A/N = Hiyaaa

Of course I didn't forget about you! :D

It just took me a long time to find inspiration to write again.

My exams start tomorrow! :O

So the next chapter will probably take a little longer than usual...

Im really sorry, also for the fact that this add is kinda sloppy... I just really wanted to have a new chapter for you, but it isn't the best I've ever written...

Well anyway, I hope you enjoy.

I thought I'd do another Rick's POV again, seeing how you all seemed to enjoy it :)

Enjoy and please let me know what you thought!

Chapter 44

Rick's POV

Last night me and Jared had been in a fight. I had tried to talk to him calmly, telling him that he shouldn't be so harsh on Dougie, because Dougie wasn't taking it all so well. Jared had grunted at me irritated that he didn't care about how Dougie was taking it, and that Dougie deserved to be treated the way he was. I had tried to talk some sense into him, but Jared would have none of it and in the end we ended up screaming at each other. I hadn't even gotten the time to tell him that I was going out today. I'd already thought of a plan though. I'd rewind the camera tape, so all they could see was whatever the boys were doing yesterday afternoon around that time. That way they couldn't see me on the camera, and the idiotes they are wouldn't notice anyway. Then I'd tell them I'd go to the city to get some groceries. We actually were kinda short on food, so it wasn't a bad idea to go to the supermarket. I was only going to stay for like 15 minutes at most with the boys. I just wanted to make sure they almost have the money ready, and I'd tell them to hurry up. I was sick and tired of watching their bandmate suffer, because of three idiotes, among which my so-called friend, who I thought I could trust but now was having doubts about.

I really hoped Jeff and David wouldn't hurt Dougie when I was away. I think Jared wouldn't bother to go to Dougie in the time I was away. It wasn't like he was out to hurt Dougie just for no reason. He just didn't like it when Dougie disobeys him or gets really frightened. Jeff and David on the other hand were crazy maniacs. They were absolutely messed up in the head from all the running from the police. One of the reasons they were being hunted by the police was because of a series of cases of rape. That gives me reason enough to be worried about leaving them with Dougie for an hour or two. I didn't get a chance to talk them yesterday, because they were outside doing something god knows what.

I stood in the dooropening to Dougie's room, watching him sleep peacefully, laying on his stomach. I was a bit worried about the wounds on his back still. Maybe later I'd have to look at them closer again. It seemed to still sting a lot. I couldn't believe Jared had lost it like that. I thought he was just going to have a nasty word with Dougie after the whole incident in the forest, so I had just gone upstairs, not thinking twice about what Jared might do. After I saw what he had actually done I'd felt incredibly guilty, also for hurting his blond friend by strangling him. But I did that purely because I didn't want Jared to actually have to shoot someone. But what Jared did was completely unnecessairy.

It was almost noon already, when I decided to wake Dougie up. When I entered the room and flicked the light on I saw he had rolled himself into a foster position now, facing the wall. So his sleep hadn't been that deep then. That was good, it meant he wasn't that weak that he needed so much sleep.

'Dougie?' I asked, and by the way his body tensed I guessed he was already awake. He didn't answer me though and pretended to still be asleep. I kneeled down next to him and softly tapped his shoulder. He tensed up even more and slowly turned his head a bit to look at me. He looked relieved when he saw I was the one who was waking him up.

'It's time to get up, it's almost noon already.' I explained, after releasing the shackle around his ankle, and I helped him get to his feet, Dougie not saying a word to me. That was fine by me, and I held him by his arm to support him when necessairy while I lead him from his room to the bathroom. I gave him 30 minutes, then lead him freshly showered, with still wet hair back to his room. He reluctantly at the breakfast I made for him and stayed silent the whole time, even when I asked him how he felt, he just shrugged. It seemed like his body had gone into a numb state. Maybe it was due to the fact I had let him sleep in so long. Still it kind of worried me.

Tom's POV

It was 2 pm when the last bank on our list of banks in England hung up the phone after denying us three million dollars. I cried out frustrated and heard Danny and Harry do the same. This was the last bank we could find.

'It is just fucking hopeless!' I cried out loud. 'What the hell are we supposed to do now?'

Danny had his hands in his hair and seemed to be biting his lip in frustration. Harry banged the table with his fist.

'This is unbelievable. There has to be a way to get 3 million dollars...' He sighed.

Suddenly my phone lit up, notifying me that I had a new text message. My breath hitched in my throat.

Fletch.

Good or bad news? What do you think?

Come on, 240 people! REVIEW! :D
