Okies, here’s the complete full storyline to my LTD, lol- this is what I wanted to work up to, and eventually write, and for you all to read. However, this is of course not going to happen now (even if you paid me, lol- altho if the offer involves Mr Jay then I may reconsider!), but I want you all to see it! This is how I’ve got it written down in the ‘blue book’ of LTD, little (*cough* lol) summaries of what happens in each month (some of it you already know!). I hope it all makes sense- it’s pretty hefty reading!
Take care! Kate xx
2001
April: Kate meets Christian on bus; snog + he gets phone no.; rings up to arrange date but has to cancel- reschedules. They go on date + end up sleeping together! Kate needs time to ‘think’; get together and start properly dating (I Love You, etc). Abbie tries to break the two of them up through jealousy, claiming Christian was seen with a girl in Holland (Danny in on it too). Kate confronts Christian, who denies it, but she refuses to listen to him. Only realises its all false when she overhears Abbie on the phone to Chris, and the two have a blazing row, where Abbie’s true character comes out. Kate never wants to see her again, and is now terrified she’s lost Christian- but when he comes back from Holland, he goes to see her and they work everything out. Abbie and Kate avoid each otha at Uni, and altho it’s hard for her, her friends help her through it- particularly Emm. (I’ve written nearly all of that- K)
May: Christian asks Kate to move in with him, and after a little debating, she does so. Christian leaves with a1 to go to USA for 2 weeks, and Kate ends up speaking to Ben on the phone in the morning, as he’s looking for Chris! Kate doesn’t like being all alone in the flat, and when Christian comes home early the night before he’s due back he nearly scares the hell outta her! (hehe, she tries to hit him on the head with the bedside lamp!) Christian + Kate go flat shopping after she reveals her unhappiness there, to try and get it more like home for her, rather than feeling like she’s just lodging. Kate meets the a1 guys at the ARMI house- Kate and Ben instantly strike up a brother/sister type relationship (he pelts down the stairs and leaps on top of her going “Hi I’m Ben- we spoke on the phone!” *big grin* lmao). Kate doesn’t actually meet Paul until he, er, walks in on her and Chris in bed together, not realising she’s there! Haha. She finally ‘meets’ Paul when he comes in to apologise the next morning for walking in on them!!
June: a1 release new single One More Try and Christian’s really busy- he’s having to cancel a lot of ‘dates’ with Kate and he’s away a lot; Kate’s getting stressed with exams and Tim’s upsetting her a lot; one time, after arranging to meet Kate’s family, Christian has to cancel due to a1 work at the last minute, and Kate’s really angry as this was really important to her; they end up having their first major row and Kate ends up storming out of the flat and going to stay at Emm’s (I told you you were gonna be in this more hunny! Why do all my fics with you in end up dying?! lol). Next day at Uni, at lunch, Christian comes in and goes straight up to Kate and starts kissing her in front of everyone! He’s v.v.v sorry and says he didn’t mean it when he said a1 were more important than her (which he did!). Tim’s pretty jealous when he sees Kate has a ‘boyfriend’; and everyone else is pretty astonished to discover it’s Christian a1 too! Christian meets all of Kate’s friends. A week later, Christian asks Kate if Emm + her boyfriend Noel want to come and have dinner with them and the rest of the a1 guys, Emm agrees but Noel has to cancel in the end so she goes on her own with Kate- the guys have brought someone too, save Paul (Mark, who’s going out with Lyndsey and Ben’s girlfriend Jenny). But the night ends up being slightly uncomfortable as Ben and Jenny have a (apparently common) major argument and end up breaking up with each other. Ben’s not too upset though- it’s more of a relief that it’s all over. Emm feels ill after the meal and has to stay the night in the spare room (much to an interested Ben’s delight!). After that, Ben keeps coming to the canteen at Uni to have ‘lunch’ with Kate, although he really wants to see Emm! Hehe. Emm then (conveniently- haha) finds out that Noel has been cheating on her and they split up. She wants to talk to Kate, but she’s busy being lectured by her, er, lecturer- lol- about her ‘drop’ in work; Ben’s come to the canteen