Gary Barlow X Y/n- All the extras

Should i stay or should i go

-this is set before you and Gary get together.

You and the rest of the boys sat in the meeting room staring at Robbie. Gary cleared his throat and nodded.
"Fine.. if you want to go then go"
"Yous won't last without me"
"Well I'll take my chances Rob.. you are the one that wants to leave.. nothings stopping you"
Robbie looked at you and sighed.
"Are you coming"
"Rob I.."
"Forget it.. message received loud and clear"
You followed him out the door and grabbed his wrist.
"Don't do this.. you love this band"
"No I don't.. you do"
He walked away without a second thought. You walked back into the meeting room and sighed.
"I tried"
Gary shook his head and scoffed.
"Right well, that's that then.. we need to get back to work"
"Gary.. it's okay to be mad about this"
"I'm not mad.. Rob hadn't been pulling his weight for a while.. we have a tour to finish"
You placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a light smile.
"I'm sorry.. I should have convinced him to stay"
"It doesn't matter.. you have a choice to make, stay or go.. it's him or us y/n"
"Gary i.. yous are like my family.. I can't make that decision"
"I'm sorry but you're going to have to"
You drove home and thought about your decision.
Throughout the week you helped the boys to prepare for the tour. The big show came. You all walked out. Everyone except Gary. You got Mark to keep the crowd occupied as you made your way to Gary's dressing room. You saw him sat rocking back and forth on the sofa. You ran to his side and held his hand.
"What's going on with you"
"I can't do it.. I can't rap.. I can't do Robbie's parts"
"Yes you can.. Gary it's okay"
"No it's not.. they are going to hate it, all that hard work for nothing"
"Hey look at me.. those fans love you, I'm here Gaz"
"Promise you'll stay"
"Gary I'm here it's okay"
"No I mean stay.. don't leave us for Robbie.. don't leave me"
"Okay I promise.. hey look at me, I choose you Gaz"
He nodded and smiled at you.
"I need you y/n.. you're.. you're my best friend"
"And your mine Gary, I'm not going anywhere.. now let's give them a show they'll never forget"
"Yeah okay.. I can do this"
"You're Gary Barlow.. of course you can do this"
You walked out on stage and apologised to the crowd saying you had forgotten your pick. You and the boys gave them a brilliant show and went out for drinks after. Gary sat beside you and handed you a wine.
"On me"
"Gary you didn't have to do that"
"Yes I did.. I wanted to thank you for tonight, I wouldn't have been able to do it without you"
"I meant what I said.. I want to stay"
"And Robbie"
"I have to speak to him.. but he'll know that it doesn't mean anything, it's not like I'm turning my back on him or anything"
"Yeah.. y/n did you ever.. never mind"
"Gary what is it"
"Did you ever think on getting with anyone else"
"I don't know really.. me and Robbie we happened so fast.. why"
"I erm.. no reason must be the drink getting to my head"
You smiled and looked at your watch.
"I better go, it's getting late"
"Oh okay.. goodnight y/n"
"Night Gaz"
You drove back come and threw the keys into the side cabinet. You walked into the living room and sat opposite Robbie. He was mad.
"Are you staying"
"What"
"With them.. are you staying"
"Yes Rob.. you may be fed up of that band but I'm not"
"You ungrateful little slut"
"Excuse me"
"After everything.. me and you.. you choose them over me"
"Oh it's not like that and you know it.. I'm not abandoning you Robbie, I'm doing what I love.. I would never ask you to quit your job why are you asking me to quit mine"
"Because.. they betrayed me"
"Robbie wise up, you're being ridiculous"
He grabbed your arms and pulled you close.
"Don't you dare talk to me like that.. who do you think you are"
"Your fiancé"
"Back chat won't help.. you ever disrespect me again I swear to god y/n"
He threw you onto the sofa and left the room. You looked at your arms. You had grip marks from where his hands had been. You cried yourself to sleep and hoped it was a dream.

.......

You were staring into space when you heard Gary calling your name.
"Y/n"
"Sorry what"
"Is everything okay.. I was just talking about the music video outfits and you totally blanked out"
"Yeah I'm fine sorry go ahead"
"Well Nigel thought you could wear this dress. It would match our tuxedos"
He held up a dress with thin straps.
"No"
"Come on you might like it once it's on"
"I SAID NO"
You started to cry and ran out of the room. You sat in the social area and wiped your eyes. Gary came in a while later and sat beside you.
"Y/n Im sorry, I didn't mean to upset you"
"It's fine.. could you leave"
"Y/n come on.. you're my best friend, I don't want you being mad at me"
"Gary please"
Gary touched your arm to try and comfort you. You pulled away and jumped up.
"Y/n what's going on"
"Nothing please just leave"
"Y/n roll up your sleeves"
"Gary don't"
"Y/n roll up your sleeves.. it's me"
You rolled up your sleeves and cried when you looked at the bruises on your arm. Gary stood up and looked at them.
"Y/n.. did, did Robbie do this"
"Gary please it's nothing"
"DID HE DO THIS"
"Yes.. last night, we got into a fight.. he grabbed me and wouldn't let go"
"Right.. I'll kill him"
Gary started to storm out. You grabbed him and pulled him back.
"Gary no.. PLEASE STOP"
He turned around with tears in his eyes.
"He hurt you y/n"
"I'm okay, I'm just embarrassed that's all.. please Gary don't do this"
"Okay.. okay I won't.. but as long as you promise me you're okay.. and that this will never happen again"
"It won't.. he was drunk, he wouldn't hurt me"
Gary shook his head and looked at your arm.
"Can I"
You nodded and watched Gary gently run his hand over the bruises. He let the tears run down his face. You wiped them away and placed your hand on his cheek.
"Gary it's okay"
"No it's not.. this shouldn't happen to you y/n.. you don't deserve it"
"But I love him Gary"
"This isn't love.. if he loved you he wouldn't be hurting you"
"I told you he was drunk.. we were arguing"
"What about"
"What"
"What were you arguing about"
You sighed and shook your head
"Me staying in the band"
Gary let out a shaky breath.
"So I did this to you"
"What no.. Gary look at me, this isn't your fault"
"I asked you to stay.. oh god what have I done"
"Gary hey.. enough okay, you are a good man.. you've done nothing wrong"
"Are you sure"
"Yes.. Gary please don't blame yourself"
He stood up and held your hand.
"You tell me if this happens again.. I'll beat the shit out of him"
"Okay I promise"
