A Dream

Drip. Drip. Drip.

It was yet another rainy day in Seattle. No one expected anything more, especially not me. I had been living in downtown Seattle for about all my life, but the occasional hobos still kind of freak me out. Though the forecast had said it would be a light shower but it ended up being a monsoon of a storm. God I hated the rain, it made my stupid brown hair frizz up into a mess, and I would be stuck with it for the rest of the day. Then the fact that you had to wear a bulky rain coat just to stay 'dry' was ridiculous. I hated wearing raincoats, and the fact that mine was fucking neon yellow made me feel even more ridiculous about wearing it. I had been waiting outside in the rain for about ten minutes waiting on my friend Julia when I had decided to go inside a random shop and wait for her there.  I ran out of the rain and yanked open the doors, only once I was safe from the elements did I finally lose the tension in my shoulders.

 I shook off my jacket and placed it on a coat rack. I looked around at my surroundings and found myself in the incredible presence of Starbucks mocha's. I decided to get in line and order a grande skinny white chocolate mocha. Once I placed my order I went to a lonely table, grabbed a nearby magazine and began reading the first page. It was mainly about how One Direction was releasing their newest album: Midnight Memories in a couple months, but that wasn't what caught my attention. What had caught it read:

5 Seconds of Summer! Beginning their first tour in the US! Where will they start first?

I kept reading and reading, but once I started getting into the best parts my mocha was ready and I no longer had anytime to read. When I got to the counter, there were four boys laughing about something that I totally didn't care about. I tried going around them but they blocked every entry to the counter. I finally decided to just wait and see what would happen when a blonde boy out of the group turned around holding all four of their steaming hot drinks and slammed right into me, spilling every drink onto my favorite sweater. 

"Ow! Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you man?" I yelled

"Oh, aghh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there. Aww man." he said.

"Whoa, perfect way to real in a hottie." a boy with electrifying highlights said

"Yeah, nice going  dude." a brunet boy joked

"Oh shut the hell up Calum!" the blonde boy yelled while grabbing hand fulls of napkins and beginning to wipe off the stain on my cashmere sweater.

"Wait, Calum, as in, The Calum Hood? As in 5 Seconds of summer, the hottest Australian band in the world?" I asked breathlessly

"Yep pretty much." The blonde boy said. Up until then did I finally realize that the boy I had just finished cussing out was the crush of my life. Luke Hemmings.

"Oh my god, I cant believe it!" I screamed "You're Calum Hood, and, and, you're Ashton Irwin. And you're Michael Clifford. And you're-"

"Luke Hemmings." Luke said cutting me off.

He just stood there sporting that one of a kind, cheeky smile that could only be his. I couldn't believe this. How on earth did these four hotties end up in rainy, stormy Seattle? Oh who cares, all that I could really concentrate on was the fact that Luke and Michael were looking at me deeper than Calum and Ashton were. And I had a feeling that this was just the beginning of the friendship between me and the boys.

Luke's View:

**********************************************************

Whoa, I couldn't believe it. It was the exact same girl from my dreams. She was actually here, right before my eyes. Her hair is still the same wavy brown hair that it has always been. Her eyes were even the same caramel brown that they were in my dreams, but they seemed to shine brighter than before. Everything about her was the exact same except for one thing. She is shorter than what she was in my head. Sure she was only eye level at my shoulder, but I could have sworn that her eyes were leveled with my nose. That was about the only thing different about her.

Whenever I dreamt of her, she always laughed an insane laugh and smiled a gorgeous smile that never failed to make my heart flutter and get my blood pumping even if it was all a dream. I fell in love with her the second I saw her. I always did. I always would ask her out on a date to the movies, which led to a dinner, and then a room. What all happened occured in a speed that was physically impossible. The speed of the relationship was also fast, it didn't seem quite possible. But the kiss we shared always said otherwise. But once she whispers, "I love you." I would  wake up sweating and the boys would be waiting for me to wake up so they could tease me about her. They would always crack up saying,

"HA! SO how was your date? Was it dreamy?" or

"So did you and your imaginary girlfriend hit it off again last night?"

They all made those jokes and laughed at them, all except for Michael. I don't know why, but something just didn't add up. I felt like this girl wasn't just appearing in my dreams but his also, I just was never too confident to confront Mikey about it. Always thinking that he would just laugh in my face about my repetitive dream romance like Calum and Ashton. But now everything has changed. She's actually here. And I knew the moment I saw her that those dreams I had were A LOT more than just a dream.

Michael's View:

*********************************************************

It's her. The girl from my dreams. The one that I would fall in love with but end up killing in a fight on the street. I never got the chance to know her name in any of my dreams because she would leave me before I could ask her. But whenever she left me, she would always whisper,

"I'll be back for you."

That's all she ever really seemed to say. She never vocally said she loved me, but she did say it with her eyes, and with the passionate kiss that we shared every night. That kiss, there was something about it that would leave me starstruck for days. I would be in my own little world, replaying the kiss in my head. Wondering what was so fascinating and pleasureful that I just had to have another, and another. That kiss was something that I knew was too good to be true. I day dream about running into her and reenacting everything that happens in the dream, but everyday I'm let down because I can never find her. No matter how many fans I meet, overlook, or glimpse at, none of them are her.

I never tell the boys about these dreams. because if I did, I know everything would go awkward between me and Luke. Knowing Luke, he would get jealous knowing that every night I dream about falling in love with the same girl. Then hell would start raining down on me. And that is exactly what I am trying to avoid. All the songs I ever write are about her. They're about missing her, about wanting her, about needing her.

I always tell the boys these feelings are about a past girlfriend so they never get too suspicious. Though there was one song that I have never shown to anyone, and don't plan to, though my dream girl is an exception. It's about a boy and girl who fell in love, but the girl died in his arms. Now he is talking about what he goes through everyday. Every time I sing it in my head, there is only one thing that roams through my head. And it's that I will NOT fail her and I would never think about hurting her in anyway possible, even if my dreams don't cooperate.

I don't care if it isn't meant to be like that. I couldn't care less. I need her. She's the only one I'll ever be able to open up to. She'll be the only girl to ever know my background. My independence might ruin my chances with her but oh well. Everyone already sees me as a mysterious outsider who keeps his mouth shut. So it doesn't matter. Only the boys and her matter.
