Sorry this is so short :( It's just that I do know where I want this story to go... but I'm having difficulty putting it into words, but it's coming along, slowly.
Don't own McFly
The next day, I was waiting by the buss stop once again to go to school. This time I was happier about it though, since I had friends. Something I wasn't happy about was seeing Mr Jeremy Cole again. He was an inconsiderate ass hole that really shouldn't be a school teacher.
Jordan arrived at the buss stop shortly after I did.
"Hey, mate." he greeted me.
"Hey, you alright?" he looked a bit spaced out.
"Uh, yeah, fine. It's just that I saw something I'd very much like to unsee." Jordan shuddered.
"What?" I frowned.
"Lilly was making out with her boyfriend, aka, my ex-best friend."
"Lilly's going out with your ex-best friend?! Ouch." this was new information.
"Yeah, it's a bit... difficult." Jordan muttered.
Suddenly Kelly popped out of nowhere, and jumped on Jordan's back.
"Argh! You bitch!" Jordan shouted.
"Oh, what have I gotten myself into?" I laughed.
DOUGIE's POV
"DOUGIE!"
"AAHH!" I screamed as Harry jumped from behind the sofa I was sat on and appeared in front of me.
"Don't fucking scare me like that!" I shouted at him, clutching my chest. He didn't pay me attention though, as he was nearly in tears from laughing too much.
"What's going on?" Danny and Tom entered the room, looking alarmed.
"Harry scared me!" I pointed at the laughing man accusingly. Danny and Tom silently exchanged looks and laughed as well. "It's not funny!" I frowned.
"Yes, yes it is, mate." Harry breathed out.
I grumpily crossed my arms across my chest.
"Oh, Doug." they eventually calmed down, "You'd think you were the kid."
I gave them the silent treatment.
"C'mon mate, we have to get back to work." Tom tried to pull me to my feet, but I stayed stubborn.
"The songs won't write themselves, y'know." Danny laughed again.
"You guys are mean, I don't know why I'm friends with you." I sighed and got up.
"Doug, is there something bothering you?" Tom asked, always the observant one.
"No... no, I'm fine." I shrugged.
"Really? Is it about Liam? Is he giving you trouble?" Harry asked.
"No Liam's fine, surprisingly." I said. I had expected him to hate me for not being there. I would've hated me. But I guess he got his mother's freakish sense of understanding.
"What is it then?"
"It's just that... I've missed so much of his life, the most important years of his life. I missed him growing up. I mean, Kay gave me a DVD with his milestones on it... but it's not the same, y'know." I expressed. It really bugged me that I missed out on everything, it's like, I found out I had a kid, but that kid isn't a kid anymore, he's practically an adult. I never got to be a proper dad.
"Oh, Doug!" they all hugged me.
"Dude, Liam understands why you weren't there, and you'll be there for even bigger things, like him going to college, him getting married... you know, his future. And that's what's important now." Tom said.
"Yeah, yeah I know." I sighed, "But still..."
"C'mon, we're gonna write some amazing songs or what?"
LIAM's POV
I arrived home to the sound of girls giggling... that's unusual. I put my school bag down, frowning, and followed the noise to the kitchen. There were two women there with Lara. I froze when I realised I was looking at my grandmother and aunt with Lara. Ah, crap, here comes the awkwardness.
"Liam! You're home. Come and meet your nan and aunt!" Lara smiled at me.
Then it dawned on me. If they lived in my hometown, where everyone knew each other; how the hell didn't they know? Then I remembered Ian saying that Jazzie Poynter, his sister's friend, and turns out my aunt, moved away the same time Dougie did, to somewhere more comfortable... or at least less shitty.
"Oh my God! I have waited for this day! I HAVE A GRANDSON!" my nan attacked me into a hug.
I'm scared.
"Mum! Bloody hell, don't kill him!" Jazzie shouted.
What the fuck is wrong with this side of the family, are they all insane? Ah well, I prefer them to my other grandparents any day.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Liam. I'm just happy!" my nan let go of me, allowing me to breathe.
"It's ok." I said, a little red faced.
"He looks a lot like Doug, doesn't he?" Jazzie failed to whisper to Lara.
"Yeah, that's what I told him when I first saw him." Lara shrugged.
"I'm standing right here, y'know." I said.
"Sorry, I'm your aunt, Jazzie. Don't worry, I won't try to suffocate you, unlike someone." she looked pointedly at her mother.
"Hey, Lar- Oh, no."
"Dougie! Why in God's name, didn't you mention the fact that you have a son to me?!" nan bellowed.
"Uh... so, did you have a good time in Greece?" Dad offered, and then ran.
"Oh, yes son, you better run!"