to have lunch aaaagain, but when he sees Emm looking all upset he takes her back to the ARMI house with him to talk about what’s wrong and to buy her lunch to cheer her up (Okay, Ben buys things in this, okay? Lol) and then one thing leads to another (rebound danger! Etc) and they end up shagging on the sofa (oooh-er! Hehe.) Emm ends up freaking out after it’s happened though and hastily leaves the house, with Ben running after her. Paul and Mark see her leave, but as Ben fails to stop her, when they ask him what’s going on he just snaps at them and goes and shuts himself away in his bedroom! Kate goes to see Emm after Uni to apologise for missing her at lunch, but then finds out that something else has happened!! Kate immediately blames Ben (ha!) but Emm tells her it’s not his fault, but now she’s really confused. Kate goes to talk to Ben at the ARMI house, but he’s refusing to open his door for anyone!! She ends up shouting at him through the door that he needs to talk to Emm, and things could still be okay. Kate encourages Emm to give it a few days and then she goes to see Ben at the ARMI house one lunchtime- he doesn’t answer the door though until she starts calling up at his window and he realises it’s her!! Then he comes bounding down- haha! They talk about things, and Ben confesses he’s liked her for ages and he liked what happened- could they make a go of things? Emm likes him too, and they decide to give it a trial run.
Kate and Emm take and pass their exams!
July: Ben’s in the canteen with Kate and co. when Tim starts being overly nasty to Kate (snogging Rache in front of her, etc, to wind her up) and she gets upset. Ben’s angry and HITS Tim!! haha. Christian finally meets Kate’s parents; Kate and Emm leave Uni- Emm and Ben still going well!
August: Mark splits up with Lyndsey; Kate, Emm and a1 all go on holiday together to Thailand! And it’s there that Paul starts acting all odd…
September: Kate gets that job at Primary school!! Christian writes a song for Kate and it gets picked to go on a1’s next alb! Aaaand… (this is the bit that’s the heart of LTD, lol!)… Paul realises that he’s fallen in love with Kate. He keeps it to himself though, and tells no-one.
October: slight dilemma when Kate finds herself throwing up in the mornings and Christian’s adamant she’s pregnant!! She takes a test though at the doctors and she’s negative- they confirm she has food poisoning! It leads to Christian + Kate having their first real talk about having a family, though! Ben helps Kate out at school during a music lesson by teaching all the- rather starstruck kids!- the keyboard; Christian starts getting a little suspicious about all the time they’re spending together, but Kate assures him they’re just frrrriends!! She has bigger problems in store… Paul is constantly avoiding her and she doesn’t understand why.
November: tensions start to build. Paul makes excuses not to be around her, and definitely not be in the same room as her. One night they all end up staying up watching videos, and everyone goes to bed leaving Kate + Paul alone, and she falls asleep on him!! Needless to say he feels pretty uncomfortable- and he plans to move when he film’s finished… except he falls asleep too! Ben gets up the next morning to see them asleep on each other on the sofa and thinks it’s hilarious and gets Mark to get the camera and take photos!! The flash wakes Paul up and when he realises what’s happened he reacts really out of character, shouting at the two of them to be more mature, and ends up getting out there pretty sharpish, whilst Kate’s just ‘whaaaa?’ all groggy- haha! But it even gets to the point where he’s in the games room one day playing on the Playstation, Kate comes in to say ‘ooooh I’ll play ya!’ and he just goes ‘no, you take it’ and gets up and practically runs out the room! Kate begins to realise something is wrong. She talks to Chris about it, saying she thinks she must have offended Paul in some way, she must have said or done something wrong, because he hates her. Christian assures her he doesn’t hate her!! but Kate doesn’t like all this frostiness- she gets on fine with Ben and Mark- and it gets to her too, because Paul and Chris are so close. Christian agrees to have a word with Paul, and he tells him to try and make a bigger effort with Kate- spend more time with her and stuff. That’s the last thing Paul wants to hear!!! He says he will tho, to get Chris off his case. But of course, in reality, it doesn’t happen.
