My day started out as a normal school girl’s day would be, except it was Saturday. I woke up to the sun shining in my room Eight AM, I was ready to start my day and usually on Saturdays nothing exciting really happens so I just got up poured a bowl of cereal and some fruit punch and proceeded to eat my cereal and take a drink of my fruit punch when my cell phone rang. Confused, I picked it up; I questioned my phone ringing at eight
in the morning as my friends are all still sleeping in from a long week of School and finals it was May 18th 2013 two days before school was to be out for the summer. My eyes became wider in shock “IRELAND?!” I exclaimed “a call from Ireland? But how?? I guess I better answer it, it could be important…” I answered and said “Hello?” on the other line a familiar voice replied, “Alyssa, this is Neil from Celtic Thunder could I talk to you for a moment?” I was absolutely speechless! And without hesitation I replied “of course!’’ Neil then proceeded to speak with me; I am now,
moments away from my life being changed forever. Neil then said “listen closely Alyssa, our band member and friend Ryan Kelly was hurt in a serious accident and is in need of a kidney transplant” tears began to stream down my face I was fearful for his life. His fans, his band, his family what if something happens to him there’ll be mass devastation! I then asked, “Is he alright?” Neil said “fraid’ not it’s pretty serious he doesn’t have much of a chance to live we haven’t been able to find an eligible donor and you I’m afraid you are his last hope.” “What can I do?” I said; Neil replied “We’ve paid your way here to Moy Village, Ireland can
you be at the airport as soon as possible?” being In Navy ROTC I realized going to save Ryan’s life would mean giving it up for good because having one kidney you can’t really do too much physical activity but Ryan, his family, fans, band and friends mattered more so willingly I replied “Neil, I’m in Navy JROTC but I’m willing to give it all up to save Ryan y’all matter more and Ryan as I am a huge fan of him… I’ll do it!” Neil replied “wonderful! Pack your things and be at the airport as
soon as possible our private jet will be waiting for you.” And I replied “Got it I’ll be at the airport in no time! See you in a few hours! I will call when I arrive in Moy Village.” Neil replied very good! “Godspeed Alyssa! Have a safe trip we shall pray you make it here safely!” “Thank You Neil!” I replied. We hung up I grabbed my carryon bag and my sea bag as I figured I was going to have to pack a lot especially since I figured I was going to be
in Ireland for a few weeks to a month. I tossed my bags on the floor, “hmmm let’s see; night clothes, street clothes, a few dress clothes, blankets, pillows, laptop and charger, cellphone charger, Hair brush, Make up, jewelry, my bible, and a couple stuffed animals”. I dressed in my uniform and grabbed my bags and passport as I knew I’d need it to get in to Ireland. I locked the apartment door and I left a note on my apartment door for my
nana the note said gone to Ireland I’ll explain more later when I get a chance to call you or write you I got to get to the airport! Love, Alyssa. I grabbed my bags off the ground as my ride arrived, “A limo?! Wow this must be Neil’s doing I’ll have to thank him this is really getting exciting! The limo driver hopped out and grabbed my bags for me and opened the door for me to get in, he took my bags and put them in the back trunk “thank you sir” I said he nodded as if he was saying no problem he was pretty
silent on the drive to the airport my phone rang again it was a face time call from Neil I answered “hey Neil!” “Hello again Alyssa has the limo picked you up yet?” “ah yes it sure did! I can’t thank you enough it’s quite wonderful” “ah no problem the guys and I just wanted to do something nice fer ya!” and I think they want to say hi to ya as well! “HI ALYSSA!!!” they all said. “Oh my gosh!
