Subject: IF I LET YOU GO- A LOVE STORY OF MARGARETTE TIU


You woke up on a fine day in July. The sun was shining brightly out of your window. You jumped out of your bed and called your best friend. This definitely wasn't a day to waste at home. You thought you might go to the park with your mate.
"The park?! What will we be doing in the park?!"
Your friend complains on the phone.
"Oh come on, Gretchen ! It's gonna be a nice day to spend in the park, and besides there might be a few cute boys there we can talk to!"
"Well, yeah? No cuter than Westlife!"
You both start laughing. She's absolutely right. Westlife are the most adorable lads you've ever seen. You're both Westlife fans and you don't think or talk of anything else but those gorgeous lads, especially your babe Nicky .
"Ok then! Fine! I'll meet you in at 12!"
You hang up the phone and look at your alarm clock. It's still 10:00 am. You decide to go shopping for a while…
After 2 hours, you were holding two bags in your hands, full of clothes and stuff. You look in your watch.
"Oh my gosh!" you say. You're late and you still need to freshen up a little. You hurry back home. On your way you bump into a guy and one of your bags falls to the ground. "Oh, I'm really sorry!" The guy says, bending down to help you. You just nod for an answer. You're in haste. You didn't even glance at him. But you noticed that he was wearing a black cap. You just flash him a small smile and turn to go.
You were in a hurry that's why you didn't notice that it was actually Bryan from Westlife you've just bumped into. You rush up and jump in the shower. You pick up a nice, pink dress. You have to look your best today, though you don't know why. But something is telling you that this is going to be the luckiest day of your life.
Bryan was still standing in his place. He couldn't believe that a minute ago, he bumped into the girl of his dreams.
"Hey Bryan !" He turns around and finds Nicky . He immediately grabs him.
" Nicky !" he shouts.
"What?!" Nicky says, not knowing what's going on.
"Have you seen that girl?"
Nicky sighs. "Oh come on Bryan ! I guess you were standing here for a little too long! Enough with your fantasies! Let us go some place nice!"
Nicky drags Bryan and they both head to the park.
You reach the park and meet your friend there. You take a seat by the lake and start talking, well about Westlife.
"Wait here! I'll go buy ice-cream!" you suggest. You still didn't see Bryan and Nicky at the ice-cream stand.
" Nicky !" Bryan gasps. "That's her!"
"Huh?" Nicky says confused and looks to where Bryan is pointing. He sees a lovely girl in a pink summer dress heading to them.
"I told you she was gorgeous! I can't go talk to her!" Bryan panics. "Do it for me, Nicky ! Ask for her name!"
"No problem shy boy!" Nicky smiles.

" Margarette !" your friend gasps. "Look! It… it's Westlife!"
"Oh come on, Gretchen ! Enough with your fant… OH MY God!" you scream.
"Oh, Margarette ! Look, I see Nicky coming to us! What shall we do? What shall we do?"
"I… I don't know! Just act normal!"
"I'll try!"
"Hi!" Nicky smiles.
"H-hi!" you both say, nervously with stupid smiles.
"Em… I'm Nicky !"
You start chatting. Of course you were nervous at first, but then you got along really well together.
"Hey, you girls want to go out for dinner tonight with the rest of the lads!"
"Oh, yeah!" you both burst out.

