It has taken some time but now the new part is finished. It got quite long and I like the dialog. I just hope it isn't too much dialog.
Chapter 3, part 2 "Secrets Can't be Buried Forever..."
Sligo
Furiously Amy threw the newspaper at the table. She had bought it because she wanted to know a little more about the lads Shane was forming the band with. She could never in a million years guess that Shane would once again use her as a cover story. She paced back and forth and tried to figure out what to do now. Amy was engaged with Mark Wahlberg who she meet on a cafe during her studies at Boston University. She loved him and he had helped her through a devastating break-up with Jamie Downer, a guy she met on college years ago (he was the reason why she didn't wanted to be Shane's fake girlfriend anymore). She knew that there was a bunch of Amy’s out there but she was scared that Shane would want to take her to events and so as a Westside girlfriend. She was 100% sure that Mark would hate that. Amy sighed and sat down on the couch. She picked up her phone and wondering if she should call Shane or Mark. After a moment she decided what to do and dialled the number that was showing on the screen.
The guys where on their way back to Sligo as Louis had decided that it was vital that they got to know each other better. Therefore they were going to spend some time together in Sligo and later on Dublin. Shane, Nicky and Kian were sharing one car while Brian and Mark was in the other one. They were laughing and Shane pointed out different things from the window for Nicky. He was very interested and Shane found it a bit exciting in some weird way. Then Shane's phone started to buzz. He took it up and saw that it was Amy calling. Nicky, who was leaning over Shane to see things noticed the name on the screen. Shane looked shocked at the phone. He hadn't been in contact with Amy since college as she went to the States. Now she was calling him and it had to be quite important however before he had the chance to answer Nicky snatched the phone.
"Hey! Give it back!" Shane shouted but Nicky had a really cheeky look at his face and didn't seem to intend to give it back.
"Hello, do I've the honour to speak with Shane's girlfriend?" Nicky answered cheekily in the phone while Shane tried to snatch the phone back.
"Err, who am I speaking to?" Amy said taken aback.
"C'mon Nix! Please!" Shane said getting desperate.
"This is Nicky speaking. We haven't met but if we had I'm sure you would be Mrs Byrne now," Nicky continued and Kian laughed. Shane was really upset; he really didn't like this. Then Kian took the phone from Nicky, which placed it even further away from Shane.
"... or you would be the mother to Nicky's children! And not Mrs Byrne either!" Kian said with a laugh.
"Give it a break Ki!" Nicky said and took back the phone. "I'm sorry but Mr Egan has drink a bit to much," Nicky the said to Amy and gave Kian a cheeky look. Kian started to protest but not so seriously. Shane grabbed the opinion and snatched back his phone. Poor Amy was blushing and had almost forgot what she was about to say in the first place.
"I'm sorry A... honey. They're just playing around," Shane said and gave his band mates a sour look.
"Ok, anyway we need to talk about things... and I'm not your honey! I'm about to become Mrs Wahlberg!" Amy said and ended the call. Shane got a sad expression on his face.
"Problems Shaney? You know, we were just joking," Nicky said when he saw Shane's expression.
"Well she didn't think so," Shane said and got silent for the rest of the trip.
Christian O'Gara looked disbelieving at the interview. Today when he was out buying cigarettes, he noticed that Peter Filan's son was at the front cover. He got a bit curious so he bought the paper. Now when he had read through the interview there was one name that got him really upset. It was that blonde bastard Kian Egan who told the press, the entire world, that he was together with a girl named Claire. This made Christian very angry. He was not happy that his sixteen years old girlfriend was seeing this man. And now he made their "relationship" official. He could barely think straight and was cursing loudly. Claire came down the stairs and looked a bit worried at her dad.
"What is it dad?" she asked. Christian turned around a bit his lip.
"This" he said and pointed at the magazine that was resting on the table. Claire walked over there and looked at it. Then he rolled her eyes as her dad begun on that same old sorry about what 18 years old guys really was thinking on.
