Lose My Mind
This chapter is the introduction of new character Blaine, who serves as Doug's knight in shining armour in Doug's desperate time of need. Also I'd like to thank the people who reviewed the last chapter.
"Hold up Doug. I forgot my phone. I'll be two minutes" Lynsey says smiling at her downtrodden friend.
"Ok Lynsey. Just hurry up though" Doug mumbles watching Lynsey go back in the doors. He does not want to be waiting around when Brendan could appear at any moment, something that could inflict further pain his damaged heart.
"Well, well. Surprised to see ye without any." Brendan appears out the door, taunting Doug by gesturing towards Doug's red, tear stained eyes.
Doug is speechless seeing Brendan in front of him, Doug had hoped to go without seeing Ste or Brendan today. Doug had hoped to give his heart a break and not the break that involved him getting hurt. Suddenly that Demi Lavato song popped into his head at the wrong time.
"Everything ok?" Lynsey asks eyeing Brendan and Doug suspiciously as she came out the door.
"No. Nothing wrong here. Is there Douglas? Just having a friendly chat" Brendan says leering over in Doug's direction.
Doug felt something inside him snap. All the sorrow and the hurt that has been building up inside him, it has all changed to anger, rage and bitterness. Doug felt his mouth starting to talk, too fast for his brain to catch up and think before what he says. By the time Doug finished screaming at Brendan, the anger and rage had changed back to sadness and grief.
"Yeah. And?" Brendan casually says not at all affected by Doug's outburst.
"Brendan? Is this true?" Lynsey asks in shock looking at Brendan.
"What does it matter? It's not like ye'd believe me anyway" Brendan states glaring at Doug.
"So it's true" Lynsey says calmly. Lynsey walks over and slaps Brendan hard across the face, shocking Doug who takes off running. Brendan inhales deeply before shifting his attention to the feisty Irish nurse.
"How could you?" was the last thing Doug hears Lynsey scream.
Doug kept his head down as he ran, just needing to get away, unfortunately, because he kept his head down, he couldn't see exactly where he was going. Doug eventually collided with someone, knocking both of their feet.
"Oww… " a voice moans.
"Wow… Umm hi" the voice says in what sounded like shock to Doug.
"Hey are you ok?" the voice asks Doug, when Doug didn't answer the first time.
Doug look's up to see a boy with blonde hair and piercing blue but familiar eyes. The boy had extended a lightly tanned hand in Doug's direction. Doug takes his hand and the boy pulls him off the ground.
"Wait! Don't cry! A cute guy like you shouldn't be crying" the blonde boy says upon seeing Doug's tears, not realising that he called Doug cute.
"…" Doug completely forgot that he was crying and was now more focused on the fact the blonde boy thinks he's cute. The blonde boy however suddenly remembers that he called Doug cute and takes Doug's silence as Doug being straight.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry! Completely ignore what I just said!" the blonde boy stammer's out getting all nervous
"Oh no! it's ok" Doug says wiping his eyes, finding that the blonde boy's reaction quite amusing, bringing a smile to his face.
"There, now that's how it should be. No tears and there's a nice smile" the blonde says cheerfully watching Doug's smile get bigger.
"Thanks" Doug quietly says feeling his smile get even wider.
"So… You're not bothered by me…" the blonde says lowering his voice.
"Oh! Oh no! I'm not. In fact, we both kinda play on the same baseball team" Doug replies reassuring the blonde boy in front of him. Doug just shocked himself by coming out to a complete stranger where it took him weeks to properly come out to his friends. At the mention of baseball the blonde boy's face lights up.
"You support baseball too? Then you must know that the Yankee's have this year's championship down!" the blonde boy says excitedly and Doug finally notices the accent the blonde boy has. The same New York city accent Doug has.
"Oh please, twenty-twelve is Mets year to shine!" Doug replies back the blonde.
"So. Mr. NYC. You got a name or do I have to call you America?" the blonde boy asks.
"What makes you think I'm American?" Doug asks slightly amused at the blonde's energy.
"Well, for one, your into baseball and two, your accent is a dead giveaway" the blonde replies laughing.
"Touché! Anyway my name is Doug. And you Blondey?" Doug asks starting to laugh.
"Blaine" the blonde replies calming down a small bit, extending his hand out again.
"Oh well you're definitely American!" Doug says taking his hand and shaking it.
"Please explain to me how" Blaine asks already knowing the answer.
"Your name is Blaine and you're gay. No other guy in the UK, shares those two things" Doug says smiling at Blaine who grins widely again.
"The curse of Glee" Blaine sighs before letting out another short laugh.
"Hey, do you happen to know where we could get a drink? I'm new here and I could do with one" Blaine asks in a slight flirtatious manner.
"Oh is this a date?" Doug playfully asks. Doug needed this, earlier on today he was doused in sorrow and in walks Blaine and all thoughts of Ste and Brendan, no longer come into his head, something about Blaine's personality is addicting but at the same time, It was energising.
"Up to you" Blaine replies shrugging with a flirty smile on his face.
"Well I do happen to know this coffee place" Doug suggested.
"Oh straight to the coffee" Blaine says winking at Doug who lets out a high giggle, getting yet another laugh out of Blaine.
"Well, Doug, do lead the way" Blaine says watching Doug walk off, the smile on Blaine's face grew wider as he checked out Doug's butt.
"Damn. That boy's got a fine ass!" Blaine whispers following Doug.
Lynsey smiled as she observed the whole interaction between Doug and the blonde haired boy. Lynsey expected herself to be on cheer up duty today after hearing the entire sordid details surrounding the Ste, Brendan and Doug drama. But watching her closest friend smiling and laughing, she feels herself smile. Happy at what she sees, she walks back into her home.
So here is chapter two to Lose My Mind, this chapter is mainly a filler to introduce my new character Blaine. In the next chapter, Ste tries to deal with yesterday's events while Blaine and Doug go out on their 'date'. So Read and Review. Loves you guys :)
