Chapter 8
"She is absolutely beautiful" Alyssa smiled. "Yeah I really love having her here" I looked at Elisabeth who was playing with Harry. "Isn't Dougie coming?" Harry asked. "If he does then take Elisabeth out of here. I don't want her to see me beating him up" I drew small circles on the table. "What happened?" Alyssa asked. "I asked him where we were going, he said that he doesn't want to lock on to one girl and that maybe we needed to have a break" I sighed. "That boy is so ignorant" Harry mumbled. "All the others are coming over soon, properly also Dougie" Alyssa said. "Well I will just punch him when nobody is around" I sighed. There was a knock on the door. Harry opened it and Danny walked in. "Hey I heard about you and Dougie are you okay?" he asked. I nodded. "Thanks" I smiled. Elisabeth ran over and grabbed a hold of my leg. "Danny this is my niece Elisabeth" I looked at him. He got down on his knees. "Would you like to play tea party with me?" he asked. She nodded and grabbed his hand. They walked outside. I laughed. Tom and Gio were the next to arrive. They had also heard about me and Dougie. Giovanna and Alyssa pulled me with them to the kitchen. "How are you holding up?" they asked. "Terrible but I have to stay strong for Elisabeth" I smiled. The door opened and closed and I felt a knot in my stomach. "Can I talk to you?" Dougie asked and looked at me. "No and stay away from me" I rushed outside. "Are you okay?" Danny asked. I shook my head. "Elisabeth run inside and talk to Tom, I am sure he has some fun things to tell you" he smiled at her. She did as she was told and ran inside. Danny walked over to me. "Want to talk about it?" he asked. "I don't think you are the right one to talk to about this" I smiled a little. "Come on we can be friends" he smiled. "Dougie and I broke up because he doesn't want to lock on one girl" I leaned against the wall. "Then he is the idiot" Danny smiled. "Danny I love Dougie but I am just so tired of this" I sighed. "It will be okay" he smiled. I sighed and walked inside again.
Dinner was alright apart for the fact that Dougie and I kept having eye contact. Elisabeth fell asleep on the couch. "I want to talk to you before I go home" Dougie said to me. I looked desperate at Alyssa and Harry. "Sorry love" Alyssa pushed me outside with Dougie. "What could you possibly have to say to me?" I looked at him. "I don't want things to end between us, you make me happy" he said. "But not enough to be exclusive with me?" I looked him in the eyes. "Of course, I just got scared" he sighed. "I just think it is too late now Dougie" I sighed. "Come on I love you Hayley" He grabbed my hand. "Friends nothing more" I sighed. He looked me in the eyes. "You are welcome to come over tomorrow and hang out with Elisabeth" I walked inside. Alyssa looked at me. "That was the hardest I have ever done" I picked up Elisabeth. "I will see you guys" I said as I walked home.
