*here is my new story! I decided to post it since all I had was an epilogue to post with my other story... I hope you all like it!*
My name is Kate O’Neill and I just turned 17, I live in New York just out of the City. We came here from Derry Ireland just after I was born., since I’ve started tracing back my heritage, I’ve always wanted to go there. But, every time I ask to see my home, I get told no. I would go myself, but my parents say I’m too young. I know that one day, I’ll see my real home.
“Kate, want to go into the City with me today?” My overly excited best friend Sarah Field asked me.
“I’d love to. But I have to ask my Mom and Dad first.” I said, hoping they would say yes. I loved hanging out with Sarah.
“Ok, call me back,” she said. I told her that I would and we both hung up.
I went upstairs to ask. “Mom, can I go with Sarah into the city today?” I asked with hope written all over my face.
“I don’t know. Is it just you two?” she asked. I knew what she was thinking; she’d want someone older to go with me.
“I don’t know, she didn’t say,” I said.
“I suppose you could. But be careful, and call me when you get there and when you leave. And is Sarah driving or are you taking the bus?” She said, I was so happy. She was letting me go!
“I don’t know. I have to call her back and see what the plan is.” I said, my voice rising with every word I spoke. This is the first time she let me out alone with Sarah.
“Ok, have fun. Come tell me when you leave.” She said, as I ran out her bedroom door. I shouted an ok over my shoulder.
I dialed my phone and she answered instantly, “I can go!!” I said, squealing into the phone. She squealed back and said she’d be over in a few minutes to pick me up.
********************
“It’s so amazing here!” I practically yelled, as we walked about the city. So many people walking by. Some rude, shoving past and others very polite. Then we saw a bunch of people standing around some buses.
“Let’s go check that out.” I said, not waiting for an answer and running over.
“They’re tour buses.” She said, catching up to me. That gave me the greatest idea. My parents never let me travel, and these people must travel all over the place. I’d get to see the world!
“Ok Sarah, I know you’re totally not going to let me do this but at least hear me out,” I said, she nodded but looked a little confused, “I want to stowaway with them and see the world. You know Mom and Dad’ll never let me do anything. This is my chance!”
She sat there dumbstruck until she finally spoke. “How are you going to get back? What are you going to eat? And how is this going to work? And what about clothes?”
“I’ll make it work. How much do you have on you?” I asked, devising my plan.
“I have $30.” She said, handing it to me.
“Thanks. Now I have about $75 with me. I should be good. Clothes? I‘ll figure something out. I hope. Anyway, that’s not important, when the crowd dies down, I’ll try every bus. You must promise you won’t tell anyone.” I said, looking her straight in the eye.
“I won’t. But what should I say when they ask?” She said, her eyes rimmed with tears.
“Tell them I went to see the world, and that I’ll be fine. I’ll be back soon, please don’t cry.” I said, hugging her as we both started crying.
After the crowd died away, we looked for an open bus. Finally, one was open.
“Bye Sarah, I’ll be back soon!” I said, as I hid myself.
“Bye Kate,” she said wiping a tear from her eye, “I’ll miss you so much.”
A crowd started to appear surrounding the buses. Sarah left and I hid myself. I think it was a travel bus. It was hard to hide, but I finally found a spot. It was a tiny spot and I probably wouldn’t have fit if I wasn’t 5’1. All the way at the back of the bus there was a little compartment. Hopefully they weren’t planning on using it anytime soon. I heard screaming and shouting. That must have meant that they came out. My stomach was churning. Horrible thoughts went through my mind. What if they caught me and had me arrested? Or what if they were really creepy and mean and never let me leave? I shook these thoughts out of my head and listened. I heard foot steps. Then voices.
“Hey, Damian. I didn’t think ya’d make it through the crowd!” Said the sunny voice with a thick accent.
“Aye, didn’t think I’d make either, Keith.” Damian replied back, also in a thick accent, but even more thick. Then I heard more voices and more foot steps. The steps were getting closer to me. I stopped breathing. Then they walked away.
“Twas a great night!” One of the voices said. I took a chance peeked through a crack of where I was hiding. They were all extremely tall. Not scary. Well, they were scary, but I had a feeling if I ever got to know them they’d be nice.
One was a boy. He looked not much older than I was. Chocolate brown hair. And the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen. The next guy had longish blond hair. If I didn’t hear his accent I would have thought he was from California. Next was another younger looking guy. He had light brown hair and a sweet face. Two more men came into the view. One was bald and looked to be about in his forties and the other one had dark black hair and frightening look about him. But when he smiled it was a sweet smile.
I started to get cramps in both my legs. I could tell this was going to be a long night.

