Rated: PG-13

Chapter 1 - Feeling alone

Tina's point of view:

It's a big night. Everyone was partying except Tina. I didn't really exactly know about what they were celebrating but I know that it wasn't interesting. So I decided to go on the beach and relax so I can think clearly.

The main thing is that Hannah & Paul are engage, Rachel & Bradley are engaged, Lee and Jo are back together and I'm here, well alone. And Jon is in Spain for 2 weeks. It's been 1 week and half that he's gone. I don't even know if he has a girlfriend yet. The last time I saw him with a girlfriend was 2 years ago! I don't think that he wants a relationship yet. There's one mistake that I did, I should have gone with him to Spain. Cause probably he had found out that the others would make a party with all their girlfriends and boyfriends and that Jon didn't have one, so he probably thought that: "Oh, I'm gonna relax in Spain where no one celebrates anything about relationships". I should have gone with him cause I am in the same problem like Jon. I know one thing is that the others are always talking about relationships and that I feel left out. So I'm here lying on the soft beach trying to relax and tell myself that everything will go just fine. But then I heard a sound behind me; I really think that nothing will go just fine!

Chapter 2 - Jon, what are you doing here?

Tina's point of view

"You're not partying with the others", someone ask behind me. I turn around and saw a man's face. I was about to scream when the shadow takes off his ski mask. It was Jon.

"Jon what are you doing here? " I ask, surprised.

"Surprise, surprise! I scared you didn't I"? He asks, smiling.

"Yeah, you scared me, I was about to scream. God Jon, don't do this to me once again" I said almost yelling.

"Yeah well sorry. Hum… why are you not partying with the others?" he asks confused.

"Well everyone is talking about relationship and I'm the only single one so I felt left out," I said, trying to show my sadness.

"Oh, I see, but don't worry you're not the only single one, I am too," he said sitting beside me.

"Really. Before you arrived I was thinking that I should have gone with you to Spain," I said, starring at him.

"Oh, I didn't know you were so desperate to not having a boyfriend. You know I'm your best friend, you can talk to me whatever it is" he said, touching my face.

"Yeah I know, I think that I'm going to sleep here on the beach tonight in my sleeping bag," I said getting up to get my stuff.

"Yeah good idea, can I do the same thing?" he asked, looking at me.

"Sure you can, it doesn't bother me," I said picking the sleeping bags in the garage.

"You can stay if you want to, it makes me feel better when I'm talking to you," I said trying not to laugh cause it's kind of a compliment. And I never used to say compliment to Jon especially.

"All right I'm going to sleep here" he said, turning his head to not show his face turning red.

So we were all installed in our sleeping bags.

"So, tell me about your trip to Spain, wasn't it fantastic? " I ask him.

"Oh my god, it was great. The food was so good. I've been doing all sorts of things. And it had made me relax. But sometimes I was thinking about you. I don't know why but you were always entering my mind. Probably because I needed company and I was probably feeling bad to not invited you to come with me," he said, starring at me.

"Oh don't feel bad for me. It didn't really bother me to see you gone for Spain. And me too I have been thinking about you. Probably because I was feeling left out and you were my best friend and you weren't there for me cause I wanted to talk to you about my anxieties.

"I don't know what to say" he said, shy.

"Me either Jon" I said, shy too.

But then Jon breaks the silence and we talk all night long. After we sleep for about 10 hours.

Chapter 3 - I think I'm falling in love

Tina's point of view

I woke up and Jon wasn't there. I wonder where he was. Oh and then I saw Jon coming out with a breakfast.

"Hi Jon, I didn't know you could make eggs" I said, sarcastically.

"Ha ha ha, really funny Teen" he said, smiling at me.

I always liked his smile; he is so sweet and caring.

"Thanks for the breakfast Jon, it was really good" I said, smiling at him.

He finished his breakfast too.

Jon went inside of the S Club house to put away the dishes. And then he saw a note on the table. He took it and gave it to me.

"Here, there's a note for you. It was on the table," he said giving it to me.

