They had the weekend off and the boys were enjoying the last free morning before they went and completed the rest of the tour. They were playing in Wembley so they were going to drive over there for soundcheck and just crash in a hotel tonight. Claire and Amy disappeared earlier saying something about being busy but Dougie knew they were away with Tom's credit card. Danny was still in bed and Dougie was bored. He hit call and listened to the dial tone and the ringer until he heard her voice.
"Hello." She coaked.
"Mags?" Dougie asked concerned. He sat down on the step and pressed the phone to his ear. He hadn't seen much of Maggie over the weekend. As far as he knew she was staying at Elle's flat.
"Yea. It's me." She replied quietly.
"What's wrong?" Dougie asked his worry coming through in his tone.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter." Maggie said clearing her throat.
"Megan" Dougie sighed. Her reluctance to tell him things was starting to really annoy him.
There was a pause and she breathed down the line at him.
"Come over." She whispered. Dougie was met with the dial tone and he stood up and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey I'm away to collect Mags." He told Tom and Harry. They nodded up at him.
"Don't be late for the soundcheck." Tom warned. Dougie nodded and grabbed his keys off the table.
"What do you mean?" Dougie asked, she merely looked up at him before she started to cry.
"He cheated on me." Elle spluttered raising her hand and pulled at her sleeve to wipe her eyes.
"What?" Dougie asked pushing her hands away from her face so he could see her eyes.
"Har-Harry told Amy who who told me." Elle sobbed. Dougie had suddenly went pale. He looked round at the door where Maggie was standing just as pale. Dougie looked round at her sister and tried to breath normally.
"When?" Dougie asked through gritted teeth.
"C-c-c-cardiff." Elle spat out eventually. Dougie seethed. He stood up and started to pace.
"Doug" Maggie said racing forward to him.
"Did you know?" Dougie asked her. Maggie shook her head furiously.
"Sure we were together that night." She cried. "Then the next morning Dan didn't come to breakfast. Well either did you."
"Harry and Dan were acting all weird." Dougie said, realisation covering his face. He looked down at Maggie. Tears threatening to leave her eyes and then over to a sobbing Elle on the bed. "I'm gonna kill him. I was there. Why didn't I fucking realise myself? Uggh"
Dougie left the room. Elle started to cry more and Maggie ran after him.
"Dougie. You can't"
"Maggie." Dougie shouted as she stepped infront of the car door.
"What? It's not like Elle's your girlfriend" Maggie snapped. "I'm tired of you two always fucking flirting and messing around. You act like you're made for each other. No wonder Danny got pissed off."
Dougie glared at her. "I'm aware that she isn't my girlfriend. And I thought maybe you would have alittle more sympathy for your sister than siding with Danny. Danny's like my brother and Elle is a close mate. We arn't flirting we're having fun and neither of us fancy eachother." Dougie snapped pulling his keys from his pocket. His eyes never leaving Maggies. They were so full of passion. "I don't fancy her." He said softly. Maggie looked at him. Suddenly his expression changed as he stepped forward. "I fancy her sister." Maggie was aware of his lips on hers. She leant into the kiss and Dougie wrapped his arms around her lifting her slightly. He let go and pushed his keys into the door of his car.
"Dougie." Maggie snapped realising he had lifted her out of the way. He got into his car and shut the door. "Don't"
Dougie looked at her. "Everytime I look at Elle I see some of you. As far as I'm concerned if I ever cheated on someone I love then I would hope someone would come kick my shit in. I would fucking deserve it. It just looks like you're crying in there."
Maggie sighed. Her heart was breaking at how sweet Dougie was.
"Well can I atleast come with you?" Maggie asked. Dougie dropped his head.
"Get in." He sighed. Maggie smiled and ran round the other side of the car and got in the passenger seat.
Dougie had calmed down by the time they'd got to Wembley. Maggie glanced at her phone and sighed. Dougie had nearly missed soundcheck and she knew Tom wouldn't be happy. Dougie was ahead of her and they entered the arena. Maggie gasped slightly at the size of the empty huge room. She had been there years ago but it was enormous empty.
"Where were you?" Tom asked striding towards him. Dougie stared at him. Maggie catching up with them. Dougie hadn't stopped but had slowed down. "I told you not to be late." Tom said, he was trying to appear angry and glaring at Dougie. "Will you fucking stop walking."
Dougie stopped and looked at Tom.
"What?" He asked. Tom stared at him slightly shocked. Dougie was level with him and was getting more and more frustrated.
"Doug." Harry yelled running off stage and over to them, grabbing him in a head lock.
"Harry don't" Maggie warned. Dougie shook his off and stared at him. Harry stepped back holding his hands up in a surrender type way.
"Where's Danny?" Dougie asked quietly through clenched teeth.
