live and kicking & Kian

chapter seven

Bryan walked into his hotel room and stopped in his tracks. He could hear Kian singing. Slowly he peeped his head around the wall to reveal a tearful Kian reciting "miss you". He walked over and sat beside him. Kian looked up, his blood shot eyes focused on Bryan. "It's Leanne Bry, i think she's dying" "Oh mate" Bryan replied wrapping his arms around his friend. He took the phone and place it beside his ear, "Leanne, its Bryan".

Meanwhile Leanne was still sitting with her mother listening to Kian's amazing voice, it somehow warmed her. Making her feel that everything would be ok, even though she knew it wouldn't. Bryan's voice suddenly appeared. Her mother took the phone and started muttering something. Leanne walked over to the examination bed and laid down clutching her stomach. The pain reached up her body causing her to screw up her face. Her mother quickly grabbed her hand and held it tight.

"Well?", Kian asked with a slight hope. Bryan shook his head "Cancer" a tear trickled down Bryan's face as he watched his mate break down. "we are going to go visit her" Kian nodded and grabbed his face.

"goodbye my friend its hard to die" Leanne whispered her favourite song as she stared out of the window. The day seemed so nice. 'it is hard to die on such a beautiful day', she thought. She knew she would soon die, her eyes felt oh so heavy. 'I'll just have a little sleep', she thought and closed her eyes. Kian rushed in the door and froze when he saw Leanne's pale face. He slowly moved towards her and rested his hand on her cheek 'she's so cold' he thought.

Bryan watched from the doorway, he watched as Kian stroked her hair, he watched as he sang seasons in the sun so softly to her, he watched as he cried. Silence filled the room as Kian finished the song. Bryan took this as his cue, he walked over to the bed and rested his hand on Kian's back. "mate, she's gone"

"I didn't even get to say goodbye, i didn't say goodbye", Kian sobbed "she'll never know how i loved her from the moment i saw her. I'll never forget you Leanne" he grasped her cold hand and began blowing into it like he had at the studio many weeks ago.

Leanne's mother's shadow covered the pale body. Bryan looked up at the lonely woman, she looked so vulnerable like a lost child. "she's all i had, what am i going to do with out her?" Bryan quickly hugged the woman.

Kian opened his eyes suddenly. He smacked Bryan's hand "stop shaking me dammit, I'm awake", Bryan laughed. "i had the strangest dream". "Its all that cheese u eat Ki".

"I met this girl, Leanne fell in love with her and she died" Kian's serious look was quickly changed to one of confusion as Bryan laughed. "That's the name of the girl who won the backstage tickets on toady's live and kicking, u really do eat too much cheese. it warps your mind" Bryan chuckled playfully swiping Kian's hair.

The five lads walked outside to greet the fans. Kian stopped to pull up a pretty girl who had been hauled over by the bodyguards. They're eyes locked...
