BACK		The love is unbreakable

By Kay

Kian stared up at the towering Hotel. He shivered in the cold November night’s wind. Two years ago, he would have just walked straight past, taking no notice of it whatsoever. Now, when he walked past, he couldn’t ignore it, not after what had happened. He continued staring, a shiver running down his spine. He shook his head, anger and rejection running though his mind. He carried on walking, a tear rolling down his cheek.
*******
Kian was happy, he had never been happier than he was at this very moment. He had a dream job that made him millions, the best family and friends anyone could ever ask for, and, to top it all off, the angel lying underneath his right arm, his high school sweetheart, Kay.
He smiled,
‘I have it all!’ he thought.
KNOCK KNOCK.
“I’ll get it,” Kay insisted,
She got up, stretching her tall, slender body, and started to walk over to the hotel room door. Halfway there, she stopped and turned.
“Kian, I love you, I want you to remember that, O.K”
“Of course I’ll remember that! I love you too, I always have and I always will” Kian said lovingly.
Kay continued to the door and opened it.
“Shane! What are you doin’ here?”
“I came to see my favourite girl, that’s what!” Shane said cheekily.
“Oy!!!! I am here you know Shane!!” Kian laughed from the sofa in the living room.
“So are you gonna tell your girlfriend to let me in then?”
“Come in then, if you have to!” Kay smirked.

After two hours of talking, drinking and giggling (and after a funny moment when Shane walked into a glass door,) Kay decided she was too tired to stay up, so retired to bed, leaving Kian and Shane to talk quietly among themselves.
“Do you ever wonder what would have happened if Kay hadn’t come into your life?” Shane questioned,
“I do sometimes, you know stuff like, who would I be with now if I wasn’t with Kay? But I don’t go for days thinking about it, like I’m in a world of my own.”
“We gotta little World of our own” Shane started singing.
“Shut up!!” Kian said, shoving a pillow in Shane’s face.
“Oy!!…..Get off will ya!”
Kian slowly pulled the pillow away,
“But I do wonder about the future, like if me and Kay will break up because of the band” Kian continued.
Shane had no answer for that, for he knew that one-day, that would happen, he knew his best mate would be heart broken, and he hated himself for knowing.
********

Kay ran down Oxford Street in London. Her heart was pounding, like it was about to burst out of her chest. Still, she carried on running. She had just heard the most exciting news ever, she was pregnant!!
She stopped suddenly,
“The band” Kay murmured, “What’s Kian going to say?”
She looked up at the poster of her boyfriend’s band stuck in the window of a newsagent. She thought of how good Kians life was like at the moment, would this surprise wreak his whole career?
She continued to stare at the poster, unaware of a black BMW pulling up behind her. A voice made her turn towards it.
“Hey Kay, what are you up to?” It was Mark, from the look on his face, it told Kay that he was concerned.
“Oh…hey Mark,” Kay mumbled, “I was just having a quiet walk around London”
“And a quiet walk to you means staring at a poster in a Newsagents?”
Kay laughed,
“Yeh well…..”
“Do you want a lift back to the hotel?”
“erm, yeah ok, thanks”
Kay trudged over to the car and got in. Mark went into second gear and continued to the hotel.
When they reached it, the BMW pulled up on the kerb and Mark stopped the car.
Kay started to open the door,
“Hold on a sec, are you gonna tell me what’s wrong? And don’t tell me nothings wrong, I can tell by the look on your face, you look like you’re in shock.”
Kay hastily closed the door and looked over at Mark. His deep blue eyes looked in to hers. She turned away.
“What would you say if I was, if I was, well, erm, pregnant?”
“Oh my god!”
“Mark, look, I really don’t want to tell Kian, but I know I’ll have to. I just don’t want to wreak Kian’s life. You have to understand that?”
“Kay, how can you even think of not telling him? I mean, it is Kian’s isn’t it?”
“Yeah, of course it is! I would never cheat on Kian!”
“Ok, sorry.” Mark took Kay’s hand,
“Kay, I know for a fact that this baby won’t wreak yours or Kian’s life. It will make you both stronger, and bring you closer together, look at Bryan, Kerry and Molly! When Bryan first found out, he was over the moon. Then it dawned on him that he had to tell us. Kay, there’s no need to worry, I promise everything’s going to be alright.”
Kay looked at Mark, she was sure what she had just heard was true, and everything would be all right.
“Come here Mark.”
She leaned over and gave him a gigantic hug.
“Thank you, thank you so much”
She kissed him on the cheek and opened the door.
“Just promise me that you’ll tell him when you get up there”
“I promise Mark, thanks for the lift.”
“Anytime, see ya.”
Kay closed the door and the BMW drove away. Kay looked up at the staggering building that was the Ritz Hotel. Far up above her, on the 13th floor was Kian, the father of her baby.
*********
Kay put the key in the door of room 103. Her hand was shaking; she pulled her it away.
“Stop it Kay, this is silly, If I love him, I can tell him”
She sighed and thought if only it could be that simple.

