Chapter 15
-Danny POV-
I was frozen to the spot as his words echoed to my brain. "What's wrong Dan? You look a bit pale" he worried and put his hand on my shoulder. Then it hit me, why would he caring if he knew? I quickly regained my composure and smiled at him. "Don't worry, I thought I left something cooking then remembered I hadn't been cooking" I laughed. "Well, as I was saying, I know what I'm getting you for christmas! Me and Tom saw something in the shops" he grinned. He was being so perfect to me! How could I do this to him? The thing is I don't want to hurt him but I can't stop. I jumped up at him, getting really excited. "What is it?" I said bouncing up and down. "You'll have to wait and see" he smiled back and kissed me. "I love you" he smiled even wider and I felt my heart ache with guilt. "I love you too"
-Dougie POV-
Tom came upstairs and into my room, smiling happily at me. I smiled back and kissed him quickly then went to pull away but he had other plans, deepening the kiss and I responded with bringing my hands up to his soft blonde hair running my fingers through it. We fell onto the bed and bega ripping our clothes off...
We both fell back onto the bed exhausted, me especially having done it twice in the space of an hour! Tom pulled me closer to him and I laid my head on his chest. "That was nice" he said and laughed. "Yeah, you're not bad in bed" I smirked cheekily. "Oi! I'm sure I'm great!" he said, pretending to be offended and I nodded slowly. "Come here!" he said then grabbed me and held me close while he tickled me with his other hand. I giggled loudly and enjoyed the moment because I remembered that we were meant to be friends and this wasn't real. He stopped when he realised something was up. "What's wrong?" he asked worried. "Maybe, we should call it quits" I said and his smile dropped instantly. "W-why?" he said shocked by my words. "This isn't the way, we're friends, we shouldn't be friends with benefits! I think it may ruin us, I like being your friend and what happens after this? It won't be the same..." I said looking at my hands on the duvet. "It's not! I still think of you the same way! Maybe more, I'm liking you more with each day we're together" Tom said with his eyes tearing up. "That's the problem Tom!" I shouted with tears falling freely down my face. I was starting to grow feelings for Tom as well but Danny would always have the power over me and I'd cheat if this became real...
I pulled on my clothes and then went to run past him to make for the front door. I needed fresh air! But Tom grabbed me and spun me around and connecting our lips straight away. My legs grew weak and my stomach fluttered. "Tell me you didn't feel anything!" he said. "I can't..." I replied and and shook my head as tears flowed quicker down my face. I pulled away and ran down the stairs, meeting Danny and Harry. "You alright mate?" Danny asked, his eyes full of worry but making me feel even worse. "I'm not keeping this secret! I just can't do any of this anymore!" I shouted and darted past them, out the front door. I kept running... I didn't know where but I had to get far away. I know I was a coward but I couldn't help it, I opened my eyes and found myself at the zoo. I smiled slightly, typical me, running to the zoo without knowing but deep inside I knew I needed to be here. I could sit and watch the reptiles, sometimes talk to them but obviously not getting a response. I sat down next to the bearded dragons. "I'm in such a mess, I don't know what to do" I whined to the lizard. "Of course you won't say anything, you can't... but then it helps to talk to you, you know?" I said. I sat there thinking about my problems and how I might go about solving them.
-Harry POV-
We ran upstairs and heard a distraught Tom crying in the bathroom. "You okay Tom?" I asked while knocking on the door. There was no reply but the crying stopped. "I'm fine, just leave me alone" he said quietly but I knew he was lying... "You sure?" I really didn't want to leave him. "What the hell Harry? Just leave me alone! I said I'm fine!" he shouted back which was a very rare occasion, making me worry even more. I sat in silence against the wall near the bathroom. I wanted to be there for him when he came out.
-Tom POV-
They were still out there. I could hear them. I may have stopped crying for that short second but the tears started again after matter of seconds. The sobbing continued with it. I wanted Harry so bad, but at the same time I loved Dougie. Him leaving after we had sex really hurt. It was my fault because of how attached I was getting. He left me because I was too attached and it hurt so bad, it felt like my heart had disappeared, an empty hole replacing it.
-Danny POV-
I sat with Harry panicking in my mind. Did Dougie tell Tom about what had happened between us? That's why he's in there crying his eyes out! It all made perfect sense and I couldn't help but feel guilty that he was crying because of me. A few tears escaped my eyes silently. Was everything going to fall apart again? "It's okay Dan, Tom will be fine, I'm sure of it" he smiled comfortingly but I couldn't believe him. I curled into myself, not wanting to see what would happen when Tom emerged from the bathroom.
-Tom POV-
Maybe I didn't want Harry anymore? I just wanted Dougie to be with me, was that so bad? At the beginning it was all about lust and getting Harry's attention but maybe it was all just a phase. I had been with Dougie all the way. After what happened with their 'game' he was with me, and he made me feel better. He was the person that kept me strong. I opened the bathroom door and darted towards the stairs and out the door. If I knew Dougie well enough then he'd be at the zoo. I didn't bother getting in my car, I just ran straight down the road to the nearest zoo. I saw Dougie across the road, just sitting on his own in the empty zoo. I walked across the road but stopped at a loud horn. I turned my head and then nothing, just blackness.
