if I let you go (3)

chapter ten

Westlife left the hometown of Melody and Karen. Melody and Karen went back to school everyday. Melody continued to work in social service. Unfortunately, they didn't keep contacting with Westlife although they wished to.


Time goes by, it was three months after the girls first met Westlife.

Melody was sitting in front of the computer. She was searching for some stuff on the net.

"Ring...Ring!" The phone rang.

'Hello!' Melody said taking up the phone.

'Hi, may I speak to Miss Melody?' That was an unfamiliar voice.

'Melody's speaking? May I know who you are?'

'I'm Shane, Shane Filan, remember me?'

'Oh yeah. What's up? Long time no see.'

'We're in the hotel in your town now. We'll hold a concert tomorrow. Karen said she will come. I wonder will you come also? Actually, I wish you will.'

'Alright how can I deny if Mr Filan invite me? By the way, where will you hold the concert?'

'I'm not sure about its name…I think I'd better take you up at 10 am tomorrow...Okay?'

'That's a good idea but I don't think you remember where I live.'

'I do remember!'

'Maybe you shouldn't be a singer, Shane. Anyway, I think Karen or someone should've told you.'

'Good. See you tomorrow.'

'See you.'

They hung up the phone.

Melody ran to the hospital.

'What?' Melody shouted.

'Yes, Dorothy's illness is serious. She's in a coma.'

Melody cried. She knew Dorothy would be very happy if Shane come to see her again.


Next Morning

'Melody wake up. Karen and some boys are waiting for you.' Melody's mother pushed her.

Melody rubbed her eyes. She looked out her window. A car parked outside the door of her house. She walked downstairs. Karen and the Westlifers were sitting on the couch in the living room.

'Hey, dress up and get ready to go!' Karen said. Melody saw Bryan was holding Karen's hand. She wanted to ask but she didn't.

At last, Melody dressed up and said goodbye to her mother.

Shane walked over to Melody after she close the door.

'Tell me what happened.' Melody said to Shane, looking at Bryan and Karen, who were hand-in-handed.

'I'm not sure. I only know they are couple now.' Shane answered, 'You've changed a little.'

'Nothing as well. I just had my haircut.'

'You look good in short hair.'

'Thanks but I know you're lying.'

All of them got on the big car. The driver drove them to the town hall.

'We'll hold the concert here.' Shane told Melody.

The guys and the girls walked in the building. Westlifers had to get ready in the backstage. Melody and Karen didn't go to the backstage, they got into the hall.

Melody and Karen took a seat. They saw some people were decorating the stage.

'Karen are you going out with Bryan?' Melody asked.

'This was my dream. And now it's the truth.'

'Congratulations.'

'Thanks Melody. Bryan told me that Shane is getting mad because of you.'

Melody stared at Karen, showing a unbelief look.

'It's true. He did tell me.' Karen looked up the stage again.

After about two minutes of silence, the crowds came into the hall. Suddenly, thousands of people came in to watch the concert.