You look in the mirror. You're wearing a black dress and your hair was worn up. You hear the beeping of a car and rush down the stairs.
You can't believe that you're sitting with Westlife at the same table. Well, Bryan didn't come yet. You and Gretchen were chatting with the lads as if you knew him for years, and everything went on well. Then Shane asked Gretchen for a dance and Kian went with some other girl. You and Nicky were left alone.
"I wonder why Bryan didn't come yet!" Nicky says. "I really wanted you to meet him!"
"It's Ok!" you smile.
"We're really great friends! We're always together! I wanted you two to get to know each other, but he told me he'd do his best to join us! It must be something really important he has to do or otherwise he would've come with me!"
"Are you that close?"
Nicky smiles. "Would you like to dance?"
"I'd love to!" You tell him and he takes you to the dance floor.
"Do you come to the park often?" Nicky asks.
"Yeah!"
"Then how about we meet again tomorrow?"
"Sure!" You smile. You and Nicky were getting along so well, and you became close friends instantly.
It was hard to sleep at night. You had a great time with Nicky . He's really very sweet. You stayed all night thinking about him.
The next morning you wake up you look at your window and smile. You're so excited about meeting Nicky again today. You've missed him since last night…
When you reach the park, you look around for Nicky . You see Gretchen talking to a bunch of boys. She's really courageous when it comes to boys, not much like you.
Finally you spot Nicky . You see him smiling at you. You smile back. He sat next to you and you start talking.
"Oh, there's Bryan !" Nicky suddenly says. You turn and see Bryan coming to you.
"Hi!" he says.
"Hey, Bryan ! That's my friend Margarette who I wanted you to meet!"
Bryan smiles at you. " How are you, Margarette ?"
You smile sheepishly. "Fine, thanks!"
"There's Gretchen !" Nicky says getting up. "I'll go say hello to her!"
" Nicky told me about you! You really seem to be a sweet girl!" Bryan says when Nicky left.
"Thanks!" you say shyly. Bryan is really a cute boy, you thought. You both started to talk. You saw Nicky chatting with Gretchen . From that day, you start to meet everyday in the park. You spend most of your time with Bryan , and Gretchen with Nicky . You also went out for dinner quite a few times together. And you felt you were the luckiest girl in the world to have a romantic boy like Bryan all night.

"Oh, Margarette !" Gretchen says smiling to you. "You don't know what happened today at the park! Nicky kissed me!"
"He did?!" you say excitedly leaning closer to her. "Wow! I'm really glad for ye, Gretchen !" You sit back in your seat and sigh. "And you know what, too?"
"What?" Gretchen asks anxiously.
" Bryan kissed me, too!"
"Oh, Margarette !" Gretchen yells happily and hugs you. "I'm so glad! I'm so glad! I can't believe this is finally happening to us! I really like Nicky so much!"
You smile. "And Bryan is great, too!"
You both laugh gleefully and throw your arms around each other. Nicky and Gretchen became an item then. And as for Bryan and you, you stayed together, as well.
Once you were sprawled out in front of the TV when the door bell rang. You went to answer and surprisingly you find Nicky standing in front of you.
" Nicky !" you say. "Come in!"
He settles on a couch and you sit next to him.
"Where's Gretchen ?" you ask. "I thought she was with you!"
"Nah! She's hanging out with some of her mates!" Nicky sighs.
"Would you like a drink?"
"Yes, please!"
You go to your kitchen. You're really glad that Nicky is here. You take a couple of cans from the fridge and sit next to him. You start talking and you become more lively every minute. You have a few fits of laughs as well.
You were having so much fun that you didn't realize the hours pass by. You were now a little quiet than before. You guess you were tired from all that fooling around.
" Margarette … eh…" Nicky says before he leaves. "Well I've been… uh… maybe later! Goodnight!" he says sweetly and kisses your cheek. Your whole body tingled with excitement.
"Uh… Goodnight, Nicky !"
You lie on your bed and sigh. You don't think of anything else but Nicky .
His adorable smile just takes you to another world. You had a wonderful night together and you can't wait to see him again.
There's a party at Shane 's place tonight. You get ready and wait for Gretchen to come and pick you up. When you reach the party, you see that a lots of people were there already. Gretchen goes to Nicky , and you go looking for Bryan . He isn't anywhere around. You sighed and looked for anything interesting to do.
Nicky takes Gretchen to a corner.
"Come on tell me, Nicky !" Gretchen giggles. "What is it you want to say?"
Nicky puts his hand in his pocket and takes out a lovely diamond ring.
Gretchen gasps.
"Does this mean anything?"
"It's an engagement ring! Will you accept it?"
Gretchen throws her arms around him. "Yes! Yes!" she yells. "What's going on?" Shane comes out of nowhere, followed by Kian . They catch them both kissing and find out about everything.
" Bryan ! Shane ! Guys!" Kian comes racing through the door. " Nicky and Gretchen are getting engaged!" he yells. They all whistle as they see Nicky and Gretchen return, hand in hand.
Your heart sank. You couldn't believe it. Now you know how much Nicky meant to you. You were hurting from deep inside, but you tried your best not to show it. You swallowed hard and went to Shane .
"Hey, Shane !" you tried to smile. "Is it true? Are Nicky and Gretchen getting engaged?"
Shane grins. "Yes they really are, Margarette ! Gosh, I'm so happy for him!"
"Yeh… I am… too!"
You see Nicky standing alone by a corner. He smiles at you when he sees you coming.
" Nicky ! Is it true what I've just heard, you and Gretchen !"
"Yeh! It was unexpected, isn't it?"
"I guess so! You never told me anything about it!"
"Well, I wasn't really sure of my feelings yet! But now I'm sure that I love Gretchen and want to spend the rest of my life with her!"
You turn away, hiding the tear that fell from your eye.
"I'm glad for you!"
You feel Nicky 's hand on your shoulder, but you shrug it away and rush up to Shane 's bedroom.
Bryan was watching all this, and he knew exactly what's been on your mind.
Your heart ached whenever you see Nicky with Gretchen . You felt happy for her. She's your best friend and wanted the best for her. You still went out with Bryan and tried not to think of Nicky .
You're lying on your bed, thinking. A tear ran down your face. You missed Nicky . He seemed to be much into Gretchen that he forgot all about you. You jump as you hear your doorbell. You wipe away your tears and get up. You open the door and nearly fell when you saw Nicky . You didn't expect him to come. His face was pale and his hair was a little messed up. He smiles weakly.
"Hi!" you say and walk aside to let him in.
"What is it, Nicky ?"
He sighs. "Nothing, I'm just tired!"
"Right! Tell me, Nicky , what's wrong? Is anything happened between you and Gretchen ?"
Nicky didn't answer. You bite your lip. You didn't like that look in his eyes.
"Me and Gretchen fight a lot! It seems that we don't have much things in common!"
You move closer to Nicky and touch his shoulder. "It's just that you still didn't get used to each other well yet! But as time passes you both will soon get along well!"
"I say so, too! But I don't think we'll work out!"
"Oh, Nicky ! Don't say that! You know there's nothing that can part between you two as long as you love each other!"
You remain silence for a while. "So you want a drink?"
Nicky looks up to you and smiles. You get up to get some drinks. When you return, you find Nicky standing by the open window. You stay in your place, staring at him. He looked so wonderful under the moonlight. His blue eyes sparkle and his hair moves gently by the soft wind. He remains motionless. He didn't seem to notice you yet. Then you hear him singing softly. You listen to the words…
Night after night
I hear myself say
Why can't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you
You speak to my heart
It's such a shame we're worlds apart…

