Author: MARGARETTE TIU MCGARRY BYRNE
Subject: WHOLE AGAIN- LOVE STORY OF MARGARETTE

Whole Again

Margarette was walking down the street. She was staring at the cloudless blue sky, wishing that the ground beneath her would just swallow her up. Just ahead of her was her ex, Nicky - and he was walking in her direction. Margarette inconspicuously slipped on her sunglasses and continued in the direction she was heading. Nicky just walked right past her. Behind him was one of his mates, Bryan .
" Margarette !" Bryan said loudly. "It's great to see you again!"
"Yeah, it's great to see you too, Margarette echoed weakly.
Bryan yelled to Nicky , "Oi, Kian ! Get your butt back here! Look who I found!"
But Nicky didn't even bother to turn around, or look and just continued to walk.
Margarette tried to act as if she didn't care whether he turned around or not, but Bryan knew better.
Fortunately for Margarette ... Mark , Shane and Kian arrived at where she and Bryan were standing.
"Hey Margarette !" they chorused.
"Hi." Margarette said to them. "How've you guys been?"
"Everything's been great!" Kian replied, "What about you? Have you been okay since you-" Kian stopped mid-sentence realising that he'd said the wrong thing.
"It's okay, Kian . You can say it. Since I broke up with Nico , right?"
Kian nodded.
"Thanks for the concern, Kian ! But I've been fine! I can live without him- the world doesn't revolve around him! As a matter of fact, I'm starting to go out with other guys." Margarette fibbed.

Bryan 's face lit up when Margarette that she was starting to go out with other guys. That meant that he had a chance! He had liked her from the start, that was no secret- at least not to Mark , Shane and Kian anyway.
"That's great Margarette ! I mean, you and Nicky were a great couple when you were together, but this could be the beginning of something really fantastic!" Mark said sensitively.
"So is it true what I hear about you being Blue 's choreographer?" Shane asked.
"Yep, it's true! I am their choreographer.. and it's great fun! The guys are pretty cool!"
Bryan 's face fell. "You're not by any chance dating one of them, are you?" he asked.
"No, Lee , what would make you think that? I'd go out with you before I went out with them!" Margarette told him honestly.
"Really?"
Margarette nodded.
"So would you be willing to be my partner at a party I'm attending next week?" Bryan questioned.
"Where and when is it?" Margarette wanted to know.
"Saturday night, Carlton Hotel." Bryan replied.
"Sure, I'd love to! I'll call you during the week and we can arrange something!"
Kian glanced at his watch, and tapped Bryan on the shoulder, "Sorry to interrupt, but we've really got to get going! We're due at the studios in fifteen minutes!"
Margarette grinned at them, "I've still got to do the rest of my shopping, so I guess I'll be seeing you guys around." she said before walking away.
She couldn't lie to herself, she still loved Nicky after all they'd been through and she was willing to let him back into her life, she only hoped that it would not be too late.

* * * * The night of the party * * * *

Hundreds of screaming fans lined the sides of the red carpet. Security guards did their best to keep the fans behind the barriers erected. Being the sweet, kind Irish lads that they are, Bryan and the rest of Westlife decided to sign some autographs.
Bryan turned to Margarette , "You can head on inside if want. The lads and I are probably going to sign a few autographs first."
Margarette shook her head, "It's fine, I'll just wait here until you're finished."
Bryan leaned over and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Thanks." he whispered, and continued signing autographs.
The flash of the cameras almost blinded them as they continued up the rest of the red carpet. Every paper wanted to get a picture of Bryan 's new female companion. And what made this story extra terrific was the fact that this was the girl Nicky had been going out with only a few weeks ago. This news of their break-up was still fresh in people's minds. And to add to that, Bryan and his female companion looked happy to be with each other. They were laughing and joking, having the time of their lives and oblivious to everything around them.

