After our last performance in Las Vegas, before we're off to Hollywood, California, where we'll be spending two week, and preforming while we're there.

Josh and I were sitting next to each other on the plane, watching a recorded version of Wicked we found on YouTube.

Ben definitely wasn't the happiest about this, but I told him to suck it up, and he did.

The plane finally landed in California, and off we rode together on a bus to our hotel. It was much nicer than our old hotel, probably because it's in Hollywood.

The bus ride wasn't too long, but long enough for me to fall asleep. I was lucky enough to be the only person to have a seat to themselves.

I closed my eyes, and drifted off into what was supposed to be a peaceful sleep.

I fell with a loud thud. I looked around, my arm went numb. I saw Ben, coming to get me. He's coming to get me. And everything's okay.

I saw him... with... another girl? It's fine, everything fine. I'm fine.

"Spencer? Are you okay?" He asked. I nod slightly, wincing in pain.

"I'm going to call 9-1-1. Babe, can you do that for me? Spencer's... an old friend." He says. She nods and walks away. I close my eyes, while I lay on my back. My face, facing the sky. The beautiful sky.

Think about the clouds. How fluffy they are. The blue sky. Just as blue as Ben's.

"What happened?" He asked.

"I-I don't know..." I whisper, barely loud enough for him to hear. He nods in response.

"Babe!" He called to the girl. "Tell them to hurry. I think she's losing consciousness..." he says, before little black dots covered my vision, and everything went black.

I slowly opened my eyes. Ben was sitting next to me. Everything is how it was before I went to sleep. It was just a dream. But why was he with another girl? What happened to us? I couldn't get a good look at the girl, other than that she was blonde.

"You okay?" Ben asks. I nod slowly in response.  It doesn't make since anymore. It's fine. It was just a dream. And everything's okay. But since when was he next to me?

The bus came to a halt, and we all crammed out of the bus after an hour long drive. I took in a breath of the new air. Much fresher than New York, and a little less crowded than Vegas.

We all took a few moments to stretch and make sure we were all awake. *cough* Josh *cough*.

I looked around, the buildings are tall and some are colorful. We walk into the hotel and check in. We are assigned a room partner, based on who we share dressing rooms with, so I share with Mellisa now.

We both chose our own beds, me getting the one closest to the window. The room had carpet floors, as a hotel usually does. It was a deep red, almost like in a theater. Mellisa didn't want the bed closest to the window, so it worked out that I did.

We split the drawers down the middle so we each get exactly half of the drawers. Well, more like to the best of our ability.

After I finished putting my clothes away, and refreshing my makeup a little, I let Mellisa know I'm going for a walk, grabbed a key, my phone, my wallet, and a small charger and shoved them into my small handbag.

I walked out of the hotel room, and hurried outside. I saw a book store on the way to the hotel, so I decided to check that out.

I gently opened the door, causing a small bell to ring. My lungs were filled with the scent of books. My favorite smell as well. I quietly walked around and started looking.

The first book that popped out at me was in the murder-mystery section. "The Naturals". Sounds interesting. Why not!?

I gently grabbed the book and read the back. It definitely intrigued me. I carefully held it in my arms, and continued walking around, a couple of other books popping out to me, which of course I grabbed.

"Find everything you hoped to, today?" The lady at the counter asked, gently putting her putting her bookmark in her book and setting it down.

"Actually, I did." I say smiling. She smiled, and carefully scanned the books.

"27 dollars and 89 cents." She says. I nod, handing her a 20 dollar bill, a 5 dollar bill, and 3 one's.

"Have a good day." She says smiling, handing me a bag filled with the books.

"Thank you!" I say smiling, and definitely not pulling a push door.

———

"There you are!" Sky said loudly, engulfing me in a hug.

"Mhm? Mellisa didn't tell you where I was?" I ask. I hear her laugh from behind Ben as Sky lets me go, and changes positions with Josh.

"I figured you'd want to be left alone for a bit." She said smiling.

"Thanks!" I say, as Josh lets me go. Ben stands up and quickly pecks me on the lips. Before walking out of the room.

"Where's he off to?" I ask. Josh and Sky shrug, while Mellisa looks deep in thought. I shrug and let it be for now.

IMPORTANT!!!
