Dougie's p.o.v

I stood at the end of the bed with the envelope in my hands. her chest rose and fell softly. Her eyelashes lay perfectly against her cheek bones, her lips slightly pursed. Her hairs bouncy curls lay fanned out on her shoulders. She looked like sleeping beauty. She is my sleeping beauty. No. She was my sleeping beauty.

I lay the envelope quietly on the vanity in clear sight. This was it. This was the end. This was for the best.

Darcy's p.o.v

My eyes fluttered open to the click of a door. I stayed still lay in one spot. I looked across the room and saw an envelope on my vanity lay up against my box of jewellery.

I rolled over putting my face into the pillow. The house was silent. The twins were still asleep, and Dougie. Wait? where's Doug gone?

I kept up out of bed and the envelope again caught my attention this time around I grabbed it and opened it. Inside was a piece of ale green rose patterned paper marked with Dougie's neat hand writing.

I steadied my breath, taking a deep long breath as my eyes begin to repeat the words to my brain.

' Darcy.

You are the love of my life. I have always loved you even when we were kids. we have been through so much together and I think it's about time we call it a day. The thought of not being with you kills me inside, but I know it's for the best. I am so grateful for the time we have spent together, it has given me some beautiful memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life, especially Alicia and Alfie. We have live a roller coaster relationship and this is where I get off. I hope that we can still be friends for the sake of the children, but I think for now we both need a little time and space. I just want you to remember one thing. I never meant to hurt you. I love you and our precious little babies more than anything in this world, but we both know I am poisonous and that anything I touch breaks. I don't want to break you anymore, I can't break you anymore.

I will always be your galaxy defender and will be there whenever you need me. I love you and I always will. I wish you to find true happiness even if that means you don't love me anymore, because your happiness means more to me than my own heartbreak. Thank you for everything.

Your Doug xxx'

A single tear rolled down my cheek and my breathing shallowed. I wasn't to run, I wanted to run and find him, but my feet were paralysed to the floor. I could here sniffling through the baby monitor, Doug was saying goodbye. I wanted to to go in and stop him but I couldn't. I couldn't move, I couldn't breath, I couldn't do anything my whole body was just numb.

By now my sobs had escaped and taken over my body. I was a mess, I was heart broken. I just wanted Dougie. My Dougie.

Dougie's p.o.v

I stood infront of the cribs and took a deep breath. I leaned in and picked up Alicia from her crib, cradling her light, sleeping body in my arms. I remember when we walked through the front door of this house when we brought them home, the look on Darcy's face and the proudness I felt. now look at us.

I left a soft kiss on Alicia's forehead and cuddled her into my chest even more. this was so much harder than I thought it would be. Alicia's eyelashes fluttered open and her big blue eyes looked deep into mine. "hey baby girl. did you have a nice sleep? hey listen, daddy's going away for a while, so I need you to be good for mummy, yeah? can you do that for me?" She gave me cheeky smile and I sighed knowing she wouldn't ever understand what I was saying right now.

I lay Alicia back down in her crib and moved across the room to Alfie's crib. he lay already awake cooing and giggling lightly. I breathed in once again, trying to hold back my tears.

"Well, I suppose this is goodbye for now."