Nicky enters the flat he shares with Bryan . He founds him lying on the couch.
"Hey!" Nicky says, settling down next to Bryan .
"You know Bryan , you weren't yourself lately!"
"I guess so! Same to Margarette !"
Nicky gives him a confused look. "I don't get it!"
Bryan gets up and stands opposite to Nicky , his eyes staring fixedly at him.
"We've been mates for a long time now, Nicky , and I don't want to hate you!"
Nicky becomes even more confused. "Hate me? Why do you say that, Bryan ?"
"Because the only girl I love, loves you Nicky !"
Nicky stares at Bryan , surprised. He's speechless for a moment.
" Margarette loves you, Nicky , and you didn't notice it!"
Nicky didn't know what to say. Bryan puts his hand on his shoulder.
"I know there's something about you, too! I think you should talk to her!"
Bryan tells him and goes to his room.

You and Gretchen were round Shane watching a movie. Gretchen then goes to the bathroom. At that moment the phone rang and Shane answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Shane ! It's me Nicky ! Gretchen 's in the bathr…"
"Is Margarette here?"
" Margarette ? Oh, yes!"
Shane hands you the phone and you take it from him, puzzled.
"Hi Nicky !" you say.
" Margarette ! I need You! I really need to talk to you!"
"Oh OK! When? Where? Now?! At the park?"
"Yes, please, hurry!"
"Ok, I will! Bye!"
You hang up the phone and leave to go to the park.
"Hey, Shane ! I heard Nicky was on the phone!" Gretchen says entering the room.
"Yeh! He wanted Margarette !"
"He wanted Margarette ?! And where is she now?"
"She left!"