December: a1 are v busy at the beginning of the month but they’re all together again for Christmas! For New Year, Kate’s going to Norway with Christian so she can meet his family!
2002
January: Kate and Christian return from Norway and it’s the middle of that month that Paul has just come to blows with himself, and he knows he has to tell Kate how he feels- and he comes out with it one morning at the ARMI house when the two of them are in the kitchen together- he tells her he’s in love with her. She’s pretty shocked. Paul apologises and says that he can’t help out he feels, he’s really sorry, but that there is no way he would ever come between her and Christian. a1 then leave for a big 3 week tour of Asia, leaving Kate to come to terms with this new startling, and potentially destroying news.
February: a1 return mid month and about a week later, Paul makes an excuse to get out of a meal Kate and Christian are throwing at their flat; Kate gets suspicious why he hasn’t come, and is starting to get really worried by the whole situation. She says to Chris she’s going to the shop to fetch something, but really she goes to the ARMI house to talk to Paul- but they end up snogging! (eeeek, lol!); She leaves quickly, but when she gets back to the flat she can’t face Chris and goes off to hide in the bedroom saying she doesn’t feel v well. She feels really guilty. Mark wonders if something else is really the matter, and goes into see if she’s okay- and she confides in him what’s happened, and how Paul feels. It turns out he was suspecting something was going ‘on’ between her and Paul anyway! He tells her he’ll have a good talk to Paul and that she shouldn’t tell Christian.
March: difficult month- Paul and Kate are being really awkward around each other and Paul’s avoiding Christian; Christian doesn’t know what he’s done wrong and starts confiding in Ben; Paul’s trying to move on, but he’s finding it really hard.
In the middle of the month, the 6 of them- a1, Kate and Emm- all decide to go out to a club together at night- one they’ve never been too before, so it’s a bit out the way. They have fab time, and some ppl get v drunk in the process- BEN!! Haha, but when they come out it’s absolutely pouring down, and they have to drive back in the rain. Because it’s so late at night as well the driving conditions are not v good- Paul’s driving cos he’s the only one who managed to stay sober enough! But Ben’s being really annoying in the back seat- really drunk and really winding Paul up, telling him to drive faster, he wants to get home. It results in Paul taking his eye off the wheel for one second to tell him to shut up- and a lorry has veered off the right lane and is coming right at them. Luckily Mark notices just in time before a headlong collision, but Paul has to swerve so abruptly that the car they’re in ends up doing a complete 360 over the rails and coming to a rest upside down on the byway. Everyone seems to have blacked out except Kate who suddenly finds herself upside down in the dark and really, really scared. Mark comes to tho and the 2 of them work to get ppl out of the car- the lorry driver’s gone to dial 999. Everyone’s more or less okay except for Ben and Paul- one of the windows smashed in on Ben, and he’s covered in blood- but looks much worse than he actually is. Paul hit the steering wheel as it crashed, and whilst he just looks silent- it’s a lot worse than they know. The ambulance finally comes and Ben and Paul are stretchered away- the other 4 come with, too. At the hospital they find out that Ben’s okay- he regained consciousness in the ambulance- and other than cuts + stitches, he’s going to be okay. But Paul’s still unconscious, and they’re doing tests on him. He could slip into a coma. Everyone is terrified, and no-one blames themselves more than Ben when he finds out what Paul’s condition is. Everyone takes turns sitting by Paul, and it really highlights the relationship between Kate and Paul. She can’t believe this is happening, and that there could be a chance they might lose him. Ben’s completely inconsolable. But, after a weekend completely out of it, Paul comes to on the Monday and everything looks like it’s going to be alright! Paul has v few injuries and is discharged in the next few days and there’s no waaaay he blames anyone for what happened! It was just an accident, and that’s final. They’re all v lucky. (I have actually written some of the car accident scene, and some of you have read it too! Hehe! It is really sad)
April: Things come to a head in the middle of the month when Kate and Paul (who have coincidentally both come down together cos they couldn’t sleep) come down one night at the ARMI house and end up getting really, really close on the sofa! They’re stopped though, when Kate sees someone disappearing upstairs- someone caught them!! They stop before it goes any further, and go to bed. All next morning they’re trying to decipher who it was, and by the odd way Mark’s behaving around the two of them, they guess correctly it’s him, but no-one says anything. There’s an uncomfortable atmosphere all round.
