Chapter three:

Harry's pov

We arrived in the kitchen, A knife was on the floor, it was stained with blood. Lauren still in shock was found in the corner, she looked helpless like a lost puppy. A pool of blood surrounded her as she was gripping tight of her hand. Danny sprinted to her. ''Shit! We need to get to the hospital now.'' I dove towards the sink to get a towel and wrapped her hand up a bit. ''Shh baby it'll be alright.'' Danny whispered in her ear. Lauren looked at him, Her eyes were big and full of tears, She placed her head on his shoulder as he held her. Tom grabbed his keys from the counter and said "Come on lets not waste time, get in the car. Im driving." Danny carefully helped Lauren up and went towards the door with Tom following close behind. The engine started and they were gone. It was silent for a while, we were all still alarmed. I turned around ''I think we should clean this up.'' I suggested. Dougie shrugged his shoulders and got on his knees as I handed him a towel, Katie sat next to him and helped him while I cleaned the counter. There was knocking at the door. ''Seems like we are popular today.'' I said. I opened the door. "Hey CJ" I said. ''Hi Harry.'' She hugged me and asked. ''Where is Tom, his car isnt here?'' ''He is at the hospital with Lauren and Danny, Lauren accidently cut herself badly while she was cooking.'' We walked into the kitchen. ''Oh god poor Lauren.'' She yelled out when she saw the bloody mess. ''Hi I'm CJ, Toms girlfriend.'' She introduced herself to Dougie. ''Hi I'm Dougie, I'd give you a hug but it's kind of bloody here.'' He laughed. ''Fancy to help clean up?'' I asked her. She nodded and grabbed a towel, when it was all cleaned up and kind of neat we walked back to the living room.

''Well I guess I'll go'' Katie said getting up and looking at the clock. ''Really?'' Dougie shot out. ''Yeah my parents will wonder where Im at.''She replied. ''I'll see you later!''She continued. ''Wait, I'll walk you home.'' Dougie got up and followed her. ''I think he likes her.'' CJ whispered when he left. ''I'm having the same feeling.'' I replied back. ''So anyway. How long have you and Tom been together?'' I asked not really knowing what to talk about. ''About a year now, before that we also dated, but it was more an on and off relationship really. And what about you and Elina?'' I guess I should have expected that question. ''3 years, she was an exchange student from Belgium, and we were her care takers, if you can call it that. And well yeah now we've been together for 3 years.'' CJ smiled. ''That's so cute but isn't a program like that only suppose to last for one year?'' I nodded. ''Yeah well I guess I was worth staying.'' I smiled. ''That's so adorable, I'm sorry I'm a hopeless romantic.'' Dougie walked back in and sat back in the same position, ''Did you know that Katie likes lizards?'' he asked. Both me and CJ laughed. ''No, we didn't'. The silence came back, it was an awkward and weird silence. ''I hope things are not too bad with Lauren'' CJ tried starting a conversation again. ''I'll call Tom.'' I smiled. I picked up my phone and dialed Tom. ''Yeah?'' Tom asked. ''hay mate. How's Lauren?'' I asked him back. ''She's okay, just some stitches that's all, but I need to hang up some nurses are looking at me like they are going to kill me.'' He said. ''Okay then, bye.'' I said and hung up the phone. ''Whats wrong with her?'' CJ asked nervously. ''He says that she is okay, and that she only needed some stitches.'' I smiled. ''Good.'' Dougie sighted.

We decided to go outside to cool down and get some fresh air. ''Hi guys!'' Katie asked from her side of the garden. She looked over at Dougie and smiled. Dougie found himself smiling back and not just a simple every day smile, the kind that made his face hurt. He couldn't stop smiling. It was like his world opened up by seeing her. ''Mind if I join?'' she asked. ''No- not at all.'' Dougie stuttered. ''Are you going somewhere?'' I asked since she was dressed nicely and her makeup was done perfectly. ''Some family reunion'' she replied. Dougie was still smiling with a smile up to his ears. ''You look beautiful.'' He said awkwardly. ''Thank you.'' She blushed. CJ and I looked at each other knowing how cute they were. ''I'm going to get some drinks, fancy helping?'' CJ asked me with a wink. I nodded and followed her back inside. ''I can't believe Dougie, he's fast.'' I whispered. ''Not yet he can hear us.'' She pushed me in my ribs. I stumbled a little, but caught my balance. I turned around and laughed. ''I don't think he is listening to us.'' She turned around. ''They're absolutely adorable.'' She glanced out. She saw Dougie doing the good old hand behind the head, lip licking, I like you move. ''Do you think that Katie is picking up the clues?'' CJ asked me. ''I don't know, you're the girl.'' I replied actually getting the drinks. ''I hope so.'' She sighed. ''Wow, you really are a hopeless romantic.'' I laughed. ''Don't laugh at me!'' she giggled. My phone started ringing. ''It's my girlfriend, got to go!'' I laughed and handed her the drinks.

''Hallo love.'' I smiled. ''Hallo stud.'' I walked into my room and sat on my bed. ''Do you have time for me right now?'' She asked. ''For you? Always.'' I smiled. ''Good.'' She sighed. ''What's wrong? You're not you?'' I asked, she never reacted like that on anything I ever said. ''Nothing.'' She replied, I sighed. ''Yes there is something. what is it? Honey tell me.'' She was quiet for a while. ''its just, when do I get to see you again, soon the band starts and you'll do tours and then there is the distance between you and me, I cant be away from you again, I cant have that happen'' She cried out. ''We'll work it out, we always do. And always will, it's you and me baby. I promise'' I couldn't speak the word she wanted to hear but I hope it was enough. ''But how?'' she asked again. ''You're out of school, you can do what you want.'' I replied. ''I promised my parents that I'd go to college.'' I sighted. ''we'll figure it out when you come back.'' I replied. ''okay but I need to go, I love you.'' ''ditto.'' I replied. ''I thought you'd say that.'' I hung up, and tossed my phone on the pillow, I smiled and let myself fall back onto the bed. We were both lonely and needed each other, but Somehow the word 'forever' never seemed to come out of my mouth.
