FLOYNTERxxx - haha, its not too bad really. we're working on promoting a dance compilation album for a record company, and all my team are really motivated in it, so i'm kinda hoping i can bunk off a bit and do the barest minimum cause i'm not really into that type of music... or into working for nothing unless we get in the top 4 groups! xD i'll probably be able to add once a day still by the looks of things, and because i don't have to be in constantly i'll still be able to do write and everything, so its currently looking good!

Me and Dougie finally caught up with Danny in Toms room, watching him relax and his eyes fill with love. Tom did look cute admittedly, laying under his Disneyland blanket, surrounded by a toy army, Mickey Mouse under his arm. "aw! Did you do that?" Danny asked, indicating the toys. "we did it together. As you know, Tom doesn't like being on his own in the dark, but he didn't want to have me on the floor with him. So we set out the toys, so he isn't alone, and so the aliens in the dark can't get him." Carrie explained, smiling at her brother.
"aw! Why didn't turn the TV on then?" Danny looked momentarily confused. "that was your thing you did together, Tom doesn't like being reminded of that." Carrie explained, letting Danny go in and put a pillow under his head, tucking his fringe behind his ear. "he's so little." Danny whispered, biting on his nails, almost staring at Toms bony frame. "well, we have been feeding him, so he should be gaining weight." I replied, because we had been giving Tom food, surely he would be gaining at least a bit of weight, right?
"he's not been eating much, but he has been eating, I know he has." Carrie sighed, fiddling with the blanket. "we know he has, I guess its just taking a while to show on him." I suggested, because, how else would Tom be so skinny? His jumper looked like it was several sizes too big for him, the blanket not really helping with making him look normal sized, it just slumped against him, highlighting his tiny frame. "yeah maybe, look, I'll keep an eye on him. You guys better get going, before Tom wakes up, he will not be happy to see you here." Carrie sighed, standing up. Danny whimpered, but followed us out, glancing back at Tom every few seconds, like he would wake up as he walked out.
"so, has he been okay today? Please tell me he has been!" Danny asked the second we were downstairs, practically bouncing on the spot in worry. "yeah, he's been fine. Little teary, but you know, can't really expect anything else. Got a bit of a smile though, which is a start." Carrie shrugged, Dannys jaw dropped. "he smiled?! How the hell did you manage that?!" I jumped in before he did. "well about an hour or two after I gave him that antidepressant, we were both watching the Disney Channel and he smiled a little when they said Ferb Fletcher." Carrie explained, smiling a little herself. "yes! At least thats something, I just wish I could have been there to see it." Danny grinned, chewing on his nails at the same time, showing he was actually disappointed that he missed Tom smiling.

"well, I think we should be getting a move on now, can we come back tomorrow to see Tom or not?" Harry broke the silence, none of us really knowing what to say to now. Danny just looked upset because he missed Tom smile, and he hadn't been the once to set off that smile. "er, I'll text you again, we'll have to wait and see what he's like in the morning." Carrie answered, picking at her nail varnish.
"alright, we'll be seeing you hopefully tomorrow then." Danny sighed, he clearly wanted to stay, and not have to wait to see Tom again, sneaking around the house so we didn't freak him out. "yeah, I'll be seeing you guys around. I'll keep you updated throughout the day." Carrie led us to the door. "thanks for that, and this evening. It means a lot, though it was a bit worrying with his weight." Danny smiled a little, copying Tom by chewing on his sleeve. I grabbed his hand, yanking it from his mouth before there was another whole in their sleeves...at this rate, between Tom and Danny, they weren't going to have any sleeves left!
"I'll keep an eye on him, don't worry." Carrie gave us a smile back, Danny relaxed a little. "thanks, as long as someone keeps an eye on him." He sighed, letting us put our arms around him, for a bit of comfort. "I will, have no doubts that I will make sure that Toms eating, and that he isn't going to hurt himself. I'll keep him out of harms way for you until you can talk this all out." Carrie reassured, closing the door, leaving us all to wander back down the road to Dannys house.
The poor guy flopped onto the sofa and curled up there, looking exhausted, about to pass out. "Dan, you alright?" I asked first, sitting down next to him. "yeah, I'm fine Dougs. Just worried, as usual." Danny smiled a bit, closing his eyes. "you sure?" Harry pushed a bit, holding onto my hand, like it would make me feel better. "yeah, don't worry about me. Just need to stop worrying and find a way to sleep for a few hours." Danny sighed, "I'm so tired, I just need a few hours rest I think." He continued, promptly managing to fall asleep.
"are we leaving him here or what?" I whispered, not wanting to just leave Danny here, by himself. "no, we'll stay too, just in case. I'm going to take him to bed, you go to the spare room, we'll sleep there." Harry gave me a quick kiss on the forehead, before carefully picking Danny up and taking him to his own room.
Me and Harry went to bed quickly afterwards ourselves, falling asleep in the spare room like Harry had said, being woken up in the middle of the night when Danny got into bed too, weakly crying in our arms for hours after another nightmare.