At the end of the month Ben moves out the ARMI house, and gets his own flat with Emm!
May: at the beginning of the month, when Kate finds herself alone with Mark, she confronts him and asks him if was him who saw them; and he says yeah and ends up having a right go at her, saying she’s messing the group about and destroying friendships and she should ‘get her act together’; Kate goes away and has a good think about things- and after having a very vivid and confusing dream about actually having sex with Paul, she comes to the conclusion that: a) she’s in love with Paul as well as Christian, and b) she can’t stay around here anymore cos she’ll tear Christian and Paul apart. She decides to leave. She waits until Christian’s gone away with a1 and then packs her stuff and leaves the flat, leaving a note explaining to Christian that she has to go cos she’s “messing up the group”, not mentioning Paul at all. She moves in with a friend of hers where Christian won’t find her. When Christian comes home and finds she’s left, he’s absolutely devastated- he wants to know what he’s done wrong. He goes straight to the ARMI house totally upset- and all the guys are shocked- especially Mark! When he reads the note Chris shows them he realises that he must have driven Kate away, but he never meant to! He just thought she’d tell Chris the truth- not run away; Paul knows why she’s left too, and is pretty upset. Ben’s really angry though, and wants an explanation for it all. Meanwhile, Kate’s told Emm everything about her and Paul. Emm’s pretty shocked, but understands why she left; Ben though demands to know where Kate is staying so he can ‘talk’ to her, but Emm won’t tell him- Ben threatens to go and see her at work, but Emm makes him promise not to. Kate’s really upset by the whole thing and Chris is very, very miserable.
At the end of May, Kate actually sees Paul out shopping. She tries to avoid him, but he sees her and tries to talk to her. She just brushes him off, saying she’s fine, and then hurries off.
June: at the beginning of June, whilst she’s at work one day, Kate’s visited by Mark. He wants to talk to her, but she doesn’t want to know. But he’s really persistent and so she ends up having lunch with him; he says that he never meant for her to leave Christian and that he’s really sorry he had a go at her, he never should have done that. But she disagrees, she says she’s glad he did, ‘cos he was right. And then she hesitantly asks how Christian is- and Mark tells her that he’s really, really bad- really depressed, he won’t eat, talk, go out and the band are really beginning to suffer. They’re really worried he’s gonna quit because he basically blames himself for Kate leaving. So Mark wants Kate to go round and see Christian one night and tell him why she really left, but that’s something Kate will not do- she doesn’t ever want to see another member of a1 again. But Mark wants her to say a different version of events to Christian- to tell him the truth about her and Paul, but to say she started it all. This way, Paul and Christian’s friendship won’t suffer too much, and the band can ‘survive’. Kate’s furious Mark’s asking her to lie- doesn’t he care about her feelings, too? But in the end Mark persuades her to do it- for the future of a1.
So a week later, she goes to see Christian. he’s sooo completely bowled over to see her there and as soon as he opens the door, throws his arms around her- but once she sits him down and tells him why she left him- he’s deeply upset. He thinks she was sleeping with Paul behind her back, and she has to tell him it never went that far! After she’s said all there is to say she goes to leave, but he won’t let her go- he wants her to stay so they can work things out. But she says she can’t- she’s in love with Paul and ‘she’ started everything- it’s not Paul’s fault. He desperately wants her to stay the night, but she gets up and leaves.
