Sorry this took so long! I had some massive writer's block...lol Enjoy!


XX My POV XX

I'd been in the hospital for three days now and the doctors said I could finally leave tonight. All I wanted to do was get out of this place and be home in my own bed. More importantly, I wanted poor Dougie to get out of here. Don't get me wrong, having him there with me was amazing and helped so much. I just can't believe he lasted that long. He normally can't handle hospitals and well anything associated with them. Harry had been so stressed the past few days and he really needed a break. Apparently dad gave him a little hell when he went home. Hannah was surprisingly calm the whole time. I guess someone needed to be, but I know she was actually freaking out on the inside. I truly can't believe they all stayed. It was such a small room too. After a day or so Doug started staying in the bed with me, Hannah was somehow managing to sleep on the bench, and Harry slept on the chair in the corner which was very uncomfortable.

Also, Harry insisted that I stay at the band house so he can keep an eye on me. I have no idea how that made sense though, mum and dad could take care of me just fine and I had Hannah next door. I felt like I'd be a burden anyways. The band was finally taking off and they needed to focus on their work. But, at this point I wasn't going to fight him.

I was packing away all of the stuff Harry had brought for me while I was there. Then, Dougie came in and wrapped his arms around my waist, stitches and all. "Are you as ready to get out of here as me?" he asked and kissed my cheek.

"You have no idea…" I said and turned my head to look at him, which wasn't as easy as it sounded. My left ankle was in a small lime green cast and I was balancing, trying not to put pressure on it. I zipped up my bag and turned all the way around to face him. "I'm surprised you even lasted this long."

"I am too. But I'm not quite sure I knew where I was most of the time and it's finally hitting me…" he shivered a little and I just laughed.

Harry came walking in with some McDonald's bags. "Dinner is served!" he said as he set the bags down on the table. The hospital food was just awful, so Harry decided to pick something up for all of us.

"Oh thank god, I'm starving!" Hannah replied, getting up from the chair in the corner where she had been on the phone with Danny. "If I eat another hospital meal, I think I'll throw up."

We all grabbed our meals and to be completely honest, it tasted like heaven. It was kind of sad that I was saying that about McDonald's but it was true. Probably the best meal I had eaten all week. We devoured everything in what seemed like seconds.

Harry threw away all of our trash and turned back to us. "Well, are we ready to get the hell out of here? I've already signed you out and we can leave whenever."

"Well then, let's get going!" I said, probably a little too eagerly.

Harry grabbed my bags, Dougie handed me my crutches, and Hannah, well, she was there for moral support. Both Harry and Dougie offered to carry me to the car, but I shot them down. It was nice that they wanted to treat me like a princess, but I could still function by myself.

We pulled into the driveway filled with cars. Of course everyone was here. We made our way in and found everyone gathered in the living room. I probably was not going to be left alone. Emily and Zoey moved from where they were sitting on the sofa and let me sit down. Dougie came and sat next to me and Harry came over after putting my bags away.

"The spare bedroom is all set for you so you don't have to worry about the stairs," Zoey said with a smile.

"Thanks," I smiled back. I felt so awkward; like everyone was waiting for my every move. Zoey left the room to go help Tom, who was making their dinner. I had to stop this before it got too awkward. "Okay, look, I know you're all concerned and everything but you don't need to act like I'm made of glass or something. If I need something, trust me you'll know. Now can we just act like everything is normal?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment until Danny broke the silence. "Well someone is a little demanding…" he said in a, for the lack of a better word, gay tone. I couldn't handle it, I started cracking up and I just couldn't stop. Before I knew it, everyone else was laughing too. Laughing still hurt immensely, but I didn't really care. I was wincing from the pain but at the same time smiling and it was the best feeling in the world.

XX Dougie's POV XX

We had just finished watching a movie in the living room and it got really late really quickly. Everyone was still here and it didn't seem like anyone was going to leave. Tom and Zoey were the first ones to turn in for the night and they headed up to Tom's room almost as soon as the movie was over. Danny and Hannah went into the kitchen to have some tea before going to bed, so that left Emily, Harry, Erica, and I in the living room.

"Today sure has been a long day," Erica yawned. "I'm quite tired."

"Me too," Emily agreed. "I'm going to head to bed." She gave Harry a quick kiss and made her way to the bedroom.

"Well, would you like a lift to your room?" I stood up and offered for Erica to hop on my back.

"That would be lovely, thank you," she smiled. She hopped up and Harry stopped us just before we got out of the room.

"Dougie, I better see you come out of that room. Will you please humor me and sleep in your own room tonight? I'll be able to sleep soundly…" Harry stated.

"Sure thing!" I said back and headed to drop her off.

Xxxxxx

I waited in my room until I knew Harry had gone to bed and then made my way to the spare bedroom. It wouldn't hurt to pay her a visit.

I crept down the hall and opened the door quietly. She was sitting up in bed reading a book, the only light in the room was the bedside lamp.

"Dougie, what are you doing here?" she said in a hushed tone.

"It's nice to see you too," I joked and closed the door quietly.

She closed her book and set it on the table, then patted the spot in the bed next to her signaling me to come over. "How did I know you'd end up in here at some point?" she said and pressed her lips to my cheek.

We scooted down in the bed and I pulled her into my arms. Her head was nestled on my chest and it was the best feeling in the world. "It's so nice to be back home," I said and kissed her forehead. Before we knew it we were both fast asleep and that lamp was still on.

I climbed into bed with Emily and I thought for a second. "How much you wanna bet Dougie's already snuck into that bedroom?" I asked.

"Oh, quit worrying about those two. They're fine, they're not going to do anything stupid…" she tried to reassure me.

"You think so? It's just…I don't…ughh I don't even know anymore. It's just instinct."

"You really need to relax and put them out of your mind for a little while," she said and pulled me farther down in the bed. She had a rather seductive smile on her face.

"I think I truly would go insane if you weren't here," I said and started to kiss her. I was kissing her neck when she started to tug on my shirt. I pulled it off and she pulled of hers.

She started kissing me and said between each one, "You're such a little hypocrite."

I just laughed and said, "I'm a horrible brother aren't I?"

"Just absolutely awful," she smiled back at me.

I pulled her back down, both our breathing getting heavier and heavier. I felt so guilty about doing this, but that feeling went away in seconds as Emily started to tug at my shorts too. I gave in and she pulled them off. I slipped hers off too and our clothes were just a pile on the floor. It was just her, me, and the covers and I had lost all the guilty feelings I had before.
