if I let you go (4)
chapter four
Julie laid on her bed. She stared up on the ceiling. She couldn't sleep even though her body was tired after spending the whole day at Sentosa with Shane. The other reason was because Shane and the other guys were leaving the next day. She just couldn't bear the thought of leaving him. The past three days had certainly brought the both of them closer. She turned to her side and tried to make herself sleep. But her eyes still remained wide open. She gave up and decided to go and get a drink. She tip-toed down the kitchen careful not to wake her family. But she was surprised when she saw the light in her mum's office room on. She stopped in front of the door. She realised that she didn't have a long talk with her mother for a long time. She was busy with her university studies while her mum was busy with her law cases. She used to go to her mum when she had any problems and she thought that this was the right time. She knocked on the door lightly.
Shane woke up. He was dreaming that he and Julie were getting married when suddenly there was a shout. He looked around the hotel room and realised that he was sitting in front of the television with the guys and it was Mark that shouted.
"What happened?! Was there a robbery?" he asked flustered.
The rest of his band members looked at him. "Um, I shouted. Liverpool just scored a goal." Mark confessed.
"Nothing happened" Kian said.
"Oh." Shane said flatly. He sat there thinking about Julie though he was staring at the television. He had told her to meet him in the restaurant downstairs his hotel the next morning and he had decided to tell her his feelings about her. He had loved her the moment he sat his eyes on her. But he didn't…. His thoughts were interrupted by Mark's cheer again.
"Hey mate! What's wrong? Liverpool just scored! Wait a minute! You're not watching! Wait a minute! Me and my exclamination marks!" Nicky said to Shane.
"He's troubled." Mark said. Kian rolled his eyes and exclaimed
"Mark?! Any idiot would have noticed that! Even if Shane likes to daydream, he wouldn't be soooo into it that instead of going through the front door, he went through the toilet door! And he put salt instead of sugar! And called me 'Bryan' instead of 'Kian'?!"
"Hahaha! He...haha...ac…haha…actually did that?! Hahaha!" Bryan asked between his laugh. He stopped when Nicky shot him a scowl. "Hey what's wrong?" Mark asked, finally putting aside the soccer match.
"It's Julie right?" Nicky asked.
"I really like Julie. I mean love! You may find it ridiculous…loving a girl in just three days, but it's love at first sight! Now I don't know if I should tell her how I feel. If I tell her, she may not even like me! Oh man...what should I do?" Shane sighed heavily.
