chapter one
I couldn't believe that I hadn't been able to get tickets for the Boyzone concert, it was going to be my only chance to see the Westlife lads. I was quite glad that their co-manager, Ronan, made them go on tour with him and Boyzone as it gave me more chances to see them. I went to the box office to see if they had any spare tickets, I didn't care where they were, if it meant that I got to see the gorgeous Shane then I would sit anywhere. They were all sold out though. I slowly walked back to the train station in the pouring rain, I was soaked and just wanted to go home and cry. This was the worst day of my life. The cold wind blew my hair across my face, but I didn't care, my lips were shaking and I couldn't feel my fingers. I could hear the fans inside Wembley Arena screaming, I knew that I should have been in there, part of the crowd. I walked along with my head hanging, I knew what my friends would say at school the next day.
"Sorry to bother you but you wouldn't know where the back-stage entrance to Wembley is, would you?" a soft Irish voice said. I looked up and standing in front of me was Shane Filan, the man who I had declared my undying love for all over my school books. "Erm....you just follow the path and go along by the metal gates, I'm Keri by the way." I stumbled. Shane stood there smiling, I was still shaking although now I didn't know whether it was because I was cold or because I was standing next to the man of my dreams. "They told me that the English weather is like the Irish, but I didn't think it was this bad." said Shane laughing. I didn't know what to do or say, he slowly wrapped his leather jacket round me. "Hey, do you wanna come with me and we'll see if we can get you dried off somewhere?" asked Shane. With that he took my hands, placed them in his and started walking. We walked up the famous Wembley Way, slowly approaching the arena. We got to the gates and I saw Boyzone's head of security, Barrie Knight. He looked down at me and laughed at Shane. "Tut tut, what will Ro say?" Barrie said smiling at me. "You know I'm only meant to let family and friends in?" he asked us. "Yeah, and Keri's my friend." answered Shane. I couldn't believe that Shane had just called me his friend, he took my hand and told me to follow him. There were lots of people walking around back-stage, I stood in awe watching all of them, I couldn't believe this was real. Shane went to walk of, but suddenly turned around, his large brown eyes gazed at me. "Look I've gotta go on now, but I promise I'll come and see you afterwards......I swear."