I began to read it. It said:

Hi Teen,
we didn't see you last night when we were partying. But Lee saw you getting out of the house and saw you on the beach. We all know that you slept on the beach. So we were wondering if you want to come to the club today to just party for all sorts things. But if you don't want to come, it won't bother us. So have a good day.

See ya! Luvxx Jo.

"So what was the note saying?" he asks, looking at me.

"Oh here read it," I said giving him the note.

"So do you want to go at the club or stay here?" he asks.

"Hum, I think I'm gonna stay here Jon, are you gonna stay here or go at the club?" I ask, looking at me.

"I'll stay here too; I don't want to go there. I think that they're still celebrating relationships," he said turning his head to face me.

"Yeah me too" I said, looking at him deeply in his eyes.

Chapter 4 - The kiss

We are still starring at each other. Then Jon came closer to me; he touches my face and lips then he kissed me passionately. At this moment we knew each other that we were in love. I return his kiss. When we broke the kiss, we were out of breath.

"Wow, what a kiss" he said, smiling at me.

"Yeah I know," I said, smiling too.

"Teen I have to tell you something" he said, looking in my eyes.

"I got something to tell you too," I said, looking in his eyes.

"Tina Ann Barrett, I'm falling in love with you" he said, a bit shy.

"Jon Lee, I'm falling deeply in love with you" I said, a bit embarrassed.

"I love you Teen," he said, touching my lips.

"I love you Jonny boy," I said, touching his face.

Then we kissed passionately, it seems forever. We were real happy to be together. It's fantastic how god knows our destiny. Jon and me were meant to be together forever; well that's what we were thinking.

Chapters 5 - Leave or break up

***2 years later***

Jon's point of view:

I'm right here sitting on the couch. My manager called me 15 minutes earlier; he said he wants Tina and me to his office to talk about something important. I wonder what it is. Sometimes our manager can be surprising.

So here we are at Simon Fuller's office.

"Hi Tina and Jon, how are you doing you guys" he said, sitting behind his desk.

"Oh good Simon, so what do you wanna tell us that seems to be serious?" Tina ask, worried.

"Well we have a contract for all the 6 members to sign. If one of you guys don't sign you would have to leave the band. The contract is that now its suppose that no one in the band is allowed to have a relationship with one of the members. That's why I wanted you two to come cause you are going out together," he said, seriously.

"Simon you can't do this to us" Tina said, almost crying.

"Yeah man, it's unfair," I said, water in my eyes.

"Guys I'm sorry if you want to continue this job you will have break up.

"But you can't, its our life" I said yelling at him. I almost wanted to punch him right in his face.

"Sorry, I'm terribly sorry. It's your choice, one of you leaves the band or you two break up and continue the life in S Club". Simon said, terribly sorry.

Chapter 6 - Left out once again

***5 months later***

Tina's point of view:

Jon and me decided to break up. We didn't want to leave the band because of us so we chose to break our relationship. Not because we wanted it, but because we wanted to continued the life in S Club. I'm so mad at our manager Simon Fuller to have caused this contract. I wish I could kill him. I still love Jon and he still loves me but we can't kiss, can't make out, and can't go out, it's unfair.

I'm sure of one thing: I'm left out once again. I'm lying on a blanket on the beach. It's almost 9pm and there's nothing to do. I'm not happy but I'm just mad at our manager. I know that I can get over our relationship between Jon and me. But it's just I wish that Simon Fuller could go to hell.

The others are partying once again! But this time they celebrate the new hit "Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You". And also they celebrate the two marriages; Hannah & Paul and Rachel & Bradley's weddings and Lee & Jo are only going out together. But one day they'll be. And well Jon and me are single like the beginning. Jon is very distant cause we have to act like we are just friends but its still too hard. But it's going a little bit better. Then I heard a sound coming closer to me.

"Hi Tina, it's me Paul" Paul said sitting right next to me.

"Oh god Paul you almost gave me a heart attack!" I said, laughing.

"Oh sorry I didn't want to scare you", he said, almost bursting of laugh.

