Thank you readers who have been with me from Part 1. I would truly love it if you would read this last part too. I do not own Just My Luck or McFLY.
Chapter 21 (Dougie's P.O.V.)
Everything happened so fast. I was actually talking to Stephanie; I swear we were getting somewhere! But of course…Frankie ruined everything…again.
Frankie showed up, said the wrong words and made Stephanie think the wrong thing. I wanted to pull my hair out. I wanted to do something, anything, to make Steph listen and believe me!
"Dougie?"
I was frozen in place. Stephanie had slapped me and ran off! I was totally off guard. And Frankie still hadn't left. I needed to be alone, even if it did mean hurting Frankie's little feelings.
"Frankie…" I touched my burning cheek. Then I dropped my hand and turned away. "…leave me alone." I began walking away, but Frankie was persistent. Something that also reminded me of Stephanie.
"But Dougie, I want to help!"
"JUST GO FRANKIE!" I snapped at her. She jumped again. I sighed. "Just go."
Frankie didn't say anything. She dropped her head and ran back to her group. I honestly felt a bit relieved. But then the pain in my cheek reminded me of Stephanie. She would never want to see me again.
I walked outside to meet with the guys and noticed the dorks and Stephanie were nowhere to be found.
"They left."
My attention snapped to the left where I found the guys leaning against our ride. Erica was still there, holding Donovan while Danny gave me a sorry look. I imagined they saw Stephanie crying…because of me.
"Dougie…" Tom tried to console me, but I ignored him. I didn't want anybody's pity.
I walked past them all and got in the car to leave. But before I closed the door, I noticed Erica give Danny a longing stare.
"Donovan." I called, and then whistled.
His ears snapped to alert attention and he quickly spun around to face me. Then he jumped into the car beside me.
I grabbed the door handle and looked at both Danny and Erica. "Why don't you two spend some time together." It wasn't even a question, it was a statement. I closed the door and locked it before Danny could even attempt to get in.
"Dougie, I can't leave you like this!" Danny called from outside the door with Erica standing behind him. She wore a very hurt look on her face. It made me think of Stephanie even more, sending a shooting pain through my heart.
I rolled the window down and with the best fake smile, I said. "Just make-up with your girl and come home later." I rolled the window back up and they both just stared at me through the tinted windows.
Harry and Tom watched us talk and when and when silence took over, they too got in the car. Tom sat up front and Harry sat on my left.
"Dougie?" Harry tried comforting me, but I just ignored him.
"Let's just go home…."
Neither Tom nor Harry spoke again; I just leaned against Donovan while he sat on his hind legs on the seat next to me. He was panting pretty heavily, but when my head hit him, he closed his mouth and whined. Then he placed a paw on my leg.
It was like he really understood my pain. No he DID understand. He too had also lost Stephanie.
Also two announcements! If anybody would like me to do a Q&A video thing, just let me know in the review and give me some questions! And is anybody interested in role-play because I know this great site that you all will love!