Nicky , however, felt uncomfortable with the whole situation. While he watched Bryan and Margarette laughing, joking and generally just having a good time, he felt something nag at him. And he couldn't make it go away. He was surprised that he was still able to feel this way about Margarette .
Get a grip on yourself, Kian ! he thought.
Nicky did not like this one bit. He decided that it would probably be best if he drown his sorrow... or was it anger? Well, whatever it was, he decided to drown it.

Margarette glanced warily at Nicky who was drinking like there was no tomorrow. Well, at the rate he was drinking, he'd either be dead the next morning, or so hungover he wouldn't be able to wake up. So it was a pretty accurate description of what he was doing. Margarette looked in Bryan 's direction. He was socialising with members of BSB . Margarette approahced them in order to get a better look at who Bryan was talking to.
Spotting her, Bryan waved her over. When she got there, he began to introduce his new friends to her.
" Margarette , I'd like you meet Nick and AJ from BSB ."
Nick did a little bow which made Margarette laugh. AJ extended his hand, and when Margarette did the same, he bent down and kissed it.
Margarette laughed and introduced herself.
"Well, as you know, I'm Margarette . I'm a choreographer."
Meanwhile Bryan sent Nick and AJ the thumbs up sign and a grateful look from behind Margarette 's back.

Nicky looked on in envy. What the hell did Bryan think he was doing, and what was Margarette doing flirting with Bryan , Nick and AJ like that. Nicky 's eyes wandered up and down Margarette 's body. She was dressed to kill, wearing a little black mini-skirt and a top which was barely there. He could tell that at least half of the guys in the room wanted her. For that matter, so did he.
Totally bolloxed, he stumbled over to where Margarette and the others were standing. Rudely pulling her to one side he began to yell at her.
"Jaysus Margarette , you're such a god-damn slut. First you slept with me, and now your flirting with Bryan and those two pricks from BSB . Just wait till they find out that you're a whore... sleeping with boyband members so you can be on the front page of some trashy newspaper!"
"You pig!" Margarette exclaimed, slapping him on the face, before turning on her heel to leave the room.
A large crowd of people had witnessed what had happened and shook their heads disapprovingly at Nicky , while others including Bryan , Mark , Shane , Kian , Nick and AJ all ran off after Margarette .
Nicky stared at everyone around him in a state of confusion. He was so drunk he had no idea what was happened. He could only feel a stinging sensation in his cheek. Thinking really hard, he was finally able to remember some of what had happen. Margarette had slapped him across the cheek, and that was about all he could remember.

Margarette stalked out of the club shaking with anger. What had she ever done to deserve this? Of course, she knew that he had been drunk when he had accussed her of being a slut, but that wasn't an excuse.
" Margarette !" Bryan yelled after her, "Don't go!"
Margarette broke into a run hoping that they would not follow her. Bryan , Mark , Shane and Kian also broke into a run, staying as close behind her as they could.
Margarette 's ankles were killing her by now, and she made a mental note never to run in a pair of stilettos again. She contemplated stopping to take them off, but realised that if she did, Bryan and the others would catch up with her.
Just leave me alone! she thought. Too busy thinking about what she was going to do, she didn't notice a crack in the pavement in front of her. She screamed, as she lost her balance and fell fowards head first...

Bryan burst forward and caught Margarette before she fell.
"Now what was that all about?" he asked her.
"To tell the truth, I don't know!" she replied. "I just felt that I had to get away from it all."
Bryan looked her straight in the eye. "You're trying to run away from your feelings for because you're afraid of being hurt like the first time! But... but..."
Leaning forward, he pulled her in for a long, deep kiss. " Margarette , I'm not sure how to tell you this, but... well... that it... IthinkI'minlovewithyou!" Bryan blurted out.
"I'm sorry Bryan , but I just don't feel the same way! You're right, after all this time, I'm still in love with Nicky ! I wish it wasn't that way... but it is. So, we're both gonna have to learn to live with that fact."

And with that, Margarette walked away. The sound of blaring horns, and a bright light meant that Nicky was indeed too late, because only seconds later, Bryan found Margarette lying lifelessly on the middle of the road.