Kian was washing some dishes when Kay walked in, with one look at her, he could tell that she had something to tell him. He got a towel, dried his hands, and walked over to hug Kay. That was when, for Kay, the tears came.
“Come him babe, come and sit down and tell me what’s troubling you.”
Kian led Kay to the sofa and sat her down, and then he got on his knees and looked up into her soft, brown eyes. Kian took Kay’s hands in his and spoke with a soft tone,
“Kay, what’s wrong?”
Kay wiped a tear from her eye,
“Kian, I have to be honest, I didn’t want to tell you this, but a good friend made me change my mind. Do you want to know were I’ve been this morning?”
She paused, and turned away from Kian. She couldn’t look at him, her mind was racing, and her heart was beating so fast. She had to face the facts; she turned back to face him, took a deep breath and said,
“Kian, I went to the doctors,”
“Why? What’s wrong? Are you sick?”
“Please Kian, let me finish.”
Kian nodded.
“A couple of weeks ago, when you were in America, I kept on having sharp pains in my stomach. At first a thought nothing of them, then they became heavier and more frequent. I decided last Thursday to go to the doctors. They told me they had a feeling about what it was and told me they were going to do a few tests.
Well, they rang me this morning, when you were still in bed, and told me the results were in and to come down to the surgery. So I went, and it turns out I’m…I’m…pregnant Kian, your going to be a father.”
Kian's reaction to the news was not how she had expected. She had expected him to start shouting,
‘Oh my God, Kay. How could we have been so stupid?”
Instead, a gigantic smile came across his glowing red face, like a little boy on his birthday. He jumped up and started celebrating, like footballers do when they score a goal, jumping around like a lunatic.
“YES!!!!! COME ON!!!!”
After five minutes of celebrating, he sat down next to Kay and took her hand. “Kay, Oh my God, Kay, if I could pick anyone to raise a family with, it would be you,”
He leaned over and kissed Kay.
“We’re going to be parents” Kian whispered in Kay’s ears. He wrapped his arms around her. Kay smiled, she was going to raise a child with the man she loved.
*********

Nicky ran across the studio floor towards his bandmates.
“Guys, Kian's just rang me, you’ll never guess what? Kay’s pregnant!!”
“Oh my god! Are you joking?” asked Bryan, in shock.
“No, No, I swear, he’s just rang me. If you don’t believe me, ring him back, here.”
He passed Bryan his phone, Bryan took it and spoke to Kian,
“Kian! Is it true? Is Kay really pregnant?”
Shane put his ear to the other side of the mobile, while Nicky and Mark ran backstage to tell everyone.
Kian told them down the phone and Shane collapsed on to the floor.
“Oh my god!! I never knew they were that serious! Here, give me the phone would ya Bry?”
“Hold on, hold on” replied Bryan.
“ I bet you can’t believe it Kiano! Anyway, Shane wants to talk to you, Congratulations and send Kay my love.”
He passed Shane the phone, took his own out from his Adidas tracksuit top and punched in his wife, Leighann’s number.
Meanwhile backstage, Nicky and Mark were standing outside the office door of Louis Walsh. Louis Walsh was Westlife’s manager, this was the one person who might scowl at the thought of Kay being pregnant.
“I wonder what he’s going to say?” Nicky thought,
“Well there’s only one way to find out,” Mark knocked on the door.
“Come in,” came the voice from inside.
Mark opened the door and went in, closely followed by Nicky.
“Ah! Nicky, Mark! What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be doing your sound check?
“Err yeah, but something important came up that you really need to know about” Mark replied nervously.
“Kian’s just been on the phone to us, it turns out that Kay’s expecting.”
Louis continued to stare at the pair of them, not taking in what had just been said.
“Louis, Kay’s pregnant,” Mark repeated.
Again, Louis didn’t say anything.
“Louis?” started Nicky,
“I heard you, I heard you, I was just thinking it over. If you wouldn’t mind you two, if you could excuse me.”
“Yeah, sure” Nicky said standing up and turning towards the door,
“You coming Mark?”
“Yeah, I’ll be there in a sec.”
“Ok,” Nicky said glancing at Louis then Mark.
Louis started fidgeting with a pen, his thoughts were all messed up. It was a big story for the press, but a massive mess up for Westlife’s world tour, the following year, when the baby would be due.
“Louis, what are you going to do?”
“Mark, you know when the baby is going to be due don’t you? In the middle of the world tour, Kian would miss it. It’s going to be hell in nine months time.”
“Are you going to tell the press?”
“I think I’ll have to talk to Kian about that, now I think you should be going to prepare for tonight’s show? Do you?”
“Yeah, sure.”
Mark got up and started towards the door.
“Is he marrying her?” Louis asked,
“I don’t know” Mark answered, continued out of the door.
********