When I woke up, I couldn’t feel my legs. I had to be sure they were gone before I got out though. I cracked it open and I could here the faint sound of breathing. How am I supposed to get out of here and stretch? I’ll just let my legs out. I’m sure they’ll sleep a while since they had a long night last night. I cracked the door open as slowly as possible so it didn’t squeak to loudly. After I got it all the way open I put my legs out. It felt good, but good things always come to an end. I quickly brought my legs back in when I heard movement. I shut the door with to much of a slam. Nut’s, I hope they didn’t hear that. “Keith, did you hear that?” Damian asked, he was breathing heavily. “Hmm, what?” Keith asked, sounding like he was sitting up still half asleep. “I think someone’s in here,” he said. Oh no! What if they search the bus? I could be in so much trouble! “Damian, there is no one in the bus!” Keith said, I let out a sigh. Then quickly covered my mouth. They probably heard that! “Keith, didn’t you hear that?! It sounded like. Breathing!” Damian said, Getting up. I heard footsteps coming my way and stopped breathing completely. “I heard it that time. Let’s get the others to search the bus with us.” He said, getting up. I was in hot water now. How could I get out? Ok, I’ll hide somewhere and when their not looking, I’ll run out the door. I quietly got out and hid in a closet thing. I heard them coming my way and hid myself as well as I could incase they came in there. Then I did the dumbest thing in the world a person hiding could do. I knocked something over. ~*~*~Damian’s POV~*~*~ “What was that?” I said, hearing something in the closet. Then I had a plan, if the person in the closet thought we left maybe, just maybe, they to sneak out. The others came over to where I was. I shushed them then mouthed my plan. Hopefully they all understood. “Did you find anything?” Keith asked, I think he was catching on. “No, lets get out of here,” I said, we all made it sound like we were walking out and Neil even shut the door. We all stood still holding our breaths. Then, the door slowly opened. It was a girl! What could she be doing here? ~*~*~ Kate’s POV~*~*~ I heard them leave. Thank goodness they didn’t find me. I had to get out now. I slowly opened the door. I peeked out and started slowly walking then all of a sudden I got grabbed from behind. I elbowed the person and I heard a loud grunt and a gasp for air after he released his grip I took off running. I through the door open ran. I didn’t mean to elbow him that hard, but I had to get away somehow. ~*~*~Keith‘s POV~*~*~ “You guys go get her. I’ll make sure Damin’s ok,” George said as we all took off running. I can’t believe that there was a girl, hiding in our tour buses. “Do you see her?!” I said, as we all stopped to look around. Man was she fast. “There she is! Let’s spilt up and cut her off. She turned that corner!” Keith yelled, it was me and Neil and Emmet and Ryan. She started to slow down and when she saw us she took off again. ~*~*~Kate’s POV~*~*~ They’re still after me, they’ll probably have me arrested. I slowed down when I didn’t see them but then they caught up. I had to keep going. As I turned the corner I ran smack right into to someone. It was one of them! “Let me go!” I cried as he grabbed me in a tight grip. “Your coming with us. So just settle down,” he said. With absolutely no intention of letting me go. I tried elbowing him too, and it worked again. I took off running only to be grabbed by the blond one. “How did you get in our bus?” One of them asked. I wasn’t going to talk to them so I kept my mouth shut. “Hey, did you get her?” One of them asked. After he caught up, I guess he was out of shape. Well duh! Who do think I am? Sheesh! That’s so what I wanted to say right then, but since I was a captive I thought it best to not talk. After struggling the whole way he finally just threw me over his shoulder when the bus came to view. I started hitting him, but I don’t think it helped much. “If you think hitting me is going to do anything, your terribly mistaken. Your coming back to our buses and that’s that!” He said. “How could she have gotten in?” One of them commented. It was the one who had to catch up to everyone. “Emmet was in charge of locking all the bus doors,” the blond one said, and turned to look at the guy who must have been Emmet. “Hey, I thought I did. I guess one didn‘t lock. But I‘m sure I locked them, maybe she picked the lock and tried to rob us!” he said, defensively then trying to say I was robbing them. Ugh, I was very insulted by that. Do I look like look like a robber? I don’t think so. I really have to stop talking to myself. “If she was robbing us she wouldn’t have waited around to get caught,” said the guy they called Ryan. Well at least someone had sense. “Ryan, get the door,” the blond one they called Keith said, as Ryan opened the door. After he got in they shut the door and put me down. I made a break for it, but I stopped again by Ryan. “No ya don’t!” he said, holding onto me. The bald guy came over. “So, what brings onto our tour bus little lassie?” He asked. I just looked down. Man, I hated when a bunch