His Name Is... Dougie

Chapter 26

Take a deep breath, Olivia. Dougie's going to be here soon, keep the emotions for later. Let them spill out when Dougie "breaks-up" with you, I thought.

I'm not sure if this is the best move. Tyler knows about my plan. Tyler likes me... He'll do anything to get me. He'll probably just tell Wayne that Dougie and I are still dating. I bit my lip, since I started to date Dougie... I've either been depressed or angered. Maybe, Dougie and I should just break-up.

I yelled to get all my feelings out, it felt good. "Are you not glad to see me?" I looked over to my right to see the voice. Dougie was already in my car,

I gave him a sad smile, "So excited." I replied.

Dougie grabbed onto my hand and squeezed it. I looked at him, "Even though we're going to 'break-up', I won't stop thinking about you." Tears started to brim in my eyes.

"You shouldn't have said that," I told him.

"Why?"

"Now I really don't want to 'break-up'." Dougie leaned over and gave me a hug, rubbing my back.

"This will be hard for you," he whispered. "Just know that you have Chara, Brad, Tyler," I cringed. "They'll make you feel better. You can also talk to me, Freddie, Ryan, Kayleigh, Kennedi, Sadie, Lillian, Arianna, and anyone else. They'll all be there for you." I hugged Dougie tighter; he had a way to make me feel better in any situation.

"When does practice start?" Dougie asked, while still holding onto me.

"In an hour. Wayne would be there by now, my uncle isn't. It's better to go now, so my uncle doesn't find out that we dated." I suggested.

"We should get going then."

I continued to cling onto Dougie even though I knew we had to go, "Olivia, do you want me to drive? You seem distracted," joked Dougie.

"I think it would be better for you to drive," I agreed. Dougie and I got out of my car and hopped into each other's seats. I didn't want to go to the arena... I know that Dougie and I will still be together. But I'll never go to St. Catherine's and Dougie will only come to Boston when he has to.

This was going to be a long, brutal time without him. When I was without Dougie for one day, I was dying. I don't know how I'll be without Dougie for who knows how long.

I started to watch Dougie while he drove. He seemed so relaxed, like nothing was going to happen. I would love to know how he was being so calm while I'm freaking out and feel like I'm going to break down.

We stopped at a red light, Dougie looked at me. He leaned towards me and kissed my cheek, "Everything is going to be fine," he tried to assure me, it didn't help me.

I looked at him, "For you it will. For me, Wayne's going to be questioning me; Tyler's probably going to pull a move on me because he knows I'm single." I explained. "Plus, I'm going to die every moment that you're not with me. You don't realize how much I love you," I added.

Dougie looked at me, sadness in his eyes. "I promise I'll call you every night and every morning. You'll never go a day without hearing from me."

"Do you want me to have a break down?" I joked as I tried to hold back the tears that Dougie created.

"If you have a break down, I will care for you."

I looked down to the ground, "I don't deserve you," I muttered.

"I don't deserve you either... But somehow I have you and I'll be grateful for every day I get to call you 'mine'." Tears fell from both of my eyes and I started to sob. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that... It would have been better when I 'break-up' with you," thought Dougie.