"It's okay Paul," I said, still laughing.

"Well what are you doing on the beach? Why aren't you celebrating with the others?" he ask, confused.

"Paul I am not in the mood to celebrate anything after what happened" I said, tear coming down my cheek.

"Oh understand. This funking Simon Fuller who ruined your life and Jon's life. He will have to pay for what he did," he said with anger.

"Yeah your right. I hate him now. I want to take him in a court" I said, looking angry.

"Yeah lets do that. He'll have his lesson. He will have to pay 1,000,000 dollars" he said.

"I think I'm going to get some rest okay. Tell the others that I'm fine okay," I said getting up.

"Okay, well good night" he said and leaving for the house.

"Goodnight Paul" I said going to my room.

Chapter 7 - Getting really mad

"I really can't believe that he broke your hearts" Jo said, getting really angry.

"Oh god I want to kill him!" said Rachel, getting frustrated.

"If he hurt one of you guys once again, I'm really going to kill him!" said Bradley, angry.

"Simon fuller should go to hell, he's so fucking illiete"! I said, yelling out loud.

"Do you guys know what he needs, he needs to be hated by every single people in the world" said Hannah, determined.

"Okay guys, calm down. It's not the end of the world! Tina and me will get over it okay. So don't do anything that you guys could regret" said Jon, tired of hearing the yelling that everyone was doing.

"Yeah, he is right. Calm down, everything will go just right. But we have to take him to court for ruining two people lives" I said, trying to be good looking after yelling what I said earlier!

Jon's point of view:

I can't believe how Tina and me have good friends; it's like they could give up their lives just for us. I am in my room thinking about what happen the past 5-6 months. But I'm still a bit in pain for not being able to kiss Tina and make out with her. But its life, I can't help it it's just the life. Probably when I'll be in heaven I would be able to do whatever Tina and me want to do.

Chapter 8 - Murder

Simon's point of view:

I am here in my office. It's getting really late maybe I should go home to take some rest after working so hard on the 4th album of S Club 7. I'm still sorry for what I did to Tina and Jon; I really didn't want to ruin their lives but I had to do it. And then I heard someone walking down the hall. I was sitting in my chair when I saw someone familiar pointing me with a gun. Then he shot; everything came black to me. Yeah that's right I was gone forever and I can't come back to reality.

Jon's point of view:

The police think that one of the 7 band members killed our manager. But I don't think so. I don't know who did it; I have no clue who would do such an illegal thing. I know that all of us were menacing to kill Simon but we were not serious about it. But the most shocking in this is that Tina who found him lying on the floor with blood coming out from his body. She said that she screamed so much that she almost fell unconscious. The police had been asking us questions all day. The last person who saw him alive was me, cause I had been talking to him about our new album that is suppose to come out in 2 weeks. After that I left his office, I felt that someone was keeping an eye on me and following me but I didn't know who. Who could it be? It must have been the person who shot Simon. But why would someone follow me?

Chapter 9 - All the members' points of views about what had happened

Jo's point of view:

God, what a day. I'm so shocked about what happened. I have been crying a little cause Simon was the only person who had brought all of us to fame and he had worked so hard to make us happy in the fame. But I know that he didn't mean to ruin Tina and Jon's relationship though; he was a nice person though. I regret all the things I said about him. Though he was still a bit rude to us sometimes. He did hurt everyone; he hurt Hannah & Tina for not having a grateful voice, he's been making them embarrassed in front of few people. But Tina and Hannah have weaker voices, but thank god they know how to sing it's just they had different voice. And Simon also hurt Paul when he said "why are you dating Hannah, c'mon she's not your type she's too wild for you, you need someone better then her". Oh god, when I heard Simon saying that to Paul, I hit him on the face really badly. I couldn't help it; I couldn't control myself that time. And when he also laughed about Bradley cause he's always sleeping. "But it's not new Simon, you are putting pressure on us, it's too much for us and Bradley. That's why he's always sleeping, because he needs rest." That's what I said to him a year ago. And he also criticized Rachel and me about something stupid; he wanted to make us sing more cause we are the most beautiful girls, he thought 3 years ago. I hated what he had told us. Then he laughed at Jon cause he was looking like a girl sometimes. He said "you must be gay if you are always acting like this". This was really unfair for all of us. But today we have forgotten everything that happened. I feel guilty about that before he was shot, I was thinking that he must die. But truth is he really died and it's the reality, no one can change it.

