Okay, I know it's a short update...but I'm working on it! I'll prolly finish it tomorrow.
And remember! "Comments Make The World Go 'Round!"Paul knew he was making the right decision…but that didn’t make it any less difficult. It was just his time. He was grateful for what Celtic Thunder had given him. A fan base that would kick start his solo life with a flourish. He looked around the bus at his friends. They all knew he was leaving. He had talked to them all privately about his decision; all of them except one…. Paul looked over at the young man who had become a brother to him the past few years, sit across the room from him while furiously battling the unknown creature in his video game. Paul shook his head at himself. He knew he needed to tell Damian soon or he would feel betrayed at being the last one to know. And the last thing Paul wanted was for Damian to find out from the blog post Sharon was going to be posting in a few days. Like I said...It's short! But I'll finish soon!

Paul knew he was making the right decision…but that didn’t make it any less difficult. It was just his time. He was grateful for what Celtic Thunder had given him. A fan base that would kick start his solo life with a flourish. He looked around the bus at his friends. They all knew he was leaving. He had talked to them all privately about his decision; all of them except one….
Paul looked over at the young man who had become a brother to him the past few years, sit across the room from him while furiously battling the unknown creature in his video game. Paul shook his head at himself. He knew he needed to tell Damian soon or he would feel betrayed at being the last one to know. And the last thing Paul wanted was for Damian to find out from the blog post Sharon was going to be posting in a few days. He slid of his own bunk and laid a hand on Damian’s shoulder.
“Hey Damo! Let’s go outside, tis a beautiful day in the neighbor hood, yes? Why not enjoy it?” Paul raised an eyebrow at him but Damian was to distracted by his game to notice it lacked its usual ‘swankyness’.
“Fineee” Damian closed up his game system and headed out of the bus with Paul, oblivious to the knowing glances of the rest of the lads. The two walked around the small town they were stopping over in on their way to Florida. The window shopped for the most part, Damian found something for his sister he wanted to surprise her with on Christmas but that was it. Paul really wasn’t feeling in the ‘Christmas spirit”
Paul bought Damian ice cream, thinking that it could be the buffer to the news he wanted to give him…but no matter how many chances, reasons to tell him, or ideas on even how to tell him, He just couldn’t seem to get the words past his lips. Finely he gave up for the time being and went back to the bus with Damian.
As soon as the two of them walked in, Paul saw each of the lads begin to speak and quickly shook his head to let them know he hadn’t succeeded in telling Damian what he needed to say. They all promptly sat back and sighed. Paul needed to tell Damian soon.
It was later that night and Paul was waiting on Damian to get out of the dressing room. They were going through dress rehearsals for the last show before they switched Heritage for the Christmas segment and he still hadn’t told Damian his news.
“So, Paul have you told him yet? “ Ryan asked, as he to stood in the line to change. Paul glanced at the floor then the ceiling, Just about anwhere but Ryan. “Paul? You need to tell him soon, or he is going to be really hurt.” He sighed as he told him.
Paul ran a hand through his hair. “You don’t think I haven’t tried? Hmmm? Every time I’m with the lad I try but then…” Paul and Ryan took a few steps away from the door and sat down in a couple of folding chairs that somebody in the crew had set up for them earlier that day. “I just don’t know how to tell him I’m leaving Celtic Thunder. What do I do? Just walk up and say, ‘Hey Damo, thought you should know since everybody else does, that I’m leaving Celtic Thunder!’”
“That would have been nice.” Paul and Ryan whirled around to find Damian standing behind them, decked out in his suit. “You know, It’s not that important right? Why does it matter if I know?” Paul could see Damian was trying to keep his face void of emotion. But Paul knew him better then that. He could see the hurt and betrayal in his eyes. And he had put it there.
“Damian, I meant to tell you but…” Paul reached out to him, attempting to place a hand on his shoulder but Damian had other ideas. He shrinked away from Paul’s touch, leaving Paul’s hand outstretched toward him.
“You did a great job in telling me, Byrom.” Damian’s voice didn’t hold the teasing tone when he said his name. This was impersonal. With that Damian turned and walked away, leaving a broken Paul behind.
I'm working on the last part! Stick with me!

Mkay! Here is the last part! =D Hope you guys enjoyed it! And remember 'Comments Make The World Go 'Round!"
Damian stalked to the stage and continued on until he was completely across and out the side door. He took a deep breath to calm himself and took a glance around the ally. If anybody had seen him he would look like he simply stepped out to get some fresh air but in reality he was fuming. How could Paul do that to him? He felt like an idiot, walking around the past few days, clueless on what had been going on. The way the lads had been acting made sense now. He couldn’t believe he had told everybody but him! If he had told anybody first it should have been him. He stared at the small stone that laid at his feet until it became blurry, then in frustration he gave it a good kick, channeling all his frustration in that one move. He hung his head, then looked for a place to sit. Not finding a bench he just turned and sat on the cement steps. Soon, Damian felt a hand on his shoulder, and he turned to find George sitting down beside him.
“Hey lad, I saw what happened. You going to stay mad at him forever?” George watched the boys face and knew it was going to be hardest on him. Paul and Damian were inseparable. Just like brothers, and it hurt him to see the two of them like this. “You choose to stay mad at him, Damian. And you will regret it. Paul couldn’t find a way to tell you because, no matter how happy he is to be going solo, you have become his brother. And he was afraid you’d be mad.” George could see something flicker in the young man’s eyes.
“You’re right, George. As usual. I will miss Paul but him going solo doesn‘t mean I‘ll never get to see him.” Damian reached out to shake hands with the mentor of their group but George playfully shoved the hand away and wrestled Damian into a hug.
George and Damian made their way back inside, George leaving Damian to stand on the stage with Paul. Damian quickly felt bad for how he had acted.
Paul stood, looking disheartened and dejected. He didn’t know how to act around Damian. He glanced over and saw that Damian was headed his way; and he didn’t look happy. Damian stood in front of him, face to face with Paul, who had to tip his head back a little to see him.
“After you leave. You better expect me to come visit. Whenever I want. Okay? I can show up whenever I want.” Damian told him, straight faced. Paul grinned in relief, not even caring that Damian saw him grin.
“Of course. Whenever you want.” Damian nodded seriously then broke out into a grin.
“Now. Lets get practice over with so you can show me how to shave.” Paul grinned at his ‘brother’ as they took their places on the stage.
~~~~The End~~~~
Hope ya'll like this story! I had a great time writtin' it!
