A/N: Note that Carrie is supposed to be 14 in the story not 19.
"I think we should bring the band back together." Harry says, smiling at Dougie, Danny and I.
"Oh really? Wow Harry this is perfect!" I say.
The four of us grin and huddle together for a big hug.
...
I hear a screeching in my ear and roll over, hitting the top of my alarm clock, turning it off. I saw it was 10:05.
Why do I keep on having these weird dreams? They feel so real. It felt like McFly were really getting back together. It felt like the best thing on the planet.
I quickly got up and realised that it was Saturday and I was going over to my family's house today. I decided to quickly text Carrie, seeing as my parents don't have any clue about texting.
Me: Hey sis! What time am I coming over 2day? x
I hit send and put my phone down. It was only a matter of seconds before my phone bleeped. I grabbed my phone and read the message.
Carrie: Hey! I just asked mum and she said that she's doing a BBQ so be round at like 11ish? Xxx
I smile and text her back.
Me: Great! See u then! x
I quickly thought that I ought to tell Danny where I was going to be today, just in case he got a bit worried again. I typed in his number and started to text him.
Me: Hey, your probs not awake yet. Just thought I'd let u know that I'm going over to visit family today. Love you. Xoxoxox
I hit send and then walked over to my wardrobe, opening the big white doors. I looked through all my shirts and decided to wear my favourite one, my Back to the Future grey shirt.I pulled it over my head, then jumped into some classic blue jeans and put on my blue converse.
My phone went off again. Smiling, I walked over and read the text. It was, as I suspected, from Danny.
Dan: D-Dawg is awake! Okay have fun! See you tomorrow then! Love you too T-bag ;) Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
I laugh. Trust Danny, he always has to put lots more kisses just to have more than me.
About half an hour later, and I've sorted myself out and had a bite to eat for breakfast.
It's now quarter to 11. I decide to text Carrie to let her know that I'm leaving.
Me: Hey, leaving now x
She quickly texts back straight afterwards. Damn, she must be a very quick texter!
Carrie: Great! Can't wait bro! xxx
I smile and walk out the front door, locking it behind me, and getting into my car. I turn the radio on. They're playing Star Girl on a station, a tear forms in my eye so I decide to turn it over to Absolute Classic Rock. They're playing some old classic by The Beatles that I find quite familiar. I start the engine and set off to my parent's house.
I get there pretty much bang on 11. I park on their drive, and walk up to the door. Pressing the doorbell, I hear Carrie's voice from inside. "I'll get it!" Awrr, she's so sweet!
She quickly opens the door, a huge grin on her face.
"Tom!" she smiles, jumping on me, hugging me tight.
"I've missed you so much!" she cries.
I laugh slightly, finding it rather awkward.
"I've missed you too sis," I smile.
She doesn't look that much different. She's still got her special, curly blonde hair. Something she's lucky is 100% natural. She's wearing her favourite red and white polka dot dress with matching red pumps.
I feel quite weird as I'm just standing here in jeans and a shirt.
She beckons me inside and I look around the familiar hallway. It's actually been quite a while since I came here. It might have been maybe a year? They usually come round my house.
"Mum and dad are in the garden." She smiles.
I follow her out to the garden. It's not a bad day for a BBQ; especially as its November and most of our days lately have been pretty crap. British weather is mental though.
When we reach the garden, it smells like sausages and kebabs. It smells like memories.
My parents are sitting at a little blue table, talking. They look up and smile, looking at me.
"Hey Tom!" My mum smiles brightly, reaching out for a hug and a big kiss, smudging her pink lipstick all over my cheek. I quickly rub my cheek with my sleeve, blushing.
"Hey mum" I smile.
"Tommy! It's been quite a while!" My dad says, cheerfully. I walk over, giving him a hug.
"Yeah, I've been busy and such." I mumble.
"Yes! You must tell us everything!" My mum says, leaning closer towards me.
"Carrie, can you get Tom a drink please?" My dad says, looking at her standing in the doorway.
"Don't worry, I can get it!" I say, walking over.
"Nonsense, sit down son!"
I sit down in a chair, opposite them both. I start to blush harder, looking at my lap. They're staring at me, aren't they? I know they want me to start talking about McFly and Danny and stuff.
"So..." My mum says, breaking the silence but just making it even more awkward.
We sit there for a few minutes, not saying anything. Thank god Carrie quickly comes outside, holding different bottles of drink and glasses.
"Thanks." I smile, taking a glass.
I start to pour myself some lemonade. There were several wines and beers there, but I hated driving after drinking. Even if it was only just one drink.
Carrie settles down next to me, and once everyone has got there drinks, they start to stare at me again.
"So, I guess you want me to talk about McFly, right?" I mumble, stifling a bit of a laugh.
"Only if you feel comfortable with it right now."
"Yeah no it's fine. Well I'm guessing you know about me and Danny?"
"Yeah." My mum whispers, whilst my dad nods.
"How do you feel about that?"
"Whatever makes you happy Tom." She smiles.
"Yeah, I never suspected anything between you two but I guess we're all okay with it. Like your mum said, whatever makes you happy, son." My dad says.
I look over at Carrie and she just smiles at me and gives a little nod. I'm assuming that it just means that she's okay with it too. Well she does have lots of gay friends anyway.
I take a breath, starting again.
"Well thank god you guys are okay with it. Cos there is a person that isn't. And of course that's Harry."
