Times running out (a Bret Von Dehl love story)

Chapter 10

I woke up, expecting to be in Bret's arms, but realizing that I was actually in my own bunk in my bus.

"DAMMIT IT WAS A DREAM!" I yelled.

My sudden outburst woke Daka up, and she hit her head full force against the ceiling.

That's EXACTLY why I didn't want the top bunk.

"Sorry." I cringed.

I thought about my dream and how real it had felt.

I knew I had only known Bret for about two weeks now, and I knew that amount of time was not enough to fall in love, but I really felt like I was falling for him.

He was the kind of person I could fall in love with eventually, just... not yet.

Skye looked at me with a smile from the kitchen table, she sipped her coffee and said,

"So I just got a text from Wednesday."

I cocked my head.

"Yeah? What does it say?"

She read the text over.

"Oh, The Relapse Symphony wants us to come over. JC told her."

I nodded.

"Cool."

I pushed Kat out of bed, to which she replied;
"HISSSSSSHCUDBEUWBSUCYDHEEY"
Followed by lots of arm flailing and slashing.

Naomi woke up on her own due to the noise Kat had made, and Daka was already awake and still rubbing her head.

We ran to the TRS bus and I saw Bret.

My heart was pounding in my ears, so this was what it was like to freak over your crush.

He was drinking a cup of coffee and he was wearing plaid pyjama bottoms with the literal same Ramones shirt I had seen in my dream.

He waved lightly as we walked in.

"Good morning!" He smiled lightly.

Alex and Ray were on the couch.

"So we have some news." said JC, who had Wednesday piggybacking him.

Naomi was looking at Bret funny and he was avoiding her gaze.

"What is it?" I asked excitedly.

Naomi was clearly confused.

"Soooo we were wondering if you guys wanted to go on tour with us... Black veil Brides too." said Ray quietly. I think he was looking at Skye.

Naomi's eyes widened and she gave me a pleading look to which I payed no mind.

"YES!" I exclaimed, this was just like my dream minus PTV!

"OHMYGOSH YAYAYAYAYAYAY!" Dakota paraded around.

Kat cracked a smile, which was good.

Skye grinned and said, "That sounds like fun."

Naomi looked distraught. "we don't know you people."

I sighed deeply. "Raise your hand if you know the relapse symphony."

Everyone in the room raised their hand (TRS included) aside from Naomi.

"Someone better ex-fucking-plain." said Naomi.

"Okay... for 2 years now I've liked the relapse symphony but I don't tell you cos I knew Bret was your ex. When Daka told me about warped and we found out the relapse symphony would be there, I didn't want you to tell us you wouldn't go, so we kept them from you. I started hanging out with Bret and now we're like best friends and so in turn we know the guys." I exhaled quickly. "so that's the story."
