She was nervous. It was her first time on a stage, not on a stage, but on THAT stage, on a big festival. She had talent, of course, but she was young and that day would be the glory to her. was waiting and then five boys came near her and she recognized them. , , , and . Her favorite band was beside her and she was so nervous that couldn’t ask them anything. Her favorite always were and seeing him, she noticed he was even better live than on TV. She heard the conversation. They were talking in low voice.
“Hey…isn’t this one the new singer?” said .
“Yes. She is stunning isn’t she?” said . “And wearing this black dress… Look... What an amazing body… My God!”
“Besides, she has THE voice… Did you listen to her song?” said .
“It was a cover, wasn’t it? A lot of crap! Another cute girl, with no brain, no style that just repeat old success… I’m tired to see it.” said .
“Don’t be like this . Her version of “Ain’t no mountain high enough” was perfect! And the entire album was written by her, beside this music.” said . disliked a lot the way talked about her. Who did he think he was? She was becoming angry.
“OK you are a fan!” said .
“I am! I went to her shows!” said .
“Maybe you’re the one that goes to her concerts beside her mom. She is like… one hit wonder” Then she became totally nervous. She turned around and looked at him, with her and hair falling in her eyes.
“OK , you are not an actualized person. I have a lot of fans, for your surprise. It's not because you don’t like my “cover” that anybody else in the world can't do it. It can seem incredible to you, but you are not the one that owns the truth! And, just to say, my mom is not at my concerts, because she is dead. If you were updated you would know it!” Her mother died just a few moths before and, like she said, everybody in the magazines and newspapers exposed this. She was a recent success and her first song was the cover that was the number one in UK and number 2 in Europe. “By the way, thank you for what you said. Thank you all guys beside you Mr. , that was so rude and stupid.” And then the guy on stage said:
“And now the new pop face of UK, the one, the only… !” She entered and started to sing. In the chorus, the entire crowd was singing along.
“Ain’t no mountain high enough… Ain’t no valley low enough… Ain’t no river wide enough…To keep me from you.” She danced and did THE performance.
“, she is splendid.” said .
“She is…” while he was looking at her act on stage, he noticed how pretty she was and how her smile was wonderful. “Erm… I was a bit stupid with her…”
“You are always stupid.” said .
“Look…her new song!” said .
She started to sing and everybody was looking at her completely amazed by her talent, even . When she finished, she came out the stage and the guys were there.
“Congratulations!” Said “You were perfect!”
“Thank you !” She blushed and then noticed how attractive she looked embarrassed. She was , but had an amazing body, and hair that had the same color of the honey, and her eyes were shining.
“The best part was the “No matter how far”” said . And she started to sing with him. A kind of Private Show was starting. She finished and then came to talk to her.
“I am sorry I was so stupid…”
“Really? Well, you were really idiot. I don’t think we should talk, you were really annoying and your comment was not right.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Shut up, would be the best thing you could do!”
“Hey….You’re not Cher to be this arrogant!”
“Even if I was, I would never say something like that about a song of a person that I don’t know yet. I know the word respect, that, obviously, you forgot the meaning.”
“It’s my opinion…Can I have it?”
“Sure you can. But respect is nice, and I like it.”
“I don’t care what you like or what you don’t like!”
“Actually, for you, fame means that you can everything. Grow up!” She went to her room and the guys started laughing.
“Well... She gave you a KICK!” joked . “A HUGE kick, by the way.”
“Who does she think she is?” Said “What a proud girl!”
“C’mon, you said her song was a crap, and said that she doesn’t have fans… You said, basically that she is a lot of trash that is a bit more especial because walks!”
“Is this a lie?”
“You know it is. She is fantastic. You should be more polite with the people you don’t know.” said , crying of laughing. That was a funny scene. She let him talking to the wind… What a girl with personality!
“It’s not that funny . Who does she think she is? Madonna? She is so pretentious…”
“And pretty…” said .
“But she is a conceited too!”
“You are picking on her. It’s not right… ” said .
“Uhhh… Ok father! I won’t pick on that stupid singer!”
Westlife did the presentation and was a success, as usual. watched it, but didn’t notice that, at least to her, was impossible not to look to . 'Damn it… He is so gorgeous… But is the most annoying person that I’ve ever known.' She thought.

