Unlikely Lovers

Chapter 7

The group have left the outside area and gone to the blackbox theatre. Damian sits with his back against the wall. The rest of the groups are either on the floor near him or on a chair.

Perrie: are you ok damo?

He shakes his head pulling his sleeves down.

Perrie: that song was about you wasn't it

He nods not making eye contact with any of them. They all see his eyes are starting to water again.

Perrie: we're sorry Damo, we really are. Me the most, you tried to warn me about how Cole was but i told you was jealous. I'm sorry i ever said that to you, i wish i had listened.

Damian: are you sorry because you didn't listen or sorry because you saw that my warning was right?

All of them hear the pain and sadness in his voice.

Perrie: both, i should have listened to you.

Damian: you should've. sometimes i'm an asshole and get things wrong, but i also know things that others don't.

He finally looks up at them to see they all look confused.

Beck: what do you mean?

Damian: who do you think gave you all those warnings when people were looking for you, when that phsyco girls was after Tori or those messages about Cole. You think that was just some random person?

They all get looks of realisation.

Damian: you may have hurt me in more ways than one, but i didn't want any of you to feel that same pain. Seeing Perrie cry earlier made me angry to the point i let my anger come out, i should've done it sooner.

He punches the wall behind him leaving a crack the brick. Perrie hugs him catching him off guard. He hugs back.

Perrie: none of us expect you to forgive us for what we have done but we're sorry.

Damian: i know Pez, i know.

He outs his head in the crook of her neck.

Damian: i needed this.

Perrie: i know Damo, i know.

Jade: i think there is still time for another song Damo, if you have another one.

Damian: you know i do Jade
