Heres your part 3! please read new beginnings then rewind, first which are in the series section. & and just to let you know, if this thread dissapears, that means it's been moved back to the series section
It’s Been a little over 2 months since I’ve been staying here in Virginia with one of my best friend’s family. Right now I’m lying in bed looking up at the ceiling while the other 2 are still sleeping. I decide to get out of bed and walk quietly to the bathroom to brush my teeth then change out of my PJ’s. When I finished I walked out to the room’s balcony. I lean out on the railing taking in the fresh morning air. It wasn’t the same as Ireland but it still felt nice having the wind blow onto my face.
The past 2 months have been great. I was reunited with some old school friends and we gotten to hang out. I’ve gotten to visit some of my favorite places again. Just last week I had the chance to visit the cemetery where the rest of my family laid. It was an emotional visit, tears and all. I miss them so much, I miss the sound of their voices and their laughter. My father’s hugs would always brighten up my day when I needed it.
When I visited them at the cemetery its not the missing them that got to me the most. It was that the faces of them in my memories were fuzzy. I couldn’t understand why that was happening. Was I losing them for good? Even the memories? I couldn’t bare the thought of that. I shook my head and tried to think of something else.
Well one weird thing that happened so far is that Jake broke up with Lindsey about 2 weeks ago and now I think I have feelings for him again and so does he, for me. But nothing like official has happened between us. And for some odd reason I hope nothing does, I mean its just gonna end they same way as last summer. Why go through that again, when I don’t have to. But we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. I decide to call Aunt Sharon to check in and everything. I walk back into the room and grab my cell phone and walk back out to the balcony again, closing the door behind me.
“Hello?” a man said with an Irish accent, it wasn’t Aunt Sharon
“Um is Sharon there?” I asked
“Kathy? It’s Paul!”
“Oh hey Paul!…What are you doing here…I mean there?”
“Oh you know, the lads and I have rehearsals and stuff…how have ye been?” he asked
“I’m great, was just calling Aunt Sharon to check in…How are you?”
“I’m grand…here let me get your Aunt on the phone” in the background I heard him shout out “Sharon!…Kathy!…Phone!”
I giggled “Um Paul? I think your missing some words”
“Hello?” a new voice said
“Hey Aunt Sharon, its Kathy”
“Oh hi sweetie, how are you?” she asked. But before I could answer for myself, I heard someone else in the background shout
“She’s great!” It was Paul.
“Paul stop eavesdropping!” he voice sounded a little distance then before
“Sorry Sharon!” Paul said back
I giggled “Well now you know how I am, how are you?”
“A little exhausted, trying to get everything set for Celtic Thunder Storm”
“Oh, maybe you should just relax for a couple days” I said
“haha I wish, there’s just not enough time for that…but anyways, are you having fun in Virginia?”
“Sure am! Its been great craic here” I reply
“That’s great honey…I’m sorry this was short but I have to go now” she said
“Oh that’s okay, we’ll talk later. Love ya Aunt Sharon! Bye”
“Love you too Kathy, bye” before she hung up I heard her yell “Keith Harkin you sit your tushie down on that couch right now! And stop jumping on it!”
I could help but laugh
- Damian’s POV -
I had nothing planned for another hour until I go to Sharon’s for some rehearsal stuff so I was searching for something to do to keep me preoccupied. I decide to go for a run. I started thinking, then counting in my head silently.
2 months and 2 weeks and 3 days. That’s how long it’s been since Kathy left. The first 3 weeks of summer for me wasn’t how I would’ve imagined it. I wasn’t very social, I stayed in the house a lot, didn’t see my friends that much, and if I did go out it was just for a walk or a mini game of football. Basically, I was a boring person to hang out with. Then one day David & a couple other mates showed up on my doorsteps. They dragged me along with them for a night out, hoping I would have fun. It did help cheer me up and we had some great craic happening that night.
A few days later David was on my doorsteps yet again. He told me that I, apparently have a date that night. Rest assured, I was not happy about that news. I didn’t want him to find me a date for me, who I do not know at all I might add, and plus I didn’t want to start dating so soon after. Especially since I still had feelings for another person, it wasn’t right. But somehow David persuaded me into going anyways.
It turned into a double date kinda thing, with David and Maria being the other couple. I could tell Maria was uncomfortable about me going out on a date with someone who wasn’t Kathy. But she didn’t say anything. The name of the girl who David set me up with Grace McClure and surprisingly we had some things in common and the conversation flowed easily. She has chestnut brown hair with hazel colored eyes, a pretty smile, and was about 5’ 4”.
One thing led to another and we started seeing each other again after that and we started dating. I really like her, and she’s a great gal to be with. I’m now grateful that David set me up with her and convinced me to go out on that blind date. I just can’t help but smile when I’m with her. I look at my watch and think its about time to run back, it’s almost time to go to Sharon’s.
“Eyyy Damo! You’re here!” Keith Shouted
“Yep, went out for a run before I came here”
“Dude you’re all sweaty looking, did ya at least take a shower before you came here?” Paul asked
“Nah, didn’t have time, I sorta lost track of time while out running” I answered
“Out running eh? Trying to outdo me eh?” Ryan teased jokingly
“Oh good you’re here Damo…and you’re a little gross looking…” Sharon noted which made the guys snicker
“Yea I went out for a run and lost track of time so I didn’t have time for a shower” I reply
“Well why don’t you go take a quick shower before we start going over things. I‘ll get you some spare clothes to change into, I‘ll go get them and leave it outside the bathroom door” she suggested
“Okay, thanks” I said and headed up to the bathroom
Sharon goes into another room to get the spare clothes while the guys are still in the living room.
- Living Room -
Keith starts scribbling down something on a piece of paper and throws it at Paul “Psssst!” he said, trying to get Paul’s attention
“What?” he asked. Keith points to the where the note landed
Paul starts opening it up slowly with a suspicion while Keith it standing there with a mischievous grin on his face. Paul silently reads the note to himself while his own mischievous grin slowly shows in his face.
“What does it say?” Ryan asked.
Paul gives him the note and turns to Keith and says “I’m in!”
Suddenly you hear a burst of laughter coming from Ryan. “Oh this is too good, to not be apart of!”
“What you 3 crazy lads scheming?” George asked, taking the note out of Ryan’s hand. He reads it and a smile spreads across his face
“You in, Georgey boy?” Keith asked
“No thanks, I’m not getting into this mess…but do take a picture for me please?” George asked
“Will do!…c’mon Paul & Ryan we’ve got a prank to do” Keith ordered
i hope you guy like it so far, please comment!! oh & with school starting just yesterday my computer time is going to get cut alot so i'll update when i get a chance, which im hoping is maybe tonight? *fingers crossed!*
