Here's some more of Dougie's life.
Still Doug's POV.
Mum was really happy to see me and I was happy to see her too. Jazzie was still sleeping that Saturday morning, on weekends she only wakes up when it's time to have lunch.
Meanwhile, mum was making pasta and I was looking at her from my sit.
"Mum, how are you?" I asked her. I'm not a serious person, but I know how to be it when it's necessary.
"I'm fine, Doug, why?" she said.
"I don't know… I guess I see you a bit lonely in this big house" when mum and Jazzie decided they wanted to move closer to me, I appreciated a lot, I was excited to have them around, and I bought them this house as a gift; McFLY was earning loads of money, buying this house wasn't a problem to me.
"Oh, don't worry about me, I'm fine. I've got a date tonight."
I froze. So did my heart for a second.
"A date?" I repeated "A date with who?"
"He's name is Paul, I met him at the supermarket."
A date.
She had a date.
She had a date with a man I didn't know.
Ever since my father left home, left my family, mum hasn't have much of a romantic life, she had been more worried taking care of us than looking for a boyfriend. I didn't mind, I loved it that way, I was very protective of my mum, my stupid father –which I hated to call father- had left her with the biggest broken heart ever.
"Are you ok, Dougie?" she asked.
This subject really pissed me off, I was hoping mum would never go out with other men. I know this sounds really selfish, but that's not what I am, I don't want to see her that hurt again, it scares me, she's my mum.
"No, I'm not ok. How do you know this guy isn't a jerk?"
"Because I am an adult, son, and I get to choose who I date"
"But what if you choose a jerk?"
"It's only a date, and I have to take risks, honey"
I stood up "I'm going to check on Jazzie"
"Oh, Dougie, don't leave"
I didn't listen and went to my sister's room. I opened the windows so the sunlight could fill the room and sat by her site on the bed.
"Wake up, the best brother ever is here" I said.
"Can the best brother ever come back later?" she said, still not even opening her eyes.
"Not really" I laid down next to her "Hey, did you know mum's got a date tonight?"
"Actually, yes"
"What? You knew and you didn't tell me?"
"I couldn't tell you yesterday in front of everyone, you would have get distracted while thinking about it and probably ruined the show"
"I guess you are right…"
"Don't worry, she's be fine. Paul looks like a really nice guy"
"Did you meet him?"
"Yes, at the supermarket with mum. Hr was looking for cakes for his nephew's birthday party and asked mum is he could help her pick one"
'What a stupid excuse to talk to a girl' I thought 'stupid Paul'. I sighed and Jazz rolled over to hug me.
"I know you are worried, I'm too. But mum's been on her own for too long, Dougie, it's not fair for her, she deserves some love too."
"She's got our love"
"You know it's not the same"
"Can we change the subject, please?" I asked. I didn't feel like talking about this anymore.
She nodded.
"Your friend… Ally… Where is she from?"
"I have no clue, all I know she's from somewhere in South America."
The show 'Latin American Idol' came straight to my mind. Girls around there were all very pretty, that would explain why she was that hot.
"Tom said she looked sad. Any idea why?"
"No, she usually looks like that, and also tired. I have the feeling she didn't have much fun in America"
I nodded. I was even more curious now.
"Why are you asking me this?" she asked "You are not into her, are you? Because I'm done with having you guys chasing every single friend I introduce you"
I laughed "Chill out, sis, I was just curious!"
"Thought… Well… You haven't had a girl in months, bro. Are you ok?"
"It still hurts me… You know, Frankie"
"Yeah, I know… But it's been 7 months, let go, Doug"
"I know!" I said annoyed, everybody kept telling me the same. Did they think I was suffering on purpose or what? I couldn't let go, not because I didn't want to, just because I couldn't "Look, I think I'm going to take off"
"No, no, I'm sorry, but, please, stay, best brother ever!" she grabbed my arm and made a puppy face "Please, stay"
