*This is my first story and im really scared about putting it on here so im just posting the first little bit. If you want more you have to comment.*
Addiline’s P.O.V
“Adda, Jim just asked you a question.” “Oh. Sorry. What?” I said coming out of my daydream “You said before that you’ve been a fan of this group for a while now, so can you give me some back round on them?” “Yeah sure. Um, lets see… Celtic Thunder was created in 2007 by Sharon Browne. It’s composed of five soloists ranging in age from 17 to 42 who are all Irish except for one Scot. There’s Damian McGinty…” “Is he the little one that you like?’ “Yes Dad, but that’s besides the point. Now as I was saying, Damian McGinty is the youngest at 17 and from Derry, Northern Ireland. He has been dubbed the heartthrob of the group by thousands of screaming girls across the country Keith Harkin is 23 and the songwriter of the group. He actually has one of his songs in tonight’s show, ‘Lauren & I’. He’s from Derry too. Ryan Kelly is 31 and from The Moy in County Tyrone. He plays the “bad boy” in the show, but he’s actually really sweet. He can make women of all ages swoon. And then there’s Paul Byrom, who is 30, from Dublin. He plays the “romantic” in the show. He’s the jokester of the group. Then there’s George Donaldson who is the oldest at 42 and the lone Scotsmen. He’s the father figure of the group. Lord knows these boys need someone to keep them in line or at least try anyway.” “Well that was more then I expected.” “Hey, you asked. We’re here.” I pointed out the window to the Charleston Civics Center as it came into view. We parked in the back and started unloading the sound equipment. As I walked through the door with boxes in my arms I bumped into something. “Ow!” came a male voice from the other side of the boxes “Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry!” “It’s okay, I’m fine. Here, let me help you.” he said taking the top box “Oh, thank you, but really you don’t have to. I’m just going down the hallway,” I stopped as the person I had hit came into view above the box he had just lifted from my arms. I felt my face go red as I stared into the blue eyes of none other then Damian McGinty.
Damian’s P.O.V
“Hey guys I’m gonna go walk around a bit.” “Okay, just don’t get lost. Sharon would kill us.” “Thanks Paul. It’s nice to know your concerned for my safety.” “Anytime.” Silently shaking my head I walked out the door. As I walked around the corner someone bumped into me. “Ow!” “Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry!” came a girls voice from behind the boxes “It’s okay, I’m fine. Here, let me help you.” I said taking the top box from her arms “Oh, thank you, but really you don’t have to. I’m just going down the hallway.” She stopped and when her face came into view from behind the boxes t turned a healthy shade of pink. “So where do these go to?” I asked gesturing with the box in my arms “Oh, just down this hallway.” she said as she started down the hall again I followed her into a room and sat my box down on top of hers. “Hi, my name’s Damian McGinty.” I said sticking out my hand “Hi, I’m Addiline Jacobs.” she said taking my hand “It’s nice to meet you Addiline.” I said bringing her hand to my lips and brushing a kiss against her fingertips Her blush deepened and she said “It’s nice to meet you too Damian.” “Do you need help carrying stuff inside?” “Um. I don’t think there’s much left to bring in, but you can help if you want.” “Alright then it’s settled. I’m helping. We don’t want you running into anything else now do we?” I asked smiling as I followed her back into the hallway “No, I guess we don’t. Besides it won’t take as long now.” she said throwing a smile over her shoulder at me

