Sharon Cherski was pissed off. She had been to at least a dozen job interviews in a week and all had gone badly. She had been sitting on her sofa glued to the television set for the past hour.

She saw Residue on MTV and watched their interview and song.

Shane looked good with eye-liner on she thought to herself. She really did care for him a lot, she knew she could talk to him about anything. As goofy and playful as he was, she knew he could be mature when it mattered and she admired him for his honesty.

He was probably her closest friend second to Angela. She did love him but valued a friendship with him above a relationship, friendships lasted and all of her relationships had failed and she really didn't want Shane to stop being a part of her life.

The doorbell rang and she begrudgingly stood up and answered the door. As she opened it she was greeted with a smiling Shane.

"Shane! I've just seen you on TV, you guy's were awesome" she smiled embracing him tightly.

"Hey Sharon" he said, not wanting to let of her, she felt so good pressed up to his body.

She broke the embrace and rushed him inside her house. "Want a drink?" She asked.

"Sure" he replied, making himself comfortable on her sofa.

From the kitchen she shouted "So what the hell was the phone-call about?"

Shane looked to where her voice was coming from "I dunno dude, Jordan has a lot of explaining to do though. Got anything to eat?"

Sharon laughed and grabbed some chips from her cupboard. He never stopped eating she laughed to herself.

She handed him the bag of chips and sat down next to him. Shane opened the chips and started shoving them into his mouth as if he hadn't eaten in a week.

"Want some?" he asked with a mouthful.

"No thanks, I'm good" She laughed.

Shane swallowed his chips and looked at Sharon. "You know that song was about you right?" he asked, hoping that Sharon would suddenly jump him and start kissing him.

Sharon smiled at Shane "I kind of figured that yea" she said shyly. "It was great, I've never had anyone write a song for me"

He sighed and reached for another handful of chips. "Yea well, you're always in my mind so I figured I'd put it into words.."

Sharon sighed. She didn't know how long she could battle herself with her feelings towards him.

"Thanks Shane, I'm touched truly"

They both sat in comfortable silence watching music videos.

"Sharon?" he asked. Not sure of how to word what he was about to ask.

"Yea?"

"You know we got this tour coming up right?" He sighed and took a deep breath.

"I was wondering seeing as you haven't like got a job, you're free to do whatever right?"

Sharon looked at him puzzled and replied " Yea..you're point being?"

"Well, fancy seeing Europe? Come with us, I want you to share the experience with me"

Sharon started smiling ear to ear. "I'd love to!!"
