Shane couldn't believe that he was getting some time off from Westlife. A whole three weeks. He was so worn out, as well as the rest of the lads after promoting Swear It Again in the US and were delighted when it went in at no.2. It wasn't a no.1 but it was better than nothing. All Shane wanted to do was to cuddle up with his girlfriend Sarah.

He opened the door to their apartment. Still the same as he remembered it. "Sarah, I'm home!" he yelled. Shane didn't know that Sarah was in the kitchen crying. Once she heard him she wiped the tears away. She wondered what he was doing back.


"Hey Sarah. How's my girlfriend that I missed so much?" He hugged her so tight and didn't let go until Sarah pulled away when he leaned in to kiss her. He stared at her puzzled. "What did I do?" he asked "Nothing Shay" "Were you crying sweetie?" She didn't answer him. Just looked away thinking how she was going to tell him what she had been longing to tell him for a while. She could feel the tears coming and tried to hold them back but it was no good. He stepped towards her, wanting to comfort her but she moved away from him.

 "Shane I have something I have to tell you but I don't want to hurt you" "Hey you can't hurt me. This is Shane Filan you are talking about here" "Shane, please just sit down and listen"

He moved over to the sofa and sat down next to her. She turned her head away so she wouldn't have to look at him. "This is very hard for me to say Shane" Shane looked at her face for some answers but all that he saw was how much she was hurting and tears streaming down her cheek. He wiped them away  with his hand. "Tell me what's wrong" "Shane... I know you love me and ...we have been going out now for almost two years...." "Tell me. Its okay" "Its not okay Shane. The truth is ...I don't love you anymore and.....  I don't think I ever did" "What?" "I thought I loved you. I never knew what love was and thought I had it with you. I am so sorry Shane"

She started crying harder now and couldn't stop. " I don't know what to say" "And I don't know what to say to you too. Just please don't hate me" "How could I ever hate you. I love you"

All went silent except for Sarah's crying. Then Shane started to sing the song they both called 'their song',  Flying Without Wings.

"And your the place my life begins

And you'll be where it ends

I'm flying without wings

And that's..."

"Please stop Shane. You are making things worse""Things have already reached worse" "No, there's more I have to tell you" Sarah turned and looked him in the eyes. Those heart melting hazel green eyes that she thought she loved. He stared into her dazzling blue eyes. What

more could she add, he thought. "Shane, I have found someone that I do honestly love and I just know its real this time" "Who is it? Do I know him?" "Yes!" He took back what he said. Things just got worse. He felt there was nothing more felt of his heart. It was completely shattered.

"Who is it then?" "Its...am..........it's Kian, Shane!" "What! Your leaving me for my band mate. You are in love with my best friend instead of me?" "Please Shane, your making me feel so guilty. I don't know how to let you know how sorry I am. I wasn't going to lead you on and not tell you and just start seeing Kian behind your back!" "So you haven't gone out with him yet?"

"No. I wouldn't do that to you. I am not the kind of person who goes around and cheats on her boyfriend Shay, and you know that" He stood up and walked over towards the door. He wanted to just run out and never come back again but he didn't want to do that to her. Sarah came up

behind him. "Shay, please don't leave like this" He turned around to face her and just held her close to him for the last time. She started to cry again and kept whispering that she was sorry. He thought of the last time he had heard those words. His last girlfriend who also left him. She cheated on him and  she actually did love. Well that's what she said anyway. Why was this happening to him again? Why? He thought he'd never love again after her but then he met Sarah. She made him be able to trust again and made him so happy. All the romantic things they used to do. He remembered when she flew all the way to the US for his birthday. For Valentines Day he filled her bedroom with red roses and red heart-shaped balloons. All the good times they had together and now it was all over. Why did he have to be a fool again?
