Chapter 8

POV: Dougie's

I hate Shannon so much! I know she's just plotting ways to steal Danny, and I'm worried. He looks at her too much; he got a f***ing boner over her for Christ's sake! That's not normal! I've never got an erection over a girl! I swear I could continuously punch him for how he embarrassed me that night! I felt awful! Unwanted, humiliated, used, how could he do that to me? He hadn't even been drinking.

He followed me as I ran from the football field, I wish he'd just leave it, he's the reason I'm in this state as it is.

"Dougie, wait! What's wrong?" He asked as he caught up with me. I stopped running and turned to him, I was crying

"What do you think's f***ing wrong, Danny?" I shouted

"Whatever she's said, it's not true, I promise you" He said, calmly

"But it is true!" I shrieked, "What's the f***ing point in this anymore, Danny?"

He just stayed silent

"I love you so much, but it's clear that love isn't returned, God, I'm surprised you actually followed me!" I said, more tears rolling down my cheeks

"Are you dumping me?" He asked, tears in his eyes

"I can't do this, watching you and her, just to make sure you don't give in"

"I won't!"

"You nearly did the other night!"

"I regret that so much, you know I just got lost in the moment"

"I'll see you round, Danny" I choked

"Please, Dougie, no"

"God luck for this season's football" I choked again. I started to walk off.

"I love you" He cried

"It's not enough though, is it?" I shouted back and headed home. I cried myself to sleep that night; I miss him so much already. I love him.
