Chapter 4 Damian
Oh my God, you’ve got to be kidding me!!! My ex-girlfriend is staying in the house right next to mine!!! Why must my life be so hard at times? “Hey Damo, you can pick your jaw up off the ground at any time now.” Keith said, walking over to me. “Who is she anyway?” he added when all I did was punch him in the arm. “Uhhh… the same girl we saw at the airport.” I say to him, but when he gives me a look that shows he has no clue, I add, “You know, the girl you thought I had gotten pregnant.” I can tell he remembers now, because his whole face lights up like a Christmas tree. “Hahaha!!! Oh yeah, I remember now. So, did you get her pregnant?” he asked. “No.” was my answer. He just laughed. “Come on, time to go.” He said, after he calmed down a little. Then, he walk to the car and hopped into the driver’s seat. I did the same after one last look at Mari, who I noticed had stared at me the whole time.
At rehearsal…
“Alright guys, here the song list for the upcoming tour.” Sharon said, handing us each a piece of paper. We all looked it over for a few minutes and then Sharon said it was time to start practicing. “Damian, I want you to go first, and then Keith, and then…” But, I had zoned out after she had said my name. I walked over to the stage and I started singing my song “Home”. I was only at the second verse when Sharon yelled at me to stop. “Damian, darling! What is wrong? You usually never act like this during rehearsals. Is everything okay?” “Yeah, Sharon, everything’s fine. I, uhhh… just have jet-lag and I’m really tired. Sorry.” I say to her. I feel bad because I lied to her, it’s just I don’t want to go into the whole excuse of, “my ex is back and it’s just really awkward because she’s living in the house next to mine, yadada yadada yadada yadada…” “Alright honey, why don’t you go home and get some rest, we’ll continue this tomorrow.” She says. OH THANK YOU SHARON!!! I nod, say my goodbyes and then leave. But, I don’t go home right away. Instead, I go to the park that is down the street. And surprise, surprise, Mairead is there.
*TADA!!! Well, two updates in less than 24 hrs!!! I’m sooo good. Hehehe. Please review!!! They make my world go round!!!!*

Chapter 5 Mairead
“Da-Da-Damian, what are you doing here?” I stutter when I see Damian’s tall six foot something frame standing in front of me. “I was gonna ask you the same question.” He says with a small smile. “Oh, uh, I just wanted to get out of the house. It’s a bit hectic cuz my mom’s boyfriend’s over and yeah…” I say trailing off. But, that’s only part of the reason on why I’m here. You see my mom and her boyfriend were fighting and it just brought back to many memories of mom and dad before they split. “Oh, um, okay. And, to answer your question, I am here because my boss let me off early.” He says to me. There is an awkward silence. “Sooo… uh, how is that music group going for ya?” I ask, trying to be the nice girl and start a conversation. “Oh, you heard about that?” Damian asked. I’m not sure, but I could’ve sworn there was a hint of sorrow and despair in his voice. “Yeah, my mom told me.” I say to him. He nodded and said, “It’s been good. A little hectic and crazy at times, but other than that, I love it.” He says with very little emotion. And now, another awkward silence. “Damian, what are we doing? We’re acting like we don’t even know each other. I mean, I know we split up and yeah, but still. You don’t have to treat me like I’m one of those loser geeks that you don’t want to be seen with.” There, I said it. I said what’s been haunting me ever since I saw him at the airport this morning. God, it felt good. He doesn’t answer me right away, but when he does, his answer takes me by surprise…
*well, what do ya think Damo said to Mari? Please review and tell me what ya think!!!*

*well, here it is, the answer to your guessing*
Chapter 6 Damian
This is it, I have to tell her. I take in a deep breath and say, “Mari, the reason I have been acting the way I do with you is that… God, this is really hard to say. Um… the reason is that I’m afraid that if I hang around you for too long, I will fall in love with you again. And, I know you won’t be able to love me back because I’m looking at your ring finger and your wearing your Claddagh the way you would wear it if you’re in a relationship. And, I just don’t want my heart broken again.” There, I said it. Man, did it feel good to get that off my chest. Now, all I gotta do is try to look at her. When I do look at her, I see tears streaming down her face. “Damian, I’m so sorry. I… if I wasn’t dating my boyfriend of three years, I swear to God I would kiss you right now and fall head over heels in love with you again!!!” she cries. I say nothing. All that’s running through my head right now is that she’s been dating this guy for three years. Now, I’m regretting telling her that I still might be in love with her. “What’s his name?” I finally manage. “Sam. Sam O’Malley.” She informs me. What a loser name. I say in my mind, trying to provide some comfort to myself. It doesn’t work. “Uh, well, I hope he’s good to you. I’ll see you around.” I say getting up. And just as I start to walk off, I hear her calling my name. But, I don’t stop. When she calls my name a second time, I do stop, but I don’t turn around. She runs up to me and looks me in the eyes, her emerald green eyes staring longingly into mine. “Damian, we can at least still be friends, right?” she asks timidly. Friends. I’d rather be more than friends, but hey, you can’t pick your battles. “Friends,” I say, “I’d like that.” And, as soon as I said that, I know I mean it with all my heart. I give her one last smile, and walk off towards my house, feeling better than I had all day.
*well, was that what you all expected??? Review and let me know!!!!*