I'm not giving up don't worry but i will be slow in posting the first couple times while i finish it. So now since you've all been waiting so paticently heres the next part.
Addiline’s P.O.V
“So, what crew are you working with?” Damian asked from beside me as we walked down the hallway “The sound crew.” “Really?” “Yeah, why?” “I don’t know. You just don’t look like anyone from the other sound crews we’ve worked with.” I looked over at him and raised an eyebrow as we walked out the door and back to the truck. “There you are. We thought you got lost.” “Thanks Dad. I’m not that bad with directions.” “Whatever you say. Who’s this?” Dad asked gesturing to Damian behind me “Oh. Sorry. This is Damian. I literally ran into him in the hall and he offered to help.” “Wait, aren’t you one of the performers from tonight’s show?” Jim asked coming around the truck ‘Yes sir, I am.” Damian said standing beside me now “Shouldn’t you be getting ready for the show?” “The first thing we do is sound check, and we can’t do that until you guys get here. And that’s not until two anyway, so I went for a walk and got run over in the hallway.” Jim turned to me now, “You ran him over?!” “No, I just bumped into him. I couldn’t see where I was going over the boxes I was carrying.” “Whatever you say. Come on lets get the rest of this inside.”
Damian’s P.O.V
I silently laughed in my head at their playful banter and then a bag was placed in my hands. “Oh, I’ll take that.” Addiline said popping out from behind me “It’s fine. I’ve got it.” “No, I’ll take it. That’s my camera, I’m the only one who does anything with it.” “I would listen to her boy. She’d kill over that thing.” her dad said walking behind us with a box “You’re the one that gave it to him!” she yelled after him His quiet chuckle could be heard as he walked into the building. “I think I’ll listen to your dad and give this to you.” She smiled and put the shoulder strap over her arm. “You can take the last box.” I looked at the box on the ground and then her. “I told you there wasn’t much left to bring in.” “I guess you did.” I said bending to pick you the box
Addiline’s P.O.V
“I told you there wasn’t much left to bring in.” “I guess you did.” he said bending to pick up the box I opened the door him and followed him inside. “Shouldn’t I be the one holing the door for you?” he asked grinning at me “Normally, but seeing as you have a box in your hands I thought I’d help you out.” I grinned back, playfully returning his banter He put the box with all the others and turned to me. “So, why isn’t anyone else allowed to carry your camera?” “Because it’s my life. If anything happens to it I have no career.” “No career? You’re what - 16?” “This coming from the boy who started touring the U.S. at the age of what was it 15? And yes I’m 16.” “Okay, okay you win.” he said raising his hands in mock surrender “Glad you understand.”

Damian’s P.O.V
“So I take it you plan to get some shots of us tonight.” “Only of your mic packs and the stage during sound check.” “What do you need pictures of our mic packs for?” “For our records. And since I’m the only one with anything more then a point-and-shoot camera I was hired as the crews photographer about six months ago.” she said taking off her jacket and turning around so I could see the word “Photographer” stenciled across the back of her kelly green company shirt “So why won’t you get anymore of us?” “Policy, remember? No flash photography during the show.” “Yeah, but that’s during the show. It doesn’t say anything about before or after.” I said leaning toward her a little bit “I guess you’re right.” she said leaning towards me “And as for during the show, let me check something.” “What?” she asked furrowing her eyebrows in concern “You’ll just have to wait and see.” I winked at her before I left to go back to the guys
Addiline’s P.O.V
Just wait and see?! How can he tell me I’ll just have to wait and see?! Even his adorable accent only made it a little less annoying, but that wink! I know he’s up to something I just don’t know what.
Damian’s P.O.V
I walked back into the lounge to find the guys exactly how I left them. George in one chair, Keith and Ryan sitting on the couch and Paul sprawled out on the chair. I sat down between Keith and Ryan and immediately got slammed with questions. “So what’s her name?” came from Keith “Who?” I asked, he couldn’t possibly know about Addiline. Could he? “The girl who’s got you grinnin’ like a fool.” was Ryan’s response “There isn’t anyone, I’m just a naturally happy person.” “Uh huh. Sure.” “Come on we’re gonna be late.” I said getting back up and checking to make sure my surprise for Addiline was still in my pocket “For what?” came from Paul across the room “Sound check.” I said sounding a bit to chipper even to my own ears “Oh I get it. She works with the sound crew.” came from Keith who was now beside me “That makes since. I’ve never seen him this happy about sound check. So what do you say lads, that we go meet young Damian’s new lady love?” Ryan asked as he pushed me back out the door Addiline wasn’t my “lady love” or any other kind of love for that matter. Yet.

