“Hey hun, you still coming with me when I come back?” asked “Yeah, I can’t wait to surprise her.”
“That’s great, I’m almost done here so we can leave tomorrow.” The girls chit chatted for a bit before had to go back to her apartment and pack.
“What time is going to be here?” asked walking into the
kitchen and giving a big hug.
“I’ve got to pick her up in about two hours.” “This sucks that I can’t stay here with you.” pouted. ran her hand through his hair and smiled. “Well, when you’re here we tend to have sex a lot and I’m pretty sure won’t want to hear that, so for the time being we'll have to deal with this."
“So when do I meet this famous ?” “Later on tonight if she’s not to out of it”
“When is this stupid plane going to land?” asked for the hundredth time in the past ten minutes. She hated flying, all she wanted was to know she was safely on the ground again.
“, chill. We won’t be long, ok?” said rolling her eyes. “What do you got there?” asked looking at the pictures in 's hands.
“Pictures of when we were on tour with , way back in the days” “Cool, I still can’t believe is getting married.”
“I know, I’m sure you and Joshua will be soon. Jackson has a ring to it. I’ll be the only single one left.” said giggling.
Although she was happy for her friends and she loved being single, sometimes
she just wished that she had that special someone that she was madly in love
with.
She was getting bored waiting for Mr. Right to come along. Maybe she should
look for him instead.
“” called coming over to her.

“What? OH MY GOD, ” exclaimed hugging her.
“I thought you would like my surprise” said smiling.

“I’m excited to finally meet them” said “Do I look okay to meet such big stars?”
“t, you’re just as big as them” said “You look much more like a star to me then they do”
“Oh thanks, ” said and the girls kept talking until the boys showed up.
“Hey ladies” said coming into the living room. looked at and he couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she was. Her hair fell past her shoulders, her skin was tanned and her eyes sparkled. shook his head and thought ', you’re getting married, stop looking at other women like that'.
“So t, this is , , and ” said introducing her.
“Hey so nice to finally meet you, guys” said hugging all of them.
“Same, for sure we love meeting celebrities” joked.
“You really look like a Hollywood Girl, , I have to say” said.
“Oh thanks, I think” said giggling “I hope I’m not too much like them though, because most have an eating disorder and drug addiction”
“You look like one minus the bad things” said.
noticed how quiet was and how he kept looking at her. He was really good looking. thought how sexy he looked. Why didn’t she have a boyfriend?
“So guys, we're going to Lilly tonight since we got two new ladies with us” said winking at and .
“You mean you party?” smiled “Oi cheeky yes, we party and no one parties like the Irish” smiled.
“Well you lot go and get ready, us girlies will meet you at the club, ok?” said.
The lads said goodbye to and . Just as the lads were going stopped and kissed . couldn’t help but wish it was her.
unpacked her clothes, for that evening she decided on a black Tulle ruffle
dress and silver sandals with deep make up, bringing out her eyes more.
She had straightened her hair and put it in a bun with a few strands sticking
out that she back combed.
“I’m ready” said walking out her room to see just about to knock, she was wearing jeans and a baby doll top.
“ is in the car waiting” picked her bag up and followed behind .
The lads had been sitting in the club for the past half hour, ’s eyes were on the door the whole time. So when he saw the girls walk in he jumped up and headed for the door.
For some reason he was aiming for but found himself in front of hugging her then moving onto then .
“I’m getting drinks in, anyone want to help me?” asked looking at then .
“ or will, I need to sit in these shoes” laughed and headed for the table with in tow.
watched walking to the table, his stomach doing back flips, she had her hair down all curly, she was wearing knee high boots and a short pink corset style dress.
“Guys, do you have any tablets? I’ve got a headache” asked knowing that none of them would
“Hey girls, where’s and ?” asked “Bar” said sliding in the seat next to him.
“Ok well, before you came we were talking about a group holiday, what do you think, do you think will be up for it?” asked.
“ is up for what?” She asked helping put the drinks down.
“Group holiday to Barbados” asked “Yeah well, if you guys are going then I’m going for sure” She said sitting next to and .
“So group holiday coming up” said smiling and rubbing his hands together.
