Has anyone seen the TV show 'True Blood'? I was thinking about downloading it but first I would like to know if it'd worth it.
Enjoy the chapter and review please :)
Dougie's POV
I didn't know if my plan would work; so far I was the one who was suffering the most. It was so hard to pretend everything was alright, to kiss her and remember that no long ago another guy had kissed those lips too. Frankie smiled at me and hugged me.
"I'm so glad you are giving me another chance, I won't let you down this time" she said.
"Oh course, baby…" I said "I'll be right back…"
I walked toward Danny and Harry, who were checking our instruments. Almost everything was ready; we were in the set of Top Of The Pop, ready to play a song in front a hundred people and thousands more would be watching this on the TV.
"How are you feeling?" Harry asked.
"I can't resist much longer, really… Don't you think I should just tell her to go?" now my plan looked really cruel, I'd thought about it while being extremely angry, and I didn't know if I could hurt and humiliated her that much.
"Dude, you have to do this, everyone needs to know she's a bitch" Danny said.
"You know she deserves it" Harry said calmly.
"Yes, I know, but so many people are going to be watching… I feel cruel"
"Oh, yes, I forgot she's an angel" Danny raced an eyes brow "Dude, thousands of people saw the picture of her kissing with that other guy, you'll be even after this"
"For the first time in my life I'm going to say Danny's right" Harry said.
Tom came from out of nowhere and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Ready?" he said.
"I was born ready, baby" Danny said.
"I want talking to you, idiot" he said smiling and then turned to me "Are you ready, Doug?"
"No"
"Alright, then let's go"
They took their guitars and Harry sat behind the drums. The crowd shouted excited. I grabbed my bass and turned to talk to Frankie.
"Come with me to the stage, I want you to be there with me while I play" I said smiling.
"Aw, Dougie, that is so sweet! Are you going to dedicate the song to me?" she said.
"Yes, of course, Frankie. Every single line talks about you"
She gave me a quick kiss "Thanks, Doug. But which song are you going to play?"
"Oh, I want it to be a surprise… Now come with me to the stage" I grabbed her hand and we walked on stage together. The crowd shouted more when they saw us.
I stood in front of the microphone and talked "Hello, everyone! Before we start to play, I would like to say that I dedicate this song we are going to play to this girl that I believe many of you know; Frankie. Every word talks about her"
She smiled and waved to the crowd and then she stood in the middle of the stage, between Danny and me.
I looked at Tom and he nodded… And then we started… They were going to let me sing almost the whole song tonight, it was my turn to be a bad boyfriend, it was my turn to be evil. I looked at her and sand "Better run for cover, you are hurricane full of lies and the way you're heading no one's getting out alive…"
I kept singing and I felt the adrenaline rushing through my veins. She recognized the song and her face was confused, I was singing 'Lies' and every single word was dedicated to her, just as I had told her. I smiled when I sand 'the devil has his eyes on you girl' and she left the stage running. Danny started singing, I'd already done my part in the game, now it was all about fun, now I was completely free, I'd had my revenge and my heart was free from anger because I'd said everything I needed to say with a song in less than two minutes.
As soon as the show finished, I drove back home but when I entered, I felt that place wasn't my house anymore, it'd been intoxicated and I felt uncomfortable there. Besides, I couldnt sleep in that bed anymore, I couldnt even go to my room. I left again and went back to my car.
Ally's POV
About an hour ago, Susan called me from the kitchen and I run down the stairs thinking that she had cut his finger with a knife or something like that, but no, it wasn't about that, she was knelt down in front of the TV and I recognized Dougie's voice coming out of it.
"Dougie is singing Lies to her girlfriend LIVE!" she shouted smiling "They are so over!"
I still couldn't believe Dougie had done something like that; well, she definitely deserved it but still, I'd never imagined he could be so cruel, he'd humiliated her in front of half Britain or even more… Well, she'd done the same to him long ago, Tom had told me about it, about the pictures… I guess Dougie wanted revenge.
But it certainly was a surprise when he knocked in my door at about midnight. He was wearing the same clothes that in the show and he looked tired.
"Hi" I said "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I… I really cant go home"
"Why not?"
"I don't know, it's like if I still felt them there"
"Oh, them…"
"Yes, them…"
"Do you want to come in?"
He smiled "That'd be great, I'm actually quite cold"
I closed the door behind him and we looked at each other. Susan broke the ice when she came in asking who had come.
"Oh, hi, Dougie" she said smiling "We saw the show tonight… You sing really well"
"Thanks, Mrs. Heller"
"Call me Susan"
"Susan, please, could you give us a moment alone?"
"Sure, Ally" she winked at me and I hoped deeply in my heart Dougie didn't see that "Dougie, do you need somewhere to stay?"
"No, don't worry, I can go to Danny's…"
"You are also welcome here. Susan will seriously love to have you here."
"Well, actually…" he made a few steps closer to me "I would really like to stay… Here with you"
I smiled and blushed a little bit "I'll ask Susan about it"
I went upstairs to my parents' room; they weren't sleeping, Jackson was reading and Susan had her head in his shoulder, she was reading too… They were such a nice couple really, they hadn't lost the passion and I was hoping they'd never loose it, I liked them that way.
Susan almost jumped off the bed and ran to me smiling.
"And? What happened? Is he still downstairs?" she asked really fast.
"Yes, he's downstairs… He needs a place to stay, can he stay with us tonight?"
Susan jumped on the bed again and made a puppy face to his husband.
"Jackson, my love, can he stay please?"
He laughed "Of course he can stay… That's the one who's your boyfriend, right?"
"He's not my boyfriend, dad" I blushed and they looked at me surprised; I'd never called them 'dad' or 'mum', it just came out of my mouth.
"Hey, you've never called me mum, who's that fair?" Susan said hurt.
"I just— I'm sorry, I didn't even think about it"
"It's alright, Ally" Jackson said "You can call me dad if you want, remember you are part of our family now"
"Thanks" I smiled and looked down a little bit embarrassed; I'd never been lucky when it came to my family so that was why I'd never felt I fitted in this family, but little by little I learned to love them more and more, and maybe my luck was changing after all, maybe now I could really be part of a real family "I'll go downstairs"
Dougie was sitting in one of the living-room's couch. He stood up as soon as he saw me and smiled.
"So… Can I stay?" he said.
"Yes, but you'll have to sleep in my bed with me" I said and his face immediately went red. I laughed at him "I'm just kidding, there's a guest-room upstairs, come on"
Dougie sat on the bed and I kept my distance, I was only watching him from the door. I knew things between Frankie and him were finally over, but I still felt it was too soon for him, he wouldn't want to start another relationship right now, but at least I knew he wanted me for a future relationship and that was enough for now.
"Well, I'll go to my bedroom… You know where my room is, let me know if you need anything" I said.
I'd been lying in my bed for about two hours, it was about 2a.m. now, but I couldn't fall asleep knowing that Dougie was in the room at the end of the hallway. I stood up and walked to Eli's room. She was sleeping peacefully, breathing evenly. She was very special to me, my first and only little sister; she couldn't judge me, she couldn't be curious about my past, she couldn't even ask questions because she didn't know how to talk yet.
I heard a weird noise and turned quickly; Dougie was watching from the doorway, he again was wearing only boxers and he blushed when I saw him.
"Hi again" he said smiling.