They would start their tour next week and on Monday, Louis called them to the recorder.
“Hey guys… I have a good news to all of you.”
“Really?” Joked “What is it? Chocolate? Women? Sex? Rock and Roll?”
“NO …it’s not. You will have a concert partner with you during the tour.”
“Who?” asked all them together.
“Enter here partner…” and then had the worst surprise he could ever expect. entered the room.
“Hey guys!” She looked sweeter than in the concert day. But refused to admit that. He didn’t like her and that was it! “How are you?” She gave a kiss and a hug in all them, but in she did it without wanting to do.
“She will do a participation in all your concerts.”
“Singing what? Ain’t no mountain high enough? Sure…it’s just this song she has…” said .
“What a sympathetic person! I can sing “Shut up”, Black eyed peas…Dedicated to you… Perfect... Shut up, shut up, shut up…Just shut up…”
“It’s a shame that there’s no song called “You are ridiculous”. It’d be perfect to you.”
“And I could…”
“You could both shut up!” Said Louis “You are not children. Let me talk about the tour, or, better, about her participation in the concerts.” He talked a lot and they decided that she would appear in the Acoustic Set and sing her biggest success. – The tour begins at Friday… OK?” They nodded and left the room.
“Gosh. I can’t believe it… You will do the tour with us!” –said , completely happy, because she would be a great partner to them. Like fan, he was the happiest of the guys.
“When Louis said, I didn’t believe too. I am so happy.”
“We are all happy” said .
“Talk for yourself. I am not.” said .
“You were not invited to talk with us…So, be quiet. Your voice annoys me!”
“What a coincidence…yours too!”
“C’mon guys… we’ll be together for the next months… try to be cool…”
“, he always starts provoking me. And when I answer his bullshits I am the bad girl…”
“Ok, ok…Let’s go. Patricia is waiting for us…” said .
“Who’s Patricia?”
“Our choreographer. We’ll do the complete concert today, tomorrow…everyday until Friday. You’ll participate too.”
They went to the Manchester Arena and started to do the concert. Just the biggest success and, on Acoustic Set, it was 'More than Words', 'Bop Bop Baby' and 'To Be with you'. After this, would sing her song, with the guys.
The first part was OK. They did everything right. And when entered, Patricia was not there and then made a face to her, but she saw.
“, I saw it. Don’t make faces. Ugly faces, like yours, just mean to me that you’re hungry! And your belly indicates exactly that you should stop eating” it was a HUGE lie, but she wanted just to torment him.
“Oh Miss England, why don’t you catch a cork and put in your mouth? It’d be great; I wouldn’t have to listen to your voice!”
“Why don’t you catch this cork and put in your bot…”
“Guys calm down!” said “…you’re not a child anymore!”
‘But she started!”
“It’s always me who starts! You shouldn’t have made that face!”
“You shouldn’t have answered!”
“You are so frustrating!”
“You too!”
“Shut up! Let’s do this!” Said Patricia “, you’ll sit beside .”
“Erm... Really Patricia?” said and together.
“Yes… You have chemistry… You’d be great together.”
“Oh no…we wouldn’t! I would never be great with this girl!”
“Maybe we’d be great together .” Everybody looked at her completely surprised. She said, least than a minute before that he was annoying and now she was saying that they’d be great together! And, she seemed to be serious.
“Gosh…is she mad?” said in low voice.
“We’d be wonderful: you in a coast and me in another…It’d be superb… Or you in the Hell…it’d be better!”
“Why don’t you DIE for God’s sake?”
“Because you have to die first!”
“Patricia, if they sit beside each other it’ll end in murder!” said to her, while and were trying to create places where one wanted each other to be. Places like Turkey, Alaska, and Afghanistan…
“But why they are like this? They look like cat and dog!”
“It was because said that her song is a crap.”
“That’s nice…”