It was a few hours into the night, everyone was dancing apart from , and .
“Right, dance anyone?” said standing up “I would but I’m going to go home, I feel so ill I think I’m going to be sick” replied.
looked at , a worried expression on her face “I’d love to, babes, but I’m taking home if that’s ok, I’ve got my car” “Yeah that's ok, hun” said leaning down and kissing gently on the lips.
“So , do you want to dance with me?” asked, his eyes lighting up, took his hand and followed him to the dance floor.
drove to ’s flat, both were silent until she parked her car in ’s drive. “Is in, do you want me to get her for you?” turned to look at her smiling cheekily “No , and I was a very, very bad man I lied, I feel fine, I just wanted to get you alone” He lent over and started to kiss . After a few minutes he took out ’s phone and texted , telling him to get home safe and that she was staying at ’s because he was far too ill to be alone.
“, we shouldn’t, you know we're going to have to end this soon,
don’t you? I can’t keep doing this, I’m going to be ’s
wife and I don’t want to hurt him” said as led into
his flat.
“Yeah, but we can make the most of it” kissed her again.
sighed deep inside herself. She would have to stop this some how, she couldn’t keep seeing and be with . The more she was seeing on the side the more she was falling in love with him and that was never going to happen, it was just sex with , he’d never love her or want to be with her in that way.
“Ok , for now” said letting her give into him.
It was the early hours in the morning, and the other had gone, and
had decided to walk back to ’s.
“Do you want to go for a walk around Hazelwood’s, there’s a lake there, it’s an amazing place?”
looked down to the floor then back up to , she definitelly liked him, he was an amazing person, caring, funny, real, friendly. He was everything that she had ever really wanted and had been looking for in a man. She couldn’t help but think how lucky was. Maybe if things had been different and she, and hadn’t decided to call their group quits she would have met and they could maybe be together.
Her and had some sort of chemistry, it was quite clear. Well at least they would be good friends.
“Ok sure”. smiled. After getting a cab to drive them quite close. Getting out of the car took off his jacket and placed it around 's shoulders and took her hand. “So you don’t fall, ok?” He smiled down at her.
As and walked they talked about loads of things, from being kids to life now and their hopes, fears and dreams. found himself telling things he hadn’t even told . She was easy to talk to, not that wasn’t, it was just different, they connected on some level. He liked her, that was for sure. But he was putting it down to nervous of the wedding perhaps.
stopped at the side of the lake and looked out at the moonlight hitting the water, it was lovely. She turned to look at and smiled “It's amazing, this whole place is amazing.”
nodded his head and walked down to where she was. “You cold?” He asked, nodded. wrapped his arms around her, they both looked at each other, no words were said as they both edged towards kissing each other.
When ’s lips touched 's she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. She had missed this so much. She never gave anything else but her and a second thought.
pulled away from and smiled at her, to which she smiled back.
“That shouldn’t have happened” said “But is it wrong that I don’t care?”
“Yeah, let's go, ” said walking away from him, tearing up. She wanted to hers and ’s because she could feel didn’t love him like she should, like there was someone else but would never do that, would she?
“, stop” said pulling her back to him “I wanted to kiss you, I have wanted to all night”
“, you’re with my best friend” said quickly wiping a tear from her cheek “And you’re getting married. I’m the worst best friend and bridesmaid ever”
“No, you’re not, ” said hugging her “This wasn’t your fault, we both did it and wanted to do it”
woke up early the next morning, gathered her things, wrote a note saying she had gone home and left for her flat. When she got there she found asleep on the sofa.
“Baby, wake up and go to an actual bed” whispered but before she knew it had her down on the sofa with him.
“Morning hun” whispered huskily “Is better?”
“Yeah must have just been something he eat or drank” said instantly feeling awful for what she had been doing to .
quietly snuck by the living room and back to her room with her coffee. This was never going to work, she needed someone here or she had to leave because watching these two was killing her. never in her life believed in love at first sight but now she had to because of .
She took out her phone and texted her friend Carter. She knew he was on break from Trading Spaces and that he would do it for her. She just needed a pretend boyfriend until she could get out of Ireland.
