"Westlife are having the biggest concert in Dublin! If you want to get the tickets to see them in concert, phone in now!" I quickly picked up the phone and punched in the number. It rang a million times but no one answered!! I was so angry with myself, finally someone answered "Hello?" I said. "Are you phoning in to get the tickets? I'm sorry to tell you that all the tickets have all been given out" I slowly put down the phone, and tried to think where I could get tickets. I hurried to the box office to see if they had any tickets left, but they all were sold out as well. I walked home slowly through the pouring rain. When I was walking near the stadium where Westlife were having their rehearsal, I was thinking I could have had the chance to go in tomorrow if I had bought the tickets earlier. As I stood there thinking, i noticed a guy rushing towards the stadium who saw me, moving towards me holding his umbrella. "You'll get a cold like this, maybe you should come with me into the stadium." As I looked up, surprisingly it was Shane!! I stood there, I couldn't move, I couldn't say a word... "Come on, I'm already late for the rehearsal." He took my hands and we ran towards the stadium together.

"Maybe you can sit here for a while, after the rehearsal I'll come up to you, OK?" He said. I nodded. He turned away and turned back again, "Err...My name is Shane." "My name is ." I smiled. A security guard handed me a towel and I sat in the front row watching him sing. He looked at me, smiling and singing "Baby you're so beautiful. And when I'm near you I can't breathe..." I felt as if electricity was passing through me. I was overjoyed! I never thought I could meet a pop star!!! And they were my favorite pop band! It was a miracle! Although I couldn't buy the tickets we were doomed to meet each other! After their rehearsal, Shane came up to me said, "Hey ! We are..." He paused "oh...Can I call you that?" "Yes sure!" "We are going to club for a drink, wanna come?" "Yeah! I'd love to." On the way to the club, Shane and I got to know each other more. When we arrived, we approached the others. Shane introduced me to the other lads; the band and I become very best friends. They gave me 2 tickets and backstage passes to come to their concert the next day.

After I got home I hurried to phone , my best friend. "Oh my gosh!! , you couldn't figure it out what happen to me!!" I said. "What? Are you nuts? What time is it now?! It's 1 a.m.!" said angrily. "Listen to me! I met Westlife today!! And they gave me 2 tickets for their concert, it's VIP seats, do you wanna come?" "What?! Of course I come...But you can tell me the details tomorrow, I wanna sleep now!" I laid down on my bed and I couldn't sleep! I looked out the window and that night the sky was so clear, I saw a meteor! I quickly made a wish, and hoped that I could be Shane's girlfriend.

and I got there early, and we went backstage. We showed our backstage passes and the security let us in. Shane saw me, gave me the biggest hug ever! Then everybody came and said hello to me, and I introduced to them. When saw , she blushed and I guessed felt the same way too! Shane and I went off to go to some place else, we were silent and felt so uneasy, so finally I spoke "What's up today? Are you nervous?" "Yeah! I'm fine...But a bit nervous, this is the biggest concert I've ever done." He said and smiled; "Can I have your number?" "Yes of course." I write my number on the paper and handed it to him. "I want to know you more, tell me something about your childhood." I requested. At that moment, Shane's mobile phone rang and he had to go on stage. "Oh, I'm sorry, may be we can have a chat later, I promise I'll phone you..." He said. "I'll be watching you!" I said cheekily and gave him a good luck kiss. After the concert I went home with , and she was talking about , how sweet he was, how gentle he was...etc. But I didn't listen, all I was thinking about was Shane and when he would phone me.

After 2 whole weeks, I still hadn't received Shane's call, I began to worry. Suddenly the phone rang; I pick up the phone and said "Hello" "Is it ?" He said. "Yes, I am. What’s up Shane?" I tried to make my voice calm down. "Sorry for calling you so late, we have a tour around England, erm...Actually are you free? I've rented a movie and I want to come up to your house to watch it." Shane said hopefully. "Yea! I'm free, when will you get here?" "About 20 minutes." "OK, I'll wait for you." I slowly put down the phone and shouted crazily round the house, jumping all over the place, I couldn't stop myself. I spent 15 minutes tidying up the house and 5 minutes having a bath. After everything was ready, Shane arrived. "What movie did you borrow?" I asked. " '' " "How did you know I love that film? And I love very much!" I said happily. "I just guess, I love too!" He said. I started to feel that Shane and I have some kind of relationship by fate. During the movie we just talked and talked, we did't even notice the movie was playing! He told me about his childhood, he said he didn't even have the courage to walk close to the horses when he was little. I couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, I was totally attracted to Shane, I was talking to him cheerfully, and after a long time, when he glanced at his watch it was already 8 o'clock! Shane asks me "Where do you want to go for dinner? ?" "Nevermind...I love every kind of food." That night in the restaurant, every table was candle-lit and the atmosphere was so romantic, I thought I'm very much in love with Shane, and he came close to kiss my lips and I kissed him back. I started to think my wish had come true.