Christian immediately drives to the ARMI house after she’s gone to ‘have it out’ with Paul, although he believes Kate, so he’s not really that mad with him. Of course, Mark knows everything, but when Paul hears what Christian’s been told, he’s really shocked! He finds it so confusing that Kate has said she started everything between them when he knows he did. He tries to tell Ben and Christian this, but they don’t believe him and think he’s just covering up for Kate. Ben now thinks Kate’s a complete “slut” and that Christian’s better off without her; but Christian still misses her, even though he does accept it’s over.
Whilst over at Emm’s flat one day after going shopping, Ben comes home and when he sees Kate, has a maaaaassive rant at her (it’s horrible, I’ve written it!!), and she ends up running out, crying her eyes out. She’s contemplating leaving London- she can’t bear being so close to a1 and running the risk of seeing Christian with someone new, plus it’s now quite obvious that Ben can’t bear the sight of her. She tells Emm she’s thinking of moving to Manchester, or somewhere else far away, but Emm doesn’t want her to go. Kate starts looking around for new jobs, but then decides that she’s not gonna properly escape a1 unless she leaves the country, so… she gets in an interview in Seattle, USA!! She doesn’t tell anyone though, and when she goes for her interview makes up an excuse to Emm that she’s gone to visit her parents. She flies to the US for her interview, and it all goes well.
July: at the beginning of the month Kate gets a phonecall saying that she’s got the job in Seattle, and they’ve arranged her accommodation and everything, too! She’s v. excited and tells Emm immediately. Emm can’t believe she’s leaving- for AMERICA! She notifies her school that she’s leaving at the end of term and arranges to leave for Seattle a week later; Kate tells Emm not to tell the guys she’s going (if they even care) until she’s gone on the Friday night (she’s leaving on the Friday afternoon). Emm keeps to this, but the fact that her best mate is leaving for America in 3 weeks is really upsetting her. She’ll never get to see her. Eventually Ben get suspicious over her miserable behaviour, and a week before Kate goes, she tells Ben everything. Ben’s pretty shocked and immediately wants to tell Christian, but Emm won’t let him. So Ben has to keep the secret for a week, and it’s so hard for him. All the guys want to know why he’s so quiet, but he can’t tell them the truth.
On the Thursday night before Kate goes, she’s out saying goodbye to Emm and all the guys are at the ARMI house, and before he knows it, Ben’s blabbing all out about Kate. They’re all, especially Christian, really shocked. Christian’s actually had a couple of dates/snogs since Kate, but he’s still in love with her and always hoped that whilst they were in the same area they would bump into each other again and get back together. But now she’s leaving for America he knows he’s gotta stop her and get her back. He can’t lose her- not now. He asks Ben when she’s leaving, and then starts panicking when he finds out its TOMORROW MORNING!! He’s thinking about what he can do when Emm comes in- and she immediately knows that Ben’s told everyone. She’s angry at first, but then realise she wants the guys to know- because she wants them to stop Kate- she doesn’t want her to go, after all. They start hatching a plan.
