So.. Since I've been receiving a couple of reviews for this fic, I've decided to put up the next chapter! Enjoy... and Review!

Chapter 4

The ride to the second location was uneasy. My heart won't stop palpitating; my mind was puzzled. My body couldn't control the emotions building up. A tear started to fall on my cheek. Good thing I was facing the window of our cab and that Ms. Lily was busy with her laptop. I wouldn't want to worry anyone about my sudden nostalgia.

Phoebe, focus on something! Wipe that tear away and focus on your work. A voice in my mind was cheering me up again. I agreed to forget about it for a while and think about my present situation.

"Ms. Lily? Any news from the editor? " I asked, trying my best to whip up a conversation.

"Erm. Not much. We're still doing the spring photo shoot for the boys. I'm just doing my article for them. I've interviewed them before you came," She lifts up her face. I could feel her eyeing at me. Maybe my scene a while ago really did freak some people out. But, I shouldn't worry about that. It's done anyway. Past is past, as they all say.

McFly's huge tour bus was in front of our cab. Since Tom knows a perfect place for our shoot, I've instructed the cab to follow their bus. Manchester is an incredible place to shoot. In fact, I've been here a couple of times for my photography business. My clients enjoy our photo shoot here since the fresh air relaxes their bodies and just brings out the perfect shots.

We arrive at a stretched wall covered with ivies and lilies. A huge wooden door welcomed us to the place. Behind the wall was a beautiful garden. It was immaculate; majestic in its own sight. The flowers were beginning to blossom, the trees were green as ever, the air smelled as fresher than the trees. Wooden benches were located at every corner. A defined sculpture made the fountain flow elegantly. Tom was right. This was a perfect location for our shoot.

I started to pump up my creativity skills. I wandered around the garden, looking for a perfect place to start. I took the camera out of its bag and started to make test shots. The colors were wonderfully bursting out of the image.

"Phoebe," Ms. Lily called out my name from a distance. "We need a photo of the each on of the members and the whole band. So should we start?"

"Definitely," I said. I had hesitations inside me. I still don't know how to work things out with him today.

The boys approached me. All, except Danny, were having fun inside the garden. They were frolicking around like kids in a field. Dougie was even rolling around, enjoying the garden. But, Danny was just there, sitting quietly on a wooden bench. He was looking down at the grass. I could sense that he feels just as uncomfortable as I am.

"So Phoebe right?" asked Dougie.

"Yeah," I gave a little smile.

"What's the plan?"

"Nothing, really. Just play around like what you were doing a while ago. I'll just take some shots from there," I suggested.

"Really? You're not requiring make up or those crazy stuff the other photographers do?" he doubted.

"Make ups? You're guys, for Pete's sake. And, what crazy stuff are you talking about?"

"You know. The 'raise-your-hand-and-put-it-on-your-head' thing or the 'mean looks'?"

"Are you kidding me? Of course I won't do that. I'm just the normal photographer. I prefer candid,'"

"Cool. So we probably start playing now, huh?"

"Start whenever you feel like." I ordered. Then, off Dougie went to tell Tom, Harry, and Danny.

After a while, I could whispers and murmurs coming from the boys. They were all pushing Danny so that he could go back to life. Danny was lifeless like his spirit was flushed out of him.

"Hey, Phoebe!" Harry called out. They were standing a few meters away. I looked back to see them all up ready for the shoot. He gave a thumbs up and a questioning look. I just answered back with a nod.

Dougie started to roll again. I was shooting them from different angles. I tried to look for a perfect spot to picture. After about a hundred shots , I've announced that I'm done.

"Wait, wait, wait. You're done taking single and band shots?" Ms. Lily asked with a puzzled look.

"Yeah, why?"

"I've got an order from the layout department that they need at least one group 'facing-camera' shot," she handed out the papers emailed by layout people. I faced the guys and gave an apologetic look.

"Guys, I'm sorry. But we have to do a traditional look-at-the-camera shot,"

They all gave nods and grouped themselves together. As I found a nice spot, I started snapping pictures of them. After a number of photos, I've finally announced the end of the shoot.

"Thanks Phoebe. This is best photo shoot we've been," Tom said.

"Yeah! I definitely had fun!" Dougie said while grinning.

"Thanks Phoebe!" Harry called out as they three of them went back to their tour bus.

Danny was still there, looking at me. His gaze met my eye. I bit my lip and looked down.

"Phoebe, please. Talk to me. I need to explain. You need to know what really happened," he said softly, holding my hand. I quickly withdraw and shoved my hands to my pockets.

"Please Phoebe, give me another chance," he was pleading, trying to catch my attention.

I closed my eyes and blurted out, "Ok. You have me. Tell me everything,"

"I can't do it now. You don't have anything to do tomorrow evening, I suppose?"

I do have a lot of things to do. But, I've always wanted to hear his side of the story. I wanted a closure so that my heart could rest in peace. Maybe this time was destined. Maybe I should give a second chance.

"Ok," I cleared my throat out.

"Let's meet at San Lorenzo's in London," he suggested.

"Ok," I confirmed.

"Phoebe, Thank you." His eyes were full of sympathy.