Addiline’s P.O.V
“You seemed awful friendly with that singer.” Dad casually said as we prepared the mic packs “He was nice. And what do you mean awful friendly? I’m friendly to everyone.” “Yeah, maybe, but not that friendly.” “Alright. Fine. I was friendly. This is the first time I’ve been at a show where there was someone my age to talk to besides Tyler.” “Hey! I find myself good company.” Tyler said looking hurt as he walked past “Don’t worry Tyler, you are.” I reassured him “Thank you.” “Alright I get your point.” Dad said chuckling at the exchange between Tyler and I “Just don’t get too friendly.” “Okay, Dad. I think I can do that. Besides I probably won’t see him again after tonight anyway.” My heart sank as I said it, but from somewhere the urge to fight for this new budding friendship arose inside me.
Damian’s P.O.V
“Why are you doing all this when you don’t know if you’ll ever see her again after tonight?” Ryan, ever the voice of reason “If this works I’ll see her a lot more than just tonight.” “But what if it doesn’t work, huh? What are you gonna do then?” His voice of reason is really annoying at times. “I have to pray that it does, and if it doesn’t I’ll find a way to fight for it.” “You really think she can do it?” “I’ve seen her stuff, Ry, she’s good.” “Do you think she’ll get it?” “If they like her stuff from tonight it’s as good as hers.” I hope this works. It has to work. I’ve only known Addiline for a few hours, but I already know that I can’t lose her.

Addiline’s P.O.V
“You’re early.” “Well someone couldn’t wait to get back.” said Paul rolling his eyes “Really? And why is that?” I said looking up at Damian and grinning “I have something for a pretty photographer.” he said leaning down a little “And what would that be?” “You’ll just have to wait and see.” “Judging from the look on her face I think she may slap you.” laughed Keith as he watched our exchange “Now why would she do that?” Damian asked “Because you can’t tell me that you have something for me and then not tell me what it is.” I said, cutting across Keith before he could answer Pulling something out of his pocket he grinned and said, “You mean this?”
Damian’s P.O.V
“You mean this?” Her eyes got wide and then confusion crossed her face as she looked at the pass dangling from the lanyard I held in my hand. “I already have one of those.” she said holding up her pass “Read it.” I instructed as I slipped it over her head A look of disbelief crawled into her eyes as she looked at the word “PHOTOGRAPHER” in bold, black letters on the pass. “How?” she squeaked out, looking up at me “I have connections. And my connections have connections. And those connections know people, and those people got you this”, I said picking up the pass, ”so you can use that”, I pointed to her camera, “to take pictures of us during the show, to show my connections afterward.” A small squeal escaped her before she launched herself into my arms. “Eh hum.” we broke apart as her father stepped forward He looked at the pass then at me. He turned back to her and I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding. “Where did he get this?” he asked her “He has connections, and his connections have connections who know people, who got me this, so I can use that to take pictures of them during the show to show his connections afterward.” she stopped to take a much needed breath “What?” her boss, Jim, asked with a dazed look on his face “What, you mean you didn’t follow that?” her dad laughed “How could anyone follow that?” “I’ve lived her for the last 16 years.” “And after months on a bus you learn to speak Damian.” commented George “Here, allow me to translate.” said Ryan “Be my guest.” answered Jim “Damian knows our directors of photography, and they know Sharon. Sharon then in turn knows the people who make the passes and they got Addiline her pass. Therefore she can use her camera to take pictures of us during the show to present to our directors of photography, Jack and Cathleen, after the show.” “Got it, thank you.” “So I take it you like it? Cause if not I can take it back.” I said closing the gap between Addiline and myself “I love it, and if you want it back you’re gonna have to pry it from my hands.” she said hugging me again. “Thank you.” she whispered “You’re very welcome.” I whispered back This is going to work. I know it is.
The next one may be slow in coming but it will come i promise.

