I gazed longingly across the room; he was beautiful. Godlike. Almost unreal he was so perfect... And he could never be mine.
Ever since the day I met him - when I was just fifteen years old - I had found myself drawn to him; I had always thought there was something special about him. The day we met, at the audition, I had been really nervous about it before I had seen who would be judging me, but having to play in front of Tom - the most beautiful being I had ever laid eye on - had made my nerves even worse. I never thought I'd get into the band. I messed up more than once in my audition and I tripped up on the way out, making a complete and utter fool of myself, but amazingly they still picked me to join the band!
I was ecstatic when I found out! I would be touring the world, playing music to kids in other countries, and I would get to do it all with that beautiful man.
For a year or so everything was perfect; we were making music together, touring the world together, sharing a stage together - occasionally even sharing a bed - we soon became best friends! But my dreams had been shattered ever so slightly when Tom got a girlfriend. Well, maybe more than slightly... It broke my fucking heart in two.
I spent the next three years wishing I was straight, wishing I didn’t know the most perfect (straight) boy in the world, and wishing that Tom's stupid bitch of a girlfriend would just piss off and go move to another planet or something. That woman ruined what should have been some of the best years of my life. After a year of dating Emma, Tom moved out of the “McFly house”, as it was known, and moved in with her. I felt like I had lost my best friend forever, I felt so alone. Yeah, I still had Danny and Harry living with me but I had always been closest to Tom. After another year Harry moved across town and soon after Danny moved out as well (only to across the street but still, I was now alone in a house way too big for one just person). I had never felt more alone than I did when I was eighteen years old and living alone. Of course I still saw the boys a lot but it wasn’t the same, it was as if we were drifting apart.
But then last year a miracle happened - Tom broke up with her. No one had any idea why, least of all her. Apparently things "just weren’t the same anymore". Everyone was shocked. Everyone was confused. And everyone was upset. Everyone except me; I was over the bloody moon! Tom moved back into the McFly house with me and started cooking for me again, he came into my room when he had a nightmare and if there was a storm he would look after me, he slept in my bed like he used to, we had Star Wars all night movie marathons again and lightsabre duels; it was just like old times. It was absolutely perfect. I almost let myself hope I had a chance with him, but as soon as the thought popped into my head it was immediately replaced with the depressing awareness that Tom was definitely 100% straight and there was nothing I, or anyone else, could do about it.
So here I was; nineteen years old. Gay (though very much in the closet). Single. And in love with my best friend (who I could never have).
Yeah, I think it’s pretty safe to say my life is a disaster.
I watched him as he placed his coffee on the table by the door and hung his coat up on the hook on the wall. I watched him as he waved to our producer, Jason, clapped Harry on the back and smiled at me as he pulled open the door to the live room to join Danny by the microphone. I blushed at being caught staring at him, but didn't lower my gaze, and smiled back.
I glanced over to Danny quickly and nodded, wishing him a silent 'good luck', but I didn't mean it. 'That should be me' I thought jealously as Jason gave Danny the thumbs up and he began to sing his little northern heart out into the mic.
"I got chilllls, they're multiplying, and I'm losing contro-ohl. 'Cause the pow-er you're supplying... It's electrifying!"
"You better shape up" Tom's beautiful voice came in right on cue, note perfect; he always was. "'Cause I need a man... And my heart is set on youuu," (I could have sworn his eyes flicked to me as he sang that line - just for a second! Or was I just imagining it? Probably, it had been a long day and I was rather prone to wishful thinking.) "You better shape uh-up, you better understand, to my heart I must be true." I scowled at Danny's vocals rejoined Tom's as the chorus began, "Nothing left, nothing left for me to do! You're the one that I want; you are the one I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh!"
I wasn't imagining it this time, I couldn't be, Tom was looking straight at me, singing those oh-so- clichéd lyrics to me! "You're the one that I want; you are the one I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh. The one that I neeed, oh yes indeeed..." As the chorus ended I tore my gaze away from Tom, I was being ridiculous thinking he was singing to me, he was probably only looking at me because I had been staring at him since the start of the song. "If you're filled with affection, you're too shy to conveh-ey, meditate in my direction..." My eyes flicked up to Tom's face and I found he was still looking at me, he was smiling "Feel your way." He sang in a seductive voice, winking at me as my eyes widened in shock.
There was no denying it now, for whatever reason he had, Tom was definitely singing to me. I couldn’t concentrate on the song anymore; all I could do was watch Tom as he smirked at me from his place behind the glass, running his hand through his hair before returning to the song as the last chorus came in.
"You're the one that I want; you are the one I want! Oh, the one that I need, oh yes indeed! You're the one that I want; you are the one I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh! You're the one that I want; you are the one I want! Ooh, ooh, ooh! You're the one that I want; you are the one I want..."
"Brilliant, boys!" Jason grinned as Danny and Tom stepped out of the room. "Absolutely perfect first time! Fantastic! That's everything sorted now, except backing vocals... D'you wanna do them now or take a quick break?"
"I think we'll take a break, thanks J" Tom said quickly, picking up his coffee and taking a sip.
His face scrunched up into a disgusted expression and he immediately placed his cup back on the table. "Eugh, it's gone cold." he grimaced "Anyone fancy walking to Starbucks with me to get another?" he asked, pulling his coat on and glancing round the room.
"Nahh, mate." Danny replied, taking a seat next to Harry on the couch, "Have you seen the weather out there? It's fuckin’ freezing, innit! Weatherman says it's gonna snow an' all!"
Harry joined in with, "Yeah man, I agree with Dan. I think I'll stay inside where it's warm."
Tom looked disappointed for a second before looking over to me and smiling, "Dougie it is then" he said, grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door before I had a chance to protest.
