Making her way back up to the tents Sheelagh caught a glance of Des sat down at the spring. Staring for only a moment in case she got caught. His face look even more handsome when he was angry, shame it was with her though.

"Sheelagh!" Shouted Sam. Sam was waving hysterically from where everyone was stood together.

"Yes" answered Sheelagh

"Come over here for a bit, how are you?" Asked Sam. Sheelagh walked over and sat down next to Sam and Gary, who was still rather on the white side.

"Getting better now, at least I've stopped being sick as much." Explained Sheelagh.

"Erm…Shee…What's with the green stuff?" Asked Honey trying not to sound rude.

"I Don't know, it's keeping me warm though" Laughed Sheelagh

"You mean you haven't put that stuff on" Asked Sam shocked.

"Nope"

"What the hell is it?" Said Sam moving away a few inches so they weren't touching.

"Sam, don't be tight" Said Kerry noticing she'd moved.

"Sorry, it's just…you don't think its contagious do you?" Apologized Sam

"Course it isn't, I've shared a room with her all week and I'm fine" Supported Marylin. Sam moved back again giving a apologising smile.

"Do you know what's wrong with Des?" Asked Phil ripping apart a bread role in his teeth.

"No, why should I?" Answered Sheelagh

"He talks to you that's all"

"What makes you think he does that"

"Everyone talks to you Shee, Your very talkable, if that's a word"

"Oh, right"

"Talk of the devil" Whispered Sam. Everyone looked to where Sam was looking to see Des emerging from behind a tree.

"I need the toilet, you coming?" Asked Sam

"Yeah OK" Said Sheelagh. They got up and walked passed Des. He looked Sheelagh dead in the eye before walking off to the tent.

"He'll snap out of it in a bit, he always does" Smiled Sam seeing what he had done.

"I never knew you two were so close"

"Were closer than you could think"

"Try me"

"Were sought of half cousins, his gran married my grandad when we were both about twelve"

"So the two of you grew up together"

"Yeah, Joint birthday party's and everything"

"Unlucky you"

"What'd you mean"

"Having to put up with him and his mood swings all these years" Sam laughed

"You can stop pretending now Shee"

"What do you mean"

"You, Des, pretending you don't get on"

"I'm not pretending, I hate him"

"Yeah whatever"

"I do"

Sam laughed again "I saw you, the last few days, in my opinion you weren't not getting on"

"ok…Maybe I do, but he doesn't like me"

"Does"

"Well why won't he kiss me, you know what Des is like he see a woman and he's all over them. He won't touch me"

"That's cause it's different with you"

"Different"

"Yeah, he really, really likes you Shee"

"So why won't he make a move"

"Cause he doesn't want to get hurt"

"Why would I hurt him"

"I mean, your married aren't you, he thinks that as soon as you get home you'll go back to Patrick and he be left on his own again"

"So that's what he meant"

"Des has said this to you"

"Yeah before, I told him to get out that's why he's in a mood, listen I gotta go." Sheelagh ran out of the toilets all the way back to the tents. She burst through the door expecting to see Des sat there but instead it was Reg and Marylin in a very personal position.

"Arrrrrrr!" Screamed Marylin

"Sorry! Sorry!" Screamed Sheelagh. Sheelagh shut the door trying to keep her eyes closed though it was harder than she had first imagined. Running back out the tent she looked round the deserted camp. Most people had returned to their tents to escape the rain. Still sat there though was Neil and Des. Des and Neil in a argument as usual. Sheelagh walked up behind them and hid behind a tree so that she could hear them.

"Why you do it Neil?" Asked Des

"I DIDN'T TOUCH HIM" Replied Neil spitting evrywhere

"There's no need to shout"

"I didn't touch him"

"You did though didn't you Neil"

"Ok, I did…but I didn't mean to touch him"

"So your hand just fell there did it"

"No I didn't, I didn't think it was Gary….I thought it was…someone else"

"Who? Who else would be in that tent"

"No one it was a accident, just leave me alone" Neil stormed off brushing past Sheelagh's tree just missing her. Sheelagh stepped out from behind the tree and began to walk slowly over to Des.

"What do you want?" Sulked Des not looking at her.

"To say sorry"

"What for, leading me on like you cared"

"No, for pushing you away when I want to be with you" Sheelagh sat down opposite Des trying to get his eye contact.

"Yeah right, you just feel sorry for me"

"No Des I feel summat much more than that for you "

"Oh yeah and what would that be"

"Love"

"What"

"I love you Des" Des finally made eye contact with her.

"You serious"

"Yes"

"You see the thing is I… I love you too" Sheelagh leant forward and kissed Des on the cheek. Sheelagh got up and began to walk back to the tent.

"Don't I get a bit more than that" Des stood up watching her walk away

"No, not till I split with Patrick" Once Sheelagh was in the tent and could no longer see Des he ran around doing a little dance. Then finally stood up on a bench and punched the air.

"Go Taviner!" He cheered
