Finally, I'm leaving! I learned where my bunk was, and got a tour of the bus and studio. All that was fine, subtracting the parts where the lads gave me torture throughout the whole thing. I was insulted, made fun of, and even shoved a few times, twice I fell because of the force. "If only they were nicer," I say to myself. When I get back home I Skype call my parents. "Hey, Colm. How was your day? Did you enjoy the first day of your new job?" My mother came on the line. I have to make up an excuse. I don't want to tell my mother about what had happened, truthfully.
"It was great mom! I became included right away, and I fit in so well!" I was excluded by everyone, and I know I don't fit in, at all. The only good thing is that the background singers and instrumentalists excepted me. "That's great," she said, "Do they like your voice?" "Yeah! They think I'm amazing!" They listened to some of my recordings, called me a hoarse gimp. My mother and I skyped for a while longer until she had to go. I turn off my computer and go get some food. A vibration goes off in my pocket. I look at my phone and see that I got a text from an unrecognizable number. Right when I read it I know who it is.
Heya, column kidders :)
Keith is this you???
Wow! You figured out the problem! You just earned a gold star! 🌟 CONGRATZ COLUMN KIDDERS! You just won a trip back to celtic woman!
How did Keith even get my number?
Whatever, blondy bleaches a lot
Oooooh.... Soooo offensive!!
Why do you guys even hate me?
Because you are a worthless piece of trash. I'm not lying. You should know that by now. It was better off without you joining. Why don't u go back to college, where you belong. Why? To hopefully get you smarter you stupid boy. Lol just some advice.
I feel a tear stream down my face.
WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP YOU HYPOCRITE!!!
With that, I turn off my phone and jump into bed. I don't want to ever go back to Celtic Thunder, but I know I have to. We have rehearsals for 3 more weeks, and then we have a tour. Thank God it's only in Ireland. I can't even imagine going through all of that bullying for over 5 months going to different countries. Too much. I soon grow tired and fall asleep for a while, hoping that he I would stay asleep forever.

Everyone is here. The meeting room is filled up. The instrumentalists are here, along with the dancers and background singers. I am sitting with the background singers, since I'm one of them. The lads are up front. They all stand before a devastated Sharon, covering her face in her hands. We have no idea what is going on. We notice something wrong; two of the lads aren't here; Neil and Ryan. "Speak to us Sharon, what happened? And where are Ryan and Neil?" George speaks with kindness, and softness. "Boys, and crew," she starts, "yesterday, a very tragic thing happened." Everyone gasps. We know something bad must've happened to the two missing lads. "Ryan and Neil were involved in-"

I jump out of my bad dream. I want to remind myself of that nightmare, but I suddenly can't remember it. Usual for me. Well, it is now 10:36 at night, so I decide to go back to sleep, thinking of what will happen next on my journey with Celtic Thunder.