On Friday morning, Kate gets up, all packed and gets a taxi to the airport- arriving there at 10am (her flight’s at 12 noon). The guys and Emm meanwhile are in London city centre, completing the plan, and have to rush to the airport when they realise they’re late. Kate’s killing time at the shops until she boards at 11.30am; the guys get there about 11.15, and try to find Kate but they have no luck, so they decide to split up to have a better chance. (And then it’s my v v v fave bit of LTD, lol, I wld have loved to have written this bit, cos I just think the whole scene is just fab!) Kate’s in the queue all ready to board and it’s Paul who finds her there, but she can’t see him because her back is turned. It’s here he has to decide whether to tell the guys where she is and so Christian can stop her, or to let her go to America. He’s still in love with her and doesn’t want her to be with Christian, but he knows Chris will be ‘finished’ if she does leave, so he decides, after making a heart-wrenching decision, that as a best friend, he has to tell them where she is. When he does so, Christian rushes off as Kate’s on the floor below. He can see her through the glass window and starts banging on it to get her attention. When she looks up and finally sees him- she can’t believe it! He’s here; trying to stop her… Now she’s really confused and doesn’t know what to do- she moves up in the queue and Christian just panics and runs as fast as he can down the stairs and over to her, and she asks him what he thinks he’s doing here! He says he can’t let her go, she has to stop. She sighs, and explains to him again that they just can’t be together because of Paul, blah, blah, blah… but then he interrupts her by saying, “marry me”. She stops and gives him a look of disbelief- “Whaaat?!” But he just grins, gets down on one knee and says, “will you marry me?” He was in the city before buying her the engagement ring he’s now holding out to her! She just stands there, gobsmacked- what the hell is she going to do?!! But looking at Christian, she knows she wants him, and needs him in her life, so she says yes! He gets all emotional and gets up to give her a big hug- he’s sooo relieved and overjoyed. (at this point everyone who’s been listening starts clapping- haahaha! Talk about making a public scene!) Emm and the rest of the guys were hanging back, and when they see them hugging, they know she’s said yes, and they get all excited! He puts the sapphire (theee best rock in the land!) ring on her finger and Kate can’t believe how gorgeous it looks- and that she’s engaged!! Then they kiss for the first time in monnnnths- and Kate knows she’s made the right decision!! Christian leads her back to the gang and she can guess Emm told them all that she was leaving! She gives her a big hug and thanks her- but Emm tells her it was all down to Ben, and not her. Kate looks up at Ben and he instantly goes to give her a hug too- he’s soooo sorry for everything he said to her, he’s just so glad she’s staying. She then has a hug with Mark, before she’s left looking at Paul. And they just stand and awkwardly smile at each other before he says, “come here” and gives her a huge hug- Kate holds onto Paul the most. She tells him she loves him and he says he loves her back, and even though the guys hear, they don’t mind now- it’s the way things are. Paul asks her though why she lied about starting everything between them when they both know he did, and she explains that she didn’t want to destroy Paul and Chris’s friendship. Ben and Chris are pretty shocked to discover that Paul was telling the truth! Then Paul gives her a kiss on the forehead and tells Christian to “promise to look after her” and Christian says he will, and then he gives Kate back to him (it’s as if Kate had to get permission from him to marry Christian!). The 6 of them all head back to the ARMI house for a little celebration and is all happy!
When back home, the guys all decide to get the alcohol out and go and have a laugh in the games room. Paul’s being a bit distant though, and has wandered into the sun room. Chris asks Kate if she’s coming, and Kate says she’ll join him later. As they all go off to the games room, she joins Paul in the sun room and the two of them sit down and have a good talk about things, also laying down some “rules” of their relationship now. Kate doesn’t want things to be odd between them, and wants him as almost like a best friend. He agrees and although they joke “you’ll still think about shagging me, right?!” There’s now a line there that they cannot cross. But as they kind of snuggle up together on the lounger, Chris has wandered back in to see where Kate is, and when he sees the two of them together, he’s a little unnerved. For the rest of the evening he’s a little quiet, as Paul, Mark and Kate make a special meal, and he keeps looking at how Kate and Paul are joking around and the way they act around each other. He doesn’t like it. Kate’s his fiancée now, surely that