sorry it took so long
Addiline’s P.O.V
Fifteen minuets later, after arguing with Damian that yes it was easier for him to turn around then it was for me to walk around him and being dubbed a “fiery little thing” by George, we finally had the guys miced and on stage for sound check. “Are you sure you have good enough seats to get shots of during the show?” Damian asked as we listened to Paul sing the chorus of You Raise Me Up “Yes Damian I’m sure. Just like I was the last three times you asked me.” “I’m just making sure.” “I know. I guess it is a good thing that they kicked me and Tyler out of the booth tonight.” “Yes it is.” he said nudging me with his elbow “Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to go take advantage of the non-policy hours.” As I got up to leave Ryan sat down on the other side of Damian and smiled at me. I still think there’s something going on that their not telling me, but I have a feeling that I’ll find out before the night is over.
Damian’s P.O.V
Ryan smiled at her as he sat down and she walked away. “Does she know?” Ryan asked as he watched Addiline snapping shots of Paul “She doesn’t have a clue.” I said through a gin “You gonna tell her?” “At some point. I think she knows something’s going on.” “You better not keep her waiting too long.” Ryan warned “Yeah I know, but if I tell her too soon she’ll physic herself out and be a mess.” “Good point, but don’t wait too long okay? You don’t want to screw it up before it even starts.” As Ryan was beckoned to stage I thought about what he had said and started planning how I was going to reveal my next and biggest surprise to Addiline.
Ryan’s P.O.V
When I left him he was slipping into deep thought. He seems to be really falling for her. And hard. He’s trying so hard I just hope everything goes as planned and works out. I haven’t seen him this smitten in a while and that one didn’t go so well. I really hope this one goes better, he deserves it and it seems like she does too.
Addiline’s P.O.V
When I returned to my seat beside Damian a few minuets later he was deep in thought, gazing blindly at Ryan singing on stage. I snapped my fingers in front of his face to bring him back to me. “Welcome back.” I said with a smile as he jumped and blinked his vision back into focus “You to. Did you get some good ones?” he asked pointing to my camera “I think so or at least hope so.” “If they’re anything like the others you showed me they’re great.” “Well your very kind, but well see once they’ve been printed.” “Aright, but I already know that they’ll be amazing.” “I hope so.” “They will be.” he said taking my hand I smiled at him as he laced our fingers together. He was about to say something when he was called to get dressed for the show. He squeezed my had on last time and said, “You’ll do great. I promise.” He stood, then turned back to drop a kiss on top of my head. Releasing my hand he walked away to get dressed, turning to give my a wink before disappearing behind stage.