Carter texted her back saying she really needed to learn that not everywhere was the same time and some people were sleeping but yes, he would come.
was so excited she almost jumped out of her skin. Now, everything was going to be fine. Carter would be there and she didn’t even have to pay attention to .
“Hey guys” said coming into the living room once she was showered and dressed. Her hair was up in a messy bun and she was wearing a very long tank top with black leggings and ballet flats. looked at her wishing he could be with her but he knew he couldn’t because of the woman sitting beside him, his soon to be wife.
“So, I have a friend coming over, is that okay?” asked “He will stay at a hotel”
“He can stay here, t” said.
“A he? Who is coming over?” asked instantly getting jealous.
“A friend I kind of see on and off” said “And don’t worry, he already said he would stay at the hotel because he didn’t want to be in the mix when the wedding plans really get going”
“Well, he is more the welcome” said smiling at ”
“Thanks, I’m going to go out for a bit” said getting her things and leaving.
looked at “So Mr , what do you want to do?” She asked
wrapping her arms around his neck. “Umm I don’t know, I’ll
call you, I need to go out, I’ll be back soon, ok babes?” With that
was out the door.
was making his way back to his place when he saw walking along the road, so he pulled along side her.
turned to see who the car belonged to and sighed when she saw it was . “Get in” said opening the door for her. got in and looked at “What can I do for you?” She asked turning to look out the window as drove off.
“Why do you feel the need to invite a guy over here, ?” He asked pulling over into a side road and parking up.
“What are you talking about, , he called, asked if he could see me I said yes, what is your problem, it has nothing to do with you” She snapped back.
“You’re only doing it because of the kiss and you feel guilty about it as you wanted it as much as me, so you’ve got this guy to come here.”
shook her head in defence “That’s not the case. He’s my boyfriend so mind your own business, that kiss was a mistake, it’s never going to happen again”
looked at her, before he knew it he had grabbed her and was kissing her, when never stopped him he deepened the kiss. He started to remove her clothes, they both found themselves in the back seat of his car.
was sitting in the kitchen flicking through some more wedding pictures a
few designers had sent her. She wasn’t really in the mood, her mind kept
drifting back to how she was going to end it with when that morning paper
caught her eye. She picked it up and scanned over it. Her heart jumping in her
mouth. “ does charity jump”
read the article about doing a jump all she could think of was what
if he died. She picked her keys up and rushed over to his. As she got around
the corner she could have sworn she saw ’s car parked in the side
road but she shrugged it off.
“Do you want to come back to mine?” asked helping put her clothes back on, just looked at him, part of her wanted to go the other part was saying no. What was she doing? Maybe if they spent one day together then it would be over with, even that or it’d make it worse.
When got to ’s she banged on the door until he answered.
“, most people just knock once and wait” said laughing and moving aside to let her in.
“Why in god’s name are you going to jump out of plane?” asked sitting down on the sofa.
“Because it is for charity and I have always wanted to do it” explained “Hey why don’t you do it with me because sure as hell won’t?”
“You have to be kidding me, ” said “I’m scared to death with you doing it so I will never do it myself”
“Please ” asked sweetly “There will be instructors doing everything, we will just be on their backs”
“You’re wasting your breath, ” said giggling at him.
“I’m doing it with or without you so why don’t you come along?” said kissing her neck.
“Maybe, I will think about it” said pulling his face to hers to kiss him.
and were sitting on his sofa drinking coffee, neither of them wanted to speak but knew some talking had to get done.
“What does this all mean?” said, finally breaking the silence between them.
“I don’t know yet but I know I really like you but also know I’m meant to be marrying ” said sighing and placing his coffee on the end table “I know one thing, I want you call this guy and tell him not to come”
“, but maybe it is better if he did come, I would stay with him at the hotel and you and could, I dunno, lock yourselves away and you can pretend I’m nothing but her bridesmaid” said looking away from .
“But I don’t want that, I want you” said moving closer and making her look at him “I need to be with you”
grabbed her phone and texted Carter and told him she over-reacted and there was no need from him to drop what he was doing and come over to Dublin. She was just being silly about everything.
“He’s not coming over” said looking up at , who pulled down on the sofa with him.
