Loved the ice cream scene! Ouch! What a way to break up, on the side of the road with the Lads and your best friend looking on!

"Um, okay. Alright. Goodbye James. I guess." Katie turned around and got on the bus before she began to cry. She was unaware of how long she sat staring out the window, but at some point the lads boarded and the bus began to roll. "Katie?" Emmet put his arms around her, "Katie-girl? Are ye okay?" She whipped around. "Am I OKAY?! Are ye really askin' me that? He just dumped me, on the side of the road, in front of everyone, and yer askin' if I'm OKAY?!" Emmet just hugged her again, he was used to her outbursts. When Katie got hurt, she lashed out. When she lost her grandfather, she gave him a bloody nose. He knew she wanted to be held. "Don't do this te me K. Remember what happened last time?" She relaxed in his arms and allowed him to stroke her hair. "Sorry Ems. We...We had been goin' out fer three years. This is harder than I thought." The rest of the lads were studiously avoiding looking at her. After a few more moments, she sniffed and looked up at them with red eyes. "Sorry ye had te see that Lads." That triggered many, 'That's okay's' and 'Not at all's'. Colm gave her a hesitant smile, then sat beside her. "Ye are jest fine." She gave him a watery smile.
That night, Emmet was getting a bottle of water when he heard someone crying. "Kat?" He whispered, "You okay?" "N..n..no..." Katie managed to mumble. She slid off the bunk and sat with him on the couch. He held her until they both fell asleep. They woke up the next morning to a voice. "You guys are in TROOUUBBLLE...!"
Here ya go!

Poor Katie! Glad Emmet and the others are there for moral support. As to the last line I'm thinking either Sharon or Keith caught Emmet and Katie on the couch!

Katie lurched forward. "I didn't do it James!" Then she became aware of where she was. "Oh, sorry..." Emmet was watching her with concern in his eyes. "Ye okay?" "Yeah. I just thought....Nevermind." She stared into space, as if reliving a memory. Emmet touched her arm and she flinched. "No, no. I'm totally fine. Really." She looked up to see who had 'caught' them. It was Colm, and the laughter had died in his eyes. "Katie, Are ye sure? What did he do to ye?" "Well I don't see how that's yer problem!" She snapped at him. He took a noticable step back. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." "No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at ye. Would ye forgive me?" "Of course." "Thank ye. James never did anything to me. I just...Emmet, tell him. I can't." "Colm, Katie has PTSD. She was bullied a lot as a kid, and then was in a car wreck. I tried to make the other kids leave her alone, but I was a pretty scrawny kid. There was only so much I could do." "Oh." "Just forget it. I'm fine unless ye startle me, so no surprises or sneakin' up on me and I'll be fine." Katie stood up and straightened her clothes. "On a different topic, what does one have to do to get breakfast around here?" Keith, who had awakened unnoticed, commented, "A pretty girl like ye don't have te do anythin'." Katie jumped, but Emmet grabbed her hand and she calmed herself. After everyone was awake, they stopped at IHOP. No one mentioned the events of the morning, and Keith ended up with the kid's smiley face pancake whipped cream all over his own face.
What do we think? My characters are writing for me again.

Well better to be caught by one of the Lads than Sharon. Glad they know about Katie's problem with being caught by surprise. And what happened at IHOP to Keith is so goof ball Keith!

The shows went on, and the days past in a blur. Soon the Tour was done and everyone went their seperate ways. Katie, gave her messager name to the lads, and they talked every day. Life went on, and Katie grew tired of just sitting at home. Metty? I'm bored, and need a change. What should I do? Have ye tried a yoga class? Ems, I'm serious. My life has gone flat. Why don't ye come visit? I'd happily buy yer plane ticket. Really?! That would be amazing!

The plane ride there seemed like the longest ride Katie had ever been on. Katie's job did not pay well enough for frequent visits home. When the plane finally landed, her Mum and Da were there waiting. Katie squealed and ran into their waiting arms. "Ahh! It's so good to see ye!" She exclaimed. Her face glowed with happiness. Her parents grabbed her bags and they loaded up in the car to go get dinner. When they arrived at the restaraunt, Katie could hardly keep from squealing with joy. Sitting at the table were Emmet, Keith, Colm, Neil, Ryan, and someone she'd never seen before. Emmet laughed and stood up as she jumped into his arms. "Yer here! Oh it's so good to see all of ye!" She added to the rest of the table. "I don't think I've met ye before?" She turned to the one man she didn't recognize. He grinned. "I'm Emmett. Two T's on the end. I hope ye've got a nick-name for this Emmet so's we can tell each other apart." Katie smiled ecstaticly at him. "I'll just call Cahill here Metty." 'Metty' groaned. "Of all yer nick-names, that's the one ye pick? Why not jest call me 'E' or even 'Em'?" Katie grinned. "Aww, but Metty's so much more fun!" Colm laughed. "Yeah, Metty, let the lass have her fun!" "Why don't ye all jest call me Cahill?" Then the whole table chorused, "No way, Metty!" And burst out laughing. Emmet just sighed in defeat and pulled out a chair for Katie. Hours Later, Katie yawned. "I'm sorry Lads, but I'm knackered. Time change ye know?" They all agreed that it was time for bed, and Katie's parents drove her to the summer house a mile away from the family home. Emmet's house was just another mile down the road and he stopped to help Katie unpack. "So how was yer flight?" He asked as he carried her bags in the door. "Oh, just the longest I think I've ever been on. I can't believe how much I've missed this place, and hangin' with ye lads. Ye know since I danced fer Celtic Thunder, my accent's come back completely, like I'd never left." "How's yer job?" He asked. "Oh well, boring. I thought when I took the job I'd see more of the world, but now I'm stuck in a backwater town with nothing to do or see, and not many friends. I've...I've been thinkin' about, maybe movin' back. Gettin' a job in Dublin or..." She stopped mid-sentence. Emmet was watching her closely, curious. When she left for America, the job she took was a high position in a dance academy. She wouldn't stop talking about how great this job would be til the day she left. Finally Emmet said goodnight and walked the mile to his house, thinking.
Well, long time no update, so her ye are!

When Emmet woke up the next morning his TV was blaring Doctor Who. Sure he turned the TV off, Emmet grabbed his model sword from its stand. Sneaking around the corner he raised the sword high right as a voice said, "You still keep the spare key under the mat? That's dangerous. What if someone crazy broke in using your poorly hidden key?" Emmet sighed. "I just about took yer head off. What time is it?" Katie, for that's who it was, shrugged. "Eight thirty? Time change screwed me up and I'm hungry. Feed me, Metty."