"Dad, stop. I love him and nothing you say or do will ever change that. Look here, he says, "that he's together with a girl by the name of Claire". Dad, do you know how many persons there's that has that name? E.g. in my class there's another girl by the name of Claire. You know Henry Mort's daughter?" Christian sighed, he knew that she was right but he was still worried for her.
"By the way dad, I don't care if we go official or not with it. I've found my "Mr Right" and that's Kian," Claire said and leaved the room. Her dad stood there and looked shocked after her.
"But Claire..." he started when his wife Anne came up to him.
"Shh Chris. She has made a decision and you should respect it. I know the Egans, it's a big family, they take care of each other and if young Kian gets famous and earn a lot of money it's for the best," she said and smiled at her.
"But you know how it gone with that Amanda girl he was dating. She killed herself," Christian continued.
"She was a drug addict and she hurt Kian much. Now when he gets famous he needs the security Claire gives him."
"But..."
"For God's sake Chris! Let her be happy. She's not our little girl anymore. She's becoming a woman and she needs to take care of her own life. If she gets burn... well it's not our business," Anne said and went back to the kitchen. 'Why must we always fight?' Christian thought and sighed.
London
Five had been training for their UK tour and was now enjoying a good game of pool. J was leading against Abs. He stood at the moment and thought about his next move when Scott and Ritchie stubble in. Ritchie dropped that basketball at the floor and went over to the pool table. Scott announced that he should take a shower and went up stairs. While Ritchie gave Scott some advises J checked his messages. He smiled when he saw a new message from Rebecca. He read it and it told him that Rebecca was coming around. J had already spoken with the security so that they would let her in. He was however a bit uncertain about bringing her here. It was getting serious but J knew one thing; he had fallen hard for her. He thought about the girl he met a couple of day ago. Her alias was Anglez so he didn't knew her real name. She was kind but Rebecca was more special for him that this girl. However, he was a bit worried as he thought that he had seen her before sometime. He got interrupted in his thoughts when Abs pushed a ball down in one of the holes. After that J returned to the game.
At the same time Scott was on the phone with Jen. She was still in UK with her Anatolia. Scott and Jen chatted for some time and Jen told him that she thought about studying a year here in London. It made Scott happy. He thought that she was a nice person and he wanted to see her more. Then she said that she had read in a magazine about the guy they met a few days ago. Scott tried to remember who it was.
"The tall guy," Jen reminded him.
"Ah yeah. He who was going to be in a boy band right?"
Jen said that Scott was on the right track and laughed. Then she told him about what Nicky, who was also in the band, had said. He had talked about his ex Rebecca. Scott nodded and looked out of the window and almost dropped the phone when he saw the same girl they were talking about walking up the pathway. Jen wondered why he stopped talking.
"She is here! Rebecca!"
"What? OMG, poor Nicky. She's probably there to see J. I wonder how Nicky will take it when it gets official?"
"I dunno"
Sligo
"Look at this! Brian with an ‘i’ doesn’t look cool enough. Is difficult too," Brian sighed.
"You're right... How about with an y? It could be your artist name!" Nicky said and looked at the paper.
Brian nodded and tried to write his name with a y instead. The lads where at Shane's place and was practising to write autographs. Shane had tried three different ways but he still wasn’t pleased yet. Nicky was happy with his first try. However, he had got some practise already, as goalkeeper in Leeds United. Mark found it fun to write a comic guy on the autograph too. Brian had thought it was quite catchy so they had painted a little comic together. Kian had been sitting alone and practising but Brian had dragged him to the other guys. "We are here to get to know each other better," Brian had said.
"Take a look at this Mark. It is nice right?" Brian said and showed Mark his new try.
"It looks cool. Shall we call you Bryan now too?" Mark asked.
"Yeah, that's much cooler than 'Brian'. Sounds a bit old, my teacher at high school was called Brian," Nicky pushed in.
"Ok. From now on, call me Bryan," Bryan said and smiled. The other guys nodded and smiled.