Rachel's point of view:

I'm feeling so sick about how Tina describes when she had seen Simon's body. It makes me want to throw up. I know that I'll be missing Simon a lot. Today we promise ourselves to forget all the bad things he had done and said to us. But how could someone have shot Simon. I'm not suspecting any of us. Cause I know that me and the rest of the band couldn't act bad like what happen last night. There are so many questions in my head; who killed Simon? And why someone has been hating Simon so badly for killing him? Why isn't bodyguards were not watching him last night?

Aaargh, I feel so terrible. And who is going to be our new manager? But right now is not the matter for all of us; we want to know who shot him.

Bradley's point of view:

Man, I'm so tired. I have been almost sick cause Tina saw Simon bloody. Argh, it just makes me want to throw up all day. How can I forget what she said? There are so many questions that run through my mind. I will miss Simon. But what I can't believe is that he's dead for sure; and those 2 days ago we were telling to each other that we wanted him to die and to go to hell. Is that our fault that we have been thinking like this? I hope not. God please forget what we said; it was really bad what we said 2 days ago. As you can see I'm talking to god! The person who killed Simon will have to really pay.

Hannah's point of view:

Oh poor Tina, she said that every time she close her eyes she sees Simon lying on the floor behind his desk. She didn't really have to describe how she had seen him cause I have already pictured it in my head. All of us have been crying all day. We can imagine Simon dead. God how could someone do this to him and to us. There is one and only one question in my head: the person who killed Simon, will that someone will kill us after? I better not think about it cause if I do I'll go completely crazy! But one thing that I have to thank god is; thanks for saving all my best friends, cause Simon was only a manager for us. He was a friend but not our really really best friend though. We had to count on the police to let us know any information about what happened. Why had it happened? Oh please god, help us to get through this. As you can see I was talking to god!

Paul's point of view:

I really don't know how I feel right now. I just want to wake up and just tell that it was just a dream but it's not; its reality. Poor Simon, what do he have to go in heaven being killed by someone. I don't know how we will forget Simon but it will be hard especially for Tina; cause you know she saw him lying dead behind his desk. God it's a real nightmare! I hope that he or she won't kill us now. God if I had to die, I better want to die hungry! But really, what a day. It's 1pm and we can't sleep. Everyone has Simon in their minds. I think that none of us wants to sleep right now. We have 50 bodyguards around the house and even in the house! What a life with a lot of adventures.

Jon's point of view:

Oh man I really don't know what to say. Poor Tina, this is really a big nightmare. I just can't believe that I was the last and the only one who saw Simon before he gets killed. There's so many things going in mind and going around. Now what am I going to do and what are we going to do? We cannot really do something; we can't help the police to find who shot him though. I really want to take Tina in my arms and kiss her and feel her but I can't just because of this stupid contract that we have had to sign.

I know that she needs me and that I need her. But what can I do; I just can go out side and find the contract and break it, can I? No, no way I can't do that! The police are doing their best to search for any prove, any information about what happened.

Tina's point of view:

Aaargh, I don't want to die now! Oh god let me kiss Jon, feel him and do anything I want to do with Jon; but horror, I can't because of the funking contract. How am I going to get through this? The police are still suspecting one of us. But it's completely stupid cause none of us could have killed Simon. I really know everyone and I know that they wouldn't do this even to our enemies! The day passed so slowly; it was raining all day with no sunshine at the horizon. Just what we need! We are all praying that Simon is in a good heaven; he kind of deserved it! It's now 4 in the morning and still nobody is sleeping. We have now a month off for what happened. How can I forget the bloody body of Simon! Argh, oh god, please help me or I'll freak out like I just did last night!