of tall people stared down at me. “She won’t talk to us.” Keith said, I tried to get out of Ryan’s grasp, but he was too strong. “Hey, we’re not gonna hurt you. We just want to know why you’re here. And how you got in,” he said, nicely. Should I tell them? They’ll just make me go back. I just looked around and then back at the ground. I was stuck and they weren’t going to leave until they got an answer. Then the guy I elbowed came walking in. “Ahh, so this is the little sweet heart that elbowed me,” he said, sarcastically. I heard a few giggles after he said that. The glare he gave them shut them up fast. “Yeah, I think she may have lost her voice too,” the Keith said. I just glared up at him. “She’s also I feisty one. Strong too,” Ryan said, smiling. Ugh, why do I always get laughed at? “I know. Felt how strong she was,” Damian said, rubbing his sore stomach. “I didn’t mean to elbow you that hard,” I mumbled quietly. “She speaks!” Keith said, earning a smack on the back of the head from Emmet. “Ouch!” He said, rubbing his sore head. “S’ok. So why are you here?” He asked. I really didn’t want to tell them. They would for sure make me go back. “Did you run away?” The bald one suddenly asked. “I’m going to go back, but not yet. I want to go somewhere besides my back yard!” I said. They all looked very confused. “I’m sorry, but we can’t take you. We’re just on tour,” he said. “I know. I won’t be a bother, I’m just going to tag along and then fly home when it’s over,” I said, in a pleading voice. “I take it your parents don’t know, do they?” I shook my head slowly as I felt tears sting my eyes. I know I shouldn’t have run away, but I needed too. “Ok, I’ll just go now. If you’d let me go?” I said, looking up at Ryan. “Well, since you’re here, you might as well stay for a little while. The guys can take you site seeing,” he said, looking around the guys. They all nodded. “Really? Thank you so much!” I said, excitedly. This was going to be great. *ok, here it is. Let me know whta you think of it! *

I waited outside of the bus while the boys got ready, but they must have thought I’d run away since they had someone always waiting with me.
“So, why did you sneak into our buses. There must have been another way to get here?” Damian asked, relieving Ryan of his duty.
“I thought I already told you that.” I said, flatly. All I wanted to do right now was look around, no talking or anything. Just looking.
“I guess ya did,” he said, with a nervous laugh. We went back to our awkward silence. Until he broke it. Again. I know, I sound rude, but I didn’t feel like talking right then.
“What’s your name? I don’t think you ever said,” he asked, looking down at me.
“I don’t think I should tell you.” I said, what if they were like creepy stalkers, maybe I should just run away from them. I mean, what if they want to kill me? I shook these thoughts out of my head. I mean, they looked nice enough.
“Because you know our names. And we need something to call you.” He said, still starring at me.
“Well, I just don’t think I should tell you.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Then, I guess we’ll all have to guess her name.” Keith said, as they all spilled out of the bus.
“Even if you do guess right, I’m not going to tell if you are.” I said, starting to walk away. Then I was grabbed again. What is with me always being grabbed?
“Where do you think your going?” It was Keith.
“Umm, looking around the city. Like you guys said.” I said, as I wiggled out of his grasp.
“Oh, right. Let’s go.” He said, taking the lead. I followed and so did the others.
“So where are we anyway?” I asked, I never did know what state we were in.
“We are the state of Pennsylvania.” Ryan said.
“Ahh ok.” I said, looking around.
“So is it Anna?” Damian asked, they were seriously going to try and guess. Weren’t they?
“Nope, not even close.” I said. “How about Bernadette?” Emmet asked this time. Were they seriously going in Alphabetical order?
“Uh-uh.” I said, shaking my head.
“I know, it’s Catherine.” Keith said, thinking he had it right.
“Nuh-uh.”
“I once new a girl named Doris, maybe that’s it?” Ryan said, with a smirk. The others laughed, must have been an inside joke.
“No.” I said.
“Is it Emily?” George asked.
“No.” I sure was saying no a lot. I’m usually the one hearing no. After a million guess they got to K. I don’t know why I was sweating it out, but I was.
“Ok, I got it,” Damian said, starring at me. I looked at him and he continued, “is it, Kate?” I quickly looked to the ground, which was a mistake because then Ryan spoke up.
“It is Kate, did you see the way she looked down. Nice job Damo, you guessed it!” He said, patting him on the back. I turned red.
“Look, she even blushes.” Keith said, I swatted at him he just moved out of the way.
“Shut up! You guys cheated somehow.” I said, looking down again.
~*~*~*~ 2 hours later ~*~*~*~
“I’m starving!” Keith moaned for the thousandth time. It was starting to annoy me.
“Why don’t you guys get something to eat and I’ll just go um, find a way home.” I said, backing away only to be grabbed by Ryan.
“Oh, no you don’t. Your going to eat with us, then we’ll find you a way home,” he said, still holding on to me.
