Realised I didn't say anything on the last chapter so, hi, this is my first full length fic that I've posted on here, so I'm still learning the ropes, so please bare with me! But this has also been posted on the official McFly boards, and it's not doing too badly over there, so I thought I'd try my hand with it over here. I hope you enjoy it! :) Also, if you do read, could you please review too? Thank you! :)
Dougies POV
As the weeks went by, Danny got more and more depressed, wishing that Tom would just come home. We all wished he would come home, or at least tell us he was okay, or just contact us in some way. Danny was taking it the hardest, which was to be expected, Tom was his (ex?) boyfriend, having him disappear like this was killing him on the inside. "he'll come back Danny, I know he will." I encouraged, trying to smile. "its been 3 months, 12 days, and 6 hours since he disappeared, and no-one knows where he is, there isn't a trace of him." Danny whimpered, yawning loudly, he hadn't slept much since the disappearance. "someone will find something, we'll find him. You'll get him back soon." I promised, rubbing his shoulder. "how do you know that Dougs? How can you possibly know that? You can't know for sure that we will get him back! He is the love of my life and he has gone, without a trace! There's no clothes left, no car, no phone. Sh*t, I was going to ask him to move in with me and he's gone and run off without a trace!" Danny almost shouted, putting his head in his hands and sobbing.
"oh Dan, I know because he's Tom, we know him, and we've told the police where he is likely to be, their looking for him. And as you said, he has his car and phone, he'll have to fill up on petrol soon, and use his credit card. And he'll have his phone on, the police can trace those things, and using them they'll find him." Harry explained, squeezing between us and putting an arm around us both. "but I want him back now! Its not fair, I want him here!" Danny whimpered, grabbing hold of one of Toms toys, clutching it close. "we'll have him here soon, trust us, its Tom, he can't stay incognito for long. He'll slip up and give us a clue as to where he is, and then we'll have him back. Then Danny, Tom can move in with you, and we'll go back to normal." Harry kissed each of us on the head, giving us the comfort we both needed.
"c-can you guys stay tonight? I really want to hold someone, and be held." Danny whimpered, he looked so lost and helpless, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. "yeah, of course we'll stay Dan. You staying here or at your house tonight?" Harry smiled a little, grabbing Dannys hand and giving it a squeeze. "mine, everythings got to stay the same, for Tom. Its got to stay the same." Danny answered, he had had this strange idea in his head that everything had to look exactly how Tom left it. So when he came back, if he came back, he could carry on normally. Literally, no-one had slept in this house since Tom left, we always went back to our own places, leaving everything in the exact same place where they were left.
3) Toms POV
I was shivering, literally shivering like mad, but it was worth it. Just to see them, it was worth the risk of being caught, just to see Danny, Harry and Dougie. I was hiding in a tree across the street, hiding almost at the top, out of sight to anyone on the ground. How I had managed to get up here with no-one noticing I will never know, but I'm glad I did. The pain from missing the guys, especially Danny, killed me over and over again, but, seeing them, admittedly from a reasonably far distance, lessoned it a little.
I must have waited for over an hour before I saw them come out of my old house, and I gasped when I saw them. Danny had wrapped himself up in one of my blankets, being held in Harrys arms, looking like he was sleeping. Dougie locked up the house and joined the brunettes, sliding an arm around Harrys waist, walking down the road together to Dannys house, further away from me, looking so happy.
Really, I shouldn't have been shocked to know Danny had moved on already, but I was, it shocked me to see him already in another relationship, and all three boys looked like they loved each other a lot, a lot more than when I was around. That proved it then, it was a good thing I ran away, seeing my three old best friends walking down the road together proved they loved each other more than they ever loved me, now they could really be happy without me.
But why would they be coming out of my house? What could they possibly want there? Were they waiting for me, to tell me that they didn't want me anymore now they realised they loved each other? Or were they just getting rid of my stuff? Probably just getting rid of my junk, I had taken everything I wanted with me, apart from the stuff they had given me, I'm sure they got great pleasure from getting rid of it.
Eventually, I got out the tree, it must have been midnight now, curious to see what my house looked like. As carefully as I could, I crept down the road, trying to make sure no-one saw me, I had my hood up, and I was dressed all in black, so no-one should have seen me. Looking through the window, nothing had changed, absolutely nothing, it looked exactly how I remembered it. What the hell?
"hey, get away from that window!" someone shouted, someone with a Bolton accent. Oh that accent was heavenly, so heavenly, I could have listened to it all day. But I had to run, Danny couldn't know I was here, so I ran, as fast as I could. "yeah, run away and don't come back!" was the last thing I heard before I rounded the corner, breaking down crying. My heart hurt, my old boyfriend, who I still loved with everything, didn't want me anymore. He didn't want me to come back, he was happy with his life now. Rejection from someone I had run away from shouldn't hurt this bad, but it did. My whole body ached, just for Dannys touch, his strong arms around me, making the world feel safe and less scary. I ached to hear 'I love you' in that Bolton accent, those 3 words telling me that it was all okay, I was loved, safe, and not judged. Not hearing those words killed me on the inside, making me feel dead. "I'm sorry Danny, I won't come back." I cried, sliding down a wall and crying in a heap on the floor.
