Danny's POV:

We all woke up the next morning after the best sleep we'd had in a while. We all sat talking for about half an hour before the doctor came in again and smiled widely at us all.

'Hey boys!' he said happily.

'Hiya.'

'How are you this morning?'

'Yeah, we're great thanks!' Danny replied cheerily.

'How about you Dougie? Are you feeling a bit stronger?'

'Yeah thanks. Loads better.' Dougie replied with a small smile, having gained the strength to form, near enough, proper sentences.

'Well that's great! Now I don't want to scare you, but it's about time for breakfast and we were hoping maybe that we could get you to eat some to get your treatment started.'

'I'm not scared. I know I need this. I have to be strong.' Dougie replied, face set and determined.

'Well done Dougs, you're beautiful you know!' Harry said quickly, kissing Dougie gently on the cheek.

'I'll get the nurse to bring you all through some breakfast then. What would you all like?'

'Please can I have toast?' Dougie asked sweetly.

'Same please.' I replied happily.

'Yeah me too please!' Harry said quickly after me.

'Me.. erm.. four please?' Tom finally responded, smiling up at the doctor.

'Of course! I'll get them to bring that in a minute. I'll see you later boys.' The doctor said before he strolled out of the room with a happy look on his face.

'I'm so proud of you Dougs, I love you so much.' Harry grinned at his younger boyfriend, cupping Dougie's face gently and pulling him in for a kiss. Dougie leaned into the kiss and when they pulled away, they both had huge smiles across their faces and Dougie's cheeks were flushed pink.

'You two are literally the cutest couple ever!' I said happily to them as Harry climbed into the small bed next to Dougie, wrapping his arms around the younger boy.

'Yeah, you're so perfect for each other! Aw you're adorable!' Tom cooed beside me.

'Thanks guys but honestly, you two are starting to sound gay now as well.' Dougie giggled. The rest of us burst out laughing with him and within seconds we were all crying with laughter. We were cut off from their laughing fit by two nurses walking in both carrying trays.

'It's good to see you all so happy boys. We've got your breakfast here for you. We've got to take your drips out first though Dougie.' One of the nurses said happily to us, walking over to Dougie's bed. They quickly removed the wires from Dougie's arms and placed them on a trolley before giving us each a plate with two pieces of toast on. They left quite soon after they had given us the toast and we sat talking.

'Are you ready Dougs?' Harry asked quietly, taking hold of Dougie's small hand and squeezing it tightly.

'Yeah. I can do this, I just need to be strong and take it slow.' he replied confidently. He picked up his first piece of toast and took a huge bite from it, chewing it thoroughly before swallowing it and doing the same again. He managed to finish both pieces within ten minutes and after that, he didn't complain about feeling ill even once. We sat around for the rest of the morning just messing around and talking. Dougie did ask us just to take it easy sometimes and he got hot and really tired at some points but he managed to keep the food down and after the first three hours had passed, he was absolutely fine. At around 2pm, we got our lunch brought in and Dougie managed to eat just over three quarters of it before pushing the plate away and asking to sleep for a little while. We accepted and he softly fell asleep in the arms of Harry. The time passed and soon enough, it was 8pm. We all watched Dougie, huge smiles evident on our faces, knowing that our little sandy-haired bassist was happy again, once more.

If you think that this is the end, you think correctly. There should be one more chapter that is set a few months after this and then that's it! I have absolutely loved writing this and seeing the reviews has made me so happy! Thank you all so much! I was thinking of writing a sequel where Dougie has a relapse or possibly turns to self-harm instead of bulimia/anorexia. I'd love to have ideas on any storylines you'd like to see in the sequel and yeah.. just thank you so much x