A few days later, Kian and Kay were lying on the sofa talking, when, for about the seventh time that night, Kian brought up the subject again.
“I still can’t get over it Kay! You’re pregnant! You’re going to be a Mum! I’m going to be a Dad! I can’t wait Kay! I really can’t wait!” running his fingers through Kay’s blond hair, gently kissing her forehead.
“I love you Kay, I love you more than anything in the world, and soon, very soon, I will have to share that love between two hearts, yours,” He kissed her,
“and our little baby’s.” He lent back and kissed Kay’s stomach.
“Kian, since when have you been this romantic?” laughed Kay,
“Are you telling me I have never been romantic? ‘Cause if you are, you really haven’t been paying any attention to me!” exclaimed Kian.
He sat up and switched on the T.V. It was turned on BBC news, showing pictures of a horrific train crash that had happened earlier that day.
Kay stood up and yawned.
“I am so tired! I think I might go….”
Kay didn’t get to finish because Kian had put a finger to his lips. The report on the train crash had finished, now it showed a picture of Kian and Kay holding hands, at last years album launch. The reporter was talking, Kay sat back down again.
“A shock to all Westlife fans now, Kian Egan and girlfriend Kay Dekker are expecting their first child in early April. Right in the middle of the boybands world tour. This has shown concern over manger Louis Walsh. He is currently considering moving the tour back a few months in order for this event to happen, making BMG records lose millions of pounds of the expense of the tour. Kian and Kay have had some trouble in their relationship, only six months ago, they considered breaking up, due to the fact that they never saw each other, from Kian being away so much. Kian met Kay when he was fifteen, when she moved from England to Sligo, Ireland. For two years he was like a lovesick puppy, constantly asking her out on a date, each time Kay refused. Finally, just before Kian first met Louis Walsh, he asked her and she said yes. They have now been going out for five years. And now this years Brit awards……..”
Kian and Kay stared at the television in shock.
“Who the hell told the press?” Kian asked, turning to face Kay,
“Don’t look at me Kian! The only person I’ve told was Mark. Anyway, you rang the guys the other day, they already know.”
“I’m not accusing you, I was just asking out loud.”
Kian stood up and waked over to the window, staring out into the dark night, he sighed,
“Have you got ant idea of who would have told them?” Kay inquired.
Kian reached over to his mobile phone,
“Yeah, Louis.” He punched in Louis number and took hold of Kay’s hand.
“What are you gonna say to him?” asked Kay hopelessly,
“I’m gonna tell him he is a complete prat!” laughed Kian.
**************

Louis was in his office when his phone rang. He looked over the top of the files he had been reading to find out who it could be………………………..Kian.
“Dam, doesn’t he know what time it is.” Louis mumbled, glancing at his watch. He pressed the speakerphone button.
“Hello Kian, how are you?” Louis sighed.
“Oh yeah Louis, I’m fine after just watching a report on Kay’s pregnancy!” came the reply.
“What? What channel? How did they find out?”
There was a moment’s silence on the other end.
“But I thought….but didn’t you….what’s goin’ on here?”
“Did you think I told them? No, I didn’t tell them. First I was going to talk to you about the tour.”
“But then who told them? I know the guys wouldn’t have told anyone.”
“Let me look into it, I’ll speak to you tomorrow.”
“Alright then, bye.”
The phone was put down, Louis typed in another number.
“Hi Anto? Yeah it’s Louis. Look we need to talk.”
**************

