HOWARD'S POV

I awoke to a hand stroking my face. "Dougie?" Savannah whispered. I smiled when she said that, it was always her nickname for me and it always stuck. "Did you sleep well?" I asked, sitting up and stretching. "Yes. Better than I had in a long time. I felt safe." She looked me in the eyes when she said the last part and my heart instantly warmed. I wrapped my arms around her. I don't know what you would call this, we aren't officially together but we are in the same bed and I am happy to be by her side forever and a day. "Good. You're staying here. Where you feel safe. Okay?" I said, gently stroking her hair. She thought for a moment, tears pricked at her eyes. "Really?" She said, astonished. I smiled and nodded. "Okay." She replies simply, letting her head fall onto my chest. We had stayed like that for a while.
"Shit." She said lifting her head up. "What if he finds us? And I need clothes? Oh my gosh Dougie he might kill you and-" I pressed a finger to her lips at her sudden need for talking.
"It's okay, he won't find us. And if he does you're safe, he won't touch a superstar like me!" I said stretching my arms out and laughing a little. She nodded slightly, "Clothes?" She asked "I can't go back there and think I'm going to get back out."
"I suppose we are going shopping then. Was there any important clothing that you left?" I asked her. Maybe we could get replicas.
She shook her head "No, he burnt the one piece of clothing that was worth anything, the rest is just old shit he found."
I shook my head, not wanting to believe it. "How could this of happened? I thought you were protected. You were in love. I didn't want to spoil that." My hands started balling up into fists again.

SAVANNAHS POV

As if a surge of confidence shot through me, I sat up and then straddled Dougie, no not in a sexual way, I just wanted him to look at me. I lifted his hands up and stretched his fingers out of the fists he was clenching so tightly and let them rest on my thighs. "This. Is. Not. Your. Fault." I stressed gesturing to myself. "I got myself into this mess. You don't have to get me out of it. Stop beating yourself up over it. I shouldn't of left cause I have finally realised what I needed. And that's.. That's you. Okay? I said it." I finished firmly, waiting for a reaction. "I don't expect you to feel the same w-" I was cut off by Howard's lips crashing in to mine. It didn't take long until I had reacted, wrapping one arm around his neck and the other reaching for his curly hair. He pushed my hips down until he was on top of me, without breaking the kiss his hands skimmed the edge his shirt that I wore last night and then- the phone rang. He stopped and looked over at the small device as if it was satan. "Are you taking the piss?" He sighed.
"Answer it. It's sort of ruined the moment now." I laughed a little. He got up still looking at me and sighed again as he answered it.

HOWARD'S POV

"What?" I snapped.
"What's wrong with you? You sound like I just interrupted your morning sex." Jason's voice sounded down the receiver, Savannah must of heard as she started laughing.
"You did. Actually." I winked at Savannah who instantly turned red.
"With who?!" He exclaimed down the phone. "You said you don't do one nighters! You sir, are a liar!"
"No I'm not! I'll explain later. What did you want anyway?"
"Just calling off band meeting today. Mark had stuff planned with Vicky today and -"
"Vicky? As in Victoria? The one we went to school with?" Savannah asked in excitement.
"Who is that? I recognise her voice?" Jason asked. How loud is my phone? I gave up in having a quiet conversation and just put him on speaker. "It's an old friend of mine." I said, looking down at the phone. I was sat cross legged with savannah opposite and the phone in the middle of us.
" Well you can tell me about it later How! I have to go now though, I'll see you soon mate!" Jay then hung up. Savannah got out of bed and looked in the mirror which was place just by the wardrobe. I took the time to look over her. Her back was to me as she looked through her bag. He brown curls cascaded down he back, flowing so beautifully. The shirt she wore was mine. It was just an old black one but even she made it look good. It only goes half way down her thighs but it covered up her dignity. She looked so little in it, so petite. "What are you looking at?" She asked, I hadn't realised she had turned around and was staring at me. "Oh. I was just- I- nothing." I tried to explain but failed. She smiled. "Right then! Get dressed! We're going on a shopping trip!" I said jumping up and clapping my hands together.