“Good” he said kissing her.
That evening everyone was meeting at ’s for a movie night and to make final plans for the group holiday. and were setting up when and both arrived.
“So what movies do we have tonight?” asked flopping down on the sofa.
“Some horror flick picked out” said “And she knows how much I hate them”
laughed “While will sit with you and make sure you feel safe, plus he doesn’t like them much either”
“Then why did you get it?” asked.
“Me, and love them” said going back for the kitchen.
“I’ll help with the rest” said following .
“So I get to protect you, huh?” whispered, just rolled her eyes and laughed.
was standing at the table watching and and how and were, he never said much but he was very observant, he was starting to see that relationships were forming where they shouldn’t be.
was putting some snacks into bowls when she felt someone wrap his arms around her waist. Turning around she saw smiling at her.
“, don’t” She said moving out his arms. “Sorry,
so you thought more about jumping with me. You can protect me”
sighed “Ok I’ll jump with you, just so I know something doesn’t
happen to you because if it did I’d” she stopped quickly before
she said something she didn’t mean to say
“Very cool and nothing will happen to me babes” picked up a few plates and took them into the living room.
The gang talked about the holiday and decided that they would go a few days after and did the jump.
While they watched the horror film found herself sitting on ’s lap, wrapped in his arms while she rested her head on his chest and she had full permission so she didn’t feel guilty.
But deep down inside her she knew if she was in 's place, she’d never let another woman be this close to him, she'd want him to herself.
Looking down at smiled “Hey she’s asleep, I’ll take her up” said gently moving forward.
carried her up the stairs and into 's room, where he laid her on the bed, kissing her head gently as he moved some of her hair away.
“You’ve really messed everything up, . Life was simple before you now look what you’ve done to me and yet I wouldn’t change it for the world, I just don’t know what to do.” kissed her again before heading downstairs.
Over the next couple of days everyone was hanging out and planning the group holiday and the party for after ’s and ’s jump. Almost everything was in place for the holiday and everything was perfect for the party for and . That would be at Lilly’s and would go until whenever they decided to stop. The day of the jump came quickly, almost too quickly if you asked , she was nervous but really wanted to do it with .
“You ready for today, love?” said coming into her bedroom.
“Yeah, I am, I’m nervous as hell but I’m ready for sure” said smiling at him “ should be here soon then we will go to the base and you guys will come a little later”
“That is the plan” said kissing her forehead. They were growing apart daily. didn’t have the feelings for he once had. He just hoped it didn’t show too much.
They heard a horn beep and went to the window to see if it was and it was, so she kissed and left to head for the base. took a deep breath and headed to ’s room, he knocked gently and headed in to find in her in a white fluffy towel.
“Hey sexy” said closing the door behind him.
“Hey, just ready to leave” said picking out some jeans and cute top.
“Can you stop for a second?” said pulling her to him.
“No because then we will be late and you know it” said giving him a smile.
“I don’t care” said kissing her and pulling her towel away.
“Where are and ?” asked “They’re gonna jump soon”
“There they come” said pointing as and ran up to them.
“Cutting it close to the future wife jump from a plane mate” said giving a look.
“She hasn’t jumped yet, has she, ?” said giving him a look right back.
“There they go” yelled.
The jumps went perfectly and they raised over 10 thousand dollars doing it. Once all the press and everything was over from the jump everyone headed back to their places to get ready for the party.
decided on black trousers with a red silk halter top. As she did her make up she went for a soft lip and dramatic eyes then she just threw her hair up with a few pieces hanging down to frame her face. She then headed to ’s room to see if she was almost ready.
“Hey hun, almost ready to go” said coming into her room.
“Yeah, just have to change my shoes” said going to her closet to get out her silver stilettos. She was black corseted strapless dress, her hair was a mass of curls and her make up was down perfectly.
“You look great, , who are you trying to impress?” joked.
“Shut up, I guess I’m just used to having photographers after me day and night so I always have to look good since I will not be one of those celebrities getting all over the magazines for looking like a homeless person” said laughing.
“No, you really never will, ” said going downstairs “Let's go and get this party started."
