. He had switched from a 26 year old sex god to a child in need of protecting. As the storm we had that night, was scarring him.

As the lights kept going out, making him freak out about the dark. However after he stitched me up after my accident in the shower we ended up having a bath together... I have to say make up sex, in a bath is fucking amazing! Giggling to myself remembering other stuff we did with the risk of being caught at any second. It was actually quite exhilarating. Sometimes I missed it, as everything was so exciting and new. I closed my eyes falling to sleep slowly.

Tom's POV

I sat watching Danny for a while, after Dougie went upstairs. I couldn't quite tell if Danny was jealous of Dougie, as Danny and I use to hang out a lot. Or something else. Sighing I grabbed my car keys and turned to him. "You wanna come to Tesco's with me to pick up something for dinner tonight?" "yeah sure." he shrugged slipping on his shoes and followed me out to the car.

On the way back from the store I decided to ask Danny about why he's suddenly being a dick.

"Danny?"

"hmm?"

"why do you keep giving Dougie shit?"

"mate I don't know it's since you guys came out me and him haven't really go on."

"yeah I had noticed that... But why?"

"not a fucking clue. Although it doesn't really help with you pair going at it like rabbits every two minutes... you're not exactly quiet, especially him." I laughed when he said that. He wasn't wrong, however there had been so many nights where I would have to listen to Georgia's screams.

"You and Gee aren't exactly quiet either." he shot me a filthy look that I caught in the corner of my eye and shook my head. "And you moan that Dougie doesn't like the truth"

"Fuck off will ya. Gay sex isn't really my cup of tea when it comes to listening to it!"

"oh I'm sorry, I thought you said you didn't have a problem with me and Dougs being together. If I remember correctly your exact words were 'as long as your both happy and don't break the band up, then I'm all for you two being together. You actually suit each other'" I took my eyes off the road for five seconds at most but it happened to

quickly...

Dougie's POV

I jumped awake. I could of swore I heard Tom's yell of pain... Something wasn't right. I stumbled of the bed feeling as if half of my soul had been ripped to pieces. 'Tom needs me.' My brain screamed. Something was very wrong, he had been hurt badly. I could tell. I crawled to the landing hearing the phone ring. Harry had answered it,

as he was next to the phone. I pulled myself up onto my feet and stumbled around the house in search of Tom. "TOM!" I shouted panicking, looking for him. Where was he?

I was in the kitchen when I heard Harry's sudden intake of breath. I griped onto the kitchen counter tightly wanting to know what Harry was being told. He looked up to me with sad eyes. It must have been bad news he looked like he had been kicked in the gut. "Not Tom please. Please don't let it be about Tom." I whispered to myself tears spilling from my eyes and down my face from worry, as I hadn't found him anywhere in the house. Harry nodded and said his goodbye before putting the phone down. He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. He was shaking. or was that me?

"Dougie."

"yeah?"

"Erm... its about Tom and Danny"

"w-what's happened?" I looked up at his face into his eyes, trying to see if they could tell me what had happened. They were blank, emotionless. What ever he had been told he was hiding how he felt very well.

"They..." he was trying to figure out how to say what he had been told. "They had a car accident.. And Tom was the one driving..." he swallowed. "He swerved to avoid hitting a deer and ended up smashing into a lorry head on. He's in sugary now." He said quietly as if he couldn't believe it himself. I stood there in shock and slid to the

floor feeling as if someone had ripped my heart right out of my chest. "A-and Danny?" he knelt next to me putting a hand on my shoulder to try and comfort me.

"Danny has a broken leg... Also a few cuts and bruises" He swallowed awaiting my reaction. He didn't need to wait long. I cried out and pushed Harry away causing him to collided into the wall with a loud "OOFT". I didn't wanna hear anymore. If Tom died I'd be nothing but an empty shell. He was my universe. If he wasn't in it, then life wouldn't be worth living anymore. I curled into a ball sobbing more. I could tell he was still alive. Just. It just hurt me so much knowing he was in so much pain. And I could do nothing to help him at all.

"Please Tom. Please be alright. Please stay strong and fight I cant lose you. Not now. Please." I whispered pleading for him to be okay. Harry crawled over to me still winded from hitting the wall. "Dougie he's in good hands. He'll fight this, you just need to believe in him." "I-I-I-I know. B-but it hurts h-Harry. I-It hurts s-s-so m-much. H-hes in s-so much pain and I-I-I cant help h-him. I-I c-can feel it" I said

between sobs. Harry nodded and pulled me into a hug and let me sob into his chest.

Three hours later I woke up in my bed confused as to how I had gotten there. Was it a dream? I looked at the sleeping figure next to me. The brunette was snoring softly. I rubbed my eyes stifling a yawn and crawled out of bed slowly so not to wake Harry. I could tell Tom was still hurt. I didn't know how, I just could. It made my heart ache. I

walked into the bathroom and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked ghostly. My eye looked like two dark hollows. They were blood shot from all my crying as well. I was pale, very pale. I couldn't bare to see any more so I turned towards the shower tugging off my clothes slowly. I took in a deep breath and I stepped in. Slowly I turned on the water, letting it drum against my body. "He's okay... He's going to be okay... The Tom I know would never give up" I whispered to myself.
