"All packed and good to go!" Bryan roared the next day as Westlife were standing outside the hotel next to their tour bus.

"You excited, Bry?" Shane asked climbing onto the bus as Bryan climbed after him.

"You bet! I'm gonna see my wife and two angels, I can't wait!" Bryan said sitting down on the couch inside the tour bus.

"Morning lads" Kian said climbing onto the bus with a baseball cup pulled on his eyes.

"Hey Kino, what's up?" Bryan said smiling at him.

"Nothing much�had a little row with TimberFuck last night" Kian said sitting down next to Bryan and Shane.

"With Justin? Dude, what happened?" Nicky said climbing onto the bus with Mark following him. They both sat down from Kian's other side so Kian was in the middle and all four of them were looking at him.

"Bumped into him in the hall after we went off stage and he pissed me off so we started throwing insults at each other. Then after Sonia went off stage he came onto me with his two bullies and dragged me to her dressing room, ordering her to fire me. Moron thought I'm some kind of a stage worker" Kian explained taking the baseball cup off and messing with his hair, trying to get it to stand properly.

"And what did she do?" Mark asked.

"Gave him some bullshit about me being an essential stage worker that knows how to aim the lights on her in a way she'll look extra beautiful or some diva-shit like that" Kian said, still messing with his hair.

"So she fired you?" Nicky asked.

"Fuck no. Jesus Nicky, you're a real moron�no, TimberFuck bought that stupid fuck-ass story" Kian said, finally getting his hair standing the way he wanted it to.

"I wonder why Sonia didn't just fire you�I mean, one phone call to Jive and some whining to her manager and she'll get us off her tour in no time" Bryan said.

"Oh, it's just so obvious" Shane said.

"What's so obvious, Filan?" Kian asked.

"Sonia loves Kino!" Shane said.

"Sonia and Kino, kissing on a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Kino with a baby carriage" Bryan sang as everyone but Kian busted out laughing.

"Morning Sonia!" Peppa said walking into Sonia's room expecting to find her at her personal gym, doing her usual morning work-up. "Sonia?" Peppa said looking into the gym, amazed to find out Sonia was not there.

"Over here" Sonia said from inside the bedroom in her suite.

Peppa walked into the bedroom and looked around. Sonia was laying on her side on the bed facing the huge wall-size window, all-cuddled-up, looking outside. "Sonia? Are you ok?"

"No�" Sonia said.

"What's wrong?" Peppa asked sitting on the floor in front of Sonia.

"I don't hate Egan" Sonia mumbled. "I care about him�"

"Oh that's great! We're one step ahead to achieving the goal!"

"Which will be�?"

"You realizing you LOVE Egan" Peppa said.

"I don't love him�I love Justin. I just�care about Egan"

"Uh�huh�" Peppa said slowly, not really believing Sonia.

"Okie, all the luggage is on the plane and we're outta here in exactly 55 minutes and 40 seconds" Bryan said. "No wait, 37 seconds�36�35�34�"

"Bryan!" Mark stopped him.

"What?"

"Stop it, huh? It's annoying" Mark said taking a sip from his coffee.

"Ok�sorry�can't help it if I'm excited to get the hell outta here and go see my wife and daughters" Bryan said playing with his muffin.

"I wanna go home too�I actually miss Jess" Kian said, placing his chin on the palm of his hand and staring into the thin air. "I think I'll try to get back together with her while we're home"

"And then what? After those 10 days we'll be at home you're just gonna break up with her again?" Shane asked, grabbing Mark's cup of coffee away from him and taking a sip.

"Hey! That's mine! Get one of your bloody own!" Mark said, snapping the cup of coffee back.

"I thought of bringing her on tour with us when we have to go back�I heard she just quit her job with Liberty X, maybe we can find her something on the tour?" Kian said.

"I don't think it's such a good idea, Kian." Nicky said.

"Why not? I love her. I always did and I want her by my side" Kian said.

"First you need to get back with her, buddy. Then you can make all the plans you want" Bryan said. "Oooh 45 minutes!" he said looking at his watch.

"Sonia, I can honestly say I've never seen you so depressed�you weren't that depressed when Christina Aguilera was missing 90,000 singles to get that number one on the Billboard chart away from you after you've been number 1 for eleven weeks in a row" Peppa said.

"I'm not depressed" Sonia said and tried to put up a smile, but with no luck. "Ok maybe I am�"

"What is it?" Peppa said as Sonia shook her head lightly. "Come on, you can tell me"

"I owe Egan an apology for the incident last night with Justin and it's bothering me"

"Whoa! What happened last night with Egan and Justin? Were you and Egan getting busy when Justin came in?" Peppa asked with a jackass grin on her face.

"No! No! No! No! Really Peppa�" Sonia said shaking her head. "Egan and Justin got into a fight last night and Justin humiliated him so much�he wanted me to fire Egan"

"You can't technically do that" Peppa said.

"I know�but it's just�Justin was acting like such a dick"

"Well you won't see Egan for the next 10-12 days - depends if you count the flights to and back - so if you want to apologize to him you can either run over and make a scene at the airport or wait till they would be back�but if you are planning on a scene at the airport, you better hurry up cos their flights leaves in exactly�"

"10 minutes!" Bryan said happily, jumping around the airport lounge. "Can we go on the plane now? Please? Please? Pretty please with ketchup on it??"

"Yes we can" Shane said laughing and shaking his head at Bryan.

"Yay!" Bryan said grabbing his backpack and running into the terminal.

Sonia ran to her car and got in quickly. She didn't even have the chance to put on her jewelry or make-up. She just threw a trainer on herself and ran out of the hotel.

She drove as fast as she could to the airport. She needed to talk to Kian. She couldn't just let him go without apologizing to him. She didn't know why it was so important to her, but it just was.

Sonia pulled at the airport parking lot a few minutes afterwards. She went out of the car, quickly locked it and ran inside the airport.

"Excuse me, has this morning's flight to Ireland already taken off?" Sonia asked the woman at the front desk.

"Umm�let me check" the woman said looking at her computer screen. "No, hasn't taken off. Is taking off now however" the woman said pointing at the window behind Sonia.

Sonia turned around to see an airplane taking off.

"Damn�" she said slowly walking to the window, watching the plane flying away. "Damn."