“I really don’t have too, I have to save my money to get home. So, see ya!” I said, and tried to walk away, but they blocked my path once more.
“You really think we were going to let you pay for your own meal?” Emmet said. “Yeah, what kind of gentlemen would we be if we did that?” Keith added.
“So, lets go!” Damian said, leading the way to some little pizza shop. As I got pushed in by Neil. This was going to be a long lunch.
*sorry it's short, but the next one will be much longer!!!! let me know whatcha think*

As you wish!!!
After getting seated, which was really hard with them. Everyone wanted someone’s seat. Finally, after about 15 minutes we were seated. Everyone was happy except me. I had to sit next to Damian and Keith and Emmet was on the other side of Damian.
“So, what should we get on the pizza?” Ryan asked, looking at everyone. Since George went back to the bus he was in charge.
“Kate should decide,” Damian said, nudging my arm.
“That’s ok, I’m not picky I’ll eat everything. But, anchovies,” I said, anchovies are evil!
“I thought you weren’t picky?” Keith said, snottily. I really wanted to elbow him. But, we were in a public place so I refrained and instead I pinched his arm. He yelped like a little girl and jumped out of the seat.
“That hurt!” he said, sitting back down.
“You deserved it!” I said, ready to pinch again if needed.
“You two settle down or your on time out,” Ryan said. Wait, did he just say, “or your on time out?” Wow, these guys are a little weird. But, I have to admit fun to be around.
“Ryan, that only usually works on five year olds,” Damian said, winking at me.
“On the other hand,” Keith started, “We don’ know how old Kate is. So, she could be five.” I just rolled my eyes.
“Like a five year old would stowaway on your bus, right.” I said, in a sarcastic tone.
“It’s possible, I guess.” Neil said, shrugging.
“Well, I’m not. Ok. Just take my word for it.” I said, I decided to change the subject and asked, “So where are we going to be tomorrow?”
“Your going to be at home, and we’re going to be in Ohio.” Ryan said, taking a drink of his pop. Then the pizza’s arrived and we all started eating.
“You actually thought you were going to be coming with us?” Keith said, laughing. If I’m not going with them, then I’ll go myself.
“Ok, then. I guess this is good bye,” I said, finishing my piece of pizza.
“Well, we still have the rest of the day,” Damian said, in attempt to cheer me up.
“Well, I should probably start out now. I’m going to use the rest room really quick,” I said, after Damian and Emmet moved out of my way.
On my way to the restroom I stopped to give some money to a waitress that was passing by to give to Ryan. I never liked when people payed for my food.
I looked for a way out, there was a window so I climbed out of it. I really did want to hang out with these guys, but they were going to make me go home. And I really didn’t want too. Not just yet anyway. I wonder how Mom and Dad are taking this? I didn’t know where I was going, but I just hopped on an two stop bus.
~*~*~*~ Damian’s POV ~*~*~*~
“I still can’t believe she was on our bus,” I said, still astonished.
“I know. Wow! She’s pretty brave to do that,” Ryan said. Everyone nodded.
~*~*~ 10 Minutes later ~*~*~
“I wonder where she is?” Emmet said, with a bit of concern. I had a thought, but I hoped she wouldn’t have left.
“I bet she got out of the back door,” Ryan said, as he paid the check.
“Oh, and I was told to give this to you,” the waitress said, handing Ryan $10.
“Who gave it to you?” I inquired.
“Some girl, didn’t get her name though,” she said and walked off.
“Well, I guess she’s gone,” Keith said, sadly. Why was he so sad, he was to old for her anyway. I guess we didn’t know her age, but she looked pretty young./
“Yeah, we better get back to the bus,” Ryan said, getting up. We all walked out wondering if we’d ever see Kate again.
~*~*~Kate’s POV ~*~*~
The bus ride was really long, but it finally arrived in the next city late that night. Well, state. I think it was Ohio. Hey, that’s where the other guys were heading, but I’d have to avoid them because they’d make me go back home.
I walked around looking for a cheep hotel I could get for a about twenty dollars a night. I hoped I’d find one soon. Being out at night is creepy. Finally I found a cheep one. A little higher priced then I would have hoped, but I could work every once in a while to get more money if I needed it.
~*~*~ Damian’s POV ~*~*~
The show went great. Not. Kate really distracted me and I forgot my words. I would never live it down. But Keith and Emmet both messed up some choreography so I wasn’t the only one messing up.
“You boys were pretty distracted tonight,” George said, as we walked back to the van. Luckily there was no crowd tonight. We didn’t have to stop and give out autographs and pictures. I just waned to go to bed. “Good night everyone!” I said, I was to tired to stay up at all tonight. So I went to bed after they chorused some “sleeps wells” and “good nights” but before I went to bed I checked in my closet and in that little cubby hole. Just to be safe. After it was all clear I went to bed.