The party was already going strong when the girls arrived. Some of ’s friends pulled her away as soon as they got there so went to look for the lads herself, since all ’s friends wanted to know was about the jump. spotted them as soon as they came in and now all he wanted was to get alone. She looked amazing tonight and he just wanted her so bad.
“Hey beautiful” said as sat down beside .
“Hey guys, sorry me and took so long but we don’t just look this hot all the time” said laughing.
“Sure you do” said giving a smile.
“Well, thanks ” said smiling back.
“Hey , come outside with me” said getting up.
“Sure” said following him outside.
“What is going on, ?” asked “You are getting married to yet I can see you really like ”
“You are seeing lies, ” said “I love and yes, I am going to marry ”
“Stop lying, ” said softly “I won’t say anything”
“Okay, I’m falling in love and I don’t love anymore”
admitted.
sighed “You do know you're going to have to call it of with or
. This could just be last minute freak out, it's normal, you’re getting
married in 2 months. It’s normal to have a bit of a fling.”
shook his head “I wish mate, me and are drifting apart, I’m falling for the more time I spend with her. I’m trying to fight it but I just can’t and maybe I don’t want to.” replied looking sadly at .
“I like , don’t get me wrong but you and have been together five years, are you sure you want to throw that away for some fling with , that may not turn into anything?”
shrugged his shoulders, on some level was wrong but he was mixed up with his feelings and there was nothing he could do. Maybe he would talk to and tell her about or spend some alone time with , but first he needed .
and walked back into the club, seeing wasn’t at the table but the bar, he asked for a dance.
Once on the dance floor he wrapped his arms around 's waist as a slow song came on. “This can be our song” whispered as Bryan Adams' 'Please Forgive' played in the background.
rested her head on his shoulder, taking in the smell of his aftershave and the words of the song. Was in love with her, if so, what was this really going to mean? Although she was staying with , was finding herself trying not to be in the same room as her for too long or even hang with her that much, in fear that would know what was going on.
It was the day of the holiday, everyone met at the airport, they were taking Simon's jet so they would get to Barbados faster.
found himself sat in between and , so when fell asleep he leaned over to and told her to meet him in the back.
got up and waited out back, ten minutes later walked out and being pulled into the toilets, where started kissing her.
“, stop it, the group's outside. “ “Umm” said kissing her deeper and running his hands over her. “When we get to there me and you alone”
When they opened the door was standing there. “You two are pushing it close” He walked back to his seat.
They finally got to their destination, they had booked a lovely beach house that
was on the beach, it had 8 rooms and was just mind blowing.
Everyone decided to go for a walk along the beach. As the group started to head out pulled back.
“Me and you alone” He said kissing her, followed him knowing something was going to have to change.
“, before we do this I need to tell you something. I love being with you but is right, we are pushing it, we can’t do this no more, it's got to end.” said trying to control her emotions.
looked at her hurt and confused “But , please, we can work this out, I just need a bit longer and I’ll sort it out.”
leaned down and kissed him "one more night, , then I’m checking into a hotel and you and can be alone. I don’t want you in that way.” She lied.
wanted to protest but maybe this was 's way to say she didn’t want to be with him but he wasn’t so sure.
“Well if this is the last time then let's make the most of it” pulled onto the bed and started to kiss her.
was walking behind everyone else, she looked for and , couldn’t
see them, she looked at and walking ahead, the conversation she heard
them say on the plane flashed into her head.
“I’m giving up my career for you” told “You are, oh my god baby, that’s great, I love you so much”
“, word please” turned around and nodded, he kissed before stopping in front of .
Once everyone was out of ear shot took a deep breath “Our thing is over, I’m marrying , I love him, you need to be with and I need to be with .” nodded his head not knowing what to say.
turned around and went back to the beach house, when she got inside she climbed the stairs, she could hear noises coming from one of the rooms then ’s name being called out, she knew it was .
She got to the top of the stairs and opened the door “Having fun, are we?”
She said.
and pulled apart and looked at her in horror “It’s not
what you think, , I promise, I’m sorry” said.
“It's not, so you’re not in bed with my best friend, ok, silly me. When you're through I’ll be down at the beach”
turned on her heels and ran down the stairs and down to the beach.
