Harry's POV:
Once I'd finished talking to Tom, he and Danny took Dougie up to our bedroom while I went off to the toilet. Once I got in, I locked myself in a cubicle and let the tears that I'd been holding flow out of my eyes. I sat curled up on the seat of the toilet, knees pulled up to my chest and hands against my face. I don't know how long I sat crying for, although I'd guess it was quite a while, before I heard a knocking on the door.
'Haz? Hazza is that you?' I heard Danny's soft voice ask.
'What do you want Dan?' I asked in reply, sighing slightly as my silence had been disturbed.
'What's the matter? I can tell you're crying. Why are you crying?' He asked sadly through the door. I instantly felt bad, I knew that he hated seeing people upset, it hurt him. I stood up from where I was sat and opened the door to a sad looking Danny.
'I'm sorry Dan.' I said quietly, pulling my brother into a hug and squeezing tightly.
'It's okay. But why are you crying Haz? I don't think I've ever seen you cry before... Not more than twice anyway!' He replied, still holding me tight and refusing to let go.
'Just thinking about Mum and Dad..' I whispered back to him. I felt his hands begin to tremble behind my back.
'Why are you thinking about them? We agreed that they were nothing to us anymore... They're gone anyway. Please don't let them upset you! You got through everything that happened with them and now you're so strong and happy and I hate seeing you upset. I really really hate it! I hate being the youngest and not being able to fully understand what went on! I hate the fact that I can never cheer you and Tom up because you're older and wiser. I wish there was more I could do for you both, I wish I could look after you two like you looked after me but I can't, all I can do is try to make you happy. So when you're sad, it means I've failed at the only thing I've ever been able to do, and it makes me feel useless, and I hate it... That's why I love having little Dougs around so much! If he's ever sad or poorly, everything I do seems to cheer him up, and hearing him giggle after he's been so upset and knowing that I've finally made somebody feel better is the best feeling ever..' Danny replied to me in a long string of fast spoken words. By the end of his little rant, he was shaking with sobs and tears were running down his face
'Oh Dan... Don't you ever think like that! Me and Tom love you more than anybody else in the world! You're our little brother and although you're the youngest, we wouldn't be anywhere near as happy as we are now without you. Without your help, I couldn't have gotten through everything with mum and dad, so don't you think like that ever again! You mean so much to us Dan! I love you, you know that?' I said supportively back to him, rubbing his back.
'R-Really? I-I really h-help?' He asked unsurely, pulling away from the hug and looking up at me.
'Of course you do Dan! You're the reason me and Tom smile every day!'
'I love you Harry!' Danny replied to me, pulling me into a hug again.
'I love you too Dan. Now come on, lets go and see Dougs and Tom!' I said to him, pulling away and wiping away both mine and his tears. He nodded and so we headed out of the bathroom and went into our room. When we got in we were greeted by the sight of Dougie sat cross legged in the middle of a huge bed, singing, whilst Tom was sat on a small chair reading a book.
'Oh hey guys! Are you okay Harry?' Tom asked once he saw us. I smiled and nodded at him, receiving a grin from him in reply. Dougie chose that moment to stop singing and speak up.
'Hawwy! Danny! You see woom? It smell like chocolate!' He squealed in excitement.
'I know Dougs! How cool is this?!' I replied happily to him. He nodded before going on to sing another random song that he'd made up, that had something to do with chocolate and pirates. We sat talking for a little while before we decided to go downstairs and have dinner, so that we could get Dougie in bed early. We went into the pirate themed restaurant and Dougie spent the first 15 minutes drawing on a napkin, showing off to Danny how well he could draw pirate ships. Finally, he decided what he wanted to eat and wolfed it down when it arrived. We got back to our room after about an hour downstairs and Dougie went mad. He was running around our room, picking up all of the different assortments of chocolate and eating them without a seconds thought. After what must have been over half his body weight in chocolate, he finally stopped. We tucked him into bed and he lay there looking sad.
'Whats the matter Dougs?' Danny asked, noticing the down-hearted look on Dougie's face.
'I feel poorly..' He muttered, rolling over and holding his stomach.
'Well do you want to sleep in my bed, because it's closer to the bathroom, and then if you feel like you're going to be sick, you can just tell me?' Danny asked, gently stroking Dougie's fringe. Dougie did a slight nod and so Danny picked him up and lay him in the bed closest to the bathroom, climbing in beside him and holding him close. Dougie snuggled into his side and wrapped his hands around Danny's arm.
'I wuv you Danny.' He muttered sweetly into Danny's side, before allowing his eyes to flutter shut and falling into a heavy sleep. He stayed asleep for a mere 20 minutes before waking up and tapping Danny on the arm.
'My tummy hurts..' He mumbled.
'Do you feel like you're going to be sick?' Danny asked softly in reply, concern lacing his voice. Dougie nodded and so Danny carried him into the bathroom. Me and Tom stayed where we were but we could hear the sounds of Dougie vomiting and Danny soothing him. Danny emerged from the bathroom around 10 minutes later with a sleeping Dougie in his arms.
'Is he okay?' Tom whispered to Danny once he'd gotten back in bed with Dougie by his side.
'Yeah.. He was sick like 4 times but I think he'll be fine. I think it was just all that chocolate he ate, there's no way his body could hold that.'
'I bet you're right. You've done really well with Dougie, Dan. I'm proud of you.' Tom smiled at our little brother, which made Danny beam with pride.
'Thank you Tom... I'm going to go to sleep as well now, I'll see you tomorrow.' Danny replied, still looking over-the-moon, before slowly falling to sleep, preparing for the day to come.
