DANNY POV

Its six in the evening and for most of the day I have been keeping myself busy by doing some chores and now I need some food ,I go into my kitchen and check the cupboards and fridge to see what I have or rather don't as the case sometimes is.I curse as I see that tomorrow I will need to do my shopping but I'll do it online as it will save me from having to go off I go into the lounge to pick out a film to watch ,I have no plans made and I'm not too sure I want to.I don't want to bump into Dougie I am really livid with him,he breaks up with Tom in Paris,because of some rows that were caused by things that tom can't control,he didn't just wake up one morning and feel depressed and I know that Dougie wants Tom to get help which I understand but if Tom isn't ready to he doesn't need to be pressured ,one step at a time,dougie has been in love with tom since they first met and he gave up on him,he told me that he wants nothing to do with Tom anymore but the moment he heard about the suicide attempt he has the nerve to show up and they kissed ,what the hell was that stupid young lad thinking ,building Tom's hopes up then again I haven't spoken to either of them since Tom was sent home,I think that was a bad idea but then again I am not the about to press play when I hear a knocking at my front door ,curious and reluctant I make my way there and slowly unlock it and I see that its Harry.
"Hey Dan"
"Hi"
"Grab your wallet,your coming on a night out with me"
" I really appreciate that but I'm not really up for it"
"I think you need to relax,I think you need to stop worrying and its only me and you ,Dougie and Tom are talking things through"
"Good for them,I'll be back in a minute"I snapped and went inside and grabbed my wallet got my jacket on and got my house keys to lock up and soon we were on our way to our local The Lion.
"We can't interfere Dan"
"Dougie needs to"
"Lets not talk about it okay,just not for now okay"
"Okay I'm sorry"
"Don't be you have the right to be upset with Dougie,I am too but right now its time for us to take our minds off things."
"Can I",I was going to suggest I invite Hannah but the thing is Harry has made it very clear he disapproves of our relationship ,I know its kinda of wrong for me to be with her,as she does have a boyfriend who hasn't been very supportive of her ,and she might be using me as a way to get back at him and if this Steve finds out we're together I don't know how he would react but there is a problem I have fallen in love with her.
"What were you going to ask me?",he knows something is amiss
"If I could invite a couple of other mates along,we haven't seen Ant or Fred for ages"I lied and I hope he believes me
"Yeah sure not a problem",sweet he has bought it
So I take out my phone and text Ant and Fred ,it will be good to see our mates so its good that they might be joining us.I walk up to the bar and order a pint of Fosters then make my way towards the table where Harry has chosen.

A hour later
Me,Harry,Ant and Fred are now at pub number 2 and I now feel conscious as I feel a pair of arms around my waist so I turn "Hannah,what are you doing here?"I exclaim ,am so happy she is here but if Harry's see's her he will flip.
"I'm having a night out with some friends,this is my local I thought you knew that",sorry for forgetting one tiny bit of information my minds been elsewhere.
"I've missed you"
We then embrace in a hug and I kiss her gently on the lips "I missed you too but you know its risky us being together"
"i'd better get back to my friends"
"Yeah,see you later then",she sounds upset but as she said its risky and we will probably see each other soon anyway.
I was walking back to the group when I felt a hand on my shoulder so I turn round and there is this random guy "Hi"I start to say but he grabs me by the collar and pins me up against the wall,then punches me,gee who is this guy?! "I'm Steve,Hannah's boyfriend",oh crap,how did he find out,did she tell him and why didn't she warn me?
"Oh"
"I just saw you kissing her so I'm going to offer you a choice,keep away from Hannah or I tell the press about your sordid relationship understand"
"Clearly",I'll ring her and end it tomorrow but won't tell her the real reason why
"If I see you anywhere near her again you'll get worse than a punch and a secret reveal,I'll put you in hospital"
"Don't worry I'll break up with her"
"No you won't,you will avoid her calls and her texts and she will end it because she thinks your not interested OK"
"Okay fine whatever"
"Oh and get that nosebleed sorted"
"Will do",I go into the gents to get some tissue and start sorting it "Who was that?"Harry demanded,I didn't know he had followed me.

