| [Rick & Rob's place] "Ey look there's Christian! Alright lads lets go. Who's ridin with me?" asked Mark as he clapped his hands together, looking around the room. "Not me. I got my own scooter. Thanks anyways Mark." Ste smiled. "I know mate, I know. I was askin Rick & Rob" "It's alright Mark. Your mum's dropping by and givin us a lift. She's bringin over some leftovers." Rob patted his tummy. Rick laughed and said "Yeah mate..we were running out of food..and we're almost done packing if you must know." "Manchester's just dying for us to come back, aint tha right Rick?" said Rob. "Yeah *laughs* so's Mark..ey when are we gonna go out and celebrate eh?" "Soon enough..I've got to pull this gig off first." Mark smirked. "Erm..am I interrupting something?" said Christian. He went over to shake hands with Mark's friends. "Not at all! We're just on our way over to the pub" said Mark. "Anyways guys we'll see ya there yeah?" "Of course Mark. We wouldn't miss your only chance for a record deal" Rick said. Rob laughs and says "Yeah I'm sure you'll find a way to crack your voice." "Very funny guys, very funny. We'll pull this off and we're gonna do it big aren't we fellas?" said Mark. "Yeah Mark's right. We can do this. If everything doesn't work out we'll keep on going..." Ste got quieter as he went on talking. "Aw c'mon Ste pull it together! I know every single company will be there tryin to see wha we're all about. Now let's go and rehearse before they all get there!" said Christian. 'It'd be a miracle if one showed up' he thought. "You were always the optimist weren't you?" said Ste. Christian put an arm around Ste's shoulders. "Tha's wha I'm here for mate. No worries." Christian smiled at Ste. "C'mon then let's go. See ya Rick...Rob" "How sappy...*sigh* Christian~ you are so...compassionate!!!....You never put your arms around MY shoulder. Wait for me!!!" said Mark. He laughs as he waves to Rick & Rob. *~*~*~* "Are we there yet?" whispered Nik. "Almost..I think.." Iris whispered back. "Diane's late but she gave our taxi good directions..the guy knows where he's going..even if he's hard of hearing and doesn't look a day over 80..." Nik smothered a laugh. "Stop it..dont make me feel bad for laughing at the poor fellow." She smiled. "I'm sorry..its just I'm a little irritated..and excited again. Grumpy me.." Iris shifted around in her seat. "ERE WE ARE THEN. MCALLISTER'S PUB. ON YE WAY. 'AVE A NICE NIGHT. THA WILL BE 5 POUNDS PLEASE" the taxi driver yelled. "OKAY" said Iris. "Pushy for an 80 year old" Iris said to Nik. She giggled. "I SAY WHAT DID YOU SAY YOUNG LADY?" "I SAID HERE'S YOUR 5 POUNDS SIR" Iris screamed. "CHEERS!" he smiled his toothless grin. "I'LL BE ON MY WAY NOW." Iris waved and put on a fake smile. She wiped the grin off her face. "Time for business" They walked in the pub. 'God help me' thought Nik. *~*~*~* Christian, Mark, and Ste all looked spiffy in their black clothes. "Showtime.." said Mark. He waved his arms wildly. Ste and Christian laughed. "Wait a minute Mark" Ste said. "Lemme look out to see how many people actually showed up for us." "Alright then. Hurry..we haven't got much time you know" "Yeah I know. I wont be but a few minutes yeah? I'll see if I can spot our parents." Ste left the room smiling. "You nervous Christian? No cheering from the peanut gallery?" Mark covered a smile. Silence is what he got as a reply. "Well I think my jokes are funny.." Mark pouted. "Its not you mate. Its me..its Nik! I can't stop thinking about her. Part o me wants to forget about the past..the other half just wants to get back with her. Wha should I do? I haven't seen her in 2 bloody years. She's changed..I've changed a bit. I just dunno. Any advice then?" Christian looked at Mark hopefully. Next Page >> |
