Harry
Tom and i stare at the missing kids who's pictures are scattered around the breakfast bar ready for us to tell danny about Georgia as we both agreed it was better to let him know then for him to find out on his own knowing we did not tell him because that would just make things also need to tell him as we are going out to meet with georgia and dougie's parents later on today to get some background information on both families even though dan doesn't need to know anything for any of them and we know everything to do with dougie but it going to be televised later on tonight
"morning" danny mumbles and i can tell he was up late last night crying because his eyes are bloodshot and they have dark purple bruises under them, I hate knowing we are just going to make things worse for him when he is already so upset about dougs.
"dan...can you come sit here for a moment?" tom asks him using a voice you would use for a wounded child. I cant help but wonder if that was a good choice.
"what is it...is it something to do with dougie...is he home!" danny asks making his eyes light up, I cover my face with my hands before getting up and putting my arm around his shoulder
"danny just sit and we will tell you okay" i try to say strongly but my voice breaks when his big blue eyes stare into mine now twinkling with tears
"he is dead isn't he?" he asks and he lets a couple of tears fall down his cheeks
"no no he is not dead danny sit and we will explain" tom whispers so danny sits with my arm still around him for support and because i have gotten a lot closer with danny so it's not strange that i would be hugging him.
"danny when harry and i where looking through the missing kids we found someone else we know..." tom tells him and i see him trying to blink back his tears
"w..who is it?" danny asks so i pick up the picture of georgia that was lying underneath a smash hits magazine, I pass it to him numbly and i feel him freeze under my grasp. After a moment i see a tear drip onto the picture so i wrap both my arms around his now shaking body
"i'm sorry danny" i whisper and he lets the picture slide from his hands so he can cover his face.
"oh and it's going to be okay i promise we will get her back for you and dougie too" tom whispers then danny turns his body so he can hide his face in my shirt
"tom call the families and say to meet here instead so it's more private and i will get danny ready then we can tidy the front room a little.
"what families?" danny asks then lifts his head a tiny bit
"dougie and georgia's" i reply then i half pick him up so i can take him to his room.
1 hour later
We got danny dressed in half an hour as he struggles against any attempt to be productive he just wanted to be in bed so he can sleep away his troubles but i wont let him he needs to stay strong for georgia and not hide away from the ways we can help her.
He now lays on the end of the sofa curled up in blankets crying his eyes out and i know that is just a saying but i really do feel like his eyes will fall out if he cries anymore i am beginning to worry about him.
I sit next to him on the sofa so i can gently pull him into my arms letting him cry on my shoulder as tom greet's sam and jazzie who have clearly both been crying as they have tear stained cheeks and puffy eyes, But when sam sees danny her mothering instincts kick in.
"dear god sweety are you okay?" she asks then kneels in front of dan so she can stroke his hair.
"they took her and they took him" he whimpers and leans his head onto her hand then he closes his eyes letting more tears drip down his face
"took who?" jazzie asks him then took his hand and i watch him grip onto it tightly
"georgia" i answer for him and i feel new sobs racking danny's small skinny frame
"oh sweetie it's okay it's all going to be okay i promise you" Sam whispers and i can see how strong she is trying to be and her calming effects seem to be helping danny
Until Georgia's family walks in
