They were all lined up on stage. Debbie at one end. Then Gina and Adam were holding hands next to each other, next to them Gary and honey were holding hands and something that was shocking everyone was next to them, Sheelagh and Des were holding hands.
"Is there something going on between them two?" Asked Cameron
"Of course not. There just friends." Answered Kerry. At that moment Des kissed the top of Sheelaghs head for some encouragement. Not that she was bothered whether she won or not.
"we have had the most votes ever and I can say that they have now been counted." Began Jack tensly. The crowd broke out into a short cheer.
"in third place with 2 of the votes is Reg," Continued Reg.
"Oh my god." Panicked Reg. Reg nearly collapsed.
"And in second place with 7 of the votes is Des!" Jack continued
"What?" Shouted Des nearly collapsing as well.
"Ha you came second! Well done!" Screamed Sheelagh. They hugged and Des went and got his medal and stood with Reg.
"and the winner of Sun Hill police station Pop Idol with 90 of the votes is…" Jack built. Debbie stepped forward ready to get the award.
"Sheelagh!" Shouted Jack
"Ahhhh!" Screamed Sheelagh. The crowd cheered. Debbie's face just sunk, and went extremely red.
"What?" Argued Debbie
"Hey don't worry. You tried your best." Reassured Sheelagh. Sheelagh walked over to Jack to get her award. Then Des came running over hugging her, Sheelagh's kid's also ran up on stage to join in the celebration. They were all jumping around hugging when a surprise visitor stormed on stage.
"What the Fuck, do you think your doing?" Bellowed Patrick walking up to the stage. Patrick was really angry. Sheelagh was imaging steam coming out of his ears.
"Patrick! How did you know I was here?" Stopped Sheelagh
"Slumpy told me. But that doesn't matter! Get your coat were going!" Ordered Patrick. Patrick grabbed Sheelagh's hair and started to drag her off the stage. Patrick slapped sheelagh because she was struggling. The crowd was silent everybody just watching what was happening.
"NO!" Screamed Sheelagh
"WHAT?" Barked Patrick in shock. Patrick grabbed Sheelaghs cup out of her hands and smashed it to the floor.
"I'm not going anywhere with you!" Stammered Sheelagh
"Don't be stupid you Slut now come on. Kids!" Seethed Patrick. Patrick dragged Sheelagh by the elbow dragging her again. Des ran over and pulled him off her.
"Get out! You heard what she said, she's not going anywhere with you!" Yelled Des
"Oh, yeah and what's it gotta do with you Des." Asked Patrick laughing "Patrick you know I'm not scared of you, I never have been." Reminded Des
"What?" Said Sheelagh confused
"Hasn't Des told you?" Thundered Patrick
"Told me what?" Sheelagh cried
"Oh Des you naughty boy. Me and him know each other." Laughed Patrick evily.
"How?" whispered Sheelagh fighting back the tears
"do you remember about twenty years ago when that deal went wrong and the boat got robbed." Told Patrick
"Yes, course I do, I was on it." thought Sheelagh aloud
"Well it was Desmond's father who did it." Bellowed Patrick
"What about me?" Said Des's Dad firmly coming out from the crowd. Patrick's brave face suddenly went. Sheelagh knew this man, she'd seen him before, sheelagh also knew that Patrick was scared to death of him.
"dad, what you doing here?" Asked Des
"I've came to support my family, unlike Patrick here he just beat's them up." Maintained Des's Dad in a calm manner
"that's not true" Lied Patrick
"Stop lying Patrick I've seen you do it, you're a bastard." Corrected Des's father
"Prove it." Spat Patrick but not very confident
"Does he beat you or not Sheelagh?" Asked Des's dad
"yes…yes he does" Stammered Sheelagh
"Oh and your gonna believe that slag dressed like that. Are you?" Laughed Patrick becoming more and more nervous.
"Yes I am, but the thing is Patrick Sheelagh's body is just full of evidence." Replied Des's dad. Patrick realised he was fighting a losing battle.
"I think I'm gonna go home." whispered Patrick in defeat
"Yes I think you should. Go back to Ireland Patrick and never come back." Ordered Des's dad. Patrick walked towards the door.
"Oh wait one minute. I think sheelagh want's to say something." Des's dad hollered. Sheelagh walked up to him and slapped him across the face
"That is for my family." Sheelagh slapped again on the opposite cheek.
"That is for the kids." Sheelagh kneed him in the balls. He collapsed to the floor.
"And that.. That is for me." Patrick got up and staggered out.
