Chapter 7
Harrys pov
I had been beaming with excitement while I turned back to Dougie after ending the phone call. The one who had just called me was the owner of a little shared apartment, which I had opted for. The man had said when I first called to ask if they still had room for me left, that there were some other people who had been sooner, but they were still hesitating, and he would call me back when he had their answer.
'You're not going to believe this.' I had said excited. Dougie looked at me curiously frowning.
'What is it?' He had asked softly. I decided to spill it out immediately.
I told him that I was going to move out this evening, and at that Dougies eyes turned said. Quickly I went on telling him that the guy still had place for one other person, and that I had just arranged that Dougie could be that one. I laughed while watching Dougies reaction. His eyes widened and he looked at me with an almost disbelieving look.
'You... I... I can't do it.' He said and my smile dissapeared almost immediately. He looked at me troubled.
'I'm sorry. But I don't have money, and I'm probably too young anyway...' He tried to explain. But I would have none of it.
'What? No Dougie, it's okay, the apartment is really cheap, I can pay your share of the rent, and you can make for it by doing the dishes or something.' I joked, and I was relieved when he smiled.
'And the guy doesn't seem to care about it, he had never even asked how old I am, and I am only 17.' I went on. 'But if you really don't feel good about it, I understand of course. I won't push you, it's your decision.'
Though I would feel really bad if he didn't come with me.
Dougie looked at me hesitating for another few moments, then he smiled again and sighed.
'Fine, I'll come with you. I don't have any other place to go anyway.'
I laughed. 'Wow, a lot of enthousiasm there, Dougs.' Dougie smiled back, sticking out his tongue to me cheakily.
That day passed rather quickly. Dougie helped me pack my stuff and we cleaned the whole apartment. When it was about 6.30 in the evening we left the apartment, and I locked the door for the last time. Though I didn't feel even the slightest pang of regret. I might have felt sad if Dougie wasn't going with me, but he was, and that fact made me forget everything else. I liked him, no I really liked him. He was so cute, so young and innocent. I was still a bit shocked about his confession about his past. About his father abusing him, I couldn't even imagine what his life must have been like and how he must be feeling. But I knew that I wasn't going to let him alone for a while, so he couldn't cower out and go back to his father to be abused by him again. Dougie was special. I didn't know why anyone would want to hurt this boy, so goodlooking and kindhearted. His dirtyblond locks falling playfully over his darkblue eyes made him look so cute you just wanted to squeeze and hold him. Yes, I am bisexual, I'm not gay, I am attrackted to girls as well sometimes.
Anyway, when we arrived at the shared apartment on the third floor, Dougie looked shy and nervous. I rubbed his back comforting, he seemed to relax a bit more.
'You still want to come with me?' I asked worried. He nodded.
'Of course I do. I'm just a bit afraid that they won't like me.' Dougie said giving me a small uncertain smile. I wanted to hug him, would he think that's weird? A boy hugging a boy?
I shrugged the urge of me and merely gave him a smile.
'Thank you for coming with me. I'm sure they will like you. Who wouldn't?' I said. He cringed.
'My father.' He said so softly it was barely audiable. He looked so said and vulnerable, I now had to hug him before he burst out in tears in front of the door of our new apartment. And crying in front of your new roommates isn't a very good first impression. I pulled him closer and hugged him.
'Oh Dougie,' I said softly. 'Forget about that man. He is a fool for not seeing how amazing you are. You are safe here with me. I won't let anyone hurt you again.'
Dougie didn't pull back, he was silent for a while until I finally pulled back reluctantly.
'Why do you care for me so much, Harry?' Dougie asked me with big puppy eyes, that were glistening with threatening yet unshed tears.
'Because I like you, Dougie.' I said simply, but secretly nervous, hoping he wouldn't think I was weird. It was silent, awkwardly silent.
'Shall we just knock then?' I asked even more awkward, to break the silence. Dougie nodded, still looking said but trying to look normal. I nodded on the door and we waited for a respons in silence. We heard footsteps, then the door opened, and a beautiful girl was revealed.
'Hi,' She said a bit shy but polite. 'You must be Harry and Dougie.' We nodded and shook hands with her.
'I'm Evelyn'. She told us and let us in. I must admit, the brunette young girl was really attractive, but the person standing next to me was still more attractive.
Please review!!! :D
