OMG! That Manager is as big of a Jerk as Sterling is! That Manager is lucky that all he got was Strong words and The "Look" from Sharon! But at least Colm had the Guts to beat up Sterling!

Wonder what Sterling's holding over the manager to make him ignore Sterling nearly admitting he tried to drop the light on Keith?

Colm glanced at Ryne and whispered, "Is she okay?" Neil just shook his head. "She's pretty shaken up. She's only spoken to Keith since this afternoon." Colm knelt beside her and began stroking her hair, but she didn't respond. Just kept staring into space until Keith appeared from the back. She ran to him, and he wrapped his arms around her. Colm just stared. What had happened, that she ignored him, and went straight to Keith? The buses started rolling, and everyone retreated to their bunks. Colm lay down, confused, while Keith helped Ryne onto her bunk and kissed her head before getting in his own. It had seemed like she had liked him, and then that jerk had to show up. Ryne was terrified. She had been running from her fear for a long time, and suddenly the demons of her past had returned. She'd had a string of bad boyfriends that used her, and this was the straw that broke the camels back. She couldn't handle any more pain, or her fragile heart would shatter. She reached under her pillow, and felt the knife that lived there. Keith was sad. Sad for Ryne's past heartache, sad for Colm being ignored, and sad for himself. He had promised Neil he wouldn't get involved, and then his heart took the wheel seeing how that guy had scared her. Sharon was worried. She knew how panic attacks worked, and was worried that Ryne would become clinically depressed. Of all the theaters in Chicago, and the lad had to work at that one?
Intense! What is Ryne doing with a knife?

Poor Ryne! I feel bad for Colm. But being a Keith girl I want Keith to end up with Ryne! I don't want Ryne to become clinically depressed! And somebody better find that knife and take it from Ryne, before she hurts herself!

The next morning, eveyone was shocked. Ryne was acting happy and bubbly, and was talking to anyone who would listen. Not about anything important, just about the tour, and how did they sleep last night? Neil finally took her aside and asked her about it, gently, and she told him, "I didn't sleep last night. I stayed up all night prayin', askin' God why? He told me that he had a plan, and to move on. Walk the path he's lay before me, and not look back. So that's what I'm doin'." Keith and Colm were the most confused. While she talked to both of them, she did not come to them first, or look to them for comfort. When Keith asked her to dinner, she told him she had other plans. She told Colm the same thing. They both just shrugged, and looked questioningly at the other. No, I'm not takin' her out. Are you? No. Sharon was just glad she was not going into depression. No one knew about the knife under her pillow, or the gun in her bag.

Ryne slumped against the bathroom door. Putting up a pleasant front was exausting, as evidenced by the fact that she had just grabbed a cardigan instead of a top. Neil knock on the door. "Ryne? You okay?" "Yeah, hey Neil? Could you grab me a t-shirt out of my bag? I didn't grab what I thought I had grabbed." "Sure." He quickly found her bag and unzipped it. Apparently her shirts were in the bottom of the bag, because he had to dig. His hand brushed something hard, and he pulled it out. He rocked back, stunned. The other lads came to ask what Ryne had said, but also stood stunned at what Neil held in his hand. He was holding a pistol with a silencer.

This post is dedicated to George, and his being a Father to all his bandmates.
"Ryne Cailin! What is this!?" "Well since I'm in the bathroom without a shirt and can't see you, I don't know!" Neil was freaking out. "Here! Put this on and then you have some explaining to do!" She stuck an arm out the door and took the green shirt from him. Five minutes later she emerged with a toothbrush in her mouth. "W'a'?" She mumbled around the toothbrush. Neil just held up the gun. Her eyes went wide and she groaned. "You wern't supposed to find that. Oh I am such an idiot!" She flopped on her bunk and hid her face. "Ryne," Colm began, "What are ye doin' with that gun?" She groaned again. "I have a concealed carry liscence you know!" "Ryne," Neil took a deep breath, "What were ye plannin' te do with this?" "Nothing!" "Ryne!" "Fine. I was so sick of the pain, I decided I was gonna end it. I was gonna wait until we were away from Mom, and then shoot myself." She dare not look up to see the looks on their faces. George sat down on the edge of the bunk and began rubbing her back. "Did ye ever stop and think about what yer Mum might do? How much pain that would cause HER?" Ryne peeked at him from under the pillow. "No, I guess not." "And we all love ye, do ye think we would like it?" "No." "So what do ye think we should do?" "Here." She pulled the knife out of its hiding place and handed it to George. His eyes widened slightly, but he took it. "Do ye mind if we pray fer ye?" She nodded her head and sniffed, trying hard not to cry. They sat on the floor and the other lads surrounded them, laying hands on Ryne's shoulders. "Dear God, we know how hard it is to be in pain, and it seems like it will never end, but ye are the Great Comforter. Give Yer comfert and peace te Ryne, she need ye now. Thank ye Father, Amen."

And that is why I will miss George so much! So happy they got through to Ryne and she turned in both the gun and the knife! I hope now the true healing for Ryne can begin!

After that episode, Sharon didn't trust Ryne by herself. One of the lads were with her at all times, and Nicole went with her to the bathrooms. Ryne was embarrassed, but was touched that the boys cared so much. The next concert was tense, but the Lads kept up their happy-go-lucky additudes. Keith, Colm, and Neil were hovering so much Sharon told them to leave and left Ryne with Ryan. "So what do ye like te do fer fun, Ryne?" He asked as Keith was singing. "I read a lot. You will think it's stupid, but I am on a website where all the stories are about you guys. Ye are the main characters, and most often the storyline is one of you falls in love with; a dancer, lighting tech, fan, or musician. Every once in a while you fall in love with a person who has never heard of you, or ye don't fall in love at all. Those are usually one-shots based off of yer twitter or facebook posts." After she explained what one-shot were, he had to sing before he could give his opinion. Ryne sighed as Keith sat beside her, almost on her he was so close. "What's wrong?" He asked worriedly. "I'm fine! Just let me be, okay?!" He looked hurt by her outburst, but didn't move. After that Ryne went silent and did not talk for the rest of the day.
How was that?

Great update! Love how you brought Nox into the story! Glad Sharon took the precaution not to leave Ryne by herself. Keith, Neil and Colm need to give her some breathing room. FYI: When this story site was a year old it was discovered that Paul Byrom found out about the site, and had read some of the stories! To this day we have no idea if he told the others! We do have people who log in as "Guests" so it makes you wonder if those "Guest" could be one of the Lads!

I can't imagine Paul NOT telling the other guys, if only to see the stunned looks on their faces....That would have to be seriously weird on their end.
