*Glen’s POV*

Love is a funny game, tricks the mind and clouds the senses. It is always so obvious to the outside world but not to the people trapped in the web. Cupid is a sneaky little bugger, taking pleasure from confusing everything. Danny is now confused and worried, on top of all the Autumn stuff. Mark has stayed with him while I was sent to find Cat…so I have come to the place where, if I was her, I know I would be.

The graveyard is cold and frosty…October is fading fast and the signs of winter are already showing. But there, sat on the ground, tear stained cheeks, gazing pleadingly at a gravestone, sits who I am looking for.

“Mind if I join?” I ask, sitting down on the grass next to her. We sit in silence for a minute, her gaze not moving from the stone. I sit silently, trying to work out what I should do. Suddenly I have an idea.

“Hi Mr Ryan, I doubt you really remember me, we only met a few times. It’s Glen Power.” I say and I see Cat shift her head slightly to look at me from the corner of her eye.

“I just want to say; your daughter, she really is something to be proud of, as I am sure you are. She is one of the funniest, kindest people I have ever met.” I say and I see Cat looks a little confused…a bit flattered, but a bit confused.

“But right now, she thinks she has made a mistake, a huge mistake. But she hasn’t, I know that you would be telling her that if you could.” I can see Cat’s eye’s watching my face, the glazing rippling over her eyes full of tears, ready to fall.

“Nothing she could do will ever stop us all loving her, so I want to say thank you sir, for bring and raising such a wonderful woman, a woman I, and everyone else, is so proud to know.” I say, finishing my little speech. I look slowly over to Cat, nervously waiting to see her reaction to all I have said.

“Glen hug?” I ask and she nods. You know I think the Glen hug could catch on…it’s like the Danny hug…just not so…Danny…but I think Glen hugs could be the next big thing. Cat keeps her head buried in my shoulder for a while as I stroke her hair softly. After about five minutes, when I have lost almost all feeling in my arms, I unpick myself from her and take her hand and whisper. “Come on, come home.”

*Autumn’s POV*

I gaze out at the vast mass of water all around us, I have never been on a boat before, it’s a strange feeling, but I rather like it. I can see all around us, see anyone coming towards us. Rory has fallen asleep on my arm, his dirty blonde hair tickling my neck. Cassidy too is sleeping, her head in my lap, her feet twitching slightly in her sleep on the seat next to me. I gaze back across the water behind us, back towards Ireland. I sigh, leaning my forehead against the glass window. I close my eyes and that’s when I see them. I see the first time I bumped into Danny; I see Cat, how kind she was when we first met; I see Danny, Cat, Cassidy and me in the foam fight; and I see Glen giving me those sweets. I see them playing, playing Millionaires; I see Danny and Cat in that hospital; I see Mark teasing Danny with Pringles; and I see Danny hurrying out of the door to Mark’s house…the last time I saw him. I can feel tears coming and I try to blink them away. I don’t want to cry over them, I have made my choice; Rory. I like Rory, I want to be with him, I don’t need anyone else, I don’t. I sigh, opening my eyes and putting in my headphones.

“I'm a phoenix in the water

 A fish that's learnt to fly

 And I've always been a daughter

 But feathers are meant for the sky

 So I'm wishing, wishing further

 For the excitement to arrive
