10 Dannys POV
"why didn't you tell me Tom has been texting you? I have been going out of my mind with worry for him and you didn't tell me he is at least okay?" I shouted, breaking down into tears, I didn't mean to shout that loudly at Carrie, but when I found out she was lying to me about Tom, I got so angry. I had never been so emotional in my life, I cried at the drop of a hat at the moment, ever since Toms disappearance I had been so emotional. It made me realise how much I needed him, he actually kept me together, and kept me smiling, I was nothing without him.
"I'm sorry! But he begged me to never tell anyone, okay? He has begged me, over and over, to not tell anyone!" Carrie cried, sliding down the wall next to me. "but why doesn't he want us to know?" Harry asked, holding my hand as I fell onto his shoulder, whimpering for my lost lover. "I don't know, he won't tell me! He won't tell me anything!" Carrie whispered, leaning on me. "but why won't he tell anyone anything? Why can't he tell us at least something?!" I wailed, squeezing Carrie close, knowing she was the closest thing I had to Tom. "I don't know! I've begged him to go home to you guys so many times! He refuses to though!" Carrie explained, and my heart shattered.
Tom didn't want to come home, he really didn't want to come home. My shattered heart plummeted to the floor, the already shattered pieces breaking even more, making it impossible to rebuild. "he, refused to c-come home?" Dougie paled considerably, eyes wide with fear. "yeah, he doesn't want to come back, and he won't tell me why!" Carrie nodded, gripping onto my shirt. "Carrie, beg him, please, beg him. Get it out of him why he doesn't want to come home!" I pleaded, needing to know why at least Tom didn't want to come home! I thought he had been happy, and was just worrying about something, like he usually was. How could I have not pushed until I got what was wrong out of him?
Flashback 1st May 2010
"hey, Tom, whats up?" I asked, sliding onto the sofa, kissing his cheek. "the sky." Tom quipped, smiling shyly as I kissed him. "yes the sky, but whats up with you? Your not hanging out with the rest of us, and I haven't seen you eat for 3 days." I rolled my eyes, knowing the signs when Tom was worrying about something. "I'm fine, just a little tired." Toms usual excuse, something was up then. "really? You've slept in every day this week! Come on, whats really wrong?" I pushed, stroking his arm gently. "you really wanna know?" Tom sighed, leaning his head on my shoulder. "yeah, I wanna know. Your my boyfriend, I wanna know whats up with you! I always wanna see my Tom happy, but at the moment, your not my Tommy TomTom!" I giggled, making him smile some more.
"alright, look, I saw this tag on twitter, and it said, 'feed Tom' talking about me. Am I really that thin? Cause I thought I was alright, and well, not fat." Tom bit his lip, grabbing my hand and playing with our fingers. "oh Tom, your fine as you are. Your perfect to me, completely perfect to me. Your not too thin, and not too fat, your perfect. Stop worrying!" I kissed his hair, Tom always took everything to heart. "you really think that?" Tom looked to me with doe eyes. "yep, 100% believe that your perfect." I smiled, squeezing his fingers. "promise to stay with me, no matter what I look like?" Tom whispered. "I promise, I will stay with you through everything." I grinned, making him grin too.
11 Dougies POV
If we had thought Danny was depressed before, we hadn't seen anything yet, he really got depressed over the next few days, barely eating or sleeping, or doing anything. He was sure that Tom wasn't coming home now, and he had left us for good. To be honest, I thought the same thing, and to me, the pain was unbearable, I dreaded to think how Danny felt. Every morning, we always found him in Toms front room, in the middle of the floor, crying and hugging Marvin. And every day, we would look somewhere else for Tom, searching through half of London, not ever finding a trace of him.
"do you miss your daddy Marvin? Cause I miss your daddy, all the time, do you know where he is?" Danny asked, cuddling the ginger cat close. Marvin just meowed at him, somehow also looking depressed for his lost owner, "we'll find him Marvin, don't worry, we'll find him, he might not want to come back here, but we'll give you to him. I bet he misses you, more than he misses us, he loves you more than anything." Danny sniffed, cradling the cat like Tom would have, pressing his face into his fur.
"Danny, I know he misses us too, you've got to stop putting yourself down like this." Harry sighed, he was the only one who thought Tom was coming back and actually would come back willingly. I admired his hope, but I knew it was just a front for us, to keep up strong. "but if he missed us, he would have come home! And he isn't home! He doesn't want to come home, and he doesn't miss us!" Danny cried, letting those tears out, letting go of the cat.
"of course he misses us Danny! Don't be so silly! He'll come home when he is ready, and he obviously isn't ready yet! Just give it a little more time!" Harry tried, holding Danny close as he broke down into tears. "no he doesn't miss us! We would have gotten a text or something by now! He misses Carrie, not us, he doesn't care about us anymore! And why should he? I was a sh*t boyfriend, and didn't even try properly to get him to talk to me, no wonder he f*cking run off, I didn't treat him like I should have." Danny growled, getting up and running off outside. "Danny wait!" the both of us shouted, running off after him down the road and into his house, following his footsteps to his room, hearing the door slam and hysterical sobs.
