A Fragile Heart
Part 1 Part 2
"What am I doing here? why did I bother even coming?" I said, staring into my coffee.
"Eilidh, what has gotten into you?" Fee said.
"I don’t know! I just have a really bad feeling that I shouldn't be here!"
"Eilidh, you have to talk with him, you’ve got stuff to sort out, you can’t keep those feelings inside. It might help if you told him what was in your heart."
"If I get the chance to, I will."
"Oh you will, you always seem to get talking with Nicky."
"True!" I said.
Westlife were flying into Auckland Airport for a few days. I don’t know why I went, maybe the thought of seeing Nicky again.
As I sat there, waiting for their plane, I knew that any day now, Nicky would announce his engagement to Georgina. Maybe it would be like Boyzone, when one got married, the rest seem to follow&ldots;
I felt really awful, I never knew how much I really loved him. I wasn’t totally obsessive with him. To me, he wasn’t a famous pop-star, but a normal, ordinary guy. I sat there remembering the first time I had met Nicky&ldots;
The first time I met him, it was like the perfect moment. I was standing in the rain, watching as he got into the van. I didn’t feel the rain, as I was more interested in seeing him. As he got in, he turned around, and saw me, standing there, looking like a drowned rat. All I could do was smile. He saw me and then whispered something to Anto, and got out of the van. The van drove off!
No other fans were as desperate as I was, to stand out in the rain, so I was the only one.
"Hey, are you alright?" he said, with his sweet Irish accent.
"Y..e..s!" I said, with a shiver.
"Come on," He said, leading the way to a taxi.
After we got into the taxi, I started shivering. He took off his coat, and put in on my shoulders!
"How’s that?" he asked, with a smile
"A little better! That’ll teach me to stand in the rain in order to see you!"
"You were waiting for me?" he replied.
"Yeah, I was. And I think it was worth it!" I said.
"Its amazing what fans do, to meet their idols." he said, with a grin.
As luck would have it, I was staying at the same hotel as them. As the taxi turned into the entrance, I could see fans standing around; it seemed that the others haven’t arrived yet. I was glad that the windows were tinted, so the fans couldn’t see that I was in the taxi with Nicky. I said goodbye, and was about to get out!
"Wait, I don’t know your name!" he said.
"I’m Eilidh, god I should have said it earlier!" I said with a smile.
"Eilidh, I’m Nicky, but its obvious you know that." he replied.
"I better get in before the others get here! I’m in #235&ldots;" I said, handing back his coat.
"Look, I’ll collect it later, you better run, I see the van pulling in."
I got out of the taxi, and walked quickly into the hotel, I couldn’t see any familiar faces in the crowds.
I walked in, I could hear the screams outside, obviously they were all there!! I got my key and went to the lifts!
Just as the lift came, the lads and Nicky walked in.
I got in the lift. I could smell Nicky’s after-shave on the coat.
The lift opened at my floor, I walked to my room.
I sat down on my bed, shivering.
I went into the bathroom, hopefully a shower might help warm me up.
As I stood in the shower, cursing myself for being a big eejit by standing outside in the rain, with no coat, waiting for westlife to get in their cars&ldots;what on earth was I thinking?
After the shower, I got dressed and put the kettle on for a cup of tea. While the kettle was boiling, I could hear voices outside in the hall, I had a look through the peephole.
