//chloe's pov//

My eyes fluttered open as I laid in my bed. I sat up and looked around my dim bedroom. I noticed a bit of red floof next to my nightstand, seemingly moving.

I stuck my head a bit past Mark's hair and said, "Hey there," literally making him hit his head on my nightstand.

I started laughing really hard as he started laughing too and soon enough we were just like normal, two hysterical nerds.

I grabbed my glasses and put them on, getting out of my bed and sitting down beside Mark.

"Why were you stalking me, creep?" I asked him.

"I was waiting for you to wake up so you and I could get ready for PAX." He replied.

"Shit, I forgot about PAX."

He chuckled, and stood up, flashing me a grin before shutting the door, letting me pack.

I was excited to go, considering I was going to be on a couple of panels with Mark, Jack and Wade.

I finished packing pretty quickly as adrenaline was coursing through my veins, sending me into straight overdrive.

I took my suitcase and held it over my head as I ran from my bedroom and down the stairs. I was greeted by Mark, also packed, and we made our way out of the house, to the car.

I was missing Matt, Ryan and the pets already, but the feeling subsided soon enough.

We put our stuff in the car and got in.

I buckled and Mark smiled at me before starting the car and backing out of the driveway.

"So, are you excited?" He asked.

"Very. But since you guys are doing a card game, is it okay if I just sit next to Wade and doodle?" I asked.

Mark nodded, keeping his eyes on the road.

I sighed and sank back in my seat, and everything got dark around me.

//dream//

I couldn't breathe, couldn't speak. I lay on a bed, motionless. I saw myself from high above, and... the guys. Crying. I tried to reach for them, but I couldn't move. I heard a familiar voice call out my name. "Chloe..." It sounded like the voice of Daniel. I turned my head, and almost started crying. It was Daniel.

//end of dream. How'd you guys like that? It's a sneak peek for next chapter! edit 11/20/16 no it fucking wasnt lmao//

I woke up to Mark nudging me, asking me if I was okay. It seemed like he was worried.

I told him I was fine, but realized I had sweat collecting on my forehead. We had arrived at the airport. We got out of the car, and grabbed our stuff.

We had boarded the plane and Mark poked me as we were getting seated.

"You know Jack and Wade don't know you're coming, right?" Mark asked me and I nodded.

I thought it was kind of funny that Mark wasn't even telling them. He had said that I was staying home because I was sick, and that I couldn't say anything on social media.

I felt myself drift off and into a light nap before getting awoken by Mark.

"Hey, do you want to watch a movie?" he asked.

I said sure, and he soon picked out a movie. I didn't get a chance to see what movie it was though, as I had fallen asleep before he even turned it on.

It hadn't felt like any time had gone by, but soon Mark woke me up and told me our plane had landed.

We got off the plane and went to the baggage claim to get our bags.

We found some seats and waited for Wade to pick us up.

Mark's phone went off and he checked it.

"Wade said he's headed this way. Remember the plan?" Mark asked me.

I nodded and we got ready. The plan was for me to hide behind Mark and peek over his shoulder a bit when he scratched his ear. On the last time, he would snap behind his back and I would jump out and scare Wade. It was perfect.

Wade approached us and I quickly jumped behind Mark. After they talked for a bit, Mark scratched his ear and I slightly peeked over his shoulder and came back down. We did it a few times, but Wade never seemed to notice.

Finally, Mark snapped his finger behind his back. I crouched down and jumped to the side, crossing my arms and saying, "Sup."

Wade jumped, but his expression quickly went from scared to happy as he saw me.

"Chloe! I thought you were sick!" He exclaimed, coming up to hug me. I laughed and we made our way out of the airport and to Wade's rental car. We arrived at the hotel shortly after.

We had gotten 2 connected rooms. Wade and Jack would share one, and Mark and I would share the other.

Wade gave us the two cards for our room and we walked in. It was pretty damn nice for a hotel. We set up some of our stuff and just relaxed.

After a while I heard a certain Irish accent in the other room and smiled as the door opened. "Hey Mark!" Jack said, and his eyes hovered over to me. His face lit up with excitement as he realized I wasn't deathly ill.

"Yo." I said as he walked towards me, but stopped.

"Are you sick, or..?" He asked. I shook my head and he hugged me and sat on my bed, behind my open laptop.

"So, whatcha doin'?" he asked.

I turned around my laptop so he could see the screen. Of course.. I was on.. I was on, um.. fuck it, I was on 4chan. He smirked and went back to his and Wade's room.

//mark's pov (omg its mark1!11!!!1!(also time skip to that night :P))//

It was around 1am and I was the only one still awake. Well, Chloe too, but she was trying to sleep.

I, on the other hand, was just not tired. I aimlessly stared at the TV with Chloe, watching the movie displayed on the screen.

I finally felt my eyelids fall and soon I fell asleep.
