Enjoy and review.

Thanks for the reviews :)

He smiled, looking so charming I could have vomited, all women in my family and my girlfriend gathered around him. I had the feeling even Dean liked him. Like really, really liked him. Remember he's gay. I guess he had to pretend in front of grandma. Uncle Daniel just shook his hand, smiled friendly -which is incredibly weird- and stepped back.

"Thanks so much again for inviting me tonight" Dylan said.

"It was our pleasure to have you here" mum said. I just rolled my eyes, crossed my arms in front of my chest and waited for him to get the hell out.

"You can come back tomorrow night" Jazzie said "Right, mum?"

Why didn't I say that one coming? I felt like banging my head against the wall. I just couldn't picture him every single night here until we left... Just when I'd thought things couldn't get any more complicated.

"Of course he cans" mum said.

"Oh, no, I don't want to be a burden" he said with fake modesty. I don't know what upsets me more: him being arrogant and vain or him faking modesty.

"Oh, come on, we enjoy having you here" aunt Ivy said.

"Do we?" I mumbled, but of course nobody heard me.

"Alright, then" he said and smiled "Thank you very much. Well, it's time to go now" Finally. He turned towards Stephanie and smiled at her like they've been best friends forever "I will see you tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait"

She just smiled back at him and God, I wanted to punch him.

"Goodbye then" he said.

"Wait!" I said "Aren't you going to say goodbye to me, old friend?"

He hesitated, obviously confused by my friendliness, he knew just as well as I did that all this was a big lie, he'd always hated me and made my life impossible, and, well I've always hated him too. But he was an excellent actor -he should study that instead of interior design or law, but it's kinda great that I am the star here- and recovered quickly from the surprised, I don't think anyone buy my sister and myself noticed it. He smiled and came over.

"Give me a hug, old friend" I said.

As soon as we were hugging, which was incredibly weird and uncomfortable, I spoke, barely moving my lips, but I knew he'd hear me "I know what you're trying to do. Stay away from Stephanie. She's mine"

"Is her?" he whispered back "Seems like tomorrow she'll be all mine..."

He stepped away, smiling, and after saying goodbye to the rest of the family, he left. Oh, dear God, if looks could kill, I would have killed him a thousand times tonight.

"I'm tired, let's go to bed" Steph said as she came closer to me and grabbed my hand. I nodded and followed her up the stairs.

I closed the door behind us once we were in our room, she took her clothes off and then put on her pyjama. She's just so beautiful, it keeps surprising me every time I see her.

"Are you ok?" she asked when I was still standing next to the door.

"Yeah, sure" I said and laid down in bed with my clothes on.

"It was an... Interesting night" she said.

"You found it interesing?" I said. Is that a bad thing? Should I worry about that? I mean, he's obviously handsome, all women have always liked him physically. Could I compete with him now that I'd grown up and was slightly more handsome that I'd been when I was 15? I wondered who she found more handsome, me or him.

"You don't seem to like Dylan so much. Why's that?" she laid next to me, her head in my chest, looking up at me with those pretty grey eyes she had. I put a hand on her back and caressed her cheek with the other one. Ok, I may not look sweet in videos or while I perform, etc., but that's just cause I'm really really shy... But Steph... She always brings out the best in me, even if it took me a while to get to this point ever since we started dating. Losing her won't just mean losing another girlfriend, just another breakup, it'd be so much more than that, it'd hurt so much more.

"Well..." I said. I wasn't sure it was a good idea to let all my anger out "First of all, he's a liar. And, despite how annoying my family can be, they're still my family and I can't stand seeing him lying to them, it's not right. Secondly, well... I hate how he wants to compete all the time!"

"That seemed to be you tonight, not him, love" she said. That annoyed me.

"And third but not least, he's going to try to get to you" I said through my teeth.

"Get to me?" she repeated.

"When I came to school here, he had every single girl she wanted, even the olders. I guess he just can't stand seeing me with a girl he'd wanted for himself if he'd met you somehwere else. I bet he feels he's losing and, dear God, how could anyone lose again me? I've been a loser here, you don't lose against a loser, do you?"

"You're not a loser" she said, learning up a little bit, her face serious "To me, nobody could be better than you" she smiled and I smiled a little bit.

"I wish my family though the same..." I sighed "I wish at laeast my own mother thought that"

"She does. How could she not be proud of you? You're a freaking star" she giggled.

"Well, she seemed to want Dylan as her son tonight" I said, truly hurt by that because it was freaking true and I knew it. For God's sake, I didn't even finished school, I dropped it as soon as I joined McFLY. That had been mum's bigger disappointment and, even if she'd never said it, I knew it perfectly.

"You're afraud I may want him as my boyfriend too?" Steph whispered. I didn't answer, knowing she'd probably get upset if I said yes. She kissed my cheek after a minute of silence "No one had ever chose me before... Well, or at least nobody had stayed by my side for so long. Dylan can't compare to you. There's not even a competition here, you've already won"

I sighed.

"Yes, but I can't stand the fact of the two of you together the whole afternoon... Alone." I said as I closed my eyes, I was so tired, mentally and physically.

"You should know by now that nothing will happen" she said "I'll be back in a few hours. I need this, Dougie, it's for my career. Alright?"

I nodded, I didn't feel like arguing.

"Please, don't be upset at me" she whispered.

I put both my arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"I'm sorry" I said "I just have a lot in my mind right now, my love."

"At least you called me my love" she whispered.

I opened my eyes and kissed her "I'm not upset at you, ok? I don't want to make you happy"

"Then you be happy. Nothing can tear us apart. We've survived these last couple of days with your family, haven't we? How much worse can it get?" she said.

"Oh, you have no idea..."