A few weeks later, the guys had flown over to the Far East to do a promotional tour for their new single, ‘Unbreakable.’
Nicky and Kian were talking quietly in the corner of the hotels vary swish bar and Shane was making Bryan and Mark crack up by doing hilarious impressions of Ronan Keating and Stephen Gately, the other side. It was a typical night for the guys in Westlife. No negative thoughts were going through any of their minds, it was all about drinking, laughing and bitching.
Louis walked into the bar, searching for the Westlifer he had news to tell too. He glanced past Shane, Mark and Bryan, and his eyes settled on the young Irish lad in the corner. Kian was drinking some champagne, probably celebrating the news of the pregnancy with the other guys.
“Kian, word please.”
“Yeah sure, just a sec,”
Kian rose from his seat and trudged slowly towards Kian, the tone of Louis voice had made him fell uneasy, was anything wrong?
Louis led Kian to a quiet room of the side of the lobby, inside was a desk with a chair behind it, and a chair in front.
“Please, take a seat,” requested Louis. Kian nervously took it. Louis sat opposite.
“Kian, something serious has happened to Kay,”
“W…What!! What’s wrong with her?!” Kian yelled,
“Calm down Kian, calm down,”
“Calm Down!! Calm Down! How the hell can I calm down when something’s wrong with my girlfriend, whose half a world away and I’ve no way of reaching her! You try and Calm down!!” fumed Kian, standing up.
“Kian! Kian! Sit down while I tell you…Please!”
Kian sat down, he was shaking all over.
“Kian, Late last night, Kay was in her hotel room, when there was a knock at the door. She rose from bed and went to answer it. When she opened the door, there was a man dressed in black with a mask over his face. He was holding a crow bar. She screamed and turned to run, but he hit her…Kian….he hit her in the back of the head with a crow bar.”
Kian stared dismally at Louis, he didn’t realise it, but he was crying, he was crying like four-year-old baby cries when they scrape their knees.
“Kian? Are you ok?”
Kian didn’t hear Louis he was miles away.
“Kian? I’m going to get Shane to take you back to London, Ok?
Still Kian didn’t answer.
Louis ran past Kian and called from the door,
“Shane! We need you! Quick!”
Shane came sprinting over, in his hand was a pint of beer.
“What’s up?” Shane asked,
“Kay’s been hit with a crow bar, we need you to take Kian to see her in London.”
“What? How the? Is she?”
“Shane, Please!” Louis begged.
“Yeah, sure were is he?”
****************

Kian and Shane flew back to London a few hours later. Throughout the time it took to get to the airport and over to London, Kian hadn’t spoke. Shane was worried, all Kian did on the plane was sit there, staring out of the window, hardly blinking.
They touched down at Heathrow airport. Kian wearily stood up and trudged to the door, his mind was spinning. He took a deep breath and took a step out of the plane. Someone put a hand on his shoulder, Kian turned and saw Shane smiling weakly. Kian didn’t smile back, all he could think of was if Kay was all right.
They got in a black car with tinted windows. Kian immediately took a window seat and looked out. Shane sat next to him and tried to make conversation.
“Kian, you know, she will be alright”
Kian didn’t stir.
“Kian? Kian? Listen to me, you need to control yourself, your gonna make yourself feel ill.”
“Shane I don’t care if I become ill. All I care about now, is to make sure Kay is alright.” Kian surprisingly spoke.
For the rest of the journey neither of them spoke. When they arrived at St. Mary’s hospital, Kian leaped out of the car and ran to the reception, leaving Shane to tag along behind him.
“Kay, Kay Dekker, were is she?” Kian hurriedly asked the woman behind the desk.
“Kay…Kay…Kay, ah here we are Kay Dekker. Now before we give out this information, you are..?”
“I’m Kian Egan, Kay’s boyfriend.”
“I’m sorry, we can only allow the patients family to see her.”
“No, No you don’t….you don’t understand, I really need to see her, my manager should have rang and said I was coming.”
“Look, I’m really sorry, but I can’t tell you, now please, either sit down in the waiting room, or get out!”
Kian and Shane walked slowly to the waiting room. Kian started to cry.
“Why the hell don’t they let us in! Why the hell?”
Shane wasn’t taking notice, he was too busy watching the receptionist leave the reception area.
“Hold on a sec,” whispered Shane. He sneakily stood up and slowly walked to the reception door, opened it, went in, typed something on the computer, walked out, and came over to Kian saying, “Intensive care Unit, fifth floor.”
Kian stared at Shane.
“Oh my god! Thank you so much Shane!” whispered Kian,
“Thanks later, now lets go.”
After 10 minutes of walking round the hospital, Kian saw her; she was lying lifelessly on a bed with white sheets.
“Oh my god!” Kian heard Shane whisper.
Kian opened the door and walked, he heard a beep, beep, beep, beep of the life support machine. He sat on the chair, which was by her bed. Kian looked at the face, which had once been so pretty, full of life and happiness. Now, it was white, no expression, looking lifeless.
Kian took Kay’s hand, it was cold, so cold.
A tear rolled down Kian’s cheek, then another, and another. He leaned over and kissed Kay’s forehead.
The beeps on the life support machine quickened, then it became all one beep.
Beeeep………..
“No!! No!! Kay? Please Kay?” Kian was weeping now, the body under his arms. “No Kay No!! Kay I love you Kay, I love you! Please Kay! Please, don’t leave me!”
Shane stared through the window, watching his best friend cry over his girlfriend’s dead body. Doctors came running and told Kian to leave the room. Kian left, only when the doctor had made it certain, Shane walked over to him and gave him a hug. Kian cried and cried and Shane started as well.
“The love was Unbreakable” said Shane crying, “Unbreakable.”
“No Shane,” Kian cried, “It is Unbreakable”
