Harry's POV:

I was woken up in the early hours of the next morning by Dougie gently shaking my arm.

'Are you okay Dougs?' I whispered, not wanting to wake the two sleeping occupants of the room.

'I-I've done it again.' He said and I could hear that he was on the verge if crying.

'What have you done Dougie?'

'I-I had a n-nightmare a-and I've w-wet the bed. B-but I d-don't want to w-wake D-Danny because I w-woke h-him l-last night.'

'Oh it's okay Dougie. What does Danny normally do? Does he run you a bath?'

'Y-yeah..'

'Come on then. I'll give you a bath instead.' I smiled, taking his hand and walking through to Danny's bathroom with him. I ran him the bath and he got undressed and hopped into it quickly. We sat in silence for a few minutes and it was nice to see him staring down at the bubbles in the bath, he looked so carefree and relaxed, like he didn't have a single worry. I helped him up out of the bath after about 15 minutes and wrapped him in a towel before carrying him back to Danny's room. I sat him down on a chair in the bedroom as I picked up Danny in my arms and lay him in Dougie's bed. When he was in there, I took the current sheets off Danny's bed and swapped them for clean ones. I went over to the chair to tell Dougie that it was ready, only to find out that he had fallen asleep there already. I scooped him up in my arms and lay him in the bed before climbing in next to him and pulling him tight against me.


The next morning I woke up to Dougie's face pressed hard into my chest, covering my shirt in tears.

'Hey hey.. Dougie what's the matter? Why are you crying?'

'I'm not safe! He's going to come back!'

'Dougie, I told you, Danny would never let anybody hurt you.'

'I-I know. But Danny isn't here!' he said, sounding terrified, pointing towards the smaller bed where only Tom was lying. I looked around and Danny wasn't anywhere to be seen in the room. Dougie was so frightened! He was bawling his eyes out and fisting the back of my shirt tightly.

'What if he's being hurt Harry? What if the man came after me and Danny tried to stop him and he took Danny instead? What if he's left, what if he doesn't want to look after me anymore and he's run away? What is he's gone out and my dads found him and killed him? What I-'

'Dougie, you've got to calm down or we'll never know. He'll probably come back in a second.' I said and, almost on cue, Danny walked through the bedroom door, tying the tassels on his pyjama bottoms.

'Danny!' Dougie squealed before jumping up of my knee and running to hug Danny.

'Hey, what's the matter?'

'I thought that you'd been taken or that you'd gotten tired of me and left.'

'Of course not Dougie. I will never let you be alone again.' He promised before both him and Dougie got into the small bed beside me and we all drifted off to sleep once again.