“What’s happened?” asked confused “Stay here, I’ll be back” said and went inside the house.
“Oh god , she knows, she’s going to hate me” sobbed on his shoulder “It's ok, she won’t hate you, shhh, it's ok, I'll sort it, don’t worry”
“, I’m telling her the truth” looked at him in horror, he couldn’t do that, could he? She watched get dressed, as soon as he was out the door she was dressed and packing her stuff, she couldn’t be here, she had to go, she just had to.
walked down to the beach and sat next to . “I love you, , and I want to be with you, I can forgive you, I want to be with you, don’t leave me” sobbed.
“I love you, I’m sorry, it just happened, well, been happening a lot, can you live with that?” He asked “Yes, I want you, don’t leave me please” “Ok” said “We'll bring the wedding forward, just don’t hate ”
“I won’t I forgive you both, ok, just stay with me if you want to, I don’t want to make you stay” “I’ll stay” said, what choice did he have? didn’t want him, even if he didn’t believe her they were over, he still had so this was where he belonged. Maybe with not around he’d get over her and fall in love with again and it’d go back to the way it should be.
knocked on 's door “, you there?” He asked, opened the door, tears falling from her eyes. “Oh , come here”
pulled into his arms and hugged her tightly.
“I didn’t want any of this to happen” said in between her sobs “I have to get out of here, ”
“I know you didn’t, t” said comforting her “There is a hotel just down the way, hun, I will drive you down there whenever you want.”
“Thanks, , I want to go now” said wiping her eyes “I can’t be here when they come back”
“Okay, let's go, hun” said taking her suitcase to the car.
“What’s wrong?” asked seeing ’s red eyes “And where are you going?”
“To a hotel and you will find out everything else soon enough” said leaving the house.
and came back into the house, neither looking good and leaving even more confused.
“Where’s ?” asked as he felt the grip had on him tighten.
“She left for a hotel” said and came into the room.
“What the hell is going on?” asked “This was supposed to be a fun time”
“, I should check on her” said. shook her head “She is a big girl, ”
“Please, someone fill us in” demanded.
“ and had a fling but I have said I will forgive both of them” said calmly “We are moving the wedding up too and I have more news”
“What is it, ?” asked not even wanting to know.
“I’m pregnant” lied.
“What?” exclaimed.
“That’s right, hun, we are going to be parents” said hugging him.
had stayed with for a bit before heading back to the house. He knew for a fact now was in love with and he could tell how much she was hurting right now. He wanted to tell her everything was going to be okay but of course he didn’t know.
was sitting on the bed crying, you would have thought she had run out of tears by now but they just kept coming. She was going to lose and , her best friend for most of her life, was going to hate her more than anyone could. She had to leave, she couldn’t be the maid of honour because she was the slut. She slept with the groom. She hated herself. She heard her phone go off with a text message, she grabbed her phone and noticed it from ' forgives both of us, she’s pregs, I miss you, xoxox '. dropped her phone and ran to the bathroom to throw up. This made feel like the scum of the earth. pulled herself from the bathroom and into her bed before falling into a very restless sleep.
The next morning was on the fastest plane back home, she had seen that
morning, she had given him a note for and .
had tried to make her stay but she knew she couldn’t, she had to go,
it was the only way she’d get over . Not that she would ever get
over him.
Over the next month had gone back to work in Canada and was recording a new album, she was speaking to quite often about things, she missed like mad. She looked over to the calenderer, today was the day married .
Back in Ireland everyone was running around making sure the last touches to the wedding was going to plan.
looked in the mirror and sighed. He and had become closer again but it was more like friends. He was happy about being a dad but he wished things were different, he played the scene with walking in over and over again in his mind, how things were different, he and were able to come clean about their love and it was them getting married.
“You ok?” asked appearing behind him. “Great, I’m marrying the woman I love so yeah, great” looked at him “You're not, mate, the girl you love is in Canada, you're marrying someone cause you feel you have to.

I know she told you she didn’t but she does, she wants you to be happy. I want you to be happy. , there is still time to get out of this” said placing a hand on ’s shoulder.