Damian’s P.O.V
“Nervous?” George asked coming up behind me I was gazing out at the filling auditorium. “For her. To be honest I think I’m more nervous than she is about it.” “Well if she’s as good as you say she is the girl has nothing to worry about. And neither do you.” “I know. I know she’ll do great and that they’ll love her, but I can’t help but worry. Things are working out so good I just want them to keep going the way their supposed to.” I spoke the last few words to the audience. I had found Addiline and couldn’t tare my eyes away from her. George followed my gaze and I heard him chuckle. “She sure is pretty isn’t she?” “Yeah, she’s beautiful. Those eyes…you should see the way they light up when she talks about her photography.” I said still staring at her “I look forward to it.” he said clapping me on the back, “You gonna be okay?” “Yeah George, I’ll be fine. I’ll be in in a couple of minuets.” “Alright, but don’t take too long you know how Sharron gets. And she’s already frazzled enough as is.” He walked away back to the lounge and I turned back to the audience. Addiline was right she and Tyler did have good seats, third row, center. I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched her giving Tyler instructions, handing him lenses, readying her camera and fighting to sit still. It seemed I wasn’t the only one who was nervous. I looked at her one last time, memorizing her exact location, before I turned to go back to the lounge sending up a silent prayer on the way.
Addiline’s P.O.V
“Tyler. Did you get all that?” I said smiling at the dazed look on his face “I think so.” “Good. Now if I could just sit still…” “Nervous?” he grinned “Just a tad.” I said fidgeting “Oh only a tad.” he laughed, “Look, just calm down, take a deep breath and chill.” Tyler the ever mellow one. “Right. I’m gonna be fine. Besides it’s not like their gonna offer me a job.” I laughed and sank back into my seat to wait for the show to begin
Damian’s P.O.V
“So have you told her yet?” Keith asked as we took our places “Not yet. And neither are you.” I added for safe measure “Wasn’t going to. When you gonna tell her?” “After they look at her shots. While their talking and I’ve got her to myself.” “Alright, just don’t screw it up.” he laughed “I’m trying not to believe me.” I mumbled I heard Phil introduce the show then the lights dimmed and it was show time.
Addiline’s P.O.V
“What do you mean their offering me a job?!” I asked in a frantic whisper “Exactly that. They’ve been looking for an assistant since before we left Ireland.” he whispered back “Then why not just bring someone from their studio?!” I asked still frantic “They were going to, but then you came along.” he smiled “I’m sixteen!” “Which is why we’re offering you an internship” said Cathleen from behind me “So we can train you.” Jack added “Wh-What?” I stuttered “We’d like to offer you an internship with us.” “I…my parents…school…I…” I spluttered to a stop “Don’t worry dear we’re going to talk to your father and then you’re going home to talk to you mother. We’ll set up a date to meet next week.” Cathleen said smiling “I…I don’t…Thank you.” I whispered “Now lets go find your dad.”
Damian’s P.O.V
Well that went better then I expected it would. Needless to say the show went great and Adda’s pictures we’re amazing. Jack and Cathleen had bee awestruck and I new then that they would offer her the job. Except they didn’t. not really anyway. But Adda as an intern is better then no Adda at all. Now all that’s left is for her parents to agree and for her to take the internship.

Ryan’s P.O.V
“What is taking so long?” Keith complained “Just calm down. Stuff like this can take time.” I said while pacing the lounge We all turned as the door opened and our hearts sank when only Damian entered the room. Our eyes held the questions that nobody wanted the answers to. George was the first to speak up, “Where’s Addiline?”
Damian’s P.O.V
As I walked through the door to the lounge four pairs of eyes turned on me, each holding the questions I couldn’t wait to answer. George was the first to find his voice, “Where’s Addiline?” “Probably with her dad by now.” “Oh. We figured she com back with you.” Keith said “She went to help finish packing their equipment, but she said she’d come say good-bye before they left.” “She didn’t get it did she?” Paul all but whispered “No.” I said shaking my head “Oh. Hey man I’m sorry…” Ryan started, coming towards me “They offered her and internship.” I smiled as looks of confusion and then comprehension crossed over each face. “Wait. Internship. So she’s still coming with us?” Ryan asked, stopping short “Their setting up a date to meet next week.” I grinned It seemed I wasn’t the only one Adda made an impression on. In a matter of hours she had managed to capture the hearts of each one of us.
Addiline’s P.O.V
“They offered you a job?!” Dad asked in a frantic whisper “Internship,” I corrected, “and yes they did. They want me as a photography intern.” “Your mother and I will have to discuss it. I mean this is you going across the country and back again with people you barely know.” “I know, but I can’t pass it up. Someone my age with an internship with a show of this size. That’s unheard of.” I said as tears started to well in my eyes “ I know, but we still have to talk to your mother. We’re meeting with them Wednesday. All three of us.” I hugged him as the tears began to flow. “I love you Bubby.” he said in a choked voice “I love you too Daddy.” I whispered back

Sorry it took a while, but it's heres the next part.
Damian’s P.O.V
I was starting to wonder what was taking Adda so long when I felt my phone vibrate as I text message came in. “Hey. Where r u guys?” “N the lounge waiting for u.” “K. Ill b there n a min.” “Was that her?” Paul asked “Yeah. She’ll be here in a minuet.” I sat down on the couch facing the door and noticed her leaning against the door jam. Our eyes met, mine holding the questions only she could answer.
Addiline’s P.O.V
I leaned against the door jam, propping my hand on my hip, waiting to be noticed. It didn’t take long, Damian caught sight of me as he sat down on the couch. His eyes holding the questions. Our eyes met and I smile as I said, “Wednesday.” Relief flooded his face as he relaxed. I started into the room only to be swept into a hug. I looked up to see George smiling down at me. “He was so worried,” he whispered, nodding to Damian who now had his face covered by his hands, “This show went from nothing to everything for him in a matter of hours.” “I know how he feels. Trust me.” I said grinning He gave me another hug before releasing me to the rest of the group. Saving Damian for last I hugged and talked to the others before settling myself on the couch beside him.