*hoped you all liked it*

Here it is!!! ;D
~*~*~ Kate’s POV ~*~*~
The bus ride was long and tiring, and I couldn’t sleep a wink because there was a screaming baby right in front of me. Then I saw a sign and I gasped. “Celtic Thunder here tonight at 7:30” They were here. In the same town/State as I was in. If they found me, they would definitely make me go back. I wanted to see them, but I didn’t at the same time. I was having a battle in my mind when the conductor stopped suddenly. We weren’t supposed to stop here. Then I looked out my window. Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me. Why now? Why on this bus? Couldn’t they have taken a taxi or something. They were getting on the bus. I started to hide. I put my bag (that I had gotten the night before along with a few other things I needed) as high as it could so it almost covered my face and sat right up against the window as they walked by.
“Damo, there’s no room here. Sit next that person,” Keith said, shoving Damian my way. No, no, no, no, no this can not be happening.
“Keith, there’s room right there,” he said, as went to sit down.
“Well, now there isn’t,” he said, as someone took his seat. Darn it. How could this be happening?
“Fine, but you owe me,” he said, walking over to where I was. I completely turned my head. He probably thought I was rude, but hey I needed to hide.
“Do you mind if I sit here?” He asked, politely. Darn, now I’m going to have to answer him. I decided to disguise my voice. Maybe he wouldn’t notice.
“That’s fine,” I said, an practically an octave higher then my normally pitched voice.
“Thanks. I’m Damian Mcginty,” he said, sitting down and extending his hand. I mentally did a face palm, turned a bit and shook his hand thinking of a name I could give him.
“Hi, umm I’m uh Lily.” I said, quickly. I think he caught a glimpse of my face.
“Kate, is that you?” He asked, barely above a whisper.
“I think your mixed up, I don’t know who your talking about.” I said, turning to look out the window. Then he grabbed my bag, put it on the floor and turned me around. Dang it. He knows now.
“It is you. Where do you think your going?” He asked, me and I got loose from his grip.
“I’m going to see the world, but your ruining everything.” I said, turning to look out the window.
“Well, I’m telling the other guys,” he said, getting up just as the bus stopped. I took off with my bag. I heard them calling my name but I didn’t stop. They followed me. Why can’t they just leave me alone?
“How did you get here?” Ryan asked, as they all caught up to me. I figured there was no point in running after what happened last time.
“I took the bus, and I rode here.” I said, with a little bit of disgust in my voice.
“Well, you have to go home,” he said, stepping forward.
“I don’t have to do anything you tell me. What I do is none of your guys business. I have to do this.” I said, as I started to walk away.
“Wait, why don’t we take her with,” Damian suggested. The only ones that looked happy were Keith and Emmet. Ryan, George and Neil all just gave him a death glare.
“And what would Sharon say?” Ryan asked, Damian just gave him a sheepish grin and shrugged. “Please, please, please, please oh please let me stay!! I would pay you back for everything. I just want to do this for a few weeks and then I’ll be out of your hair,” I said, giving Ryan, George and Neil the most pitiful look I could. I even put my infamous pouty lip.
“Ok, but only for a little while,” they said. Works like a charm I thought to myself, but I couldn’t help but let a little smirk play on my lips.
“What are we going to tell Sharon?” Ryan asked.
“There is a what on your tour bus?!” I heard a female voice yell. I waited inside the bus with Emmet, Keith and Damian. She sounded kind of scary.
“Don’t worry, once she gets over the shock she’ll be…” Keith was cut off by another yell.
“Damian, get out here right now!” I was scared. I could tell Damian was just as scared. He gulped as he got up and went outside. I covered my ears so I couldn’t hear the yelling and I shut my eyes as tight as they would go. I wish I was back home. Then I felt someone sit next to me. Next thing I knew someone had put there arms around me. I opened my eyes just a crack. It was Keith and for some strange reason I felt. Safe.
“I don’t care Damian she can’t stay now, I’m going to talk to this young lady,” I heard her say as the handle turned on the door. I was in hot water now.
*here is the update! hope you like it... if there's anything you want to see, or anything I can do to make it better, just let me konw*

*sorry for the wait! I hope you enjoy*
In walked a lady with a sweet face and short blond hair. Now that I saw her face she was as scary looking. I threw Keith’s arm off my shoulder and stood up. I felt like I was under inspection for some weird reason.
“I assume your our little stowaway then?” She said bluntly. I don’t think really pull off being mean and angry very well. It looked unnatural for her.
“Yes, ma’am. I just wanted to see something besides the inside of my house. And this seemed like the best way,” I said, hanging my head.
