Hey guys back again, again i dont own McFLY or Just my luck.

hope you enjoy the new chapter :) and R+R x

He cut the engine and looked out the window at the familiar small White house in the Lake District, a sense of relief washing over him. He could forget everything here; in miles of countryside he had three days to just be him, just Harry, like back in the days before Mcfly. He would never want to give his life up, but a few days out of the spotlight was long overdue.

For the whole journey a knot of unease sat in his spine, he knew him and Dougie were fine again, but he couldn't shift the knowledge that it was their first real fight. Sure they had fought before, but over silly things. This time it wasn't so silly, and he had had a glimpse of what it would be like to loose Dougie, the feeling broke him. He relied on Dougie too much, and in that one moment he had realised how he had rearranged his life around him, they were a set now, you had to take one with the other. It had made him realise that they weren't schoolboys running around after each other anymore. He had realised just how much he loved Dougie, and how much he was loved in return.

He sat opposite his grandmother the next day at breakfast with a slight twinge of guilt. It had been too long since his last visit, she seemed smaller, more fragile than he remembered, it didn't seem right her being alone in the house after his granddad had passed away. He should have been here, to make sure she was okay.

Still she fussed over him, baking cakes and feeding him until he felt sick
"Nana, I'll get that. You sit down, you've done enough for me already!" he reached to take the plates out of her liver spot marked hands.
"Nonsense, your a guest. Go sit down, anyone would think you think I'm not capable" her wrinkled eyes glistened mischievously, and he momentarily caught the sight of a much younger Maggie Judd, a beautiful slender girl full of life, she really had never changed on the inside.

"Alright Nan, so how are things?" he made light conversation to pass the time,
"Ahh so so, can't complain, although I do miss seeing more of you of course! Tell me, how's Dougie?" her smile spoke a thousand words, as her eyes twinkled again.
She was the first to know about him and Dougie, knowing she would never judge him he always felt like he could talk to her about anything.
"Um, he's doing great! Although," he paused "he wants to go public" Harry's voice became small
"and your not sure about it?" his grandmother probed
"No, no it's not that, I want it too, it's just-" he paused to phrase his words right "it's just, I'm scared people won't accept it, Tom and Dan will of course, and our families! But I couldn't stand the press ripping into our lives. Doug doesn't see past his nose, but I know it'll cut him up if people start saying bad things about us and the band because of our relationship, you know how some people are"

He closed his eyes and sighed, running his hands through his hair.
"Harry, I know you want to protect him and the boys, but don't you think Dougie knows his own mind? Isn't it his decision if he wants to tell everyone about you both? I don't have any experience of it personally of course, but one thing I've learnt from life is to let people go their own way. Dougie might be stronger than you think. Of course someone's bound to say something bad about you both, but it wouldn't be any different for any other couple in the world! Everyone has to overcome their demons at some point, for you it's just on a more public scale."

His grandmother's wisdom shocked him into silence. He had never thought about it like that before, maybe Dougie did understand the risks, and just chose to take a chance. He decided to bet on Dougie.
"Your right. God, I never looked at it that way before. Everything just seems so trivial when you put it like that, like everything I was worrying about was a little vain" his heart swelled again, as he realised exactly what he was going to do "nana, I think I know what im going to do now."
His grandmother smiled at him knowingly

"I'm not saying it will be easy, God knows it will be anything but, but I know a good thing when I see it, and I know you better than you know yourself sometimes. Don't think yourself out of a good thing son" she patted his hand softly and left the room, leaving him to collect his thoughts.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and texted Dougie quickly, while the thought was fresh in his head
"change of plan, I'll be home the day after tomorrow. Missing you, don't forget about the interview on Thursday, tell Tom I promise I'll be back in time. Make sure you rub the footie score into Dan for me. Nan says hi, love you, see you Thursday xx"
He pressed the send button and flicked his phone shut, moving into the kitchen to his grandmother with a smile on his face, the day, no the week had just gotten a whole lot better
"Hey nana, fancy coming into town layer? We could make a day of it"
She smiled, drying her hands in the cloth
"Of course, best make the most of your visit! How about a trip to the chippy while we're there?"
"I can't say no to fish and chips," he laughed as her eyes twinkled into a wink once more as she left the room for her coat. He pulled his phone out again, waiting for a reply.