HARRY POV

I thought a night out would be a good idea for me and Danny to relax,to get off minds off recent events,no drama or anything,no personal chats but I just saw some random guy punch him in the face and I want to know who and why.
"Well?"
Danny just stares down "It was Steve"
"Hannah's boyfriend,she told him about you"
"No,he saw us together"
"When?"
"Just now"
"You Idiot"
"I didn't invite her and I didn't deserve to be punched in the face"
"Have you got any idea how serious this is or are you really that stupid"
"Can we talk at home,anyone could overhear this conversation?"
I sigh knowing that he has a point about that,for all we know a journalist is near by,I hope one didn't see Steve punch Danny its the last thing any of us need,Tom and Fletch will definitely be very angry with Danny ,just what was he thinking getting involved with a lass who happens to be in a relationship with someone,its risky and I'm pretty certain things will only get worse.I have to get him to break up with her or come up with a plan for her to end it,Danny is a good mate I just wish he had a bit more common sense and I know its partly Hannah's fault too.I order a taxi whilst Danny gets himself cleaned up.
It takes ten minutes for the taxi to arrive and we sit in silence for the journey,what I want to say isn't very important ,the driver could easily go to the press and blab .When we arrive at my flat I quickly pay the driver and give him a tip"Thanks"he mumbled,what a ungrateful bastard.I then get out and quickly unlock the door pushing Danny inside "Ouch"he yelped
"Oh stop complaining you bloody woman"I snapped ,he shot me a dirty look and reluctantly sat on the sofa,I know maybe I was a little harsh and that he wants to be back in his bed but right now we need a chat.
"There's no need for me to be here"my friend tells me
"Your not going anyway until you answer some questions,firstly what did Steve tell you?"
"He asked me to stay away from his girlfriend or he would go to the press and said that I have to avoid her and she will end things with me and will never see me and if he see's me near her ever again I will be put in hospital"
"I warned you didn't I,getting involved with her was a mistake"
"Don't you think I know that I just couldn't help myself ,I've fallen for her Harry"
"Are you joking you have known her for a week"
"So?!"
"It takes longer than that to fall in love"
"Dougie fell in love with Tom instantly I don't hear you complaining"
"That's right cos it took them ages to get together,they were friends first and currently talking about their relationship,and oh yeah most important dougie nor tom is involved with someone who could destroy their career,just because this Steve has said to end things with Hannah doesn't actually mean he won't go to the press,and he probably won't see you again to be able to attack you"
"I need your support mate"
"I will always support but I can't always agree with your choices,I am only saying all these things to try and help you I don't want to see you get hurt again",I'm being harsh I know but Danny is one of my closest friends ,and right now I can't see the situation he is in getting any sounds like a dangerous man he has threatened ,gotten violence and as good as said he could kill so unless Hannah breaks up with him Danny and her aren't meant to now I think me and Danny could really use some sleep and we shall go out on a different night ,maybe not at that second pub we went to.
"Well,I'm going back to my house to sleep"
"No your not,you can sleep here tonight you will be a lot safer"
"Are you sure?"
"Definitely"
"Okay thank you I really appreciate it"
"That's what friends are for,would you like a coffee?"
"Yes please"
"Coming right up"
I think that we should put the incident behind us and move on,no need to talk about it,I just hope my suspicions will be proved wrong.

DOUGIE POV

I know what your thinking but you know what a person can change their minds,when I found out about Tom's suicide attempt I was heartbroken ,partly because I know it was my fault and also because I realized in that moment just how much I love him and how much it would suck if he wasn't kiss was not a mistake but breaking up with him was ,I can't get the image of him crying out of my mind,he really needs me and I had basically given up and was willing to cut him out of my life.I have been in love with Tom for ages and just because we had some rows and there were doubts does not excuse my behavior. I understand now that Depression and a eating disorder isn't something that he had just woken up with and that it is going to take time for him to get help,so if right now he isn't ready to get counselling or whatever he needs I need to respect that,all i want is for Tom to talk to me,to let me in,that's what I was struggling to comprehend ,we are in a relationship and trust needs to be a part of that.
I take hold of Tom's hands in mine "Before you say anything to me let me speak first"
"Okay"
"I am so so sorry for leaving you it was selfish,it was wrong and the biggest mistake of my life,if I could take it back I would. I tried forcing you to deal with your problems straight away because of course I want you to be happy and I thought maybe I drove you into self harming but I now know that was wrong,I didn't really give you the chance to your not ready to talk to someone or to take any medication ,all I want from you is to talk to me,to let me in ,because trust is very important to me,without that this relationship can't work.I love so very much but that isn't going to be enough for us and when we were on our break, I felt like you didn't understand is our last chance to be together and I want us to try harder to make it work so what do you say?"
"I know you sorry and you blame yourself for me being hospital but when I made that decision I wasn't thinking straight ,I was a mess and maybe it was too soon for me to be let out,I don't know . One thing I do know is that when you kissed me I started to feel a bit better so of course I want more than anything for you and me to be together. I need to say sorry to you as well firstly for keeping you in the dark about my eating disorder and my depression,also for snapping at you every time you tried to help but you are right I'm not ready to see a doctor or a councilor,but I can promise you that I will confide in you whenever I need to,I will also control my temper,when I grabbed hold of that girl's wrist I realized it was wrong but I didn't think that I had hurt her that badly"
"I've missed you so much"
"I missed you too"
"How about we strip off and get to bed and enjoy naked cuddles while we fall asleep"
"Sounds good"
I kiss Tom gently on the lips and we head into my bedroom and quickly get our clothes off then get into bed ,I pull the covers over us both "Can I get cuddles first?"Tom asks me ever so sweetly
"Of course"I say back
"Thank you"
"I will do anything that you ask of me okay"
"Goodnight sweetheart I love you"
"Goodnight my love and I love you too",this feels so right and I feel so connected to Tom right now for the first time in a few days,I have a very good feeling about us from now on.

