Chapter 2
Now Sheelagh knew for sure that Des was not a bad guy. He would never hurt anybody on purpose especially not her or Niamh. She sealed niamhs letter back up as well as she could and plaaced it back where she found it. She stood up with her own letter and began the long walk home. She wanted to let Des know that she sstill loved him and wanted to help him with what he was going through, but she didn't know how. She thoguht about it as she walked and all night when she got home.
She'd dozed off at about 3am still not knowing what she should do.
At this same time Des was walking over to Niamhs grave as he did just about every night. He sat down and stared at the headstone entranced in the memories of Niamh and Sheelagh, his one true love that he had lost forever because of one stupid mistake. Or had he? A million thoughts were racing through his mind as he noticed that only one of the two notes he had written were still there. Shes found them! Maybe i stil have a chance to make it up to her, a chance to make it right! Just when he thought all hope was lost god gave him one last chance to get the woman he loved back. I wont mess this up, he promised himself, no matter what.
Shee woke up at 7:30 and went to make herself a coffee. She was standing at the bench pouring the hot water into her mug when she decided what she was going to do. I'll write back, she thought, if he left the letters there then he must still visit Niamh. So she finnished her coffee and sat down at the table. She knew exactly what she was going to write.
Dear Des.
It's time to change throw out the books
and start again
Break all the rules
Fall on your face dont be ashamed
You cant waste more time 'cause youve been
gone for far too long
Without my arms
Safe without harm
Follow your heart dont be afraid
You think that youre okay
But i dont believe in what you say
You think that its too late
But its not good
Godd enough for you
Don't hideaway
'Cause i know that youve got what it takes
I believe you can be what you wanna be
Let yourself go
Don't you worry bout a thing
Breaking the chains, so hard to begin
Follow your heart dont be afraid
You think that youre okay
But its not good
Good enough for you
Don't hideaway
'Cause i know that youve got what it takes
I believe you can be what you wanna be
Don't hideaway
'Cause i know that youve got what it takes
I believe you can be what you wanna be
You can be what you wanna be
I'm so sorry. I know now that I was wrong to blame you for everything and leave you behind because of one mistake. I dont want it to take over your life and I want to be there for you and help you through it all. I love you.
Shee xoxoxox