Chapter 10 - Who is it?

***7 months later***

Jon's point of view:

The police now know who did the murder. I'm pretty scared to know cause if its one of us. well just think that is not them. I'm sure that it's not one of the 7 members. The police and other people wants to see us in an hour. I'm pretty nervous too. We're all nervous, especially Tina and me. Who could it be, I can't wait to know.

We're now in the station police.

"Hi S Club, we all know that you can't be the ones who did the murder of mister Simon Fuller," the policeman said, looking at us.

"Okay now the person who did it…is…hum mister Dean Lee. hum… it's your brother Jon, isn't it?" he asked, confused.

"Yeah it's my brother. C'mon I'm sure your doing an error. I couldn't see my brother Dean kill someone. You must be joking right? I ask confused.

"No Jon, he's our murderer who did that crime. We will have to arrest him today. He also confesses to killing Simon. Here there's letter that explain why he did this murder. You guys can all read it" he said, giving us the letter.

The letter said:

Dear S Club.
Yes it's me who did the murder. I did it cause Simon ruined your Jon and Tina. He deserves this lesson. I really love you brother Jon and you will always be a part of me cause you really helped me during my life. I know I'm just 18 years old, but I did it for you and Tina. Simon was a fucking elliete. I was in London, and then I was in your manager office when I heard him about the contract. I was so horribly shocked how someone could be so rude, and then I heard Tina and you crying and the others all wanted to kill Simon but I know that they will not do it for real, but thank god there were me. I did it. I know I probably sound like a crazy person; but I'm still the same person that you've always known since you were born Jon. You know, you probably didn't think this but it was hard to do what I did. Almost even harder than to kill yourself! I know that I will be arrested and be behind the bars. But I know in my heart that I did it for you and for the others too. That's why that I'm not scared anymore for being arrested. I did kill Simon, but I'm proud of myself too; I'm also proud of all you guys. You're the best friends that I have ever had in my life.

I love you Jon.
From your brother Dean Lee.

Lots of love for all you guys and I mean it!
See ya!!!

We all have tears coming down from our eyes. That was the most emotional moment i ever had in my life. Poor Dean he did it because he loves me really like a brother and a best friend. It makes me hurt to know that I now lost him. He'll go behind the bars in an hour. I do love him too but to kill someone; it's horrible! How could my brother have done that? Well I have every explanation in this letter and I'm going to keep it for the rest of my life.

We finally found a new manager. Her name is Kim Fuller. Yeah as you can see it's the sister of Simon! She let us have relationships in the band, man that's fantastic; she's really a good boss. She doesn't criticize anyone, she respects everyone, and she is totally a manager that everyone would want to have to guide you in the fame.

Chapter 11 - Back together

***1 year later***

Tina's point of view:

Once again lying on the beach. It's now 9 in the evening. Once again, everyone is in the S Club house celebrating the wedding of Jo & Lee. It's been a fantastic night but they're still partying all night. And once again I heard a sound coming closer and closer to me.

"Hi, not enjoying the night?" someone asks.

I soon recognized that someone's voice.

"Hi Jon, no I'm just thinking about everything" I said smiling at him.

"Oh I see, so what's wrong Teen?" he asks, confused and sitting right next to me.

"Well nothing is going wrong Jonny boy. I'm just relaxing on the beach" I said, looking deep in his eyes.

I think I'm falling in love with Jon again. Cause a year ago we couldn't go out and after we begin to be just friends after we didn't fall for each other.

"So everything is going normally for you?" he asks, looking in my eyes.

"Yep, everything is right, just one thing" I said leaning closer to him.

"What Tina?" he asks, looking deeply in my eyes.

"This" I said.

I lean and kiss him passionately. It seems forever for us. Jon returns the kiss. We didn't want to end up the kiss.

"Tina I love you," he whispered in my ear.

"I love you too Jon" I said touching his soft lips.