My mum gasps. "I read some stuff about that, but I thought it was all lies!"
"No, it's not. He's very homophobic and he didn't like the idea of two of his band mates being gay. He wrote a letter to Danny and me explaining why he can't be with the band anymore. So he just left. In the middle of tour as well!"
My dad grunts. "What about this letter? Do you still have it?"
I thought that they might want to read it so I decided to keep the letter and bring it along. I reach inside my jacket, pulling it out. I handed it over to my dad whilst my mum read over his shoulder. Carrie got up to read it too but my mum shooed her away, it wasn't really something that we want her reading. She's only 14.
I watch my parents' facial expressions change as they read different parts of Harry's hand written letter. My mum gasps when she finishes reading and she looks at the ground. She waits until my dad finishes reading and then they look at me.
"How could Harry write that? Harry's such a sweet boy, ever since we met him 9 years ago!" my mum says.
"Well... I don't think that he's very sweet anymore." I mutter.
"Mum please can I read it!" Carrie whines.
"Carrie" I say, as I tell her through our eyes that I will let her read it. She nods slightly and looks away.
"So what's happening? Are you just never going to see him again? What about poor Dougie; he and Harry were best friends!"
"Well Doug can see Harry as much as he wants to; he's quite clueless on most of what happened. I'm guessing you've heard that Harry's got a new band, right?"
They both nod simultaneously.
"Well, first of all do you remember my best friend from school, called Jay?"
"Yeah! His mum's such a lovely lady! It's a shame they had to move away!" My mum smiles.
"Well Jay has moved back over here to live in London because he not works as an estate agent."
"Oh my God, really? That's great you guys can hang out like old days!" My mum says.
"Yeah I remember him being a nice little lad." My dad says.
"Well he came and visited me a few days ago and we spent the day together then I slept round his house for the night. Him, Danny and I are seeing Harry's new band tomorrow. They're playing at some place in London."
"Oh, are you sure that's a good idea, honey?" My mum sighed.
"Nahh, don't worry, its fine! I promise!"
"Okay, just stay safe Thomas."
I rolled my eyes. "Mother honestly, I'm almost 27!"
"I know! But I don't want you to get in any trouble."
"I won't!" I laugh.
...
Later after we were all stuffed with as much meat as possible. I liked the kebabs the most; they've always been my favourite.
"Hey Carrie, why don't you go and get your guitar and we can have a little sing-song." I smile.
She beams at me and quickly rushes upstairs to get her guitar.
"Are we telling Carrie about any of this?" My dad asks, suspiciously.
"I don't see why not. She's 14, I think she's old enough. It's not really bad anyway..." I say.
In a matter of seconds, she was back down again, clutching her chocolate – brown guitar.
...
Most of the afternoon was spent of Carrie and I doing a mini concert for our parents, playing some old classics and some new ones. I avoided playing anything McFly.
It was around 8pm when I looked outside and saw it very dark.
I frowned then looked at my family, happily watching TV.
"I think I should be off now guys." I say, quietly.
"Aww do you really have to go?" Carrie says, sweetly.
I smile at her, then put my arm around her neck.
"Yeah stay, Tom." My dad says.
"Sorry, but I need some energy for tomorrow." I laugh.
"Could you take me to my horse riding lesson tomorrow morning?" She says.
"Can't you get the bus?" I laugh.
"It takes ages to get there on the bus, and mum and dad are visiting Auntie Pauline tomorrow."
My mind couldn't even remember if I had an Auntie Pauline.
I sigh. "Okay! Fine! Depends what time though."
"It starts at 11, so about 10:30?" She says.
"Alright." I say, getting up. "Try and remind me tomorrow morning."
She nods and I go round giving everyone a hug and a kiss.
"See you soon!" I smile, walking out to the hall and out the door.
A breeze suddenly hits my face. It's very cold out, well I guess it is November. I walk over to my car and get inside. I quickly turn the heat up and turn the radio on to stop me feeling like I'm in a scary movie.
I arrive home safely and flop down on my bed. It's only 8:30pm but I'm quite very tired.
I get undressed, and lie in bed. I decide I should just maybe check my texts before I go to sleep. I see I have a message from a number I didn't recognise. I started to read it.
Unknown Number: Hey you gave me your number, but I never gave you mine. So here it is. Can't wait for tomorrow! - Jay
I smile and add his number to my phone before texting back.
Me: Hey! Gonna be cool 2morrow! Can't wait for you to meet Danny
I press send and close my eyes slightly.
I receive a new text a little while after.
Jay: Yeah he seems cool! Well you probably think I'm sad but I'm going to sleep now! Lol it's not even 9pm!
I smile reading his text and text back.
Me: Your not on your own, I'm lying in bed now! Exhausted, been round with my family for the day. Played a mini concert with my sister and my throat is killing me! Lol ;(
He text me back shortly afterwards.
Jay: Aww hope you feel better! And glad I'm glad I'm not on my own! Haha Well goodnight mate
I accidently drop my phone and hit myself in the face after reading the text.
"God, why do I always do that? Man, iPhones hurt your face!" I say to myself.
After rubbing my nose, I start to slowly text Jay back.
Me: Thank you! And goodnight
I put my phone down, guessing that he won't text back anymore. I thought of texting Danny but I was so tired, I just fell asleep, thinking about the next day ahead.