Damian’s P.O.V
I felt her sit down beside me and I lowered my hands from my face. Slouching back against the couch I rolled my head to look at her. She did the same. Grinning from ear to ear. We sat that way for a while, just staring into each others eyes. I was the one to break the silence. “When are you guys leaving?” “About ten minuets. Which means I should probably start back in a few.” she said, her grin slipping to a half-hearted smile “Alright come on.” I said getting up “Where are we going?” she asked sitting as well “You’re going to say good-bye to the guys, them I’m walking you back.” I stood and held out my hand to help her up “Damian you don’t….” “I know, but I’m going to so don’t argue. Now go tell they guys good-bye.” She rolled her eyes and smiled as she playfully pushed me out of her way so she could get to the guys.
Addiline’s P.O.V
I rolled my eyes as I playfully pushed him out of my way so I could get to the others. “Hey guys I’m leaving.” “Already?” Keith asked “Yeah, we have a long drive home.” “Come on guys perk up. She’s not leaving us for ever. We’ll see her a couple weeks.” Ryan said, throwing me an encouraging smile “That’s right and Damian has my number so you can call anytime.” I said, attempting a smile “Don’t tempt us.” Paul said, a slight twinkle returning to his eye “I’m serious, call anytime. Just mind the time difference in some places.” I warned, giving a pointed glance at Keith and Paul “We better get going.” Damian said, coming up beside me and placing a hand on my back “Yeah you’re right, we should probably go.” Before I knew what was happening Damian pushed me forward and George scooped me into a hug. “Watch him for me, will you?” I whispered into his chest “I’ll give you a full report the first time we call.” he whispered back into my hair I gave a half-hearted laugh and pulled away. After three more hugs, a few tears, promises to call soon and a final good-bye, Damian and I walked out the door.
Damian’s P.O.V
I felt tears slide down my cheeks as I watched her say good-bye to the others. I caught Ryan’s glance and smiled as I hurriedly wiped away the tears. Adda slid up beside me and said a final good-bye to the group. She nudged me as we walked out the door and I looked down into her brown eyes brimming with tears. Without a word I took her hand in mine and interlaced our fingers. She smiled up at me, brushing away tears, and I squeezed her hand. As we were walking down the hallway I saw a side hall and impulsively pulled Adda down it. “Damian what are you doing?” she questioned “This.”

Addiline’s P.O.V
I was caught off guard as he pulled me down a side hall. “Damian what are you doing?” I questioned “This.” Before I knew what was going on he turned to face me, catching my other hand, then leaned down to place a soft kiss on my lips
Damian’s P.O.V
I turned to face her, catching her other hand. Leaning down I placed a soft kiss on her lips. It didn’t last long, but it was enough to leave us both wondering. “Damian I…I” she started, turning red “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done “It’s fine.” “No, I shouldn’t have done that.” “No, you probably shouldn’t have, but you did.” “You don’t sound too happy.” “I’m just surprised is all.” “You sure?” “Yeah. I’m sure. Now we had better get me back.” “Yeah. Come on.” We didn’t talk much the rest of the way, but she never took her hand out of mine.
Addiline’s P.O.V
We didn’t really talk the rest of the way, but I never took my hand out of his. As we neared the exit I slipped my hand from his. He looked down with concern in his eyes. “To avoid questions.” I explained “Oh.” “Just a pre-caution.” “So there’s a chance? That you know…” he trailed off “Maybe. We’ll talk about it after we see how the meeting Wednesday goes.” “Sounds like a plan.” He scooped me into a hug and we held on like our lives depended on it. “I’m gonna miss you.” he whispered into my hair “I’ll be back in two weeks.” I said through tears “I know, but I’m still gonna miss you.” “I’m gonna miss you too.” I pulled away, wiping at my tears. Placing my hands on his shoulders I raised on my tip-toes and kissed his cheek. Then, with a smile, I turned and l

Placing my hands on his shoulders I raised on my tip-toes and kissed his cheek. Then, with a smile, I turned and left.