“Thank mate but I’m fine, it’ll be fine”
was fussing with ’s hair, talking about the wedding and everything, all felt like was a robot. She was acting out what she was meant to be feeling. In reality the past month had been hell. Yeah, she and had talked and got back to a level they had lost but she knew he didn’t love her.
She felt guilty as hell, she took a letter out her purse and looked at it. It was the letter had sent her, telling her how sorry she was about the affair with but she had fallen in love with him, how she would hate herself for the rest of her life for it. But herself was no better.
She had been seeing , on the side fell in love with him but the only difference was loved back as much as loved , she had seen it all along but shut it off. never loved her back, it was just whatever the hell it was.
“Right hun, you're ready” said smiling, smiled back at her, taking the flowers as they made their way to the church.
“You’re a lucky man, mate. I know all the stuff that happened but good luck” said slapping gently on his back.
“Thanks , want to change places?” said joking but really wanted to swap places “Yeah I wish, mate” winked and went back to his seat and looked at , who smiled at him “Be us someday, babe” nodded his head, his thoughts miles away.
Soon the service was half way through, it was at the point that most people hate.
looked at the priest as he asked ‘if anyone hear didn’t see fit why her and couldn’t be married.’ She wanted to jump up and scream me, me, me I’ll give you 50 reasons why.
looked at and shook her hand to get her attention. They just looked at each other and both knew it wasn’t right.
“We do” They both said together “Excuse me?” The priest said “I have a reason why I can’t marry .” said hearing gasps and cries behind him “I also have a fare few reasons why I can’t either” replied.
The priest led and out the back then went back to tell the guest to
go onto the reception. Only , and stayed behind with the girls.

silence.
“, I’m sorry I can’t marry you. I don’t love you like that no more, I don’t know what happened, I’m sorry but I can’t live a lie. I know you're pregnant and I’ll support you but I can’t be with you, it’ll kill me.” confessed, tears in his eyes.
“I’m not pregnant, ” “What?” He snapped shocked “I lied, the thing is when I saw you and I freaked, I didn’t want you to go. I didn’t want to be alone, I was selfish. I saw the look you both had, I knew you loved her and her you. The thing is. I’m just like you and in a way. Oh god , I’ve been seeing behind your back. It happened one night, he was missing , we had a fight we got drunk it just got out of hand but somehow I fell in love with him. He doesn’t love me back, I did end it but I’m not over him. So when I saw you two I knew what was going to happen so I did what I did to keep you when I should have said go be together” said bursting out crying.
looked at her, he wanted to shout at her but he couldn’t, he walked over to her and held her tight.
“We're a right pair, aren’t we? I love you, , I do, but I don’t love, love you. is who I want. Maybe it was a blessing. But we're not meant to be together even before it seems clear.”
nodded into his shoulders “Go to , , she loves you. Find her, marry her, have loads of kids, be happy, I’m sorry”
“I’m sorry too, thanks hun, you’re still my best girl, ok?” said wiping her tears “You’re my best guy” kissed her gently and ran out the door.
“ wait, what’s going on?” shouted as ran
past them “I’m going to get back”
looked at “I’ll go” He rushed after “I’ll come with you, I know where she is” “You what?” “I’ve been staying in contact just in case.”
The two rushed to the airport.
walked into the back room to see if was alright but she wasn’t there, just her flowers “Where’s ?” asked once had come back.
“I don’t know, she went out the back way” “Will go back to the house to see if she’s there”
“She wouldn’t go there. I know she wouldn’t, it's too obvious” said “How do you know?” asked puzzled “I know , she would run away from this and everything. We should spilt up” ordered.
and managed to get flights over to Canada, they were lucky, if they had been two minutes later he would have had to wait till the next day before flying out and he had waited long enough.
The flight was long and even longer for as he wanted to see as soon as he could. Once the plane landed and took off to ’s apartment in Halifax. When they got there she wasn’t there so called her and she said she was in the studio so she couldn’t take long. said that was fine and she could call him later. They jumped into a cab and headed for the studio. When they got there was in the middle of recording a song. Her back was turned so she didn’t see them come in. sat down and listened to her voice. There was something different about her music and voice, it was sweet and soft, not the pop band girl she used to be. He closed his eyes and just listened to her voice.