*finally i was able to write this!!!!!!* Chapter 7 Mairead
Three weeks has gone by since I told Damian the truth about my boyfriend Sam. And, we’ve hung out everyday since. “Mari, Damian’s here!” my mother hollered up to me. “COMING!” I shouted back. And with that, I sprint downstairs and come face to face with Damian. “Hey!” I say, giving him a hug. “Hay is for horses, now lets go.” Damian commented, taking my hand. I look up and smile at him and then follow him out the door. “So, what are we gonna do today?” I ask. “Well, I’m taking you to go and meet the lads today.” He told me. “You mean I have to go to one of your practices?” I asked, praying he would say no. “No. We’re going to go and meet them at the ice cream place in town.” He said. “Oh, cool.” I say. There is a small silence. “So, what’s new with you?” Damian asked trying to make conversation. “Really Damian? You see me like every single day! You know exactly what’s going on with my life now.” I scoff at him. He just shrugged. 37 minutes later… “Well, here we are.” Damian said stopping in front of a place called “Flint Farm”. He opened the door and held it open for me. “Thank you.” I say with a smile. He flashes me one of his small gorgeous smiles. Wait, did I just say gorgeous? Oh my God, I did! I need to snap out of this! I have a boyfriend. I mean sure, he hasn’t talked to me in over a week, but still… “Hey, there they are.” Damian said breaking my thoughts. I looked to where he was pointing and sure enough, I saw five really tall guys waving at us. “Is it just me, or are they really tall?” I whisper to Damian as we head over to them. “It’s just you midget.” Damian says with a laugh. I punch him in the arm. “I hate you. And, I’m not short, I’m fun-sized.” I said, quoting a t-shirt that my best friend from back home gave to me. “Fun-sized? Really?” Damian asks. I just playfully push him. By now we have reached the guys. “Guys, this is Mari. Mari, that’s George, Neil, Paul, Ryan, and you’ve already met Keith.” Damian says, pointing each of the guys out to me. We all say “hi” except for Keith who says, “Yeah, sorry, but when I first met you, I thought that you had carried Damian’s child.” I know he’s joking, because he’s laughing as he’s saying this, but I can’t help but turn beat red. “Don’t mind him Mari, I think he had one too many beers today.” The oldest guy, George, says to me. I laugh at this. “That’s funny. When I ran into Damian and Keith at the airport when I first got here, Damian said the same thing.” I say. They all laugh and we sit down as Damian and the guy Paul go up to order our ice creams. Lets just say, sitting with three guys that you don’t know that well, it can be pretty awkward. “So, Mari, how do you know Damian?” the guy Ryan asks. “Oh, uh, before my parents divorced, we used to live here and Damian was my neighbor. And also, we dated awhile back. “OHHHH… so that’s why Damian was really shy around you when we saw you at the airport! And that’s also why he shot me death glares and nearly killed me every time I brought you up!” Keith exclaimed. I stare at him quizzically. “What?” I asked. “Uhhh… never mind.” Keith rushed out. I shake my head and let the subject drop as Damian and Paul come back. “Orders up!” Paul says, handing us each our ice cream. “Thanks.” I say quietly as Damian hands me mine. He flashes me another small smile. After a few minutes we are all laughing and having such a great time, that I didn’t even hear my cell phone ring. I look at the caller ID: Sam. “Ummm… guys, I’ll be right back.” I say, sliding out of the booth we where sitting in. I walk into the bathroom and I brace myself for what Sam has to say.
*tada! I know this may seem really boring and I’m sorry, but I can promise you, all this boring crap I’m writing will lead up to a really exciting ending. I can promise you that. And thanks to all people who have submitted ideas to me, I really appreciate them!!!!*

