The gang was gathered in the liberty diner, like any other day. Debbie was on shift. Emmett, Ben and Michael was on one side of their usual booth, whilst Blake, Ted and Brian were on the other, with Hunter perched on a chair at the end. Liberty diner was busy as usual, Debbie was running around the place snapping her gum and being her cheerful self. The radio was on in the background of all the talk.

"Hey Deb, Coffee" Brian shouted across the diner.

"Hang on, I'll be over in a minute" she yelled back.

The current conversation was about Emmett's latest beau, but was changing to up coming events. As such, it turned to the remembrance of the bombing of Babylon, it was coming up to six years since that fateful night.

"Are any of you going to the Babylon bombing Remembrance night next week" Debbie asked, as she came over to pour Brian his coffee.

"We'll be there" replied Ben, referring to himself, Michael and Hunter.

"Us two too" was Ted's answer for him and Blake.

"You know I'll be there Deb" Said Emmett.

Brian remained silent he hated thinking about that night. This was because it led to so many things, and Brian lost to very important things because of it. Brian remembered that after the bombing, his Sunshine had left to conquer the art world and his Sonnyboy had moved to Canada with his mommies. Whilst he was left alone. Okay he still had Mikey, Debbie and the rest of his weird family but losing them had hurt. He missed Justin so much, and loved him still, sure they had kept in contact by a few emails and a couple of phone calls but they were more like catch up sessions, then actual conversations. He just missed him whilst Justin conquered the art world, here, France and in Italy.

"What about you asshole you going" Debbie asked him, knocking him out of his thoughts.

Brian was just about to answer when Debbie caught what was being said on the radio…

"Wait shhh… Listen…"

'…now we have received a special email here from a listener who wishes to start our dedicated song hour off. A Justin Taylor from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to a Brian Kinney…'

"Holy fuck" Debbie replied "turn that up Kiki. Everyone had stopped in shock when they heard who the dedication was to.

'…Justin says he has a message here in this song that he hopes Brian will answer. He says "Brian, if you're listening, you better listen and listen well" Ha ha, well Brian this is for you from your Sunshine…'

Brian remained in shock but there was a soft murmur around the diner waiting for the song with the message. The song started playing.

'… Another summer day

has come and gone away

in Paris and Rome but I wanna go home

maybe surrounded but a million

people I still feel all alone

I just wanna go home

Oh, I missyou, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters

that I wrote to you

each one a line or two.

"I'm fine baby, How are you?"

well, I would send them

but I know that it's just not enough

My words were cold and flat

And you deserve more than that

Another airplane, another sunny

Place I'm lucky I know

But I wanna go home,

I've got to go home

Let me go home

I'm just too far from where you are

I got to come home

Let me go home

I've had my run, baby I'm done

I wanna come home

And I feel just like

I'm living someone else's life

It's like I just stepped outside when

Everything was going right

And I know just why you could not

Come along with me

'cause this was not your dream, but

you always believed in me

Another winter day

has come and gone away

in neither Paris nor Rome

and I wanna go home

I miss you, you know

Let me go home

I've had my run

Baby I'm done

I wanna go home

Let me go home

It'll be alright, I'll be home tonight

I'm coming back home…

…that was Westlife's latest single Home…'

Nearly every patron of the liberty dinner tuned the radio out now as they focused on Brian. Debbie and Emmett were openly weeping from the song and the other was smiling softly with tears in their eyes as they too focused in on Brian.

Brian was shocked, but slowly his face became graced with a small smile, he pulled out his mobile, dialled an all familiar number and waited…

"Hey Brian"

"Hey come back home"

Fin.