We begin to kiss. And we sleep together. It was the most beautiful night that I have ever had before in my life. I so love him and he loves me so much.

***1 year later***

Jon's point of view:

We're finally happy together. We're married. Everything came so quickly, came so perfect in every way for the others and us. It's cool to have someone by your side wherever you go. I love Tina for all of my heart. There ain't nobody who can love me like Tina loves me. And there ain't nobody who can love her as I love Tina.

Chapter 12 - How everyone thinks

Jo's point of view:

I'm finally really happy for everything. I'm so happy for Jon & Tina. The life is now full of love and faith and trust too. We are all best friends in this band and no one can ruin it. The truth is that Tina & Jon will be friends, best friends and lovers. It's the same things for me and Lee, for Bradley and Rachel and for Hannah and Paul. Everything is going well in S Club 7 too. We made a lot of hits in Canada, the US, the UK and the rest of the world. We're known as a band "worldwide". God, thanks for giving us peace for the rest of our lives.

Rachel's point of view:

I'm so in peace right now; everything is going so fine and nothing can destroy it. But I also cannot imagine what happened last year; c'mon man Simon dead! It's almost impossible but he's dead and we can't take him back in life. But now I'm feeling better cause everything is in place; we got a new manager, Tina & Jon are married, we found who killed Simon, and we have been a worldwide band! Cool isn't it? Yes but we won't split up right now cause we are so together the others and me. Now it's time for me to go back in the studio to work on our new album.

Bradley's point of view:

Man I have to tell you this; I'm in heaven! Oh god, everything is working fine for us, we couldn't ask more than this. We just made a new single called "Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You" and after this one it could be "Straight From The Heart" and "Who Do You Think You Are". There are so many things I could explain and tell but it would take me all day! I don't know what to say anymore but I will say: god thanks for giving us strength in our souls.

Hannah's point of view:

All I think of is that I'm so in touch with everyone in the band. I thank god for giving me the best friends in the world; oh I think I'm going to cry! We're so amazed about the hard work we've done this year. We all forgot what happened last year cause we're moving on; we don't live in the past but in the present. All I know is that we're always going to be good friends for the rest of our lives.

Paul's point of view

Man, last year I was completely messed up cause of what happened a year ago. But now I'm on the right track. I wanted to tell something important to the others; this is what I wanted to say: I want to leave the band. But now I want to stay in the band cause they all passed through hard moment and I think it's too soon to tell them. But I will leave the band in probably in 2 years. But now I'm not thinking about it, cause I think about the future of S Club and right now it's going so well, so I won't destroy it right now. We're at the studio practicing new dance routines and songs. S Club is my life and it'll always be.

Jon's point of view:

I'm so happy for what is happening right now: we have won 5 nominations, we are known worldwide, and the last single was a fantastic hit around the world and lots more! It's very hard to believe what god has plans for us right now, but yeah we are a huge hit; we are amazed about all the things we did this year. I couldn't ask better! There are still plenty of things I want to do right now but I guess I'll have to wait a bit more. Oh and Tina is so lovely and sexy!

Tina's point of view:

Oh I so love Jon; he's the sweetest guy I ever met in my life! I knew that Jon and me would make a couple one day, but it did and we're married too! We all know that S Club could be together for over 10 years! But we wish we could be together for 10 years; it would be great! We have a lot of things to do this year; we have to record our new album, new singles, new TV series and maybe a new film! That would be so much fun, man! I couldn't ask for a better year!

Chapter 13 - Best band

Hannah's point of view:

We are suppose to go on stage in 5 minutes to sing Don't Stop Movin'. I can't wait but I'm nervous too. Oh god here we go, I have to go on stage!

The announcer: Welcome S Club 7!

They began to sing Don't Stop Movin':

Don't stop movin can you feel the music,
Dj's got us goin' around, round
Don't stop movin find your own way to it
Listen to the music
Taking you to places that you never been before baby now

***S Club is still on stage for waiting what they will win***

The announcer: Okay, the best band in the world is... ahahah S Club 7!!!

*** The end***
