The tension that flowed through the hospital was unbelievable at the moment. It seemed to weave its way through the already uncomfortable atmosphere and wrap itself around the remaining three, not feeling like it would bother to leave anytime soon.
Tom was sat in the waiting room for friends and family, head in his hands as his knee bounced fanatically. He was angry and confused, the feelings split between the situation itself and Danny. Tom really wanted to know why Danny had all of a sudden gotten so worked up. He'd never been that way, not even after Harry had punched him in the face.
It felt as if Danny just didn't care anymore, but, deep down, Tom knew that Danny really did care. He knew that the Northerner cared possibly too much for Harry, just like the rest of them. As he thought about it, it suddenly occurred to him that the reason why Danny was so against letting Harry know, could be because he didn't want to see the heartbreak that would surely cross Harry's face. He maybe just couldn't bear the thought of pulling Harry back to the beginning; he didn't want to ruin the ignorance because what would come from reminding him would only make them all feel worse.
His knee stopped, and he stood up quickly, feeling like a proper jerk for all the things he'd said to Danny. He'd taken what Danny had said in the wrong way and made him feel angry and hurt, and that was something he wasn't supposed to make his best friend feel. They were supposed to be understanding with each other, and to be honest, Tom could have most definitely handled the situation with Danny better.
He hastily made his way back out in the hallway, where Dougie and Fadia were lent against the wall, not really saying anything. Tom was amazed how they could go from hating each other to having this brother/sister bond. To be honest, it freaked him out a bit.
He took a deep breath and said, "Guys, I'm so sorry for acting the way I did, I realize I could and should have handled the situation better." Dougie looked at him long and hard before saying, "Well, the way you acted was wrong nonetheless, whether you're sorry or not, and now we have no idea where Danny is. I mean, I realize how you could have taken it the wrong way, but, really, you should know him well enough to realize he doesn't always take these sorts of situations well." This only made Tom feel guiltier, as he said, "I'm going to call him."
The blonde guitarist pulled out his phone and quickly dialed the Boltonian, hearing it ring several times before going to voicemail. He sighed, feeling frustration and a sense of panic wash over him at not knowing where his upset and angry friend was. Tom looked at Dougie and Fadia before saying, "I'm going to go look for him!"
He was stopped by Dougie's hand on his shoulder. The bassist looked at him sympathetically, and said, "Mate, no offense, but I don't really think Danny wants to talk to you right now. You know how he is, just let him some time by himself, and I'm sure he'll be back and you then you can kiss and make up." Tom looked at Dougie feeling both surprised and relieved. It may not have been much, but it was the first remotely joking thing that Dougie had said since what happened with Harry, and it just felt good to hear even a small bit of the old Dougie shine through.
Tom nodded slowly, reluctantly, and took his place next to Dougie against the wall. He just needed for Danny to come back, because he couldn't bear the thought of them falling apart now, he needed Danny to stay strong and forgive him so they could all help Harry get through this rough part of his life, so, just maybe, if possible, they could one day get back the Harry they loved and missed. Maybe one day they'd have their Harry again, because the one he was becoming more and more everyday was tearing them all to pieces.
A/N: Okay, so, hopefully I can be back to updating every or every other day, but I'm really sorry if I don't add to this in a couple of days, I'm going to try to build up a routine so I can get this finished. Please, REVIEW!
