I haven't got very far -- just started on chapter four recently. I am sorry if it's not as good as you're hoping, but I'm pleased with how its turning out. My story is my own work, I don't own any of the sites mentioned.
This is a fan-fiction I have been working on for a little while now.
Yes, its a John Barrowman story, in case you hadn't realised.
Feel free to leave me comments.
If you like it so far and would like me to continue to post it, then please let me know.

Strolling on the shop floor, checking for empty shelves, Sarah was called to the Customer Service desk by Kirsty. 'Hey Sarah. Are you looking forward to the signing on Friday?' Kirsty asked, tidying the desk of the clutter from the person there before her. 'You know, you'd think whoever was here last would tidy up after themselves. I think it was Sam, he's always leaving a trail of mess wherever he goes.' Kirsty frowned putting the paper in the bin under the desk.
'I'm excited and nervous at the same time.. But, I'm sure it'll be OK. I guess I'll only know when I get there. I just hope he's as nice in real life as he is on the TV, he seems like he may be.' Sarah smiled. She'd never met him before, but was really looking forward to it. Her first ever book signing and it was meeting her favourite TV personality. She had in mind what she was going to wear to the signing so that he'd notice her. A few weeks previous, she'd bought a hoodie off eBay that had 'Mrs John Barrowman' written on it. She was hoping that would get a reaction from him.
'How's your friend Alan, have you heard from him recently?' Kirsty asked wiping the work top with a spray bottle and a dust cloth. 'No, I think he's busy with his kennel work, will probably have a text or something from him over the weekend.' Sarah replied. 'Right, I better get back to work, only got an hour left of my shift. If I don't see you before I clock off, I'll see you in the morning.' She continued walking off up the fresh fruit and vegetables aisle and disappearing into the stock room at the back of the store.
Standing in the store room, looking around for the next job to do, the visions of what might happen on Friday were dancing around in her head. 'What if I make a fool of myself?' She thought to herself. 'Thinking about Friday?' Came a voice from the store room door. 'Oh my god, Karl, don't do that, you scared the hell out of me!' Sarah jumped. 'Oh sorry, I do apologise. Didn't mean to scare you.' Karl smiled pulling out the food trolley which was filled with fresh produce.

Packing up the car Thursday afternoon, Sarah was getting ready to leave for Cardiff for the signing Friday afternoon. Travel lodge close to the location was booked, she was going to spend the night there. She was getting nervous about meeting him, chatting with him and generally being near him. She'd never met him before, so she was understandably nervous.
In the car, she'd packed her over night bag and her laptop. She was going to make sure she'd packed her new hoodie for the signing. She was determined to get a reaction from him about the hoodie, she wanted to try and make him laugh if she could. She sat in the car for a few moments and turned on the engine, set the sat nav to the travel lodge, ready for the off. Put on a CD in the CD Player and took off down the high street towards the motorway.
Pulling onto the motorway, the road was quiet, the only cars on the motorway was the odd lorry driver, roadside recovery and white van driver. Playing through the speakers of the CD Player in the car was 'Side Of A Bullet by Nickelback'. Turning up the volume a little more, Sarah sat grinning at the prospect of finally being able to attend a celebrity event. She'd waited for months to be able to attend an event like this, she was really excited.
Two hours later, she arrived at the travel lodge and checked herself in to her room she'd booked. The weather outside was cold, but the sun was shining. It was time to get something to eat and have a drink. Throwing her bag down on the bed, Sarah's phone bleeped, it was Kirsty;
'Hey babe, hope I've not caught you driving. If I have text me when you stop. Anyway.. Just making sure you're OK, flat is quiet here without you, Adams on a late tonight, so I'm in the flat on my own, bored out of my brain. Speak to you later. Kirsty'
Sarah decided to leave it awhile before she texted her back, she was hungry and wanted something to eat. After getting her food, she sat down at an empty table and began to tuck into her meal. She finally decided to text Kirsty back;
'Hey! Sorry I've taken awhile to reply to you, was hungry so I wanted to get something to eat. Sorry you're home alone tonight, didn't know Adam was working late this evening. Why not order a take away and watch a movie or something, have a relaxing evening. You've been working hard all week, have a quiet night and relax. Sarah'
Making her way back across the car park to the hotel where she was staying, she saw a black BMW sports saloon park up outside. Standing and watching the car for a few moments, a tall, dark haired, well built man stepped out of the passenger seat and closed the door behind him. Watching him walk into the building, she couldn't put a name to the face, it was really annoying her.. Then she realised.. A feeling of being star stuck hit her, like a slap in the face.. Running across the car park towards the hotel, she felt a sense of pleasure wash over her. She'd seen him!
Standing in the entrance to the hotel, Sarah stopped and pressed the button for the lift, her room was on the 2nd floor. Standing in the lift as it ascended upwards, she texted Alan, who she was hoping would be home from work:
'Hey honey, just making sure you're OK. Haven't heard from you in a few days, you haven't fallen out with me, have you? Just had the most star stuck thing happen to me!!'
Alan replied:
'Hey! No, I haven't fallen out with you, why would I? Why, what happened?
Sarah replied:
'I was coming across the car park from where I was having a bite to eat and a car pulled up.. At first I couldn't work out who it was, I recognised the face, but it wasn't registering.. Then, I realised... I'd just caught a glimpse of John before he went inside. I couldn't believe it!!'
That night, whilst lying in bed using her laptop, the street outside was dark and and quiet. The only sound she could hear were cars on the motorway, not to far from the hotel. She felt cold and alone. It was a year now since she'd split from her boyfriend and was still coming to terms with how things ended. How could someone be as nasty as that?! Why treat someone, you preport to love so nicely and then suddenly turn on them? He was a nasty, vile, hurtful man, who caused her nothing but misery and grief. She knew she was better off without him.
Andy Sailcombe was a vile, disgusting, cold hearted man. Sarah was with this guy for 2 and a half years and he did nothing but upset her, disrespect her and was down right nasty to her. And all she ever did was love him. Andy was hated by everyone she knew, they told her he was no good for her, a scum bag. She didn't listen. Now she knows why they said what they did.. To protect her and she didn't listen. But she knew that now and she wasn't ever going to let him back into her life, ever again.
She finally had her life back on track and was a lot more happy about life. Work was finally good again and she had her family and friends for support. She knew one day, she'll find the man of her dreams and be happy again. That's all she ever wanted, was to be loved for who she was and respecting her for what she believed in. One day, her dream to be happy, will come true..
To Be Continued.. This is a fan-fiction I have been working on for a little while now.
Yes, its a John Barrowman story, in case you hadn't realised.

'Sarah, you're down for Saturday morning, 6am - 8am and 12 - 4pm. I'll give you next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon off, if you work Kirsty's Thursday morning 9am - 1pm shift.' Mark replied looking up at the rota. 'Sure, I can do that.' She smiled looking at the date on the calender. Sarah had managed to get Friday, Saturday and Sunday that week off work. She was due to attend a DVD signing in Cardiff on Friday afternoon with her idol and favourite TV personality, John Barrowman. She wanted to get there early so she could get a good spot in the Queue.
Strolling on the shop floor, checking for empty shelves, Sarah was called to the Customer Service desk by Kirsty. 'Hey Sarah. Are you looking forward to the signing on Friday?'