Hi George, Hi Keith, Hi Colm, Hi Emmet!!” I replied and I smiled at them all, “we can’t wait to meet you Alyssa! we were so relieved to hear that you were coming to Ireland to save Ryan and we just want to say Thank You, giving up something you love can’t be too easy especially if you wanted to serve in the Navy when you got older.” I replied, “Well I did but saving Ryan I felt like would be more important, you know what I mean? In my eyes it’s an honorable thing to do even though some may think I’m crazy for thinking elsewise but it doesn’t matter what others think all that matters is that I’m saving a life.” The guys nodded their
heads in agreement, “well guys the limo is approaching the airport, I better get off here so I can catch my flight.” Ok we’ll see you soon Alyssa! They all smiled at me, Neil came back onscreen “alright we’ll see you soon Alyssa enjoy your flight!” Neil said “I will!” I said smiling “Bye Neil!” I said “Bye Alyssa!” Neil Replied. The limo driver grabbed my bags for me and opened my door, he then waved after I got my bags and said “good luck Alyssa!!” I waved back and said Thank you I was escorted by
body guards as by now the news that Ryan would live because of me, reached the fans. Albuquerque News reporters and newspaper crews surrounded me I decided I’d pull out my phone to film the craziness I pressed record and said “Neil! This is crazy news must have reached the fans too soon and its total chaos right now! Good thing I have escorts so thanks again for that
anyway it’s getting crazy so I guess I better quit recording and move quickly before I could finish what I was saying, a reporter approached me and said “Alyssa! Do you know the current condition of Ryan Kelly?” I replied “I prefer not to answer that question to protect the privacy of Ryan and his family, but I would like to make it known that I am his life saver that is all I will say to this point.” “No pictures; stay back! Give her room!” The police were yelling commands at the crowds as to distract them so I could pass through. When I reached the inside I was
escorted to the plane and I kept my camera going until I made it inside the plane, “that was total chaos! At least I made it! See you guys soon!” I smiled and waved and turned the camera off. I sent the video to Neil and typed “wow! At least I’m on the plane now show this to the guys see you in a few hours the plane is about to take off!” I fastened my seatbelt and the plane took off the twenty hour flight began. As soon as the plane was leveled out I was able to pull out my computer and connect to airplane mode internet I logged onto Skype and well what do you know? Neil sent me a chat request! I accepted the request and we were
connected “ah! Hello again Neil! I said “Hello again Alyssa! We got your video!” said Neil. I replied, “really?! What did you think?” He replied, “I agree that looked like total chaos to me, way to go protecting Ryan and his family’s privacy and making it through those crowds!” I replied, “ah Neil, it wasn’t easy but at least I made it and I’m on my way there… How’s Ryan?” He shook his head and said “see for yourself…” he turned the camera towards Ryan it was the first time I had seen him I was in shock my eyes widened and I gasped in shock it was then Neil
told me “Ryan’s damaged kidney is failing and he’s been put in a medically induced coma to try to keep him alive until you arrive.” That did it I couldn’t hold in my tears anymore I cried for Ryan and said “God don’t let him die he doesn’t deserve to die please let him live!” Neil couldn’t hold back his tears anymore either he cried with me there wasn’t a dry eye during the conversation we were all crying as he was just put in the coma; time was ticking the flight attendant came to what all the fuss was about. She saw the computer with Skype on and the guys and I crying and she saw Ryan she ran back to the cockpit and a moment later the loudspeaker came on “we will be taking a slight detour we
are now ten hours away from Moy Village in Ireland” I looked up “it can’t be! Neil! The pilot took a detour!! I’ll be there in ten hours instead of twenty!!” Neil breathed a sigh of relief and said “oh thank god! Just hurry here to the hospital as soon as you arrive don’t hesitate!” “I promise I’ll be there as soon as possible” I replied. “Ok, I’ll let you go now so you can get some sleep and you should almost be here by the time you’re awake.” “Ok Neil see you soon!” “Sleep well Alyssa!” “Thanks Neil, goodnight” we disconnected at the same time, I put my laptop away in my storage compartment, reclined my seat, covered up with my blanket, and went to sleep. I slept for nine hours and woke up an hour away from Moy Village. “ pulled my seat back up fastened my seat belt and prepared myself for the landing an hour later, we finally reached Moy Village in Ireland, I stepped off the plane into the beautiful night air of Ireland my escorts greeted me “Welcome to Ireland!” I nodded and they
escorted me to my limo once again my bags were put in the back and I got in the limo and the driver wasted no time getting me to the hospital Ryan was at; thank god there were no news crews waiting for me when I got off the plane. I called Neil, “Hey Neil I made it I’m here!” he replied “ah good! I’ll wait for you outside see you soon!” I replied “Ok, see you soon!!” we hung up and soon enough we arrived at the hospital I was so nervous there was Neil the limo driver got out and opened my door for me I
stepped out Neil was right there to greet me I smiled at him and said “Neil!” we gave each other hugs and Neil said “so glad to finally meet you Alyssa! Welcome to Ireland!! Our road manager will take your bags to the tour bus we better get inside to Ryan.” I nodded and we went inside we walked up to Ryan’s room and we walked in Neil then said to the guys “Alyssa’s here” I stepped in and we walked over to Ryan’s bedside I took off my hat and took Ryan’s hand and said choking back tears “Ryan, I’m here now I’m sorry I couldn’t make it any sooner, Neil was telling me you were in too much pain and your Kidney was failing so they had to put you in a coma to keep you alive but I’m here now and
you’re going to be alright I promise” I had a necklace on with the Irish symbol I took it off and put it on Ryan’s wrist and a tear fell down my face and on Ryan’s hand. I stepped back and Neil and I comforted each other with a hug. Sure enough after Neil and I hugged, Damian came in, “I came as soon as I heard about Ryan!" This must be Alyssa,how nice to finally meet you the guys were talking about you before I came here. “Nice to meet you Damian" I replied.
Will Ryan live? Will Ryan and Alyssa (me) both make it through the transplant surgery? what about Damian and Alyssa(me) could it be love with them? find out in the next update!!
