“, mate” entered ’s room, where he sat on his bed listening to . He nodded in reply. “What’s up?” wanted to know. “Nothin’. Just not ready to party yet” he said in a bored voice. “C’mon, . It’ll be fun…” tried to cheer him up, but gave up after fifteen minutes. He walked out of the room, leaving on his own. After another thirty minutes, the party had got really started, and two girls ran into his bedroom. jumped around in bed, looking for the source of the disturbance. “Oh my god, . It’s !” one of the girls screamed. The other one tried to drag the obviously drunk girl out of his room. She looked at bit embarrassed. “Can you shut it now, ?

He decided he wanted to go for a walk in the park before he went to bed, so he took his hoodie and disappeared out the door before any of the other guys could try to stop him. Outside in the yard he found with his girlfriend . “!? I’m sorry for disturbing, but can you just tell the others that I went for a walk in the park, just so that they know I’m not dead or something?” asked him. “Yeah, sure.

She was really fit. Her body was great, just like he liked it, and she had this really . He normally liked brunettes the most, but this girl was different. She was hot! She smiled. “Listen, I’m really sorry about my friend. She’s in love with you, you see. And when she heard you sat upstairs in your room she got crazy. She’s not one of my best friends, but still, I care…” She stopped. presumed that she had noticed his difficulty to speak. Or she thought he just wasn’t interested in what she had to say. “It’s OK, really. You couldn’t help it anyway” he smiled bravely. She smiled back. “Now or never” he mumbled to himself. “Did you say something?” she asked. got a grip of himself. “I said I was glad I met you again. I hoped you would like to come back to the party so that we could get to know each other better… You seem like a great girl” felt his cheeks burn from the moment the words came out of his mouth. “I would love to” she said, still smiling. “I’m by the way” She reached her hand out. took it and shook it. “” he replied. “So, let’s go then” said, waiting for .

It all seemed so unreal. didn’t get to sleep again, so he decided to go making some breakfast to the others.

(All of the guys laughed) Reporter: So girls all over The UK now have lost the last free member of McFLY!? : Yeah, they have. But a long time ago though. They’ve been together for six-seven months so… : It’s not like anyone can do anything about it though… Reporter: So, is it : No! I still think she’s fit, but my girlfriend is so much hotter!!! All: Yeah! Totally agree! Reporter: So who is she then? : She’s my girlfriend…? Reporter: No one famous? : Nope… And I love her for it!

We all know you love for the one he is, not what everyone wants him to be” said. and nodding to show they agreed. “But… I was a fan of you before I met him…What if…?” stuttered. “Come on. We know you’re not the type of girl who is in a relationship with a boy she’s not 110% in love with.

“So, you want to come home with me, ?” A brown-haired, pretty fit girl, stood in front of him. “No” he replied. “Why not?