Chapter 8 Damian
The way she said that she’ll be right back, I knew something was wrong. It was like her whole face became tense and the happy, cheerful glow in her eyes left. “Damo, you did not tell me she used to be your girlfriend?” Keith accused me, breaking my thoughts. “How do you know she’s my girlfriend?” I questioned him back, refusing to answer his question. “Mari said you guys used to date when we asked her how she knew you. So, why didn’t you tell me that? And what went wrong between you two anyway?” Keith said carelessly. “I didn’t tell you because you never brought it up. And what happened between us is none of your business, so leave me, I mean us, alone about it.” I say sharply. “Woah, Damo, no need to get offended or anything here. He was just asking a question. And Keith, if Damian doesn’t want to talk about it, don’t pressure him.” George said, acting all fatherly. Keith just rolled his eyes and tried to kick me in the legs. He missed, and instead, he hit Paul. “DUDE! What’d you kick me for? I didn’t do anything!” Paul yelled. I didn’t even bother to listen to Keith’s reply because I could here someone yelling in the girl’s bathroom. A voice that sounded a lot like Mari’s… “I’m sorry that I was forced to come to Ireland and that you couldn’t come with me!... You know what? If you want to see me so badly, go get a ticket and fly out here yourself! I can’t take it that you think that I would cheat on you! I LOVE you! Get that through your head!” the voice was saying. “Hey Damo, I think your girlfriend’s upset.” Ryan yells to me over Keith and Paul’s useless argument and the screaming coming out of the girl’s bathroom. “She’s not my girlfriend! And do you think that that’s her?” I shout back to him. He doesn’t reply, he only nods. I look worriedly towards the girl’s bathroom and say a silent prayer that that is not Mari fighting with what I would expect to be her boyfriend, because the way she describes him when we talk is, well, let’s just say I get this sense that she really loves him. And, even though I’m still in love with her, I would not want her to have her heart broken… again.
*so, do you think this is too sappy? Cuz, I’m not to sure about this one… anyway, please review, because if I don’t get reviews, I don’t update. It’s as simply as that. So please review!!!! Thanks!!!*

Chapter 9 Mairead
My boyfriend is a jerk. That finally hits me as I’m walking out of the bathroom. I mean, he thinks that while I’m out here that I’ll hook up with some Irish guy or something. And then he proceeds to tell me that he should’ve gone with me or that I should’ve stayed with him. But, what ever. I got to get back to Damian and the lads before they start to worry. “Hey, I’m back.” I say, sliding into my seat next to Damian. “Awww… I was hoping that you drowned or got kidnapped!” Keith pouted. Knowing that he’s joking, I start to laugh, and so does everyone else. “So, who were you on the phone with?” Paul asks, trying to start a conversation with me. “My boyfriend.” I tell him simply. He doesn’t say anything and I couldn’t help but notice all the strange looks the guys had started to give Damian. “You-you-you have a boyfriend?” Keith stutters. “Um, yeah. For about three years now.” I say, confused by his reaction. Didn’t Damian tell them that? “Oh, cool.” Was all that Keith said. Then there was an awkward silence. “Gay baby born.” Keith said randomly. “What?” we all say at once. “You guys don’t know? HA! I finally know something you don’t!!! See George, I’m not so dumb after all. But anyway, my friend Sean once told me that during every awkward silence, a gay baby is born. So, there you have it. There was just an awkward silence and a gay baby was born.” Keith explained. We don’t say anything. Instead, we look at him as if he was crazy in the head. And, I know I just met him, and that you aren’t supposed to judge a book by its cover, but I’m starting to think that he is a little whacked up in the head. 17 minutes later….
“So, what’d you think of the guys?” Damian asked as we walked back home. “Uhhh… truth or lies?” I say nervously. He laughs. “I’ll take my chances on truth.” He tells me. “Well, I think George is really nice, I actually like him. Ryan, well, he’s nice, but I think he’s a little too shy. Paul, well, he’s waaaay to hyper and energetic for a man of his age. Neil, he’s nice and funny, I like him a lot. Actually, out of all of them, he’s my favorite.” I say. Damian laughs and says, “And what do you think of Keith?” “I’ll try to say this as nicely as I can. Keith is a very odd person with a lot of energy, who tends to get high a little bit too easily, and is a person who says the most randomist things at the most inappropriate times. But, all in all, I think that if I hang out with him a lot, he will somehow end up being the older brother that I’ve always wanted and that I’ll learn to love him.” I say, summing up Keith for him. Damian just laughs and smiles. Then, he takes my hand and together we walk to my house, hand in hand, just like we used to once upon a time.
*Now, I know this is really retarded and I’m really sorry. And about the gay baby joke: I actually have a friend Sean who said that to me the other day and I just had to put it in cuz as I wrote this, I thought it would really capture Keith’s character. And y’all should know, I did not mean to offend ANYONE!!!!!!!!! I have nothing against gay people and yeah… so please comment, they make my world a very happy place and I’m really sorry that this chapter was really suck-ish and crappy.*
