I was in between that sleeping state. You know that place in between being asleep and being awake. Basically sleep paralysis. if you're dreaming and you dream about running but you don't actually run? That part of your body shuts off. Right now I'm in the state of my mind waking up before that part of my body. I can hear but I can't move. I can hear Dylan talking in the phone. And i think he's talking about me.

Eventually I had fully woken up to the other side of my bed empty and cold. I could hear the clashing of metal against metal in the kitchen.

I got up slowly not wanting to leave the warm comfort of my bed. I grabbed a hoodie laying on my desk chair and walked out of my room. Dylan making coffee and tea with some simple cinnamon toast.

I snuck up behind him wrapping my arms around his shoulders gently being sure not to startle him. "Good morning" I whispered softly in his ear still having that bit of sleep in my voice.

Dylan turned around in my arms to face me but out his hands in my waist and keeping my arms around him "morning" he brought me into an embrace and stayed like that for a good amount of time until he sat me down and sat next to me placing a cup of tea in front of me.

I was weird for putting milk or half&half in my tea and putting sugar instead of honey but for some reason he made it that way. He knew.

It was probably one of the midnight half asleep conversations, he said once he Cherished them the most, remembered every detail. I always fell asleep before he did and sometimes we'd fall asleep at the same time and forget to hang up.

Who knows what I've said in that state? It would be like I'm drunk like I don't really know what I'm saying and I won't remember in the morning but skipping all the bad headaches and throwing up. I guess Dylan knew though and the fact he remembered and enjoyed the little things makes me smile.

Sure I'm not a twinki and Dylan isn't Tallahassee  but those little things are what keeps us us and I'm grateful for those little things.

Damn I'm not even that big of a 1D fan but I can't go to bed without a cup of tea and all those little things.

"So I know you don't like being mentioned and stuff and I know you wouldn't want to be famous and all but I also know you need money. And acting is a quick and easy job, so is YouTube and social media. Interviewers! You don't have to do it forever but Jeff is rewriting the script and he wants you to be on the show. Wants you come back to LA with me, see how you act. I know you don't like it but you can be in a few episodes, you can do YouTube. With everyone in your life everyone that cares everyone that wants to help you you can get far. I know you normally don't like to take the help people give you. Whenever you get a compliment you don't believe it. I know you hate this idea but I want to help you. And I'm not letting you shot me out or push me away weather you like it or not I'm always going to be here. And I'm trying to help you to make you be in my life longer"

I looked at him staring at him in complete shock. I was taking all of it in and contemplating if I should actually go to LA with him.

"I don't have enough money to buy a plane ticket"

"We'll have a road trip. It'll be fun. We can sleep the day before and drive during night so traffic isn't bad, we can blast music as loud as we want. Mini Roscoe needs some lovin these days"