“We know…and now… It’s like this. He provokes her, she answer back and no one wants to be the last to talk…”
“Ok, ok... Shut up, both of you. , you’ll be in this side, you’ll be in the opposite side, we don’t want you near each other…” they continued and did her presentation perfectly and was just missing her partner in the song.
‘Well, first, and .” They sang, but the voices didn’t match. “... you” the same that happened with happened. “Well…… Just you now”. The voices matched perfectly. “Wow! Fantastic! You’ll sing this one together…Then you’ll take each others hand and…”
“Really? I don’t want it…” said . “If she wants, is another point...”
“Of course I don’t want to catch your hand…are you crazy? I’ll have to spend hours cleaning it later!”
“Hey, listen…”
“OK, grow up both of you. You are here working. If you don’t like each other, just pretend you do… The fans don’t need to know that you just can’t be beside each other. C’mon…WORK. You are both talented, and this song will be OK if you sing together. But, if you don’t want to do something with quality, OK, I call Louis now and tell him that the children don’t want to give the hands and comport themselves like civilized people that they’re!”
“I am sorry Patricia. I’ll try not to make this harder to you” said and they finished quickly. After this, they went to the hotel. The entire path they went talking, and, for everybody’s surprise, and didn’t fight. When they arrived at the hotel, was in the lobby, when she screamed:
“Oh my God! You came here! I don’t believe it!” And then she ran and kissed the man. The guys looked completely shocked. “Who was she kissing?”
“Who is this man?” asked a bit nervous.
“Look... It’s !” Said “He is her boyfriend.”
“How do you know?” said .
“It’s in all the magazines. They are a great couple…”
“Yeah…you bet…they match…”
“Oh…yeah…they match like a horse and a goose!”
“Oh !”
“Well, she is not discreet. It’s not necessary kiss him like this. They should go to the hotel!”
“They already are in a hotel!”
“You understood what I said.”
“…” said “Something smells strange here…”
“Yeah... There’s a kind of JEALOUSY in the air? Don’t you think ?”
“WHO IS JEALOUS HERE?”
“Nobody …” said , ironic. “Just because you’re almost killing him with this look…Of course not.”
“Ha ha ha , you are soooo funny!”
“Hey” came near them “this is my boyfriend, . , this is , , , and .” Everybody said hello, but ...
“Hey guys. So my little girl will sing with you…”
“She is fantastic” and they started to talk. was nervous, but he didn’t know why. Then, he started tormenting . There was a kind of happiness inside him when he saw her nervous.
“So… You have somebody that wants you.”
“If you have your girl, , everybody can have a person. I mean… is not a person exactly, but… it’s good for you: stupid, nice body and no brain. Imagine…if she had brain, it’d be a shame to her, because your head is empty!”
“He has bad taste!”
“ has bad taste! She loves you! I mean…she does, doesn’t she?”
“I’m not with .”
“Finally she saw the mistake that was being with you.”
“Why you didn’t go the room? It’d be easier… Nobody likes to see a couple almost having sex.”
“Do you have the least idea about how unbearable you are?”
“No… you tell me, you know everything!”
“The most boring person born in the whole History!”
“Thank you. He is a bit fat, isn’t he?” She started laughing. He wasn’t completely idiot then. He was a bit funny.
“Look at you, you are just his opposite! He is perfect.”
“I am not handsome then!?”
“I didn’t say that…but, thank God you already know it.”
“You guys are the perfect couple then! You think you are perfect and you said he is perfect…we have the perfect couple!” She laughed. His ironies were a comic.
“I don’t have to tell you about it. We are not friends. But, actually… I would never want a friend retarded like you!”
“Go…your boyfriend is waiting. Gosh… I don’t like you, but nobody deserves as boyfriend!”
“Leave me alone... Why don’t you go see if I’m in the corner!”
“Because I can see you there…imagine how terrible it’d be?” She left him talking alone.

