Dedication: ludicluke. Thank you. (:
I'm doing dedications now. How my dedications work is usually I'll give one to whoever has the most comments for the previous chapter, a nice comment, or a funny comment.
Here you go, finally.

I smile weakly at my mom, who's at the table reading a book.
Ever since I got back - technically I never left, but it feels like it - I've been waiting for Luke to do something to show me that it wasn't just a dream. Hell, if any of the boys sent me a sign, I would jump at it.
"Is everything okay, sweetie?" my mom asks, making me look up from tracing the floral patterns on my phone case.
"Yeah," I answer. "Why do you ask?"
"You've just seemed out of it lately. For almost a month, now."
Twenty-six days ago, I woke up from my dream.
"Oh. Well, I'm fine."
She nods and smiles. "Okay."
I stand from my seat at the table and walk upstairs to my room, glancing at one of the posters on my wall.
Though it may seem creepy, I use my right pointer finger to trace over Luke's face on the poster, ignoring the other boys at the moment. Even though I like them a lot (not, like, sexually though. Just friendly), Luke will always be my number one.
"I hope I'll see you soon," I say, even though he obviously can't hear me.
There's a ding from my phone, so I unlock it and look at who messaged me on Twitter.
I sigh when I see that it's just my best friend, Amelia, and that it wasn't a message, it was a post with me tagged in it. I always hope that one of the boys will find me on Twitter, but they have yet to. Almost every time I tweet something, I tag the 5sos account or one of the boys in it, but they haven't seen any of my posts, as far as I know.
"Hey," my mom says, standing in my doorway. "I'm going to go to Lee Ann's house for a while." Lee Ann is her best friend.
I nod, and she gives me a smile before heading back downstairs.
I'm already sad enough thinking about Luke, so I walk over to my desk and sit down in the chair at it, then open up my laptop, type in my password, and go to Word. I've been writing a book to keep my mind off of the boys, and it helps, even though it has the boys in it.
It's about my dream, and the main characters names are Xen (me), Athena (Nyx), Liam (Luke), Caleb (Calum), Matthew (Michael), and Andrew (Ashton). I haven't written about any of the other important characters yet.
Oh, about Nyx. She doesn't live in Georgia, where I do, but she lives in North Carolina. We found each other pretty quickly through Twitter, and we talk a lot. At first, I didn't really believe that other people had had the same dream I did, even though when I talked to Andy on the phone when I woke up after my dream he said they had, but as soon as I found Nyx, she asked me if I had had the dream.
About a day after the dream, Luke tweeted something like how he and his bandmates all had the same weird crazy dream, and that makes me think that maybe they don't believe that Nyx and I are real. Nyx is pretty torn up about how Ashton is dating Bryana, so maybe they don't think we're real. Maybe they never contacted Andy or Ronnie. I try not to think about it.
My doorbell rings, so I stop tying and quickly make my way downstairs and open the front door.
"Oh," I say when I see who's smiling down at me. "Hey, Alex."
