| "Well..." Mark was stumped..'Wha should I say to the poor bloke? I dont really know this Nik person. She seems alright if she's dated Christian a few times.' "Well?" said Christian. "*sigh* Wha I think you should do is..well talk to her! You know..ask her out again..see if she's up to it. Tell her..its so both of you can catch up on wha has happened since you've last seen each other. That's the perfect excuse. I dunno if you should make her your girlfriend again but going out is a start if that's wha you want." Christian, taking this all in, nodded his head. "Yeah...thanks Mark..I'll do that.." Mark didn't really believe him but he shrugged. "I gave you my best advice. Don't turn it down. You've got a chance since she came back if..you know..she didn't want to be with you last time." "I know. I just dont want to screw it up again. I dunno wha I did wrong the first time!!" "Maybe it wasn't you. Maybe it was her...maybe- " "Aw quit the maybe's and give it to me straight" "I think either you or she got scared of committing to a relationship. That's what screwed the whole thing up." "No mate. It wasn't me. I can honestly say I loved her. But she was the one that didn't feel the same way. Ever since then I haven't been able to stay in a relationship for more than a couple of weeks. I need to get over her. Or maybe we were meant to be together again. I don't know why this is bugging me like it is. Never has one girl ever been on my mind more than Nicole ever has been. She was just so..different from the other girls I dated. At least she had a mind of her own." "Well look Christian. You do what you think is right. I know you'll make the right choice. And in time if she says no again you can get over her. You won't have to remember her." Christian looked up at Mark. He was to the point of crying. "But dont you see..I'll have to remember her every time we sing! If we ever make it past tonight..all the concerts..whenever we sing that song..I'll be in pain." "Wha song?" asked Mark. 'Poor bloke' ".......Again...that song was for her you know...That's why I wrote it. I wanted to be with her again..but I was sure she wouldn't come back to me." "You'll never know now until you try. Who wouldn't want to go out with a good looking guy such as yourself?" "Mark..your scaring me" "Sorry" Mark scratched his head. "You pushed me to say it" "I can see that now..I'll know next time not to." Mark laughed."You've got it all wrong." "Do I?" said Christian. Then he started laughing as well. Ste poked his head in the room. He was grinning ear to ear..showing his dimples (((*melts again*))) "Ey..guess what?!" Ste said. "Wha?" said Mark and Christian. They both looked puzzled. "Did no one show up? Are we going to have to go busking again? Next time we can't wear black. It'll be bloody hot outside" said Mark. "No no no not at all. EVERYONE showed up! I even see, er, Andy and the gang. Our parents and every single major record label in the UK!!!!!!!" Ste started smiling even more. Christian and Mark looked at each other in amazement. "Lads..we've got a gold mine on our hands...and we need a lawyer. Tell Diane to ring one up and fast!" said Christian. "Tonight's our night. Let's make it a damn good one" "Yeah!" said Mark. "Here we go...its now or never." Christian grabbed his guitar and followed up the rear. 'Wish us luck..' He rolled his ring and walked out to the stage. [Out in the audience] There's quite a buzz going on inside McAllister's Pub. Everyone's talking to thier neighbors or chatting on cell phones trying to see in the dim-lit, smoke filled room. Act after act perform and go leaving the labels to speculate if they are "good enough" to sign on. Nik appealed to this job. 'Its fast, its fun, and your alone but not really..great job. No wonder Christian got into this type thing. I never understood..until now.' She smiled. 'I hope I can have the chance to talk to him later..his friends..I haven't seen them in so long! Andy was always the bright one...Pebble..I'm not so sure of but harmless and Tot was very nice to me. I liked them all' She sighed. 'I know why I left but sometimes I'm confused..I was so happy..or so I thought. What went wrong??' "5 minutes til..." said the host.."*psst* what's their names?..5 minutes til Christian Mark and Ste--what kind of name for a band--come on thank you." Nik was getting nervous for the first time. "Nicole..what's wrong? Even in here I can tell you've gone pale. You okay?" Iris was concerned. "I'm fine Iris..Don't worry about me. You've got a band to sign on." Nik managed a small smile.
