My Blue Eyed Blondie

Part sixteen - Tears & hugs

You were still in a heap on the floor with Damien crouched by your side. The rest of the squad were increasingly becoming more worried about you but didn't want to overcrowd you.
"I want to see him." You muttered through sniffles. Damien looked at you with concern in his eyes "Are you sure?"
You looked at your hands and thought for a second. "I need to see Harry."
"I completely support you Y/N. I'll drive us down tomorrow morning?" Damien offered.
"Um, yeah I think that'll be best. Thank you Dames." You said starting to cry about how lucky you were to have him in your life. He helped you up to your feet and pulled you into a warm embrace which made you calm down slightly. "Come on, lets go in and I'll make you some tea." Damien said wiping a tear from your cheek and wrapping an arm around you.

You went straight into the toilet as soon as you got in to re adjust and sort your puffy face out. You were in there for a while getting ready for bed and whatnot. By the time you came out everyone else has returned from the campfire.
You exited the bathroom to see Courtney and Mari waiting to use it. You smiled at them both weakly, a clear sadness still struck across your face. They both quickly pulled you into a group hug. "We're not going to ask any questions, we just want to see if you're okay" Courtney said kindly.
"If there's anything you need or you need someone to talk to, we're here for you." Mari added.
"Thanks guys." You replied with a genuine smile.

You left the girls to get ready and put your stuff away, then wandered into the kitchen. Most people were getting ready to sleep and were mainly all in the front room or the games room.
You made your way to the front room and as you entered the room fell silent as most eyes were on you or intentionally everting your gaze. After an awkward pause you entered further into the room and everyone came to their senses and attempted to make the atmosphere less awkward. You sat in the only available seat which was in between Ian and Wes. You squashed in between the two of them and Ian shared his blanket with you. "Thank you." You smiled at Ian then allowed your head to flop on his shoulder. In return Ian rested his head on yours to comfort you and Wes joined by hugging you, lying on your legs. "I love you guys." You said with a trembling voice tearing up once again. Ian and Wes both sat up to hug you properly and as they did so Keith, Sarah and Noah came over to you and joined the group hug.
"Sorry guys I'm a mess." you half giggled through tears. "I think you guys have a right to know what's happened. And it might help me to tell someone." You looked around the room. "Or maybe nine someone's?" You giggled.
You briefly described your situation not going far into the details.
"Wow Y/N, we had no idea." Keith said hugging you.
"If you need to go home or don't want to be apart of anything just let me know." Ian said rubbing your arm with kind eyes.

You all had another group hug and people offered drinks and food to you. Soon most of the room was empty and you went through to the kitchen to get a glass of water. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath to avoid crying again and upon opening your eyes you saw Shayne standing in the doorway smiling softly at you. His face instantly made you light up and you gleamed a smile back at him. His tired blue eyes gazed heavily at you making you blush. "How you feeling pumpkin?" He said kindly.
"Could be better." You sighed.
"Come here." He replied. Shayne wrapped his toned arms around your frame and comforted you by just being there for you. "Thank you Shayne." You said hugging him back.
He hugged you tighter "It's going to be okay."
