Hello! New update for you!

Dougie/OC

Disclaimer-noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dougie's POV


I have never wanted to be hit by a car so badly in my life. I practically walked in slow-mo across the street and Jazzie pulled me the rest of the way up the walk.

"This is pay-back for anything you've done and will do." sibling rivalry, character building or cruel and unusual punishment? You decide.

My mum rang the bell and a woman with short blonde hair answered it.

"Hi, there." she smiled a familiar smile, Music's soft, pretty "hello" greeting is what it reminded me of

"Nice to meet you, I'm Mrs. Poynter from across the street--these are my kids Dougie and Jasmine." I smiled awkwardly

"Oh well, I'm Mrs. Inall, please come in!" she stepped aside and we all sat down at their table. The two three of them got right to talking. "Marissa, my girl, has had the move a little rough--it being her birthday and all and that the move was so sudden! I'm surprised she was willing as she was to leave everything behind."

"Strong girl, good character trait." commented my mother "Her birth day? She doesn't know anyone here, who is there to throw a party?" Mum had a soft spot for kids of all ages

"She set up her computer with a web cam--that's what she's probably doing right now." she sighed "They threw her an early party and gave her an electric guitar, an acoustic guitar, and a keyboard--this house is never quiet now!" I half smiled and chuckled "Dougie...Dougie?" her eye brows pinched together "Oh! She talked about you as she ran up the steps!"

My face felt hot "What'd she say?"

Mrs. Inall smiled "Um, 'Can't talk now Mom--met a nice guy named Dougie he lives across the street. Don't go and say hi, that would be embarrassing.' Then she ran off. You can go up to her room if you want, first door on the left."

I looked to my mum and she nodded. I headed up stairs thinking of what I could say when I saw her...I ended up with nothing! So I just decided to wing it.

"Tell us more about this guy, Claire!" said a mechanic-sounding voice

"He's so sweet, he plays the guitar and his name is Dougie." She said facing the opposite wall, completely oblivious to me

"Yeah, yeah. The name doesn't matter--is he cute?!" came a different voice, I looked over her shoulder and saw five girls crammed into one small space on her monitor screen. One was black with dark, pin-strait blonde-streaked hair, maybe an Eighties retro girl. Another was really pale with pitch-black hair and black lips, a Victorian style Goth. Two were preppy looking twins both with platinum blonde hair. The last was an Asian girl with extremely long black hair--she was the one that spotted me.

"I'll say he is! Hey Buddy--You're really hot!" she yelled at me

Music whipped around with wide eyes "Uh...Hi..."

"Do you have a brother?!" one twin yelled

"Kayli!" she yelled

"Nope, sorry." my face was red hot but I tried not to show how nervous I was

"Hey, Claire, we're gonna go ok?" said the Goth

"I love you the most, Kris." Sighed Music

"No!"

"Kris, come on!" five pairs of hands went for the mouse

"You can't do tha--" click, they were gone

She turned to me again "Well...that wasn't awkward at all." She smiled making me feel a little better

"Yeah, my mum came over to say hello. She made me come to--"

"What you didn't want to see me?" she pouted out her lip and made puppy eyes

"Now that's now fair." she grinned

"Are you just going to stand in my door way or are you going to come in?" she stood taking my hand and leading me to her bed

"Tell me more about yourself." I suddenly asked taking her by surprise "Where are you from?"

"New York--Manhattan actually." she laid her head against the pillow

"What's it like?" I asked

"It's so alive. Always has a new noise for me to listen to." she smiled like remembering a good memory "The noise scars you at first because it's so different but once you get used to it the noise becomes almost like a panicked rhapsody."

"Oh..."

"That's only at night, the day is full of different looking people and places. I think you'd like it there, Dougie. I know I did..." she lolled her head over in my direction and smiled softly

"I probably would if you were there with me..." I thought "Yeah, it sounds great."

"It was. So tell me about you." she patted the side of the bed using no words to ask if I would lay down with her...in a bed...alone...score!

She scooted over slightly to make room for me and we just talked for hours, finding more things in common. While I laid there I could smell her perfume, and see several colors in her hair That is until I was rudely awakened from my nice holiday.

"Dougie, Mum and I are leaving--"Jazzie opened the door and got the sick satisfaction that she wanted "Comfy?"

I glared at her "why are you so evil?"

"Be nice" warned Music "Hi, I'm Marissa. I'm sure you have your selection of things to call me, by now." Jazzie grinned a little

"Hi I'm Dougie's sister, Jazzie. Can I call you Scarlet?" Music stood up and shook Jazz's hand

"Sure. Doug I guess you gotta go." she looked disappointed but held strong

"Yeah, maybe we could hang out tomorrow after school if you aren't busy anyway..." I asked cautiously after Jazz was out of ear-shot

"I don't know..." she teased "Where else would I be, honestly, Dougie?" She walked with me down the stairs "Well, see ya."

"Bye." It took all my willpower not to look behind me until I got to my steps "ok...now look cool and confident...or try to anyway."

Looking through her windows I saw Music's face for an instant before the curtains were sharply pulled close "I caught her looking! Haha, I knew that article on how to get girls would be helpful..."

I practically sprinted up the stairs. The reason for my hurry you ask? Beats me. I just wanted to go think--yeah, me think, I knew she was special right then and there.


Thanks, sorry this isn't one of my best chaps. RXR