I entered in my room, thinking about . She was completely weird. Sometimes I hated her, sometimes I liked her. She was stubborn, full of pride and with a hard personality but was talented, funny, obstinate and gorgeous. How I wanted to catch her by the neck sometimes and say: “Hey, look, you don’t have size enough to be like this... You should be like this, but not this stubborn…” I didn’t like how independent she was. She was not the kind of girl that always nods. She was just the opposite and that was disturbing me. Another thing about her was her bad taste. C’mon, a girl pretty like her dating ? Ok, I’m not the most handsome, but… He is worse than me. And when the guys said that they match? Totally fib! She deserves more…not because I like her, but… ? Mad…Bad taste…stupid…

When I got in my room I was thinking about . How a person could be that way? I thought he was different when I was a Westlife fan. Thank God he didn’t know that he was my favorite. He was conceited enough without knowing about it. And he was saying that was fat. Actually, our dating was not good, we rarely saw each other, but he didn’t know about it… And, sometimes he was funny. Just laughing with him. Like my mom used to say: “You have to laugh, because if you don’t, you cry!” I didn’t like a lot of things about him. The fact that he was never about to cede was one of the things. He was always right, the truth was HIM. And he was conceited, stubborn, and… gorgeous, funny, talented, smart… He was a lot of things together. Strange, he was really strange.

The first concert

was walking right to left, left to right. And, , that didn’t lose an opportunity to bother her, started.
“You are trying to open a hole in the floor? Don’t worry, is hard, but you are almost there!”
“ I am just nervous…could you respect this please?” She entered in her room to change the clothes…again. She did it a lot of times. She wore a dress, trousers; probably she wore the entire wardrobe.
The Acoustic set was the next presentation, they entered on stage, sang their songs, and then, said:
“Now, we have a surprise for you… Let’s see who says the correct answer!”
“You’ll take the clothes off!” said a fan.
“Not today” said . The fans tried two or three times more. “Nobody knows… We have a partner, that’s a wonderful singer, dancer and person. Enter here partner.” She was a bit surprised with his words and she entered, wearing a small skirt and a short blouse that showed her belly. looked at her and forgot his words.
“Hey guys…How are you feeling tonight?” Everybody was screaming and she was smiling. The shy girl disappeared completely on stage. It looked like another person. “Now I’ll sing my song, with and I hope you sing along…” she started to sing and in the chorus, they took each others hand and they felt something different, a kind of electricity in the air. He even stopped singing… They were clapping the hand and singing and she was perfect and he forgot all their fights and everything till that day. And when she looked at him he sang and it was the best song of the concert. They came out the stage and the guys said:
“You were both wonderful tonight. Nobody would say that you can’t talk to each other.” joked .
“Yeah. And, what does it mean the size of this skirt? And this blouse?” said . He didn’t like that short skirt and that blouse. Everybody looked at her, he didn’t like!
“What’s wrong with my clothes?”
“Clothes? In Dublin we call this BATHING SUIT!” They keep fighting.
“I thought they would finally talk to each other like people…” said .
“I gave up on them. They just love to fight, what can I do about it?” said
“Hey, we don’t have concerts tomorrow. We could go to a disco…” said .
“Well, if and go, they’ll fight. It’ll be a problem.” said . "Hey, you guys. Could you stop fighting just a second? I know you love to do it, but we want to go out. Would you like to go with us?”
“I’d love to! Can I call ?”
“You’re his tick! You never leave the guy in peace! What a boring girlfriend, poor !”
“Shut up , I am not talking with you.” She called , but he couldn’t go, he was busy. “Oh guys… He can’t go. He is busy.”
“It’s what he said. Who knows if it’s true?”
“If you always lie, don’t think that everybody is like you. Actually, don’t think!”
“So…could we go?” said .

