*several hours before at band rehearsal*

"Okay guys, I think were done" James says as he sits on the edge of the stage.

"C'mon guys lets go have a little fun. I mean the tours gonna be hectic, we're not gonna have time for this later." Harry says.

Dougie turns around "time for what" he questions.

"Time for tattoo roulette" Harry's says with an evil laugh.

"Oh god no! Not tattoo roulette. This will not end well." Says Dougie.

"Stop moaning and give me your hat" says Matt.

Dougie passes Matt his hat and he puts in 6 little pieces of paper in. They all take a piece and reveal what they got.

James shouts out his first "Safe Fuck yes!" He smiles

"Yes oh my fucking god, safe" Danny says jumping up and down!

"WOOO I'm Safe" Tom says with Joy

"OMG SAFE" Matt sighs in relief

Harry and Dougie look at each other and open their little piece of paper to see 'Oh Shit!'

"Right you guys know the rules, three rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors" Matt says

"Okay Ready Doug" asks Harry slightly nervous

"For fucks sake! I don't want to do this" Says Dougie!

In the first round Dougie wins feeling a little more victorious. But then Harry wins the second round. This was it, the final round that decided their fate.

"One, Two, Three... DRAW" shouts Tom.

"YEEESSSSSS!" says Harry who then runs a victory lap round the room.

Dougie is frozen as he looks at the results of Harry's Rock and Dougie's scissors. Danny, Tom, Matt and James are on the floor laughing at Dougie's reaction.

"What shall we make him get?" Danny says.

"How about the Ellie Goulding logo?" Tom says joking, they all start laughing again.

"Nooo, absolutely not" Dougie says demanding.

"Ok ok, how about..." James says thinking of a tattoo idea for Dougie.

"Get the dinosaur from our book" shouts Tom!

"Ok, I'll do that. I quite like our little dinosaur" He laughs.

"But there's a catch" Smirks Danny.

"What do you mean?" Dougie asks confused.

"You have to get it tattooed on your arse." Says Danny laughing.

All the boys start to laugh at the thought of Dougie having a dinosaur tattoo on his bum.

"Oh guys, shit I just remembered, I have to go back to Ellie's. I promised her I would go straight back after rehearsals."

"That's a shit excuse of getting out of this! You have to do it now that's the rules" Says Harry getting his coat on.

"No seriously, I have to go back to Ellie's" Says Dougie pleading.

"Shut up whining, you're getting this tattoo whether you like it or not. It won't take that long anyway." Says Matt!

"Ugh fine" Dougie said giving in.

They all got into the car and drove to the tattoo parlour. It was the only one open at this time of night.

*couple hours later*

"Alright Dougie, we're all done here" Says the tattoo artist.

Dougie gets up and looks at his tattoo in the mirror.

"Oh fuck, what the hell have I done" Dougie says as the rest of the boys start to snigger

"Oh c'mon Doug, it's not like anyone is gonna see it. Well except for Ellie" Harry laughs.

Dougie pulls up his trousers pays the tattoo artist and gets his phone out of his pocket. He had 7 missed calls and 10 text messages from Ellie. Dougie's eyes widened as he only just realised it was 1am and still hadn't returned to Ellie's house.

"Oh shit guys, Ellie must be worried sick about me. I need to get to hers now" Dougie says as he runs to his car.

He gets in and pain pulses through his butt as he sits on his fresh tattoo.

"Owww fuck" Dougie says as he drives off, the other McBusted boys in a fit of laughter.

"Good luck Doug" they all shout.

It takes two hours for Dougie to drive to Ellie's, by then she is fast asleep clutching onto the empty wine bottle. She hears the knock at the door at 3:08am and stumbles towards the door. She grabs onto the wall to hold her balance

"What fucking time do you call this Doug" Ellie shouts speech slurred.

"Ellie I'm so sorry, I never meant for this to happen, today has been absolutely mental." Dougie pleads. "Wait a minute are you drunk" Dougie questions.

"That doesn't bloody matter, I've been waiting 7 fucking hours for you to get home. I made dinner and everything! Where the fuck were you?" Ellie argues as lets Dougie into her flat.

Dougie sits down forgetting his tattoo and tries to hide his pain through an awkward smile

"Well harry had this brilliant idea of tattoo roulette... and well it didn't go well" he says as he tries to get comfortable.

"Dougie you didn't even have to stay after rehearsal" she bursts into tears "You promised today would just be you and me and look how it fucking turned out. We never get anytime together as it is and you choose to bloody spend it with your stupid band"

She covers her face and cries into her hands. Dougie gets up to wrap his arms round her. Ellie pushes him off of her and Dougie sees the empty wine bottle on the floor, he picks it up.

"Holy shit no wonder you're over reacting" He says as he puts it in the bin.

"I'm not flaming over reacting! I'm like this because I've fucking had enough Dougie! It's not the first time and it won't be the last" Ellie shouts.

She then runs to the bathroom and vomits into the toilet. Dougie runs after her and stands in the doorway as he looks at Ellie sat on the floor still crying.

"What the fuck am I even doing?" she says "I'm a total mess"

He helps her stand up and get into the shower. He goes back downstairs to clean everything up.

Ellie gets out of the shower and drags herself to the bedroom to put her PJs on. She then sits on her bed and cups her head in her hands. Ellie lifts her head to see Dougie standing next to the bed with a glass of water and Advil tablets.

"Here take these" Dougie says as he hands them to Ellie.

"Thank you" Ellie quietly says as she gulps down a tablet.

"Ive been such an idiot Dougie, ugh I'm a rubbish girlfriend." Ellie says rubbing the tears away from her face.

"No you're not Ellie, I should've come here straight after rehearsals I'm the idiot here"

Ellie embraces Dougie in a long hung

"I love you Douglas" Ellie whisper into Dougie's ear

"I love you too Elena" Dougie whispers back but Ellie has fallen asleep on his Shoulder.

Dougie carries Ellie and yucks her into her bed and lays besides her putting his arm around her keeping Ellie close to him then slowly drifts off to sleep.
