Chapter 30...........................Or is it?

Lacey's POV

I woke up with a start, bolting upright in my bed. My breathing began to even out as I took in my surroundings. I was in my old room, in my old house back in Scotland. The posters of One Direction were hanging on my walls, just as I had left them that one morning I set off to London. Wait, London. That's where I live! Not here, anymore! What happened? Some memories of earlier today came back to me, but I wasn't sure if they were real or not. A fuzzy memory of me, mum and dad watching X Factor, cheering as James won. Wait, James?! I thought I won! What's going on?

 I looked at my clock, in the shape of a rocket. It was 22:34. The date read 23 December 2012. Okay, hold up! It's 2013! I went downstairs and into the kitchen, where my mum and dad were having a cup of tea and reading the newspaper, or a book. "Mum? Dad?" I asked, as they looked up and smiled. "Yea, honey?" My mum asked, sipping her tea. "I was just wondering," I began, "What happened to my house in London?"

The looked at me strangely before chuckling a little, "Whatever do you mean, Lace?" My dad questioned, "You've never owned a house in London. Although you have been badgering us about it ever since we watched X Factor. speaking of which, do you still want to audition next year?" He finished off and looked at me expectantly. My breath caught in my throat. "What do you mean? I auditioned, and won, this year!" I was becoming a bit paranoid. I was sure I auditioned! Or.....was I?

"Honey, James Arthur won. That's what made you want to audition." My mother looked at me, worriedly. "Why don't you go up to bed? You're obviously tired." She gae me a peck on the forehead and turned back to her book. Tears began to fill my eyes as I ran up the stairs. I slammed my bedroom door shut and collapsed on the bed.

It was all a dream...
