Backstage at the Pop Idol Studio...
Will: Hey Gareth, you were really good today.
Gareth: Thanx mate, so were you.
Will: Thanx. Gareth, can I ask you something?
Gareth: Yeah sure...(Just then his Girlfriend Joanne walks in) Oh hey Jo!
Joanne: Hey babe, you ready?
Gareth: Yeah just a sec, Will, what did you want to ask me?
Will: Never mind, I forgot now.
Gareth: Okay, well, see ya tomorrow.
Will: Yeah. Bye. (Gareth Leaves, and Zoe walks over)
Zoe: Have you told Gareth yet? That you...you know...
Will: Love him? I can't, I know he will go mental. He has a girlfriend.
Zoe: So what? You never know, he might feel the same...(Goes)
The next day...
Will: Hey Gareth, I need to talk to you, it's really important.
Gareth: Okay. (They go into Will's dressing room) What is it?
Will: Well, I already told you that I am gay, but I didn't tell you the whole story. I am gay, and I, I...
Gareth: What? You what?
Will: I think I'm in love with...with you.
Gareth: You...you...(Stops and takes a breath) You are joking, right?
Will: No, I'm not. But I need to know if you feel the same.
Gareth: Now you must be joking. I have a girlfriend for God Sake. Are you nuts? I am not gay, I never have been and never will be. I suppose this isn't a good time to tell you that me and Jo are engaged.
Will: I knew this was a bad idea. I don't think I can stay here like this. I am gonna drop out of Pop Idol.
Gareth: Whoa, wait, there's no need to do that.
Will: Well, maybe I want to. (Storms out of room and goes to see simon Cowell)
Simon: Hey Will, what can I do for ya?
Will: I want to drop out.
Simon: sorry?
Will: I told Gareth I was in love with him and he got upset and said he didn't feel the same, and I feel to upset, rejected, and embaressed to carry on working with him.
Simon: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but are you sure this is the right decision?
Will: I am certain. (Leaves)
On the next Pop Idol, Korben and Gareth wait in anticipation to see who wins pop idol...
Ant: And the winner...
Dec: Of Pop Idol 2002 is...
Ant/Dec: Gareth Gates!
Gareth: Oh my god! (Joanne gets from her seat and rushes onto stage and hugs him)
Joanne: I knew you'd do it!
Gareth: This is amazing. Thank you everyone that voted for me, this is for you. (Sits at piano, and plays, singing unchained melody)
Will: (at home in front of T.V) *sighs* That could have been me...
