Warped

Lynn POV

I saw Alexa and Madi in the same room together just standing there. It was a blank white room with nothing but them and a chair in the background of them. I tried look behind me but my head wouldn't move. My vision stayed on Madi and Alexa. I walked towards Madi like as if I had to choose. When I took my first step Alexa turned her heading facing Madi looking her up and down. She took one big step towards Madi still looking the ground where she stood.

I went to take another step by my foot stopped before it could reach the ground. Alexa had pulled Madi close and pressed her lips to Madi's. Madi just stood there unmoving, Alexa had a knife to Madi's throat but it seems she didn't notice the knife. I wanted to run towards them and try to help but I couldn't move and soon they faded away like dust was blown away. Everything turned into an old kitchen I remember to be my old college dorm I had before. There was wine on the counter and a broken glass.

The chair stood in the same place it was last time but this time something hung over it.

A dimly lit lightbulb suspended in the air by a piece of string. Hung from the dark ceiling of the chair. I walked over to the chair and stepped onto it to examine the lightbulb, when I touch the string of the bulb it began to flicker and with a loud crack the bulb went out and the string felt different. It no longer felt like the small weak string that hung from the ceiling but now it felt thicker. More rough and knotted, when I went to feel for the bulb a loop of the material was in it's place.

I soon realized what this was and when to get off the chair feeling the chair creak under my foot. The chair slipped and my neck somehow caught into the loop. The material scraping into my skin felt worse than before, then the loop came loose and I fell fast first onto where the floor should be but kept falling. Until landing into a dark hallway with a doorway at the end brightly lit. I wanted to turn back but knew I couldn't. I kept walking and felt something hitting me making me feel cold. I continued walking until I made it to a big step, cautiously stepping onto it I saw what was through the door.

I soon opened my eyes and felt raining pounding against me, there were no cars and it was bright out, it must be morning. But it wasn't that I was looking at, it was the height of how high I was up above the rocky waters rushing below me. I was slightly blinded by the sun and didn't know where I was. Did I walk here? Was I sleep walking? I wanted to get down but I still kept looking down at the water. I look peaceful even with the tides crashing against rocks. I was on the ledge of the bridge area. I slightly leaned forward, it didn't seem that bad.

"Lynn!" I heard Alex's voice he sounded worried more than angry. Madi was behind him wiping tears away from her eyes while Brian had a blank face. Madi sprinted towards me and ripped me off of the ledge and held onto me me for dear life. My ribs were actually hurting now from her. I saw they drove here with Ruby in the driver's seat getting out of the car to join us.

"After Ruby saved you from drowning and here you are trying to throw that away after everything! We were worried sick; why would you even think of doing that! I woke up and you were gone do you know how we felt!" Madi yelled at me. I honestly deserved it she had every right to. Instead of saying anything I just wrapped my arms around her into a hug. "I'm sorry. I was dreaming and I woke up on the ledge honestly but it seemed so peaceful." I kept my voice soft trying not to make it crack. It felt dry and in pain, I could feel Madi crying again into the crook of my neck. Everyone crowded in and told me what they needed to say.

I felt like the biggest idiot ever. I was completely covered in water and ruined everyone's night. I scared the hell out of everyone and made Madi cry. Madi kept trying to stop crying but everytime she looked at me I could see her eyes get misty. When we got into the car the atmosphere was tense. I slouched down and propped my elbows onto my knees putting my face into my hands. I felt like I was choking up on air itself.

It was getting hard to breathe and my throat stung more than ever holding back the tears. I caused so much trouble. Why did I have to stand on that ledge longer than I should have? Why didn't I get off the moment I woke up? Why did they have to see me? So many whys to myself but no answer. None. I felt tears fall into the palms of my hands. I felt useless, I couldn't feel anything but still kept crying. The back of my head throbbed and I gasped in air. I put my hands behind my neck having my forearms covering my head.

I could feel Madi wrap her arms around my shoulders but still kept crying. I didn't want her to see me like this, to see me weak. Exposed. Vulnerable. I didn't want any of them to see me like this but there was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. "I'm so sorry Madi." My voice cracking. Feeling Madi's grasp tighten around me.

              The rain finally stopped around the time we made it to the bus. I kept thinking about so many things it was hard to figure out what to describe. I kept backtracking to the dream and what it meant.

             We walked into the tour bus and everyone had sat down at the built in table. Alex patted a seat for me and I sat down bracing myself for what they were going to say.

               "I think we should quit warped tour for now." Alex said with a deep breath having a hopeful look in his eyes.

      I swear I felt my heart drop. Why would he say that? He loves warped tour.

"What do you mean? Why?"

"Well I thought touring would cheer you up but it hasn't and I think you need to take a break and just relax for awhile. We all think you should."

I couldn't believe he was saying this.

"No."

"Lynn you don't have much of a choice unless you want to go touring with Brian and I."

Brian nodded in approval.

I needed some time to think about it. It's too early for all this up front.

"Let me think about all of this. Okay?"

"Alright Lynn."

I stood up and walked over to the couch and sat down to think while everyone else went to bed or somewhere else.

  I scrolled through my phone and turned it off. Maybe they were right. After a bit Ruby walked in quietly and sat next to me. She was silent for a little bit until she finally looked at me.

     "I know you don't want to stop the touring because of the fans and I may not understand but I think Alex and Brian are right. You need a break and to try and sort yourself out. Madi and everyone was worried sick about you and if you keep touring and getting all this stress and go somewhere different Brian or Alex might not find you in time."

I was surprised by how much she had to say. The way she made it sound she sounded pretty right. She knew what she was saying and thinking. 

    "Thank you Ruby." With that she left and pushed Madi into my view.

"Listen I'm certain you don't anymore lectures so let's just go to sleep." Madi looked dead beat tired and I felt like it.

Madi laid her head on my lap to make sure I stayed in the bus. I'm certain we'll all be sleeping in. Slowly everything became calming and I fell asleep.
