Never Can Say goodbye.

Shane looked out to the familiar countryside as the car flew passed at an illegal speed. He loved being home. It was the only time he could feel normal again – like he used to. He was Shane Filan for a few weeks, not Shane from Westlife. As much as he loved his job - he wouldn’t change it for anything – he could never help but feel like there was a part of him missing. A hole that singing couldn’t fill. The only hole singing couldn’t fill. He knew what it was; he knew what he needed, but he refused to admit it to himself, let alone anyone else.
His family may not have noticed that he desired something, but his band mates had. The five of them lived out of each other’s pockets. If they hadn’t noticed, something would have been wrong.
They were willing to help him, of course they were, he was their ‘brother’, but he couldn’t be helped until he wanted to be. So for a while, they had to play the waiting game. The problem being, none of them were very good with patience…

The smile lit up the whole of Bryan’s face as he stood at the end of the drive, watching Jessie, his girlfriend of two years, walking towards him with a grin of equal size to his own. Without saying a word, she walked right up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pushing herself as hard against his body as she could. Bryan let out a sigh of relief as he put his arms around her waist and buried his face in her neck. This moment always bought a tear to the eye; seeing Jessie after being away from her for months. He had always hated being away from her, but with time, he had learnt to deal with it. He had felt so much further away this time though, further than he should have done, and he hadn’t felt right for three months. The moment that made his life fall back into place was the feel of her touch.

Nicky, Kian and Mark all stood side by side as they watched the Sligo waves crashing into the sand. Nicky had decided to spend his time off in Sligo rather than Dublin this time, he had just lost his mother, and felt like he needed to be with the people that knew him best. His strength. As he ran a hand threw his wind-blown hair, he turned to the others and smiled. “Just washes your problems away.” He said quietly.
Mark nodded and kicked the sand. “Only Sligo gives that effect. Anywhere else and it wouldn’t be the same. Trust me mate, you’ve come to the right place.” He assured him.
Kian sighed loudly and looked over his shoulder. “Yeah…anyway lads, I’m off. I have to meet Mary in ten. See you tomorrow night.” He promised as he walked off, heading for his car.
Mark watched him leave and then turned back to Nicky. “I get the feeling these next two weeks are going to be unexpectedly eventful.” He confided.
Nicky looked out to the sea, in silent thought and then nodded. “Me too.” He agreed with a hint of a smile.
