"C'mon Niall!" I groaned. "We need to do this!"

"I don't get why I need to do this too, it's 2 am for fucks sake..." He curses and groans annoyingly.

"Because you were in my dream too, of course."

We we're on our way into the small city of Holmes Chapel. It wasn't a long walk, no more than 10 minutes at most and I was dragging a tired, groaning Niall behind me. He wasn't exactly happy for waking him up in the middle of the night, especially not on a school night, but I know he would do anything for me when it's about my dreams. Last time he didn't join me when he should have I didn't talk, eat or sleep the whole night or the day after because I was anxious for not doing what I was supposed to do. That incident scared him and now he's agreeing to everything I'm asking him to. Which I'm highly grateful for.

"I don't see the purpose of putting soap in the fountain and then bath in it at 2 am, honestly." He sighed but now started to jog after me instead of me dragging his arm.

When we finally arrived at the fountain I took the little bag I had with me off my shoulder and took the soap out of the bag, put it down on the ground along with the bag as I took off the hoodie I had on.

The cold September breeze made the hair on my arms an legs rise since I now only had shorts on and nothing on my upper body.

"Ready?" I asked Niall with a grin as I glanced in his direction, seeing him, just like me, in only shorts.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I guess." He sighed.

"Lets go then!"

I took the soap and squirted most of it in the fountain. After exactly 6 minutes and 23 seconds the fountain was full of bubbles and I actually squealed excitedly. This must be one of the funniest things I've done in a while.

I took a big jump into the fountain making the water splash around me. The water was cold against my skin, but I enjoyed it. I loved the cold.

A few seconds later I hear another splash that means Niall jumped in after me. I sat down in the ground water, the high bubbles hiding most of me, just a little bit of hair showing through.

I started laughing loudly getting bubbles in my mouth and nose making me slightly choke and standing up abruptly still laughing, seeing Niall laughing at me. "You fool!"

We start splashing around talking and laughing loudly in maybe thirty minutes until we're starting to hear sirens. We immediately stop what we're doing wide eyed, looking at each other. Then we run.

We run fast, grabbing our clothes and the bag on the run and run as fast as we can all the way home.

When we was outside Niall's house we finally stopped running, breathing heavily and laughing quietly.

"Thanks for coming with me Niall." I smiled gratefully when we finally stopped panting.

"Of course I'll come with you." He smiled back and then we hugged hard. "It's actually quite fun and adventurous. I like it." He pulled back and ruffled my hair.

"Goodnight again, see you in the morning." I smiled and started to walk home again.

When I sat down in the kitchen a few hours later eating some coco pops my mom comes into the kitchen with a news paper in her hand, throwing it on the table right in front of my eyes.

SOAP FOUNTAIN

Under the title was a text about how someone had squirted a bottle of soap in the fountains and two supposedly boys had been seen running away from it when the police had arrived.

I looked up innocently at mom with an apologizing smile.

"Harry, this can't keep going on. What will happen if you'd dream about killing another person?" She sighed disappointed.

I pouted my lips slightly. "You know I had to do it."

"Maybe you should see a therapist again? One that will help you come over this habit of yours and not saying that 'this will stop in a few years'" She sat down in the chair in front of me.

I put the spoon I was holding mid air back in the bowl and leaned back against my chair. "No mom, I don't want that." I sighed.

"Go to school, we'll talk about it when you're home again." She dismissed me and I nodded, stood up and slung my bad over my shoulder, heavy with schoolbooks, and started walking toward Niall's house to meet him up.

He only lived 4 houses from mine and when I arrived outside his house Niall came running out of his door waving happily.

"You don't seem very tired like I thought you would be after tonight's events..." I said sceptically.

"Had a few cup of coffee this morning. Maybe a few too many." He jumped slightly wher he walked, eyes wide.

"Exactly how many did you have?"

"Four. Maybe five. Or Six. Don't really remember."

"Oh Niall, dear." I chuckled at my idiotic friend. "In a few hours you'll be asleep then."

He waved me off with a laugh, knowing it's true but not admitting to it.

School was like always. The corridor full of people. A couple or two making out against the lockers and students rushing to get to their classes in time even if it's good ten minutes until the first class starts.

It's Tuesday morning, which mean I've got religion, sigh. Unfortunately Chubby Charlie is in that class, and he likes teasing me for me dream-doing and for being openly gay. Most people don't really mind gay people in my school, besides him. He's the only one who really teases me openly. Other who don't like it at least keep quiet about it, but Chubby Charlie wants attention from people and his way of doing so is by being a bully to people. I don't really care for him. He tries to hard and has no one to back him up so when he does say something rude, it usually ends with him pouting in his chair because of my friends saying something rude back and he just can't take it. He's sensitive.

Today was no exception.

"Hey faggot guess it was you and that blonde bimbo-friend of yours who did that crazy ass shit in the fountain tonight because your dream told you to, am I right?" He said when I walked into the class, probably expecting people to laugh at me for doing something stupid and for being a faggot. But most people just rolled their eyes at him and other glared at him annoyingly for being so loud.

"That was pretty awesome actually." I guy in the back I don't remember the name of, Rick maybe, said. Some people agreed with hums and other stayed out of the argument.

Chubby Charlie huffed for people being on my side and I smiled in triumph as he sat down and pouted, just like I expected him to.

A second later the teacher arrived and the school day was officially started.