*Time Skip*
Damian’s P.O.V
Addiline’s coming today! I can’t believe it, she’s finally coming! I haven’t been able to sleep for the last two days. I’ve been too busy getting stuff ready. She signed her internship contract last Wednesday and now she’s finally coming! Everything’s ready for her and when I talked to her yesterday she seemed excited, but nervous. I told her not to worry, that we would take care of her. That I wouldn’t let anything happen to her. And I won’t.
Addiline’s P.O.V
“Ready?” Dad asked My flight leaves in half an hour, direct from Pittsburg to Missouri. Everyone had come, from my grandparents to my best friend and back again. “No.” I replied “Neither am I.” he said fighting tears “Daddy…” I whispered, losing the battle with my own tears “You’ll always be my baby girl. You’re my Bubby no matter how far away you go.” “And you’ll always be my Daddy.” I hugged him and held on for dear life, sobbing into his chest. “Hey, calm down, you still have everyone else.” he said while stroking my hair “I don’t think I can do this Daddy.” “Yes you can. You know why? Because I’m gonna be right here.” “Alright. Let’s do this.” Saving my best friend and parents for last I systemically worked the good-byes. The tears only multiplied as the line dwindled to three and my best friend snatched me into a hug. “I can’t do this Evan.” I said trying to control my tears “You can so, Add, and you know it.” “Not alone. I can’t do this alone.” “You’re not alone. You’ll have the guys with you and you have everyone back here. You may be going away, but you’re not leaving for ever.” I pulled back, marveling at his simple logic. He was right, I wasn’t leaving for ever. It’s only three months. I took a calming breath and gave him a shaky smile. “There’s my Add.” he smiled “God I’m gonna miss you so much.” “Not as much as I’ll miss you. What am I gonna do while you’re gone? I can’t fish by myself. What fun would that be?” “You’ll manage. I promise. And I guess we’ll have to live with letters and e-mails until I get back, then we’ll fish till the sun goes down.” “Promise?” “Promise.” I assured him I had managed to quiet my tears and the last few slipped silently down from my eyes as I hugged him one last time. “I love you Add.” he whispered “I love you too Evan.” “Now you better hurry or you’ll miss your plane.” “You’re coming with me right?” I asked, my eyes begging him to agree “I’ll go as far as I can.” he said, squeezing me We turned and walked over to my parents. “Ready?” Mom asked “As I’ll ever be.” I answered My tears had dried for now and butterflies were starting to take wing in my stomach. Dad picked up my backpack and Evan grabbed my hand. As we started towards the gate I began to count down the hours until I would see the guys again.

Damian’s P.O.V
Two hours, that’s how long it is until Adda gets here. I’ve been counting since we heard she signed the contract, going from days to hours and soon it will only be minuets until she’s standing beside me. Everyone’s excited, even the people who didn’t meet her at the show. Sharon and Phil are getting a kick our of watching us get ready. They swear that we haven’t cleaned and groomed ourselves this much since our first performance, and I think their right. We cleaned the bus three times one day and every one of us made our bunk this morning. We want it to be perfect when she gets here, and it will be.

Two hours until I see them. When I talked to Damian yesterday he said everyone was excited and that they had been doing a lot of cleaning since last Wednesday. I still can’t believe this is happening. That in two hours I’ll land in Missouri as the photography intern for Celtic Thunder. I should probable sleep since I was up literally before the sun this morning, but I’m so nervous and excited and scared that I don’t think I’ll be able to. As I wonder who exactly is going to be getting me at the airport, I drift off to sleep.