The next morning

Tom and I had some pancakes and a glass of juice then decided to go to the local shop to grab the latest newspaper and I almost chocked when I saw what the headline was ,it appears that a certain Danny Jones has got involved with the wrong woman and its all over the newspapers and probably on the television ,I choose not to pay for this particular newspaper and so I opt to buy something else but then I realize that Tom has ran out of the shop,he is probably going to see our idiotic friend ,I have a very bad feeling about this.I just smile at the confused shop keeper and hurry off to find Tom.I can hear someone being sick ,so I follow the sounds to discover that its my boyfriend.
"Oh baby"I say softly and rub my hands on his back to soothe him until I am sure that he is done "We should get some water yeah?"I ask
"Sure and then I want to see what Danny has to say for himself",so we head back into the shop and I grab the nearest water bottle and quickly pay for it,and its pretty obvious the shop assistant wants to ask questions but I am in no mood to answer it.
"Okay",its best that we both go ,maybe Tom will be calm but I doubt that although I don't blame him in the slightest for being upset .We get into a taxi and give the taxi driver Harry's address as for some reason I have a feeling that's where Danny really is.
"Hurry yeah"Tom insists to the driver
"I can't go too fast ,I can't get points on my licence and risk losing my job"
"I understand but we're looking for someone"
"I'll speed up a little then but that's all I can do and it looks like traffic is good this morning"
"Good"
"Is it Danny you want to talk to?"
"What business is it of yours?"Tom snapped
"I'm sorry I just figured it was either Danny or Harry because your band mates,I haven't seen any newspapers or magazines so far today"
"That's okay,Tom isn't a morning person",I saw tom look at me funny
"Ah"

Five minutes go by in silence til we reach our destination and I press the buzzer "Come in"I hear a exasperated Harry say so Tom of course storms in "Where is he then?"
"In the bathroom he will be a couple of minutes but please go easy on him"
"Why the fuck should I?He has got himself into trouble for getting involved with the wrong person ,so sorry for not jumping through hoops and when did you find out?"
"About a week ago"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You were in Paris at the time,bit bloody hard"
"You need to calm down love"I say to Tom
"Don't tell me how to act Dougie",great the rest of the day is going to be very swell
"Morning Tom,Dougie"Danny says a moment later once we realize he has come into the kitchen
"Well,well look what the cat dragged in?What have you got to say for yourself?"
"I'm sorry Steve went to the press anyway despite me listening to what he said, after punching me and threatening to put me in hospital,that man is dangerous and I don't regret meeting Hannah by the way"
"Oh is that what the slag is called?"
"Don't call her a slag,he was being supportive of her lately"
"Oh so that makes it all okay,you knew it was a risk,how long did you think you could keep it up and how the hell did this steve find out about you too"
"He saw us kissing,none of us knew he was there"
"How do you know she didn't though,you barely know her"
"I know her enough,I'm in love her but its over between us I will never see her again at least not for the time being"
"Damn right your not seeing her,she is still with him Danny,she will know about the punch,I think she was using you,your better off without her"
"You don't know anything about me and her ,why the bloody hell are you and Dougie back together?"
Tom did not answer that he went into the bathroom slamming the door behind him and locking it which could mean he is being sick again or self harming
"Nice going Danny ,he is probably hurting right now"I tell him
"Oh god I forgot"
"Of course you did,you have other issues to deal with",and I knock on the bathroom door "Hey babe,please come out soon yeah I want to give you a hug"
"I'll be out in a couple ,I just need to calm down okay"
"Okay,see you soon then",I really hope so as well.