“Well, where are you from?” She asked, taking a step closer.
“New York,” I said, with a small gulp.
“I think you should go back. Your parents are most likely very worried and…” she couldn’t finish because I cut her off.
“I know their worried, but I’ll go back, but not just yet. I have to do this, and you or anyone else can’t make me go back either,” I said, really wanting run out of there, but I knew that wouldn’t be the case.
“Ok, if you call your mom and dad tell them what’s going on, I guess you can come with us, but only for a week and that’s it, ok?” She said, I can’t believe she was going to let me come.
“Ok, does anyone have a cell phone I can borrow, I didn’t bring mine,” I said, looking around.
“Sure!” Damian, Emmet and Keith said at the same time. Keith was the closest so I took his. I went outside to make my call. I was so grounded when I got home.
“Hello?” My mom answered, she sounded tired. I should have at least left a note or something.
“Mom, it’s Kate. I just wanted to tell I’m fine I’m safe and I’ll be home soon,” I said quickly so I didn’t get interrupted.
“Oh my goodness Kate, you’ve had us all worried sick! I should have never let you go where are you? Your Dad and I can come get you now.” She said, no she’s not going to let me stay.
“Mom, I’m with some friends actually their a singing group called Celtic Thunder. Their all really nice and said I could stay and travel with them for a week. Please, please let me stay. I’ve never been out of New York and this is my chance,” I said, begging.
“Is there anyone in charge there that I can talk too?” She said, with a sigh.
“Yes, hold on,” I went in the bus and handed the phone to Sharon.
“She wants to talk to the person in charge.” I said. As Sharon left the room I sat down, one foot crossed over the other swinging them back n’ forth.
“I wonder what she’ll say?” I thought. I think Damian can read thoughts cause then he said,
“I’m sure she’ll say yes. I mean we’re a great bunch of guys!” They all backed him up on that. I just shook my head. These guys would be a lot of fun to hang around with, but knowing my Mother, she’ll probably say no.
“You don’t know my Mother,” I said, with a little eye roll. “She’s great, but they never let me do anything and that’s why I ended up on your bus.”
“Well, if she says no, then it was a great meeting you. And it was also great to see the elbow you gave Damian over here,” Ryan said, ruffling Damian’s hair. I laughed. And then the door opened and in walked Sharon. She handed back Keith’s phone and sat down.
“Only one week,” I was just about to jump for joy when she said, “but, you have to call daily and let your parents know what’s going on.”
I jumped up and hugged her, “Thank you so much and thank you again for not being mad for sneaking on the bus,” I said, a blush creeping into my cheeks. Who’d ever thought I’d end up in their bus?
“Your welcome, just remember, one week. It’ll go by fast,” she said walking out of the bus, leaving me and the guys alone.
“Well, that was good news. We have a whole week to learn about Kate,” Keith said with a smirk putting his arm around me.
“I think you know enough about me already so…” I trailed off standing up, letting his arm slip off me.
“We still don’t know what your age is?” Ryan said, it sounded like he was asking.
“Fine, I just turned 17,” Why did they have to know everything.
“Nice, just around Damian and Emmet’s age then.” Neil commented, smiling at me. Just what I need, I’m trying to see the world and I have two love sick puppies after me. Then I looked at Keith. Ok, I guess three love sick puppies. Oh well, being the center of attention might not be that bad.
It was drawing near to show time. They asked me if I wanted to come back stage, but I didn’t want to get seen by any of their fans and get beat up or something. I was now alone in the guys tour bus (I’d be in the girls, but they don’t have a tv) watching some tv. Nothing was on, so I just flipped through the channels. I noticed outside that clouds were coming. I HATED thunder and lightning. To me, it is the scariest thing in the world and I just want hide from it.
I heard the sprinkling start. Hopefully it would just be some light rain. Then I saw lightning which made me jump out of my skin and I screamed when the thunder started. Again, there was more lightning. I ran to the closet and hid in it. Pulling my knee’s up to my chest and covering my ears so I couldn’t hear the thunder. I heard the bus door open and my name being called. It was Damian.
“Where are you, Kate?” He called, then another big clap of thunder hit and I screamed again. Almost in tears from fear.
“Kate, what are you doing in here?” He asked opening the doors and pulling me out. Was he that clueless?
“Wait, are you scared of the thunder and lightning?” He asked, grabbing my shoulders. I just nodded as more thunder hit. I jumped grabbing onto his shirt. He grabbed my hands and took them off his shirt pulling me into a hug.
“It’s ok, Kate, your safe here. I’m not going to let anything happen to you. Ever,” He said, as he pulled me over to the couch and sat down.
