Danny POV

It was really weird waking up to see the guys right at my bed. But it was also really mean and disrespectful of them to do this to me. Tell me they want to make things right again and when I believe them they'll probably burst out in laughter because it's a joke or something. They're not getting me this time, no, not this time..

A knocking sound broke me out of my thoughts. The door opened and I was surprised to see it was Dougie.

'Hey' he said 'I have to talk to you'

'Alright' I said careful

'Listen, we're not mocking you. We seriously are sorry about everything. From the moment you walked out of that door I missed you. We looked for you everywhere but you were nowhere to be found. And then we received the call that you were in hospital and in critical condition. We were so scared, scared that maybe you would leave this world without knowing that we are sorry. I know we were unforgivable in our attitude with you but you really have to believe us!'

I looked him in the eyes while he told me that. They were becoming more and more moist with every word he said. I could see he was genuine.

'Tom is sorry too?' I asked expecting a negative answer

'yes he is! He's so sorry. We all wish we could turn back time and prevented it all from happening' he said desperate.

Wishing to turn back time hu? That sounds familiar, I used to wish it every night. I used to wish I never met them. Then I wouldn't have the best thing in my life but then the worst thing in my life wouldn't happen either. And it's better to not have it at all than to lose it.

'What happened to you?' Dougie asked interrupting my thoughts.

'After I left, I went to the pub to have a drink. But I had a few too much and ended up in someone back yard. When they found me they offered me food and stuff. Then I left again to go to a motel. I stayed there for about a week I think. Didn't go outside much.. Then I decided to go visit my sister in Bolton but I got robbed. They took everything, I had nothing left. So I walked by day and slept at night whenever I found some nice place to sleep. I didn't get far because there was this little boy I found wondering around all alone. Apparently he ran away from home. I stayed with him and looked after him. I gave him my food and water, my shelter and my warm clothes. After a week or two he realized he was way better off at home so he asked me to bring him back and I did. But after I brought him home, a car suddenly appeared out of nowhere and ran me over.' I paused to look at Dougie 'That's all I remember' I added raising my shoulder.

Dougie was a little shocked by my story, I could tell by the look in his eyes.

'I can't believe what you had to go through mate but we're so glad to have you back! We really are. And I promise from the bottom of my heart I will never do something like that to you EVER again.'

'Do you believe me?' he asked me whispering when I stayed silent.

I looked him straight into his eyes but didn't answer right away. I saw the uncertainty take over his entire face.

'Yeah' I said eventually 'Yeah, I believe you' and smiled at him. He began to grin so wide and tears of happiness began to roll down his face when he suddenly hugged me tight. I was a little surprised by this but I hugged him back.

'I'm sorry I ran away' I said to his shoulder.

'Please, do not apologize' he said half laughing 'oh my god, I have to tell the guys!' he said exited and left in a hurry. I laughed at him. It was good to have him back. I think, no, I sincerely believe that things might actually go back to the old days.

Tom, Harry and Dougie came running in and jumped on my bed to hug tight. God I've missed them so much! I don't know how I survived without them the last couple of weeks. Well.. I almost didn't but that's all in the past now!

'I promise to never be so mean again!' Tom said whilst hugging me firmly.

'And I promise to never leave you again' I said smiling.


That's all folks!