At the disco the deception

They entered in the disco and sat. After, they ordered a few Guinness and started to talk.
“Hey, ” said “your song is playing. Listen…”
“Cool… even here I have to listen to this fucking chorus.”
“If you don’t want to, put your fingers in your ears.”
“Let’s dance?” said . Everybody went and they were all happy. But when looked at the corner, she saw a familiar face. was with a redhead, kissing her. She started to cry. , worried looked at her and asked:
“Hey…are you OK?” She went to the table. followed her and saw the big tragedy.
“Hi ” he was drinking a beer and when he listened to her he choked. “Die another day. Hi dear. … put this ring in your…”
“…nose” said . She run and left there, with that stupid face.
“What are you doing here?” She said, crying when she saw following her. “If you’re here to irritate me, it’s not an appropriate time. You can do this later.”
“No, I know how this is hard.” They sat, and she was crying. That was an ENORMOUS irony. They used to fight a lot and he was giving his shoulder to her to cry. And it seemed natural, like everything was planned, like they should be friends.
“ I could never imagine… How jerk he is…” she ingenuously put her head on his shoulder and he even liked to feel her near. He put his arm around her.
“Hush now, don’t you cry…there will be a better day…I promise you…” she cried a bit and the guys came where they were.
“Hey…what’s going on?” asked .
"Nothing. Guys, I’ll go back to the hotel. But, don’t worry, I am OK. , thank you for all.” She went back on foot.
“What happened to her?”
“Wait!” was angry and went to the ’s table and caught him by the collar. “You are the most idiot person in the whole world and I really hope you know it! You had an amazing girl and you betrayed her. If I was a bit angrier I would hit you, until get you bleeding, because you are a person that deserves it!” He left there and the guys did not understand anything.
“Hey…what was it? betrayed her?” said . nodded, completely nervous. “And you had this jealous attack?”
“It wasn’t a jealous attack. But, even if we can’t have a friendship it doesn’t mean I hate her. She doesn’t deserve it.” After the silence, noticed “It’s raining, she’ll get sick….Poor girl…”
“There’s something happening with them.” said .
“It’ll not end in murder , it’ll end in marriage.” –said .

The next day

“Hey ” said . “Are you OK?”
“I am …”
“, your mobile ringed the entire night. Sucks!”
“I know it . I’m sorry if everything that happens to me bothers you.” It was and she didn’t answer. She’d not answer anymore.
“, calm down mate” –said in low voice.
“OK . If he wants to provoke me, let him do it. I don’t mind if he doesn’t like me. Gosh… I am tired… ATCHIM! And I feel cold.”
“But it’s hot!” said .
“She is with fever.” said . “You’d better take a rest…”
“We have concert tonight. If you’re not OK to do it…”
“No I will do it...ATCHIM!”
“But you can’t.”
“, it’s not fair with the fans. I’ll not die in the middle of the song, is just ATCHIM flu. And you guys need me in the concert too.”
“You shouldn’t!”
“But I will do it…”
“Why don’t you listen to me once?”
“Because you are wrong…just that…is not a flu that will drop off me!”
“Stubborn.”
“Just me.” ATCHIM they keep discussing.

After the concert

During the day and during the concert had a paternal preoccupation with her. Every break they had he saw how was she. After the song, they finished the concert and came back to the hotel.
“We finished. Now, you’ll rest until next Friday, ok?”
“But I am OK… ATCHIM! It’s just flu…”
“You are burning in fever…” said worried. “You got to sleep.”
“But I have to…”
“We don’t fight have almost 5 hours. Please! Don’t be stubborn now! We’ll go upstairs and I’ll take care of you.” It was ironic again. He would take care of her and a few days later they just couldn’t see each other. She thought it and laughed. “Why are you laughing?”
“It’s ironic! Yesterday, today…”
“Maybe we should be friends… I think in my heart, deep, very deep, I like you a lot little girl!” It was sincere. They liked each other. They just refused to admit it.
“I like you too. Just a bit…” they laughed.
“Now, lay down in the bed.”
“Well, if you don’t mind I’d like to change the clothes.” She caught her clothes and went to the bathroom.
“You’re not planning to take a shower now, are you? It is cold, you can’t…”
“I change my clothes always at the bathroom.”
“You’re weird.” Then she came out the bathroom wearing a trouser and a tight blouse. He looked at her, amazed with her beauty again. “Now, lay down. I’ll take the remedies and you’ll be right here.” He came back and took care of her. They talked a bit, in peace for the first time, and she slept. He stayed there, to see if she was better. Looking at her sleeping he felt a crazy desire to kiss her and laughed. Kiss her was an odd thing. No…he couldn’t be…Of course not…
After a few hours, she started to rave. She was having nightmares.
“Hey…calm down…I am here… shush!”
“Mom? Where are you? Sing that song of the mountain to me…”
“It’s not your mom.” She looked at him. “It’s .”
“, you said this song is a crap. But I want my mom to sing it now. She loved this song and I did it to her, but you said it was a crap!” Now he saw why what he said was so offensive to her. It was a gift to her mom.
“Can I sing?”
“But you don’t like it!”
“Actually I love it. I was just too proud to admit it.” He sang to her, which smiled and slept. He touched her face and thought “Too strong and too fragile… What should I do with you?”
In the middle of the night, he left her and the guys were outside, waiting.
“Hey nurse…is she better?” joked .
“Shut up…She is sleeping. Let she rest!”
“Hey…seriously… Is she OK?”
“She wasn’t. She was with fever, 39ºC, and just didn’t want to rest. She shouldn’t have gone to the show tonight. But, who said that she can listen to me ONCE, just ONCE, she would be better now.”
“… do you think you are in love with her? I mean, is just a possibility…” said .
“No…I am not. I like her, we fight because…”
“You are alike.”
“Do you mean that I am short with big breasts?” joked .
“Sure…” they laughed “No, you have the same personality: both are proud, talented and really stubborn. Imagine , if they start dating…”
“Gosh…I’m not going to date her!”
“We know…we know…”
“I am not!”
“Let’s bet!” said .
“A week!” said .
“A day...” said .
“Stop teasing me” said laughing. Of course he wouldn’t date her…she was just his friend…just that…
The next days were the same thing: he took care of her and they were becoming closer. just talked about her and her about him. Something was in the air.

