Mcbusted- falling for you

Chapter 3

*dougies pov*

I can't believe those word just came out of my mouth. At the back of my mind I always thought that maybe, just possibly she'd admit that she's madly in love with me and she'd fall weak at my knees but instead she just looks around like she doesn't know who I was talking to. A few seconds later her mouth moves into a smile although I still see the worry in her eyes. She starts laughing nervously "it's a joke right? Funny. I don't get it." She looks at me with those deep blue eyes. "It's not a joke Anya." I mumble. I feel my insides churn. I know where this is going and its not good but I can't think about that right now. She stands up, cupping her face with her hands. "Wha.. How.. How can you love me?!" At this point my words just flow.

"How couldn't I, Anya? I love your smile, I love your personality, I love your voice, I love how you laugh at titanic, I lo-" she cuts me off.

"Stop Dougie, please stop."

The room goes silent. She collapses herself onto the sofa next to me. Still no sounds apart from the both of us breathing heavily. "Listen Anya. I'm sorry. I should never have said anything."

She stares into space and then takes a massive sigh. "No. No, it's a lot better that I know. I just can't believe this. What do you expect me to do, Dougie?" She asks in amazement. My mind knows what I want her to do but I beat around the bush with my words because I'm not sure how I want this to come out. "You... You shouldn't be with him. You should be with me." I immediately regret says this and I see tears gather up in anya's eyes. "Oh god Dougie. Please don't do this to me!" I go in and hug her and she wraps her arms tightly around me.

"The last thing I want to do is make you cry so I'm just gonna go." I say but she doesn't let go of me. Then she sits up and wipes her eyes.

*anya's pov*

"Listen Dougie." I say trying to regain my balance on the sofa. "I do love you." His eyes shoot up and his face turns hopeful. I probably shouldn't of started my sentence with that so I continue quickly. "I love all of you. Harry, danny, Tom, matt, you and the whole 'mcbusted gang'. But I'm in love with James." I thought that may have been a good way to put it but his face looks like it's collapsed. He takes a deep breath.

"I know Anya. And I know he feels the same way about you." He says slowly.

"Well Dougie. It's not like he's shown any interest in getting married or anything so..." I find my brain beginning to wander. Dougie gets up and gives me a quick kiss on the head then starts to walk away. "Dougie, don't go!" I say and find myself beginning to cry again, I don't know how to leave this situation.

He looks at his watch "no, I should go. James will be back soon."

"Oh okay." I say and look down. Dougie takes a few steps back in my direction. "Anya." My head shoots up.

"Yeah!" I say.

"Do me a favour and don't tell James about this." He says. But I tell James pretty much everything and this actually concerns him. I stay still thinking for a long time and take a deep breath. I'm about to answer when Dougie says. "I'll tell him myself, just have to try and find the right time." I agree to it and take him to the door. Before I open it I say "Dougie, you're not gonna be alone are you? Because I'm sure James wouldn't mind you sleeping on the couch tonight, if you wanted to stay." He declines my offer quickly. "No! Erm no. Thanks but I ... Already told Danny and Freddie I'd stay at their place tonight." Freddie is Danny's girlfriend. They are so cute together and love each other so much. I actually set them up. Freddie is on of my best friends and has been for years.

"Hm, okay well tell Freddie I said hey and we're still on for meeting up before the concert on Saturday?" This triggers something in dougie's brain but I'm not quite sure what it is.

"Right! Saturday!" He says And I can see his urge to get away so I open the door. James is standing there with his keys about to open the door. He laughs but he's the only one who's laughing so stops quickly and walks in "hey babe." He says and kisses me on the lips. He turns around "hey doug" and smiles. There is silence. Dougie breaks it. "Anyway! I'm gonna go but thanks for having me Anya and I will see you both on Saturday!" He says trying to look cheerful and leaves before I can reply. I shut the door. James moves in for a proper kiss. "So what'd you guys do?" He asks, completely oblivious.

I remember my promise to Dougie. " oh just watched a movie, had some food."

"Cool" James says. "Oh Anya, I have early morning rehearsal tomorrow so I will have to leave at about 4:00. Sorry."

I'm not gonna lie, I'm disappointed. He's been in rehearsal a lot lately. "Okay, that's fine sweetie." I say, trying to sound optimistic.

We spend the rest of the night downstairs watching TV and talking, laughing. This is another reason why it couldn't of worked out with Dougie. I genuinely do believe that James and I are made for each other although it may sound a bit weird.

It's so late by the time we get up to the bedroom so we go straight to sleep. I remembered hearing my phone beep from upstairs a few times but I was too tired to check it for messages.