“W-where are the o-others?” I managed to squeak out. He pulled me closer.
“Keith, Ryan and Emmet had meet and greets and George and Neil are talking some things over with Sharon. I decided to come back here to keep you company,” he said, as we heard the door open. It was Keith, Ryan and Emmet. The meet and greet must have ended.
“Hey, what’s wrong with, Kate?” Ryan asked, coming and sitting next to me.
“Thunder and lightning.” that’s all Damian needed to say. Keith took Emmet aside and whispered something to him and he nodded. They both came back and started singing.
I had never heard them before, they were really good. Ryan and Damian joined in too. How could I not have heard of them before? I was so engrossed in their singing I didn’t even hear the thunder any more. And just as George and Neil came in.
“Well, the storm is finally over and we made it back to the buses!” Neil said, setting his guitar case on the table. It ended? I need these guys around more often to sing.
“That’s great! And I’m beat, I think I’ll hit the sack.” Ryan said, getting up. I decided I should leave too.
“I better get to the girls bus now,” I said, getting up to leave. “Thanks for everything.”
I walked out of the bus after saying good night to them and joined the girls. They were all very nice and welcomed me right away. I knew this was going to be a great week.

I woke up the next morning to a knocking at the bus door. Where were Jo and Nichole? They were no where in site so I answered the door. It was Damian.
“Good morning, sleepy head. I’ve been sent to see if you want some lunch. And if you want to see some sites,” he said, looking me up and down. My messy hair, disheveled clothes and I was barefoot.
“Umm, what time is it?” I asked, some what embarrassed for sleeping so late.
“It’s just about 12:15,” he replied with a smirk. I knew he was laughing internally at my clothes.
“Well, I’ll just fix myself up and meet you outside in fifteen minutes, Ok?” I asked, scrunching my toes in out, something I did when I was embarrassed.
“Ok, I’ll get the others together and come back here,” he said, opening the door to leave. I nodded and he left. I hurried to the bathroom to wash my hair and fix my make up. I put on a pair of jean Capri’s and a yellow tank top, with a matching yellow shirt. I put a yellow head band on, it made me look younger then I already did, but I liked it. Put the finishing touches on my make up and walked outside the bus.
Just like Damian said, they were there waiting. Paul let out a low whistle when he saw me. And elbowed the two guys next to him to let them know I came out. I blushed. I hated being stared at.
“Wow! You look great!” Emmet said, I blushed even more. I guess I should have worn something else.
“Thanks, um, could we start out now?” I asked, trying to get the attention off me. I looked up and saw Damian starring with his mouth open. I looked in back of me trying find what he was starring.
“He’s looking at you, love,” Ryan whispered, and then winked. I was turning even more red.
“Well, lets get going,” I said, walking away from the starring Damian. Gosh, his eyes were blue in the sun. It almost made them sparkle. Makes me wish my eyes were blue. I got stuck with brown eyes.
“Let’s get some lunch,” Damian said, bringing me out of my thoughts.
“Ok, where too?” Neil asked, looking around for places to stop. I never had ‘fast food’ before. Always home cooked meals. I guess that’s why I was pretty small. No junk food to put pounds on with.
“How about something simple, like McDonalds?” George suggested, everyone agreed and we decided to get it and take to the park and eat. I didn’t know what to get so I got a chicken salad. It looked good.
“I can believe you’re eating that rabbit food,” Keith said, taking a huge bite out of his big Mac, or what ever it was called.
“It’s called ‘healthy eating,’” I said, eating my salad. Trying not look at anyone. All of a sudden I got poked in the ribs. (And I am very sensitive) I jumped, squealed and fell off the bench.
“What was that for?” I asked, Keith who of course was sitting next to me.
“Oh, you’re so bony I wanted to see if you have any skin on ye,” he said, laughing at my reaction.
“Well don’t do that again. Next time I could get violent!” I said, sitting back down.
“You need to eat more or we’re going give you the last name of ‘Kate Bones,” Neil joked, making everyone laugh. I just stared at them all. I was always good at giving death glares.
“Haven’t you ever eaten one of these?” Asked Emmet, holding up his cheese burger.
“Nope. Always had home cooked meals. Never even knew these things existed,” I said, looking at a fry then eating it. They were good.
“Want to try a bite?” Damian asked, it looked a little scary, but I was feeling adventurous.
“Fine, but only because I’ve never tried, not because your weird nick name,” I said, as he handed his burger over. I took a bite, it was amazing! Probably had a million calories, but I loved it! I wanted to eat the rest of it, but I gave it back.
“Well…” Damian said, looking at me. I hated it when he stared.
“It’s great! But something I could only eat once a month with all the calories it must have in it,” I said, eating my salad again.