The next Thursday

She woke up and went to the bathroom. After the shower she wore a bathrobe and someone knocked the door.
“Come innnn!”
“Hey” it was “How are you?”
“Fine, thanks to you!”
“Oh no…you’d be better if you were at home that night. BUT, you went to the concert…”
“It’s what I had to do.”
“Workaholic!”
“I’m not!”
“Yes you are!” They looked to each other and laughed…there was no way they keep fighting. They had a different kind of relationship.
“I can’t fight with you.”
“I can’t too.”
“You are soooo boring.”
“Thanks. Love you too.” She laughed and caught her clothes.
“Hey …could you look at the wall…I’m going to change my clothes…” he turned and they started talking. “Today we don’t have concerts…I’d love to go to the cinema.”
“If you promise you won’t throw the coke can in my head, I’ll go with you.” She laughed and combined: King Arthur at 19:30

At the cinema

“You look great. All this is just to me?” said , when saw her in the blue dress, loose hair and that smile that he loved.
“Of course is not for you! It’s just to attract the guys. I am single now!”
“Oh….you doesn’t need this dress. You have your natural beauty.” She blushed and her cheeks, that were red, turned redder.
“Thanks.” they started talking, but they didn’t discuss, at least, not the way they did before…they discussed about the radio station, or the favorite ice cream flavor, things like that. They were going out the cinema, after the movie and then she saw .
“Hey” he said. “How are you?”
“Fine . Where is your girl?”
“I thought it was in front of me. Can’t you give me another chance?” couldn’t listen anything more ridiculous.
“Hey, listen, you were kissing another girl. Why does she have to forgive you?”
“She decides it .”
“If you were a man you would admit what you did and leave her alone!”
“But I need her!”
“Bullshit!”
“…I don’t think so. It’s over…OK? …let’s go.” walked away and then she started fight with .
“What was that? You forgot the word respect again?”
“No. I just…You saw what he did!”
“Yes, but he was MY boyfriend and it is MY decision forgive him or not!”
“You want to be betrayed again?”
“Sure I don’t want it. But it was my decision. And if I wanted to try again ? I dated him for 4 years…FOUR…it wasn’t two moths like you and !” They were screaming at the parking lot.
“But…I DON’T WANT YOU TO FORGIVE HIM!”
“WHY YOU DON’T WANT TO ?”
“Because I love you!” And then he caught her and gave her a kiss. She pushed him and said.
“Hey…but…”
“Can you be quiet just a second?” And he kissed her again and she kissed him back. “I love you… Do you understand that or I’ll have to draw?”
“Erm… Could you kiss me again…I didn’t felt you love me…you know?” He laughed and he kissed her again.

At the hotel

They arrived hugged and the guys saw.
“I WON THE BET” screamed “I said 5 days…Gosh I am the best!”
“Are you really dating guys?” asked .
“Yes… We are…”
“Who could ever imagine that you would be together?”
“Yeah…It’s his entire fault. He used to fight with me.”
“You used to!”
“Me? Oh no…LIAR…”
“There are some things that never change…” said and he and the guys keep watching the loving fight.

The End
