Tom had gotten up to go and had gone to get some coffee after one and bit hours, and Danny had taken Tom's seat within two seconds and was now gently rubbing Dougies's soft, right hand. Thankfully, Dougie was still asleep or he would properly pull away and say that he was 'so gay'. Harry looked over at the machine as his friend's blood was being run through it and then being put back into his vain.

They were all just happy he wasn't in pain right now.

Danny sighed and looked back at Doug, and ran his hand through his friends blond locks, "I can't believe this is happening. I feel so helpless just sitting here, I wish we could do something."

"I now, but he will be fine. His moms on his way so that should he good for him." Harry said.

Danny suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, "Are you alright?"

He turned around to face Tom, "I'm okay, I'm just worried about him." noding in agreement and motioned towards their friend, "Is he still asleep?"

Harry nodded as Tom sat back down in a seat and reached out and began running his fingers through Dougs hair just as someone else had done looked at Harry and saw a tear running down his cheek, "We have to believe that he will be okay."

"I now."

When Dougie woke up he was in the worst pain of his life. His arm felt like it was burning and it felt like he was being drained of his blood some how, he felt his hand being held, he didn't know who it was and at the moment he didn't really care he just squeezed it as hard as he could.

He opened his eyes and a blurry woman was standing above him. "Hey baby. It's okay, mum's here. Just sleep and I will be here when you wake up."

That made it relax back to sleep as he was getting stroked by his mother and he could hair his best friends talking.

"Ow," Dougie nearly yelled out. He didn't even no he was doing it untill he could heard and feel him doing it.

Suddenly when Tom's hand was nearly squeezed off, he looked down at his friend and saw that he had his eyes squeezed shut giving away that he was awake and in pain once again. Panic!

"Dougie,hey! Its okay, Your mum and us guys are all here buddy. Hang in there," Tom said softly into his ear.

"It hurts!" He said through clenched teeth as his mum put his hand on Doug's shoulder.

"Its okay buddy That means you're almost done, hang in there little guy" Danny said as he looked at the horrible machine, it was beeping and flashing the time left, 1:45, 1:44. "Hang in there bud, less than two minutes to go."

He gripped his hand till it crapped, and Danny gripped his friend's shoulder with all his might just to keep him from moving.

Harry was closest to his head so he kept whispering, "Hang in done. Just don't move your arms buddy, please Doug, you have to stay still,"

Just when the boys thought they couldn't take anymore the machine beeped and went then went silence and Nick finally relaxed into his brothers arms. His breaths were more like gaps and hiccups but he was still a lot calmer than before.

"Thank god it finally over" Dougsaid as he rubbed his moms arm that rested on his. "I'm glad your here mum. She smiled and rubbed her tears away.

"Yea. Same. I have missed you."

"Are you alright?" a voice asked from the other side of the chair, Danny.

"I think so."

All three boys looked up as one to see Nurse Parker standing by the machine concern on her face, she hated giving dialysis to someone so young.

Dougie sniffed and smiled as he said, "I'm just glad it's over."

"Hey buddy." Sam, Dougie's mum said, giving her boy a sad smile.

"Hey mommy." He smiled and moved into the loving hand.

That made the boys laugh a little because how much he changed in like a second.