“Yay! She ate something besides rabbit food!!!” Keith shouted, this time I poked him in the ribs, but of course, it back fired and I punched off the bench.
“Keith, look what you did!” Damian, shouted coming to help me.
“It’s not my fault, she poked me,” he said, defending myself. Helping Damian get me off the ground. I had my eye covered. If I ended up with a black eye he was going to have pink hair!
“Let me take a look, lass,” George said, squatting in front of me. Taking my hand off my eye.
“It’s doesn’t look to bad, it’ll be fine. And if you worrin’ about a black eye, don’t. It’s fine,” he said, going to sit down again.
“Thanks. Can I sit by someone else?” I asked, sending a glare towards Keith.
“Hey, it was an accident. Sorry,” he said, defending himself.
“Yeah, you can sit by me,” Emmet said with a warm smile. I gladly moved as Emmet scooted over and made Keith scoot also.
“Where are we going to be tomorrow?” I asked, finishing up my salad.
“I think Chicago, Illinois. Oh, and we’re going to Six Flags! Should be great craic,” Damian said, slurping up the last of his drink.
“Really?! I’ve never been to that before. Always saw the commercials on TV though,” I said, smiling. I couldn’t wait for tomorrow to get here.
“Well, lets see the rest of the city. We have a gig tonight, we have about 2 hours before we have to get back for sound check. You coming to the performance, Kate?” Neil asked. I didn’t know. I couldn’t afford it, unless I got to go for free.
“I don’t know, do I have to buy a ticket?” I asked, looking up at him.
“Nope, just come with us back stage,” Keith said, putting his arm around me.
“Oh ok. Then I guess I’m coming. I wanna see what all the hype is about!” I said, smiling.
Tonight was going to be a night I’d remember for a long time.
~*~*~*~ 2 hours later ~*~*~*~
“So, this is a sound check?” I asked, walking out on stage. Looking at everything. If I was in the audience the drums were on back left of the stage, three chairs were set up in the back on the right, with a keyboard a bit in front. Then off the stage was a rock on the left and a set of drums up towards the front left. And oh my were there a lot of seats. I don’t know how they could perform before so many people. I’d die.
“Yupperoo! We get our mics, make sure they work and warm our voices up. Same thing with the instrumentalists,” Damian said, showing me around back stage.
“I don’t know how you can sing with all those people starring at you!” I exclaimed.
He laughed then said, “After a while you get used to it, but I still get nervous. After the first song though it gets easier.”
“I still couldn’t do it,” I said, laughing.
“Damian, come get set up!” One of the stage hands yelled. He brought me back stage and told me where I could watch while they performed. Sound check went good. I got my first taste of their voices. They were all amazing! Then it was time for them to get their make up on. I laughed to myself, never thought I’d see a boy wear make up.
Ten minutes till show time. I was getting nervous and I wasn’t even the one singing! The guys came over and sat next to me.
“So, you ready for your first Celtic Thunder show?” Keith asked, sitting next to me. He always sat next to me.
“I think so. In sound check you all sounded great!” I said, with an enthusiastic smile. They all grinned.
“Thanks lassie,” George said, as he finished with his mic. Then I saw a girl come running back stage. Who could she be?
“Hailey! Thank goodness!” Sharon exclaimed, I guess she knew her. “Go get dressed.”
“Who’s that?” I asked, as she went to the girls dressing room.
“That is my dancer, Hailey Jo. I can’t dance a step, so Sharon thought it’d be a good idea if I got someone to help me out,” he said, with a sheepish grin. I laughed.
“Well, I guess I get to see you dance!” I said, laughing.
“Kate, take my word for it, you don’t want to see him dance!” Keith said, doing a mock dance of how Damian danced. I laughed even harder.
“You have the most adorable laugh!” Keith said, pinching my cheek. He was so embarrassing. I must have turned every shade of red right then.
“Keith, stop embarrassing the girl,” George said, pulling me out of his grasp.
“Yeah, Keith,” Ryan said, lightly punching his arm. I was still blushing.
“Five minutes everyone!” The stage hand yelled. They all got in there places. I was so excited!
Everything was amazing so far! Just getting to the end of the second act. After every song they would sit and talk with me. So nice, I wish I had longer then a week. The next song was so unexpected though. They started line dancing (or something like it) it was hilarious! I loved it!
“That was awesome guys!” I said, excitedly. They thanked me and went to get changed.
The second act was great too. I loved all of it, up till the point in Damian’s song. Hailey twisted her ankle. She had to be carried off the stage. It was only a sprain, but she wouldn’t be dancing for a while. Maybe, just maybe, I could do it. I took dance for eight years. I’d slowly bring it up later. Besides, I’d get to stay longer.
Hope you liked it!!!!!
