356 Dougies POV

The shouting stopped from upstairs, and I got so worried, wanted desperately to know if Tom and Danny were making up yet or not. Or if they had killed each other, or something I didn't even want to think about. "whats happening?" I whispered, scared that somehow Tom and Danny would hear me. "I don't know...they're talking." Carrie whispered back, leaning through the banister, looking through to Toms room discreetly. "good, anything else?" Harry asked, holding onto my sides to stop me from running upstairs to listen for myself.

"no, not yet! Now shhh!" Carrie shook her head, turning to face Toms room again. We waited in anticipation for more news, trying to watch Carries reactions to the apparent silence. She smiled as Danny walked out, the both of them coming back downstairs again. "what happened?! Whats going on?!" I asked first, trying to work it out just by looking at Dannys face. "still doesn't like us, still thinks he's worthless, but not going anywhere." Danny sighed, flopping onto the sofa, like that conversation had taken everything out of him. "what do you mean not going anywhere?" I asked, Tom hadn't been planning on going somewhere, had he? "well, he was packing his suitcase again, wanting to leave. But I've just about managed to convince him to stay. And thats about it really." Danny explained, sighing loudly again. "do you think he would have gone?" Harry pulled me closer to him, like he could sense that I was getting really worried.

"yeah, I do. Or at least tried anyway." Danny nodded, I whimpered loudly. "I would have stopped him, don't worry. I'll lock the doors and windows though, just in case." Carrie managed a soft smile, sitting down on the sofa too, leaving me and Harry to stand and hold each other. "thanks, I can't believe we're doing this again." Danny sighed, slouching even further into the sofa, like he was slowly deflating. "I know, but, we won't have to once we've sorted this out and got you back together again, it'll be fine. Tom won't want to run away again, I'm sure." Harry reassured, tugging on my tshirt until it was straight, one of his nervous ticks he had when there were no drumsticks to play with.

"I hope so, but getting Tom to listen properly is so hard. His self esteem is so low he can't bring himself to believe that he's actually loved." Danny whimpered, playing with the key again, "and at this rate, I will never be giving him this key." He continued, looking so worried again. "you will Danny, you'll give him the key at some point. We can get through this, I know we will, we'll get through this. But at the moment, we have to keep our spirits high, and just try and get through today. Remember, we're going out today, so at least you'll be holding hands and stuff." Harry tried to cheer him up, it didn't seem to work. "I don't want to go out today. And it'll be a lie of a relationship again, and that hurts so much." Danny shook his head, his eyes tearing up.

"well, we don't have to go out, we have a few days or so off after today, guess we can say one of us is ill or something." Harry suggested, leaning his head on my shoulder, letting me grip onto his arms. "alright, we can have today off. That would be nice. To cook up an idea, or something, that could sort this out." Danny mumbled, falling onto his side on the sofa, curling up. "exactly, I'll go phone Tommy and tell him. He probably won't be too happy, but, it'll be worth it." Harry let me go and went to phone Tommy, leaving me to stand awkwardly on my own, until I sat down by Dannys feet, not sure what else to do.

I sighed as I hung up from my phone call with Tommy. He wasn't happy that we weren't coming in, but he understood at the same time that we had a few problems we needed to work through. So while me, Danny and Dougie plotted a way to get Tom to actually believe that he was loved, Carrie went upstairs to sit with Tom for a while, so he wasn't still alone after his and Dannys talk. "should we try to get him to talk with us, or just hang out, without anyone else around?" Dougie suggested, stroking his lizard toy, like it was one of his iguanas.

"yeah, maybe that could work." Danny agreed, laying down on our laps, he usually wouldn't have, especially not at a time like this, but I guess he just really needed to feel someone next to him. "should we try now?" Dougie asked, looking up to me like I knew all the answers. "no, maybe not. Maybe wait until tomorrow. Let Tom cool down, he was quite emotional by what you told us." I advised, fiddling with Dannys hair a bit, not really knowing what to do with the hand that wasn't wrapped around Dougies middle.

"yeah, probably a good idea. I guess we could have a song writing day tomorrow." Danny agreed again, staring blankly at the TV, not really taking in what was going on. "yeah, alright. We'll get him round yours and do some song writing, and hopefully get Tom to believe that we do love him." I smiled, hearing footsteps on the stairs. We all looked round to see Tom and Carrie wander downstairs, wandering outside to do…something. Though, I had no idea what they were doing. "I wanna hug him." Danny whimpered, almost inaudibly, as the back door closed.

"not the best idea Dan, just wait until you've sorted yourselves out." I advised again, keeping a hand on his side to keep him from running after them. "yeah, I know. I just miss him so much and I want to help, but I know I'll make things worse." Danny flopped back on top of us, looking so guilty. "we all miss him, but we'll manage it somehow, we'll get him back soon." I encouraged, tracing patterns over Dannys shoulder to calm him a little. "yeah, we'll talk tomorrow, that'll work, we'll talk tomorrow." Danny sighed, calming the panicked look on his face a bit.

We spent the rest of the day at Toms, though he didn't really come into whichever room we were in, he stayed with Carrie either outside, or in the music room upstairs. We left them to it, not wanting to upset Tom more than he already was, none of us wanted to push ourselves onto him, make him want to run away. Danny had only just convinced him to stay, we didn't want to push him into leaving. We only went up when it got to about the time we should be leaving, going upstairs carefully just to say goodbye.

We were greeted by a medium size lump of duvet on the floor, in the shape of the Fletcher siblings. "hey, we're going to go now, before one of us falls asleep on the sofa." I tried to tease, it didn't really work, trying to ignore that it was a bit weird to hide like this under a duvet. "alright see you guys tomorrow. You have a day off, don't you?" Carrie popped her head out of the duvet, Tom kept his head inside. "yeah, we do. But we were thinking of doing some song writing or something. So, don't suppose you could come round too? So we can all write together." Danny answered, looking hopeful even as Tom whimpered from under his duvet. "yeah, we'll be round tomorrow. No worries." Carrie smiled, waving as we moved back downstairs.