You see Nicky walking by the lake. You go to him.
"Hey!" he says when he sees you coming. You walk in silence beside him.
"Well, I guess you're wondering why I bought you here! Actually, I've wanted to tell you something!"
You hold your breath.
"I… don't think that Gretchen 's the one I love!"
You stare at him speechless. You didn't understand what was going on.
" Margarette …" he continues quietly. "I realized something. Something that was there all along inside of me, yet I didn't notice it."
You become more confused. " Nicky … I" you start to say, but he place his finger on your lips.
"There's another girl in my life, I think I always felt something for her.
But there was something that kept us apart, and kept me from noticing that I truly love her…"
You frown and instantly turn your back to Nicky . You start to breathe heavily.
"Why are you telling me that?" you say abruptly. You were shaking all over.
"All I wanted to tell you is… that girl is you!"
You turn and stare at him in disbelief.
" Margarette … I've always loved you, from the moment I saw you I knew that you were the one for me. But I thought that it's not possible for us to be together, I don't know why! I thought that Gretchen was only a picture of you! But you were there all the time; in front of my eyes; I was blind not to see that you're the one I love; not Gretchen ! I love you, Margarette .."
You didn't know what to do. You're eyes were filled with tears. You couldn't believe this has happened, you wish it hasn't. You turn away from him in tears and couldn't help but run. He tries to stop you, but you run as fast as you can. You don't look behind you.
You finally reach Shane 's house. You go in breathlessly and quickly wipe away your tears. You find Bryan and Shane looking at you in astonishment. You turn away and go to Shane 's room. Closing the door behind you, you lie on his bed and cover your face between your arms. Your hear someone enter the room. You stand up at once and brush a tear from your cheek.
"Where have you been?" you hear Gretchen 's voice from behind you. She seems upset.
"You were with Nicky , weren't you?"
You turn and face Gretchen .
"How long were you two been seeing each other behind my back!"
"We weren't going out together! He just wanted to tell me something…" you stop.
"What did he tell you?"
You don't answer.
"He wanted to tell you that he no longer loves me right?"
You freeze. You don't know what to say.
"That he loves you instead!" Gretchen screams and runs out of the room. You throw yourself on the bed and cry.
"What's gong on?" you hear Bryan from out of the room. Then you hear Shane 's voice.
"You won't believe what Nicky has done!" you hear Gretchen sobbing. You get up from the bed instantly and lean on the door.
" Nicky is a cheater! I once saw him once kissing a girl, and then later I saw him with a different girl! And now he wants to dump me for my best friend!" Gretchen yells. You're shocked. How could she do such a thing! Nicky didn't do anything and you're sure of it. You go out of the room. "Where's Gretchen ?" you ask Shane .
"She shut herself in her room! Tell me, Margarette , what happened really!
Nicky never does anything like that!"
"I know you!" you say quietly and enter Gretchen 's room.
"What do you want?" she yells.
"Why did you do that, Gretchen ? Nicky didn't do any fault!"
"He's leaving me for you! You know what that means? He's leaving me for my best friend, my only true friend! The one I've always trusted! And you expect me to be Ok about it?!" she growled at you. You feel guilty every time she said a word.
"I hate you, Margarette ! I hate both of you! I hate you!"
At that point you couldn’t take it anymore. You run out of the room and nearly fell as you bumped into someone. You find yourself I in Nicky arms staring down at you with pleading eyes. You struggle away from him and start running. You run out of the house, through sidewalks and across the streets. Till you reached the park. You don't have anymore strength to run. You come to a bridge and stare into the water. It rippled as your tears fell.
Suddenly you feel Nicky 's hand on your shoulder.
" Nicky …" you sob. "We can't be together! Gretchen 's my best friend and I don't want us to lose her! Isn't it enough that she hates me now?"
Nicky softly wipes away your tears. You didn't want to look in his eyes. " Nicky , I don't think we can see each other again! I'm sorry" you burst out in tears and run away.
On a late afternoon someone knocks on your door. It was Gretchen . You were surprised because she never talked to you after what has happened.
" Gretchen …" you say surprised.
"I don't want you to say anything! I just want you to come with me!"
She takes you to the bridge, to where you were talking to Nicky . You didn't understand what was going on. Then you spot Nicky at the end of the bridge. He was standing motionless, staring down in the water. You look astonished to Gretchen . You become even more confused as you see her smiling at you.
"Nothing can come between us!" she says, still smiling. You both hug and you start going to Nicky slowly. He sees you coming and walks over to you. You both end up running to each other. He opens up his arm and you throw yourself into them. He holds you close to him. Then you both look into each others eyes, and finally you're lips meet in a passionate kiss…
