It's Not That Hard
Chapter 9
“Dougie.” I whispered.
“Hi Bailey.” He looked gorgeous. You can tell he hasn't slept in a while, he has bags under his eyes
and honestly looks so tired he could pass out any second.
“Why don't you come in? You look tired.” He nodded and walked into the room.
“Thanks.” He murmured. I just nodded.
“Why are you here? I was waiting for Adam.” It came out ruder then it was supposed to.
“I just.. Never mind. I'll send Adam over here. You obviously like him more than me.” He walked out
before I could explain myself.
Dougie
God damn. I never should have went. It was stupid of me. I am seriously the biggest idiot in the
world.
“DOUGIE!” I heard from behind me. I turned around and there she was.
“What? Don't you want your precious Adam? Or how about the ever short Brad Marchand?” I was
being a douche. And she didn't like it. Because next thing I knew she was slapping me.
Bailey
I slapped him. And what I did next even shocked both of us.... I kissed him....
“Don't ever for a second I want to see anyone else more than I want to see you. I am in love with you.
But being told you didn't want to be with me because of Tyler, was heartbreaking that is why I left.
I knew if I didn't leave things would never be better, and I wanted things to be better. But from what the
girls AND Adam said, nothing worked. They said you and Tyler were the worst when you weren't on
the ice. And the rink Tyler goes to for practicing without the team said there were times when they
thought they would have to call the hospital, because Tyler was overworking himself. No one told me
what was happening with you, and by the look on your face I probably don't want to know, do I?”
I could tell everything I was saying was hitting home for him. And for the second time that day in the
middle of public Dougie and I kissed again.
“Do you want to REALLY go see Adam now?” We laughed and I nodded. I grabbed his hand and
pulled him toward Carrie's hotel room.
“CARRIE! I NEED THE KEYS TO THE CAR WE USE IN BOSTON! OPEN THE DOOR!” I yelled
through the door. Dougie laughed at me.
“You couldn't have knocked and been a polite little sister like you should be?” Carrie asked when she
opened the door. But nearly died when she saw who I was with.
“My oh my. Well if it isn't Mr. 'He Doesn't Love Me Like I Want Him To' Hamilton. I am Carrie,
Bailey's sister. And I have heard that you broke her heart? Well do it again and I will set my husband on
you.” She gave me the keys, “Have a nice night.” And closed the door to her room.
“Ummmm, she really won't get Mike to hurt you.. She's joking.” He nodded as if to say it's OK.
“Trust me if I had a sister I would be after the guy that hurt her the first time around.” We laughed and
started walking to the car.
“So where are the guys? At your house or Adam's?”
“Neither. They are at Tyler's.” We drove to Tyler's in peace, neither one of us daring to let go of the
others hand.
When we got there Dougie had said we had to talk.
“Before we go in there and I wanted to ask you this question.” My heart started to beat a little faster
with each second no one talked.
“Will you... Please say no if you feel the need... But would you like.. To... Umm.. Be my girlfriend?”
There was a pause before I nodded my head and all of the tension went away.
“Thank god you said yes. It would have been understandable if you said no, but it is better this way.”
We laughed about it before we got out of the car. And started walking towards the door. When he
knocked on the door you could hear the guys yelling at each other to get up and answer it. I giggled
because these were the guys I left. The guys that yelled a one another to pause the movie, so the other
could get up and take a piss. Or to get popcorn or in this case answer the door.
“Fine! I'll get the god damn door! The short people always get the door....” I laughed because I knew it
was Brad who was complaining about short people.
“See look it was only Dougie and Bailey. And everyone..... BAILEY!!!” Brad stopped short of his rant
and jumped on me making me fall back.
You could hear the guys running to the door and pushing and shoving each other to see me.
“GUYS!!!! DON'T HURT HER! WE JUST GOT HER BACK!” Dougie yelled at everyone. Everyone
stopped shocked that Dougie screamed at them. And I was pretty happy because he didn't seem to
notice and helped me get Brad off of me, because I couldn't breath. When Brad did get up, Dougie
grabbed me and pulled me into his side and kissed the top of my head while I giggled and buried my
head into his side.
“Ummm, when did this happen?” We were broken out of being in each others arms when I heard
Tammy's voice. Everyone seemed to nod in agreement.
“Umm, about 10-15 minutes ago., Depending on how long we stood outside till Brad was gentlemen
enough to let us in.” I told her and the guys in confidence and Dougie kissed the top of my head
again
smiling.
“So..... You were just going to show up and start dating the guy that made you leave?” Tyler asked
angerly.
“Well at least he isn't going to be with me to make his game better. OR apologize to make his game
better. And at least he showed up! I probably shouldn't be giving anyone the time of day that
thought we
should make up just to make sure Dougie's game isn't affected.” Everyone besides the girls, who
looked furious, looked dejected.
“YOU TOLD HER THAT!? HOW DARE YOU?” Brittney screamed at the guys. And I mean screamed
at them... Like holding nothing back screamed....
“That is the rudest thing I have ever heard..... Milan, Nathan did you two agree with this?” Neither
boys
said anything... “You guys are unbelievable.... And to think I said yes to marrying you, Milan.” The
poor boy looked dejected.. He just nodded his head and started walking to the car.
“WHERE ARE YOU GOING? DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME!”
“YOU DON'T WANT TO MARRY ME? FINE! GIVE ME MY RING BACK AFTER I GET
"EVERYTHING THAT IS MINE OUT OF YOUR APARTMENT!” He screamed back at her.
“I didn't mean it.” She said to me as she ran after him ..
Oh boy.... Did I choose to come back on the wrong day....
“Hi Bailey.” He looked gorgeous. You can tell he hasn't slept in a while, he has bags under his eyes
and honestly looks so tired he could pass out any second.
“Why don't you come in? You look tired.” He nodded and walked into the room.