means something? When they go to bed that night, Kate’s all happy and sees nothing wrong, but when they try and sleep together, Chris’s worries get too much for him, and stops it all and says he’s going downstairs for a bit. Kate’s anxious, and follows him down, and they end up having a huge row in the kitchen- about Paul. Ben is wandering down the hallway when he hears voices and creeps down the stairs and sees the two of them arguing. He stays on the steps and watches, worried, and when Mark sees him as he gets up and asks him “what are you doing?!” Ben says shhhh, and beckons him to come and see what’s happening, too. They can hear they’re arguing about Paul and it makes them uncomfortable eavesdropping. Then Paul gets up and sees them both on the stairs and he’s all confused, but Ben warns him not to come down. But he does so, and when he sees Chris and Kate arguing, and then hears his name, he wants to go down there. Ben and Mark beg him not to, but Paul says he has to, they’re arguing about him! When Paul goes into the kitchen to disrupt the row, Christian tells him to leave, but Paul stands his ground. Kate’s really upset by this point, and tries to get Chris to see that Paul will never come between them. But Chris won’t listen, and when Paul starts telling him to stop being stupid, he can’t handle it- and yells, “okay then- I QUIT!” And Paul looks at him oddly, saying “excuse me?!” But Chris just continues, “That’s it- I quit a1. I can’t be in the same band as you.” And he stomps off upstairs, past a horror-stricken Mark and Ben, and they hear the bedroom door slam. Kate’s convinced their relationship is over too, and starts crying. They all head off into the lounge- Kate wants to go and see him, but Paul says no- he has to go- this is between him and Christian. So he disappears and Kate, Ben and Mark wait in the lounge. They’re waiting for what seems like hours, they’re wondering what’s taking so long, and all fear the worst. Eventually Paul comes down and they leap on him, asking him what happened. But Paul just looks at Kate and tells her to go up and see him. Kate wants to know if everything’s okay, what Chris said to him, but Paul just repeats “go up and see him.” She’s really nervous and has no idea what to expect but she goes anyway. She lets herself in the room, and Chris is sat on the bed, looking at the floor. She edgily sits down next to him, and asks him if he’s okay. He finally looks up at her, but instead of saying anything, he just leans in to kiss her, and without saying a word, the two of them end up sleeping together. After that, he tells her what he and Paul talked about, and that everything’s all right now. Paul has been telling Mark and Ben downstairs the same thing, and now the air has been cleared, all 6 of them are now left to enjoy a happy summer together!! Yay! Hehe.
That’s technically the end of LTD, although there is a little epilogue (2003): Kate and Paul are really close now, even though there’s a respect in their relationship, and they vow to remain purely platonic. Paul even gets a girlf called Heidi, (lol!! well, he was going out with her at the time!) and he’s v. happy! Mark’s attached too, with Natalie. Christian and Kate are looking forward to their wedding next August! But it’s now the following February, and it’s almost time for Valentine’s Day. But a few days before, Ben has come to Kate and confided in her that he’s thinking about proposing to Emm!! Hehe, and he has a plan and everything, he just needs her and Chris’s help…
On the day itself, Kate, Chris, Ben and Emm all go out for a ‘double’ meal together, and then onto a bar, and it’s here that Ben gets up on stage and sings ‘Like A Rose’ to Emm, who starts crying she’s so embarrassed! And then he jumps off the stage, and with the microphone proposes to Emm in front of everyone! And of course, she says yes straight away! (I’ve written that part, too! It’s one of my v fave bits I’ve written, cos I love writing romantic Ben, tis fab!) Ben hasn’t got a ring though, they’ll buy one together the next day. But now they’re engaged- Kate and Chris and the other guys knew what was happening anyway, and have planned a huge surprise party for them back home! Everyone’s really happy and settled, and taaa-daaa that’s the end of LTD!
Ooooooh and didn’t mean for it to be that long!! Haha! Neways, that’s the entire storyline for LTD- what was going to happen and all. (a lot of it derives from dreams) Hope you kinda realise now why I cldn’t write it all- it isssss exceedingly long!! And even though I still love it very much in a way, am never going to do anymore of it. But there ya go, that’s the storyline, (kinda read like a little story on its own, didn’t it?!) and hope it provided a few little surprises for you! Hehe. And yes, I am aware of how cheesy the airport scene was, but I liked it okay?! Haha.
First Time is still going strong, and look out for ADG… very, very soon!!
Thanks for all being fantastic supporters of this fic!
Lotsa love,
Kate
