This could be the one last chance to make you understand
And I just can't let you leave me once again
We ended up walking back to the pizza place to get drinks. The entire walk there, Danny was telling the lamest jokes ever, yet we all laughed to please him... and because he laughed at his own jokes, and his laugh is contagious.
"What does eveyone want?" Fletch asked, still looking beaten. Thea turned and smiled at him.
"The most expensive thing there is." She said, then flipped her hair over her shoulder and spun on her heel, away from him.
"OHHH!" The boys laughed and Danny wrapped his arms around Thea's waist and pulled him into her, giving her a quick kiss.
"I knew there was a good reason i brought you with me." He smiled and she punched his chest.
"Shut up, you wouldnt know what to do if I wasnt here." She said, turning in his arms to face us again. He laughed and leaned his head on her shoulder, and Dougie tensed beside me and looked away from them.
"ANYONE CARE TO ANSWER ME!" Fletch asked, waving his hands around, regaining everyones attention.
"I'll have a Dr. Pepper." Dougie said, quietly. I looked at him oddly, then glanced at Fletch.
"Me too." I said, turning back to Dougie. Everyone else named what they wanted, but I didnt pay attention. I nudged Dougie in the ribs. A small smile broke on his face.
"Stop." He said, quickly hiding the smile with a frown. Then he walked away from me and sat down at a booth, pulling his legs up to his chest. I turned and looked at everyone else and Tom shrugged.
"Hes been like that for a while. I thought he was just going though Luci withdraw." He sighed.
"I think hes realizing that him and Frankie arent getting back together." Harry said, and Kris looked up at him, interested.
"What happened?" She asked. He sighed and looked down at her, over at me, then at Tom. I followed his eyes to Tom, who sighed and nodded.
"Go on, tell them. Doug wont, at least not for a while. Might as well get it over with now." He said. Harry looked over at Dougie, then leaned into me, pulling Kris with him.
"He caught Frankie cheating on him." He said and Kris gasped and pulled away from him.
"I'll beat the shit out of that little skank!" She yelled, and Harry's eyes widened and he covered her mouth.
"I thought that was your job, Luci?" Danny laughed lightly.
"How can you be laughing over that! Its not funny!" I yelled, smacking the back of his head.
"Damnit, the more you people do that, the stupider I get! Stop it already!" He complained "Besides, he was going to dump her anyway. He realized that he didnt love her." He shrugged.
"That doesnt explain that, Dan." I nodded towards Dougie, who was looking anywhere but at us. "I'm going to go talk to him. Haz, if I cant get though, you'll come help, right?" I asked, knowing Harry was his best friend after me. He nodded.
"Yeah, of course. For now, I'll keep an eye on your friend for you." He smiled, wrapping his arm around Kris. She smiled widely and I rolled my eyes.
"Keep those eyes above the neck, Judd." I said, turning towards Dougie.
"Fuck you, Mead!" Harry laughed, and I could picture the blush on both him and Kris right now. Its obvious he likes her already, she'll just deny it becuase she's in awe.
I sat down across from Dougie and sat the same way as him, leaning my head up against the wall. I didnt look over at him, but I could feel him looking at me.
"So, Pugsly, whats eating you?" I asked. He sighed and pushed the back of his head against the wall, but not very hard. I looked over at him, and he was looking up at the cealing.
"Theres a girl I like. And shes really, really amazing." He started, and I felt my heart sink. As much as I wanted to deny it, or as well as I held it back, I couldnt completly ignore the fact that I have loved this boy since before I could walk, when our moms would schedual playdates constantly in order to get away from our dads.
"Whats wrong with that?" I asked, and I think my voice squeeked, but I tried not to show him that this conversation was already breaking my heart.
"She doesnt realize how much I really love her. She knows it to an extent, but doesnt get the full picture. Do you know what I mean?" He asked, looking at me. I smiled slightly and nodded.
"Better than you think, Doug." I sighed. Kinda like how i feel with you..
"And I dont think she'll ever realize that shes the only girl for me. She doesnt see me that way." He sighed and put his head back.
"Maybe you should just..." I contimplated telling him to forget about her, but I realized that wouldnt be fair, so I took a breath. "just tell her, Doug. If she doesnt feel the same way, shes the fool, not you." I sighed, closing my eyes. Dougie didnt say anything, so we sat in the quiet for a while.
"Luci?" He asked after a few minutes. I opened my eyes and looked at him. He smiled at me, slightly. "Thanks. Your always there for me. You dont know how much I appreciate that." He said softly, turning to sit right on the bench and face me. I smiled back at him.
"Of course I do. Because I feel the same way with you. And cuz I love you." I said, then realized what I said. Fuck, fuck, fuck!
"Awww, Luci, I love you too." He laughed and moved out of his seat and over to my bench. He pushed my legs off and wrapped his arms around my shoulder, and I sighed and hugged him back. I wish i could tell you that I love you more than you think.
"Alright, this is sickening." Fletch mumbled from the end of the table and he put down our two glasses of Dr. Pepper.
"What is?" Dougie asked, letting go of me. Fletch raised his eyebrow, then rolled his eyes and turned around.
"Want a piece of pizza?" He asked over his shoulder.
"Yes sir!" Dougie said and Harry and Kris walked over and sat across from us, so Danny, Thea, Tom, and Bianca took the booth behind us, and Jazzie and Carrie each pulled a chair up to the end of the tables and Jazzie sat with us, while Carrie sat with her brother. Fletch came back with pizza for the boys and grabbed his soda.
"I'm going back to the bus. Behave, please." He sighed and left, then Danny burped loudly.
"DANIEL!" Thea scolded and slapped Dannys chest.
"Sorry." He laughed. The rest of the time the boys ate and we talked quietly, then we decided to wander around for a bit.
"What time do you have to be back at the bus by?" Kris asked, from her spot next to Harry. He laughed and wrapped his arm around her. Tom smiled and shook his head at him
"We dont have to laeave until tomorrow." Harry answered. Kris smiled and leaned her head on his chest and I rolled my eyes. I had a feeling theywould happen.
"So your staying over night?" I asked, looking at Dougie. He shrugged.
"I guess. But Fletch has a strict rule about where we sleep..." He trailed off.
"Either eveyone sleeps on the bus, or everyone sleeps off the bus." Tom sighed, shaking his head.
"Then I guess everyones sleeping in one of your dorms." Danny said, smiling.
"Why cant we go sleep on the bus?" Carrie asked. Tom laughed
"Theres hardly enough room for us to sleep on there, let alone four extras." He said. We all sighed and he rolled his eyes. I laughed at him and looked at Dougie, who was texting on his phone. I stopped laughing and frowned. Hes probbaly telling whoever this girl is he loves that he loves her.
I've decided that its time to tell him. I cant let him get away. Not like last time.
