I closed my eyes trying to calm the butterflies flitting around my stomach. I heard the beeping around me and tried not to think about what was going on. I heard whirring sound as the x-ray machine started. After a few minutes it stopped and I stepped out. The clicked something on the small computer and stood up. “I’ll be back in a few minutes with the results.” I closed my eyes again. Nothing made sense right now but I tried to trust God. About twenty minutes later the doctor stepped into the room. “I don’t know how to tell this to a twelve year old girl but… this sickness that invaded your body… we can’t stop it. You’ve got seven months until it takes full affect and… I’m afraid to say you’ll die.” He said quietly. My mother burst into tears and I sighed. “I think I knew the whole time.” I replied hugging my mom. “Mom, it’s okay.” I told her. “I’m not afraid for me, I’m afraid for dad…” it’s kinda hard to tell someone who already has depression issue’s that their daughter has seven months to live. “Off to Disneyland.” I said jokingly. My mom looked up at me. “Do you want to go to Disneyland? I mean if you’ve only got seven months we might as do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Fulfill your bucket list.” I smiled. “Well it’ll take some planning but there are some cool places in the United States I’d like to see.” I said. “Thank you.” My mother said to the doctor standing up to leave. I wonder what I want to do? I thought as we walked out of the doctor’s office.
Two days later I heard the chime of the doorbell. “I’ll get it!" I said dashing from the table where my mom and me were planning the trip. I opened the door. “Hello I’m Cindy, I’m from the make-a-wish foundation.”
I know this isn't very Celtic thunder yet but it will be.

I opened the door. “Hello I’m Cindy, I’m from the make-a-wish foundation.” I blinked. “Umm…” “Come in.” my mother said from behind me. “Now Katie, I understand you won’t um, be around much longer.” Cindy said when we were all seated at the couch. I nodded. “Well the make-a-wish foundation wants to grant you a wish, we can get almost anything, take you almost anywhere, and you can meet almost any one.” She said moving her hands as she spoke. (Cause some people do that) “Now thinking about this might take awhile so-” “I think I know what awanna do.” I said cutting her off. “And what would that be?” she asked smiling. “I wanna meet-”
“Sharon fan mail came!” Bill shouted down the hallway. “Oh and here’s one from the… make-a-wish foundation.” Said handing it to her. she opened it up and read it. She pulled out her phone and dialed the number on the paper. “Hi this is Sharon Browne manager of Celtic thunder-”

“Um, so why are we here?” Emmet asked from his seat on the couch. “I’ve agreed to work with the make-a-wish foundation to grant the wish of a twelve year old girl in St. Lois Missouri America.” Sharon answered. “And what’s going on in this girls life that the make-a-wish foundation would grant her a wish?” Colm asked. Sharon looked at him. “She has a disease that allows her to live only seven more months.” She said seriously. Emmet grimaced. Neil just looked plain sorry for the girl. “What’s her name?” he asked. “Katie Marsh.” About two weeks later. I don’t know why but the second I went to my room to pack I started giggling uncontrollably. “What are you laughing about?” I older sister asked coming in. “Just the trip.” I said managing to stop. She grinned. “I still can’t believe we get to meet Celtic thunder!” she exclaimed. I smiled. It was me and my nineteen year old sister flying to Ireland to meet them. I couldn’t get the butterflies out of my stomach and I knew it would get worse the closer I got. This was also my first airplane ride so that added to it. “I still can’t believe we’ll be in Ireland for a month!” I added. She nodded. “Make sure you pack a toothbrush.” She said leaving the room.

“Make sure you pack a toothbrush.” Micah said leaving the room. I rolled my eyes. “Sure thing mom!” I called down the hallway. Micah grinned. I finished packing and skipped down the stairs. I heard sniff’s. “Mom… I know this is hard and… I’m sorry I won’t be with you, but don’t cry… you know where I’m going.” I told her gently. She nodded and hugged me. “I love you.” She whispered. “You want me to make dinner?” I asked. “Sure there’s the things for grilled cheese already on the counter. I nodded and left to start making it.
“It’s really sad.” Ryan said quietly. “What?” Emmet asked. “I don’t mean to give people the “taking things for granted speech” but… I twelve year old girl without a chance… it’s pretty depressing that we think our life span of eighty years is so short.” Keith nodded. “You boy’s better not be like this when she’s here.” Sharon said sternly. “From what I know she’s ready to die.” Neil winced at the word “Die”. “Well I gotta go.” Keith said standing up and walking out the door. “See ya guys later.” Ryan said leaving.
I tried not to bounce up and down as we boarded the plane. “I can’t believe they got us first class seats!” I said excitedly. Micah grinned. “Soda whenever we want.” She added. I smiled. My sister is definitely a pop person. We found our seat and I shivered as the plane made it’s for the runway. “Please buckle your seatbelts.” A woman said through the intercom. I stared out the window the whole way until we left the ground and I tried not to bounce with nervousness.
I think this is the first story I've done with really depressing parts.

How sad! But knowing the Lads the way I do, they will make this a month neither Katie or Micah will ever forget!

We finally left the plane and I was shaking with nervousness. We didn’t meet Celtic Thunder for a week but how would you feel if you were in Ireland? “Let’s go get the rent car, and get to the hotel. Then we’ll worry about eating something.” Micah said as they grabbed their bags. It took them awhile but they finally found the rental service. “Where’s me ford focus!” I muttered quoting Tim Hawkins. Micah frowned at me. (She doesn’t exactly Like Tim Hawkins the most hilarious person in the world)
“I almost don’t care about food.” I said flopping onto the full size bed. “Gasp! What did you do with Katie?” Micah exclaimed backing away. I grinned. “Can we order pizza?” I asked not even bothering to sit up. She grinned. “I’ll go ask the people downstairs for a good place.” She said walking out the door.
Neil sat on the couch thinking. “I still can’t believe this girls gonna die at age twelve.” He said to himself.

I do believe Jet Lag caught up with Katie! And it looks like Neil is having a hard time coming to grips with what Katie is facing. Wondering if the others are having a hard time making sense of Katie's condition.

“I still can’t believe this girls gonna die at age twelve.” He said to himself. “Woah that’s cold!” I gasped as I put my feet in the salt water. “Duh!” my older sister exclaimed froma few feet back. We had found that the pizza place was right in front of the water and just wanted to see what it felt like. (After all I’m the one who took the dare to go outside in short’s and a t-shirt to roll in the snow.) I quickly stepped out of the water and pulled my shoes back on. “Best pizza ever!” I said after swallowing a mouthful of pepperoni pizza. Micah nodded in agreement. “I wish I was a little younger then people would stop giving awful looks.” She said quietly. I scrunched up my nose. She laughed.

First line was Neil. I've started connecting updates like so at the beggining of this next one it'll be "I wish I was a little younger then people would stop giving me awful looks"

"I wish I was a little younger then people would stop giving awful looks." She said quietly. I scrunched up my nose. "I can't believe some people." I said taking another bite.
A week later. I think I might puke. I mean Celtic thunder its just... Wow! Micah kept smoothing her hair and clothes ( she's meeting Colm can ya blame er'?) I mean I'm twelve but even I'll admit I'll have trouble not staring at his eyes. "Katie calm down." Micah told me from her seat across from me in the limo. "Oh you want me to calm down?" I asked like she was crazy. She rolled her eyes. The car pulled to a stop in front of the studio. We climbed out of the limo. "Hello my name is Sharon Browne." Greeted the woman at the door.
