We're worlds apart
chapter three
"Sara please come on they won't even be able to see you in the crowd." Angel begged. "No Angel, no"
"Please"
"No and I mean it. I really like Shane, as in Shane Filan not Shane Westlife and now I have just humiliated myself in front of him, and the others, God no I'm not going, look go in alone I will wait outside for you!" Sara said determined not to be pushed around any more today.
"It's not the same and you know it", Angel said with desperation in her voice, see was ready to go on all fours again. "Please come on be a mate."
"Be a mate, be a mate! So getting up at 7am, coming out with you at 8am, in the rain and making a part of myself in front of them is not being a mate thanks great what do I have to do die for you or something". Sara was not happy would have been an understatement, the way she had felt about Shane when she had first met him was an emotion that she had never felt before. Something that had hit her so hard that she just couldn't describe and really didn't want to share at the moment, not with Angel anyway.
"Sara please remember that thing you said? They don't even know you, you are just another face in the crowd".
"Yeah right, this girl flirts with you while talking about the band you are in without knowing about it. Yeah, guess they have that a lot. Of course he won't remember me." Sara said.
"Yes see that's the spirit"
"Sarcasm"
"Look please", Angel said, pleading with Sara. "God are you ever gonna shut up" Angel looked hurt but persisted. "No, not until you agree to come in with me!" Angel said hopefully. Sara looked at Angel and decided she might as well. He won't remember her, will he?
"OK but I am telling you this is it, never again".
Finally Angel had managed to convince Sara to come in to CD:UK with her. "Why am I doing this way?"
"Cos you a mate, remember that and there are so many people here it won't matter".
"You had so better be right". Sara said and this that they were lead with the rest of the audience into the studios and then Westlife came on the stage furthest from them. "Thank God for that", Sara said. Angel went to grab Sara's arm to lead her closer to that stage. Sara looked at Angel's hand in disgust and then to her face and said, "if you value me as any type or friend then you will leave me here!" Angel saw the seriousness and hurt in Sara's eyes that she had only seen once before, when Sara asked Angel to go with her to her mum's funeral. Angel knew that this was not the time to go lust over some pop star. She gave Sara a hug and apologised. Angel continued to look in Westlife's direction and then she said "Shane is looking in our direction."
"Yeah right" Sara said turning her back to the stage Westlife were on. "To be honest I don't really care" But if Sara was honest with Angel she would have admitted that she did care, especially whether Shane was looking over.
She sneaked a peak at what was happening on that stage, Angel looked at her and smiled. She noticed that the hurt had left Sara's eyes and then looked back at Westlife. Sara looked at Shane and their eyes met, she smiled but then Shane leaned over to Mark who was next to him, whispered something, pointed at Sara and then they cracked up laughing. Angel looked at Sara and saw the hurt stream right back into her blue eyes. Angel went to put out a hand for Sara, but she had already turned round, heading for the exit. Angel looked back at Shane and saw that he was no longer laughing, his concerned eyes were following Sara as she made her way out of the studios. Shane looked upset but Angel had no sympathy for him, she was just concerned about Sara. Angel went off in the same direction but was stopped by this arm. Angel looked at the arm and then the face to which the arm belonged and when she did she just snatched her hand back and continued off.
"Angel tell Sara I am sorry," Shane said. "Why should I?" Angel asked looking in to his eyes seeing that he was hurting too. "Cos cos I ... please just tell her"
"No" and with that Angel left the studios after Sara and when Shane tried to follow he was stopped by autograph hunters, studio staff and even Nicky told him that he had a job to do. Angel looked behind her to see Shane struggling on whether to follow or do his job eventually being persuaded to stand back on the stage. He looked sad but Angel just didn't care. Any respect for him that she had had at the beginning of the day and suddenly left her for good.
