Life Is A Rollercoaster (Ronan Keating / Boyzone / X Factor) fan fiction

Fifty

About a month later Ronan was stood at Heathrow airport, with me, Sharon Osborne, the other X Factor finalists and a large TV Crew.

We were waiting to board a flight to Los Angeles, where we'd be looked after by Sharon for a week. We'd probably have to sing every day.

I was reluctant to say Goodbye to Ronan, we'd been so close since the end of the tour. On the other hand I was so excited.

I thought even if I didn't get though, it would be an amazing experience. Ronan would hear me say no such thing and kept telling me how he was going to be there every Saturday night to cheer me on.

The live TV shows were scheduled to start in a month, they would be starting to broadcast the auditions any time now, and by the time they'd got through those it would be time for us lot who got through to face the music....so to speak.

The final day at Sharon's came, I was so sad I didn't want to leave.

She sat me down in her living room and said, "Vic, you know Ronan?"

"Yeah..."

"Does he get a lot of attention?"

"Well yeah" I said

"I think you're going to get more, you're something special I knew that the moment I first heard you"

I just stared at her with my mouth open.

"You're in my final four"

"Oh my god!" I hugged her.

"Now go back home to that gorgeous man of yours, and make sure he looks after you for the time being" she said.

A week later me and Ronan were sat at home watching my first audition on TV, I thought I looked terrible, probably because I was so nervous, but Ronan thought I looked amazing.

A couple of weeks later we sat and watched in horror, and then laughed as mine and Ronan's relationship was outed on National TV by Sharon Osborne.

I couldn't believe they hadn't edited the bit from her house. Ronan didn't seem to care though. "Vic" he said, "I love you, and I don't care who knows!"

He came with me to the dress rehearsal for the first live show. I was so nervous I felt like I was going to be sick. "Vic, you'll be fine. You'll blow them all away"

I smiled at him, I was glad someone had confidence in me. Although I had been given a relatively easy first song, maybe I'd be ok...if only until week two!
