Falling In Love

Chapter 18 - Falling For Her

DOUGIE'S POV

Over the next few days we didn't speak of the 'moment', I pushed it aside and tried to forget about it. 

I was sitting in the kitchen one afternoon when there was a heavy knock at the door. "I'll get it!" I heard Evie shout from somewhere in the house. 

"Alex? What are you doing here?" I heard her say. What was Alex doing here? How did he know where I lived? I crept closer to the hall so I could hear their conversation better. It wasn't eavesdropping! I was just seeing if he was going to try anything with her, if he did I'd be there to protect her.. not that I could I mean he was alot taller and musculer than me. I listened as he apoligised, saying he overreacted. I couldn't help but make comments like 'pathetic' and 'doubt it' in my head as he pleaded for her to come home. I heard her sigh as she pondered what to do. 

I heard my phone ringing in the kitchen so I ran to answer it. It was my mum. We chatted on the phone for a good 10 minutes about everything and nothing. 

Mum had just hung up and when Evie walked in, her hair all tossled like she had been running her hands through it. "Umm that was Alex and he apoligized and stuff and so umm.. well I'm gonna go back home. Thanks for letting me stay though, I really aprreciate it." She said

"Oh ok. No problem any time." I replied

Evie went and packed all her stuff whilst Alex and I stood in silence waiting for her at the door. When she finally came down the stairs she put her bags down and gave me a quick hug. "Thanks again Dougie." She said picking up her bags again.

"That's ok. See you soon!" I said as she left, closing the door behind her. 

As I sat down on the sofa I couldn't help but think how weird it felt without her here rambling on about nothing or making awful jokes. The whole house was odly silent. I was missing her presence already. 

With nothing to do I began to think about her...

She was amazing. Being with the band was great and everything, but I needed a more personal life, something just mine, that I didn’t have to share with the others, with them knowing every detail. And she was great for that. After tiresome weeks, she was great fun to just chill and relax with. We had a great time, just the two of us. I hadn’t noticed it before; I thought we were just really close mates. But suddenly it all came into focus, I realised I felt differently with her than I did with other girls. I asked my close friend, who understood me, and he told me it straight. That I was falling for her.

A/N - So this isn't the best of chapters, I thought it was a bit boring but oh well. 

So now we know Dougies true feelings! Will he act on them? What will happen?