"Backstage." Harry pointed up to the stage.
Dougie nodded and walked off.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked. Tom sighed and walked off the opposite direction and Maggie shook her head. "Does Doug know?"
Maggie looked at him.
"I take that as a yes." Harry muttered running after Dougie.
"Harry." Maggie yelled running after him. Tom at her tail.
"Right." Fletch yelled. "This is a soundcheck not a fucking race track. Harry Tom get on stage. Dougie get back here. DANNY"
Maggie cringed as Fletch shouted into the microphone. She had to clutch to the chair so she didn't start running at Danny as he walked over to his mic. Dougie glared at him and tried to concentrate on soundchecking but his heart wasn't in it. Everytime he took his eyes off Maggie he would be more drawn to Danny. Wanting to pound the living daylights out of him.
Amy hugged her friend tightly. "Come on Elle. It'll be fine. You'll be fine babe."
Elle shook her head and pulled away.
"Amy I am not going." Elle sniffed.
"But we were going to go months ago. Elle I queued for these tickets." Amy snapped.
"Amy your fucking fucking Harry. You don't need the tickets." Elle yelled at her.
"I wanna go to the concert and fucking sit in these seats. I'm not gonna let you ruin my night but I want to go with you. Claire and Maggie are already backstage now suck up your courage and go get dressed." Amy yelled at her. Elle glared at her and stormed off to her bedroom.
Danny struggled to contain his excitment. He was jiggling his knee on the floor and his other foot was tapping. Tom glanced over at him.
"Will you stop it?" He asked. "It's making me nervous"
Danny grinned at him and took another swig of beer. Harry was slumped on the sofa opposite him.
"What's up Haz?" Danny asked him.
"Amy's not here." He moaned.
Danny rolled his eyes and glanced at Tom.
"I don't see why she's out there, like a fan." Harry muttered.
"Stop it." Tom said sternly. "Our fans are still important."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Still."
"Because." Claire said straightening up in her seat beside Tom. "She bought the tickets before meeting you guys and she wants to use them. Feel like a fan again, not your sex slave."
"Oi" Harry said holding his chest in mock anger. Claire giggled into Tom's chest who was rolling his eyes but found the rest of the group laughing. He looked round and then back at Danny.
"Where's Doug?" Tom asked. Danny stopped laughing and looked away uncomfortably.
"Dunno." Danny shrugged unconvincingly.
"I last saw him earlier." Harry commented. "Looking for you Dan just after the soundcheck."
Everyone looked at him. Danny fidgeted with his zip and shrugged.
"Didn't say where he was going." Danny muttered. Tom looked up at Harry who was still staring at Danny. Almost trying to glare it out of him. There was a knock at the door and then it opened.
"5 minutes guys. Let's go." Their tour manager shouted at them and then disappeared again. Tom stood up pulling Claire with him. She leaned into him and kissed him passionatly.
"Good luck." She whispered into his ear. "But you'll not need it."
Tom grinned at her and Harry shouted at him.
"Stop grinning like an idiot and come on. You're making me jealous."
Danny nearly coughed the last gulp of beer he was drinking as he laughed.
"Haz you're so whipped." Danny sang as he walked out of the room. Tom, Claire and Harry followed. Harry hitting round the head. "Oi you idiot."
Claire sighed and cuddled into Tom more, they stopped by the side of the stage and where the guys were supposed to go on stage.
"It's too loud." Claire shouted at him. "I'll go back."
Tom nodded at her and she kissed him one last time before she walked off. Tom watched her go smiling. Maggie and Dougie came round the corner. Maggie said something to Dougie and he nodded. She reached up and hugged him tight. He kissed her cheek and walked over to where the others were standing. Danny glancing at him subtly and then back at the black of the stage.
"Sorry about earlier." Dougie said to Tom. Tom nodded and clapped him round the shoulder.
"Let's go guys." Tom said to them. Tom and Harry walked on to the stage. Dougie tried to brush past Danny but he stopped him.
"Let me past." Dougie muttered to him.
"Look I'm sorry." Danny murmered into his ear so he could hear.
"Tell that to your girlfriend." Dougie snapped. Danny grabbed Dougie by the shirt and pushed him into the wall.
"Don't be an asshole. Back off me and Elle and get on with your own life." Danny snarled at him.
"Go fuck yourself Dan. Or get some groupie to do it for you." Dougie retorted. Dougie felt Danny's fist tighten round his throat and his other fist coming into contact with his cheek. Dougie gasped and kicked Danny in the shin. Danny heard footsteps and talking making him release Dougie. Dougie held his hand up to his cheek and followed Danny who was limping slightly to where Tom and Harry had just walked on stage. They ran after them and were met with a tremendous scream.
