Hey Guys, this is the 11th chapter of Maria and Dougie 4. Hope you like it :p
Chapter 11: Concert
Dougie´s POV:
I was extremely nervous and I could feel my palms getting sweaty, though being on the stage, standing under those hot lights, playing on my bass, I was sweating like crap. I was extremely high as I always was when we were performing. It sent a thrilling feeling through my body looking at the crowd in front of me going wild to the music that we played. Then again, the thought of what I was going to do as soon as we had played the song that Tom was now presenting. "Okay, Guys. This next song is written by our own Doug. It´s called "Too Close For Comfort".
The lights were almost completely turned off except for the blue spotlights that were lighting up the stage. Danny, Tom and I started playing our basses and guitar and Harry started playing the quiet rhythm on his beloved drum set. As Tom sang the first line he removed his hands from his guitar and held his arms, raised in the air.
I never meant the things I said
to make you cry,
can I say I´m sorry?
It´s hard to forget
and yes I regret
all these mistakes
I don´t know why you´re leaving me
but I know you must have your reasons
there´s tears in your eyes
I watch as you cry
but it´s getting late
Was I invading in on your secrets
was I too close for comfort
you´re pushing me out
when I wanted in
What was I just about to discover
when I got too close for comfort
driving you home
Guess I´ll never know
Remember when we scratched our names into the sand
and you told me you loved me
but now that I find
that you´ve changed your mind
I´m lost for words
And everything I feel for you
I wrote down on one piece of paper
the one in your hand
You won't understand
how much it hurts to let you go
Was I invading in on your secrets
was I too close for comfort
you´re pushing me out
when I wanted in
What was I just about to discover
when I got too close for comfort
driving you home
Guess I´ll never know
All this time you´ve been telling me lies
hidden in bags that are under your eyes
and when I asked you I knew I was right
but if you turn your back on me now
when I need you most
but you chose to let me down, down, down
Won´t you think about
what you´re about to do to me
and back down
Was I invading in on your secrets
was I too close for comfort
you´re pushing me out
when I wanted in
What was I just about to discover
I got too close for comfort
you´re pushing me out
when I´m wanting in
yeah, yeah, yeah
Was I invading in on your secrets
Was I too close for comfort
You're pushing me out
When I wanted in
What was I just about to discover
When I got too close for comfort
Driving you home
I guess I'll never know...
The crowd was going wild. I felt honoured that this was really me that had written that song. The most important thing about it was who it was written about and none of those teenage girls out there thought of that. I didn´t want to let the thought of Maria come to me now. This was my big moment. I took a deep breath and accidently everyone could hear as I had the headphone a little too close to my mouth. I fixed it quickly as I had reached mid stage. Danny and Tom moved backwards so all the attention was on me. I looked at Tom for him to give me a confirmation that Frankie was here. He nodded and I looked backstage so that I could look for myself instead I ended up thinking I was hallucinating. I had to be Maria wasn´t even on this continent. She was in Africa for God´s sake. I turned to Tom again and he must´ve seen my expression. Though he obviously didn´t know what I meant when I looked at him in panic. He must´ve have thought I was just nervous but I was completely confused and terrified. he made a motion for me to continue. I could not declare my love for Frankie with Maria in the "house". I still felt a much stronger love for Maria though I wasn´t much for admitting it. I looked backstage again and noticed that Maria smiled a nervous smile at me. I felt my mind spinning. "Maria?" I said and my mind was so clouded that I wasn´t even sure that I had spoken. I was sure though, when I saw Harry almost falling down from the drum platform and Tom standing with his mouth open. If wasn´t so confused I would have shit in my pants from laughing so hard. Danny looked amused by it. "Marry me?" I still couldn´t hear my own voice so I still wasn´t sure that I had spoken before Maria ran up to me and straight into my arms. I could see the sweet tear glistering on her cheeks in the light and I could feel the wetness of her cheeks when she pressed it against mine hugging me. Backstage, where Maria had been standing, I saw Frankie. She was looking at Maria with a poisonous gaze. The saying came into my mind if looks could kill…
I felt overwhelmed to have Maria in my arms again. The feeling of her soft skin against mine that I´d missed for the last three years. I heard Tom clear his throat when he´d finally gotten back to his senses. Maria pulled back and smiled sweetly at me through the tears. "I´ll see you afterwards," she whispered promising and kissed my cheek before running backstage again, where I had seen Frankie run off mad just a few seconds ago. I knew there were no chance saving a relationship between me and her now, but I didn´t care. I had Maria now.