The next night I called Bryan, and to go to a club, and found it was too boring there, so they went away. I started to talk to Bryan about Shane. "Hey Bryan, don't lie to me OK?" "Yep! OK!" Bryan answered. Somehow Bryan and me become had best friends. "Do you know Shane going out with some other girls?" I asked him, feeling a bit drunk. "NO! Of course. He is going out with you!" Bryan said surprised. "But I feel like he didn't put much effort into it." I said sadly. "NO!... Let me tell you a secret, remember we have been touring England? He told me every day that he was missing you very much! Trust me!" Bryan firmly answered. I felt comforted when I heard this, and drank more and more, until I was quite drunk. Bryan then called Shane to pick me up. Shane took me to his house and I could definitely hear Shane say, "Why did you drink so much? Don't you know I worry about you?" And I thought Bryan must have told him something, he continued ", I really love you, can you hear me?" I was having a bad headache and I was too tired to answer, then I fall asleep. When I woke up I saw Shane sitting next to my bed, asleep. I watched him sleeping and I though how he was so good looking, and his face was soooo sweet! After a while, Shane awoke, and I told him to sleep on the bed and continue to sleep, I thought he mustn't have had enough sleep. While I was watching him sleep, I said "Shane do you know I'm really very much in love with you..." Then as I turned to go into the kitchen, to cook some breakfast and some tea, I felt Shane's arm around my waist and him saying to me "I'm very much in love with you too!"

Time passed so quickly, eight months had already gone by, my exams were coming and I still hadn't started any studying, so I called my cousin for help. "I can't concentrate on my study, What can I do?" I asked. "Maybe you should tell him you have to prepare the exam and stop seeing him, you know this is the last year in the university, you can't give up all the effort that you have been put into past few years, you know." " I know, but I really love him..." I puzzled. "It's just only 2 months, after the exam you can see him again!" At night I was thinking about what had said, maybe she was right, and I must talk to Shane tomorrow! "I've got something to tell you..." Shane said. "I've got something to tell you too..." I couldn't look up to him or else I would cry. "I've got a world tour...and it takes 2 months..." Shane said sadly. I was so glad that Shane spoke first! And he continued, "I've got a present for you," Shane passed it to me, it's a small box, and I open it, it's a diamond ring! "I'll help you to put it on." He smiled. I gave him my silver necklace and said, "This is the best neck chain I've ever had, when you wear it just like you can see me, and ....." I couldn't speak anymore, and a tear fell from my eye. Shane quickly came over and hugged me "Don't cry babe, I won't be gone for long...and this is a good time for you to prepare for the exam." He kissed me and held me tightly so that I couldn't see his tearful eyes...... At the airport, I tried to pretend nothing had happened, trying not to upset Shane. I fought a battle with my tears, but I failed. "Shane I love you so much!" I cried. "I love you too!" He hugged me and gave me a farewell kiss. "Remember to wear my ring, when you wear it you will think of me..." Shane whispered. "Don't go Shane," I cried badly. "I promise I'll call you everyday, OK?" Shane was trying to comfort me. was giving a farewell kiss and saying goodbye. I gave my last hug to Shane and a soft hug for other lads. I whispered to Bryan "Promise me to look after Shane OK?" "I promise." Bryan said. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and wished them good luck. "Goodbye," I mouthed to Shane.

Those 2 months were the hardest months in my life, I promised myself to study hard for Shane. Shane called me everyday, telling me he loved me, sometimes when I missed him too much, I cried really hard in my bed while I was talking to him. And for , she was pretty upset too, she went to school with me everyday and was always telling me how much she missed , all I have to do is to comfort her to concentrate onto the studying.

Today Westlife will come home as well as I'll receive my report. My results are pretty good and now it's 8:30 a.m., I must hurry to the airport cos they arrive at 9:30 a.m.. I arrive at the airport just in time and arrives right after me. I could see a lot of fans there, holding their posters and banners, singing to welcome Westlife. I nervously stand in the crowd, then suddenly I see Nicky and Kian come out, then Shane, Mark and Bryan. The girls shout so loudly and run toward them, asking for autographs and photos. I wait soooo impatiently and finally all the fans have all gone, I quickly run toward Shane, hugging him and saying "I miss you soooo much, Shane! Welcome back!" "Yeah! Me too!" Shane said happily. After we hug long enough, Shane suddenly kneels down and takes out a ring, saying, "Will you marry me ?" I'm overjoyed, I'm crying with happiness and answer "Yes...Yes...Shane...Yes!" Shane then put the ring on my engagement finger, everybody comes and congratulates us, especially Bryan, in a way he had helped us a lot. That night we spent most of the time chatting, talking about how much we missed each other. While the music played "Well for me is waking up beside you. To watch the sunrise on your face. To know that I can say I love you in any given time or place..." Shane moved closer to me, we started kissing, then we moved to the bed and......... In the morning, I found Shane's arm around me and he was sleeping so deeply like a child, I think today is my happiest day of me life!