“To you I would give the world
To you I'd never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right
And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before Like never before” When she finished you could
tell she had wiped tears away. The producer told her that was great and she
needed to turn around.
turned around on her stool and saw and standing
there. She slowly walked back into the other room.
“What are you doing here?” asked softly.
walked over to her and pulled her into a hug “I love you” he whispered in her ear instantly began to cry “Me and weren’t meant to be. I need you, , I’m not whole without you”
“I’ve missed you so much” said “I love you too, ”
kissed her so gently “I can’t imagine myself with anyone but you”
“So that is a wrap for tonight, huh?” James, her producer, said. just nodded and wiped her tears away “Get out of here, kid”
, and all left the studio and headed back to ’s apartment.
“Well, as much as I would love to stay with you two, , could you drop me off at a hotel?” said with a little laugh.
“Yeah, he really shouldn’t come with us” said laughing along with .
“You guys are so foul sometimes but yes, I will” said trying not to laugh.
Once was settled and went to her place. hardly had the door open before was kissing her.
“I have missed you more than you will never know” said unbuttoning her shirt.
“I think I have an idea, babe” said kissing him back. “Nah, not quite yet” laughed.
was sitting on top of a bunch of rocks by some caves on the beach. The only sound you could hear was the waves crashing against the rocks and the odd sniff.
“I should get a toy surprise” A husky voice said behind, sighed, why did he have to find her? just chose to ignore him, which was fine until he sat down next to her.
“If you wanted to hide you would have been best to get changed out of your wedding dress, you wouldn’t be so obvious” said trying to get some reaction from her.
“I’m sorry about you and , do you want to talk about it?” “No, who cares about me and , I don’t, , can you just go away and leave me alone, I was happy until you came along.” spate back, well, it was true, she was happy until her and started their little affair.
gently rested his hand on hers. “I can say the same about you” looked at him confused.
“Well I was happy with , well, I thought I was happy with , then when we started to see each other I don’t know. Something changed and I seemed to only be happy when I saw you”
“Yeah, happy you were getting laid, I was a fool to go with it” “, I’m being honest, you did something to me, maybe it's always been there, it wasn’t until we started to sleep together and I started to see you not as ’s girl. Come on, I don’t know one who’d jump out the plane to make sure I’m ok. I don’t think anyone has ever done anything so sweet and selfless for me before.”
shrugged “’s given up her career for you” “Where did you hear that?” “That night I found out about and , I over heard your conversation, told you she’s giving up her career for you and you said you loved her and was dead happy about it, that you could be together”
frowned “, cares about herself and she hasn’t, she’s
got a part in a film and will be doing that. doesn’t care about me,
not really, not the right way. And yeah, in a way I was happy I guess. Hell ,
you were marrying my best mate, what was I meant to do, stamp my feet and demand
you not to marry and ask you to give me, well us, a go?”
“Well at least I would have known you cared and I wasn’t just a
bloody fix for you”
sighed and composed himself. “I’m telling you now, I was green with envy the thought you were marrying , when you walked in the church I wanted it to be the one up there. I’m glad you and didn’t get married. But there’s one thing I want to know from you. I know why didn’t want to get married but what about you, and don’t lie to me, I know when you do”
“What’s one more humiliation? I didn’t want to marry because I fell in love with you” whispered.
smiled to himself, he put his fingers under her chin turning face to him. “Good, I love you too.” He kissed her like he had never kissed her before.
“What about ?” asked pulling away “I broke up with her before I came to look for you, she didn’t take it well but I don’t care, we’ve got a chance to be together and we're going to take it” He wrapped his arms around her, kissing her again.
“Will you come back to Sligo with me?” asked as they
laid in each others arms. “I’d love to but what about everything?”
“Well, I can move here if you want” smiled up at him “You
can’t do that, Westlife need you, I can move over, they have studios over
there, don’t they?” “Yep”. smiled.
moved her stuff out of and moved in with under protest, but it
was the best thing she had ever done. She and had never felt so in love
before, they were planning to get married in the next year, they have just brought
a puppy.
