Nothing's Certain At The Start (A McFly Fan Fiction)

Chapter Nine

"Well then, let's hear something." Tom said smirking.

Did he really think I wasn't capable? I'll show him.

"Alright." I said confidently.

I clamped on my capo and started to strum a G chord, just like the record.

I thought out mentally of the chord progression: G, D, Em, C, Cm, Em. 

I can do this.

"I never meant the things I said to make you cry

can I say i'm sorry?

It's hard to forget, and yes I regret

all these mistakes

I don't know why you're leaving me

but I know you must have your reasons

there's tears in your eyes, as I watch you cry

and it's getting late

was I invading in, on your secrets?

was I too close for comfort

you're pushing me out

when I wanted in

what was I just about, to discover?

when I got too close for comfort

driving you home

guess i'll never know

remember when  we scratched ours names into the sand

and you told me you loved me

know that i've found, that you've changed you mind

i'm loss for words

and everything I feel for you

I wrote down on one piece of paper

the one in your hand, you won't understand

how much it hurts to let you go?

was I invading in, on your secrets?

was I too close for comfort

you're pushing me out

when I wanted in

what was I just about, to discover?

when I got too close for comfort

driving you home

guess i'll never know

all this time you've been telling me lies

hidden by bags that are under your eyes

and when I asked you I knew I was right

but if you turn your back on me now

when I need you must 

but you chose to let me down

won't you think about what you're about to do to me?

and back down

Was I invading in on your secrets?

Was I too close for comfort

You're pushing me out

When I wanted in

What was I just about to discover

I got too close for comfort

You're pushing me out

When I'm wanting  in

What was I just about to discover?

When I got too close for comfort

Driving you home

I guess I'll never know.

"Delilah, that was-"

"Brilliant!" Dougie said cutting off Danny and practically jumping into my arms.

"Thanks, Dougie." I said. 

"That was awesome, Delilah! We're definitely going to use you all we can for this new album." Danny said beaming. 

"I'll be looking forward to it." I said proudly. 

"Hey guys, I hate to break up the little celebration, but I have some news." Tom said.

"Let's hear it." Harry said eagerly.

"Well, I got a text from Fletch saying that we have to go to this ball thing tonight." He said. 

"Who's Fletch?" I whispered to Dougie.

"Our manager." He said.

I assumed Scott was...oh well.

"Anyways, we have to be there-and we have to bring dates."

"Well, obviously I'm bringing Emma." Danny said. 

"I'm gonna ask Chloe." said Dougie.

Aww, Dougie's girlfriend must be adorable! 

"and I'm going to bring Amanda." Harry said. 

"Well mate, that leaves you." Danny said to Tom chuckling.

"Guys, Delilah doesn't have a date either!" Dougie said. 

I started to blush.

"Erm...I don't know who to go with." I said honestly.

I didn't know any guys in this area besides them. 

"Tom can go with Marvin." Harry said smirking.

"Very funny." Tom said rolling his eyes.

"I'll figure out something." I said smiling. 

I honestly had no clue what I was going to do. I barely knew any guys here.

"Anyways, we can sort it out later. Who wants to go to lunch?" Danny asked.

We all nodded in agreement. 

My stomach was growling for food. 

I packed up my guitar, capo, and other music equipment while everyone else filed out. 

"Uh, Delilah?" I heard a voice ask me.

I turned around to see Tom with his hands in his pockets. He looked slightly uncomfortable.

"Well, I was thinking since uh, you and me both don't have uh you know, dates that we could go together? I know you probably don't fancy-"

"I'll go with you." I said smiling. 

I giggled a little over the fact of how nervous Tom was, and over something so negligible!

"What's so funny?" He asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"You." I said bluntly. 

He smiled a little bit, then ruffled his hair. 

"Delilah?" He asked me again.

"Yes?"

"Welcome to our family." He said warmly. 

Tom's POV:

I can't believe she said yes! 

Why did I care so much though?
