Scrambled Eggs & Bacon

Song: Everybody Wants To Rule The World by Tears for Fears

(Helena Syrus / Third Person)

A beam of sunlight snuck through into Helena's bedroom, aiming directly into her eyes. Her eyes slowly fluttered open, She was no more in terror, she was safe. Helena questioned herself about the vivid nightmare she just encountered. How could a nightmare feel so real? she thought to herself.

"It was just a nightmare." Helena mumbled to herself.

Helena sat up and scanned the room around her. The walls, the bed, the view. All was the same to her. Turing to her side, Helena noticed the alarm clock flashed the time. 10:45AM. She has been asleep for a good eleven hours. Helena removed covers of herself and walked towards the bathroom. As she walked, something caught Helena's eye. The chair at the corner of the room had a little black bag with some clothes neatly folded under it. A little note was a attached to the bag.

Good Morning Helena!

We thought to pick up from toiletries for you some the store around the corner and also some clothing to borrow in the meantime. Hope this fits.

Sammy and Hailey x

Helena smiled.

Such a thoughtful gift.

Helena opened the little black bag to discover inside a toothbrush, mini toothpaste, floss, shampoo and conditioner set, deodorant spray and finally a little shower gel.  A tear escape as she looked at the bag. All in the space of twenty hours, these strangers were so kind to her.

With that, Helena took her toiletries with her in the bathroom and proceeded the morning routine.

*****

As Helena finished getting dressed for her unknown way with the strangers, a light tap on door startled Helena.

"Who is it?" Helena called.

The door unlocked revealing at petite Hailey peaking her head through the door.

"Hey sunshine! How are you feeling this morning?" Hailey cooed

Helena didn't want to tell Hailey about his struggles in the bathroom as the bandages wrapped around her restricted her movement.

"Better." Helena replied.

Hailey smiled at whilst looking up and down Helena.

"Well! Don't you look in that outfit!" Hailey smirked.

Helena turned towards the long mirror at the corner of the room, where she stared at herself wearing a long sleeved shirt with a picture of a melting cat and a pair of navy jeans. For once Helena smiled at the image in front of her.

"You hungry?" Sammy appeared.

Helena nodded.

"Let's get you some food young lady!" Hailey cheered.

All three left Helena's room and made their way downstairs to the dinning area. Here you would find Alex drinking a cup of coffee, having a friendly conversation with Zack meanwhile Jack is throwing food up in the air catching it with his mouth and Rian drumming away with his cutlery. Helena's heart started to flutter at the site of Alex, she couldn't understand why her emotions went wild.

Jack looked up and catch the woman walking down the stairs.

"GOOD MORNING HELENA! Jack muffled as balls were still in his mouth.

All of All Time Low and looked the newly improved Helena as she made her way to the table. Sammy pulled the chair out for Helena and sat down next to Alex himself. On the table were some delicious breakfast treat for the whole group to share. Sweet American style pancakes with a drizzle of maple syrup glazing above them. Fluffy scrabbled eggs accompanied by fresh bacon and juicy sausages. A colourful bowl filled with all kinds of fruit and lastly the freshly batch of bread sitting in its basket with the smell inviting Helena to take a bite.

"Morning. Would you like a drink?" Alex offered.

Helena blushed and nodded. Alex grabs the pint of orange juice and pours a glass for her and for the rest of the group. Grabbing bits of everything she could lay her eyes on, Helena began to eat.

"Did you sleep well?" Rian asked.

Helena nodded whilst biting into her scrambled eggs.

"Not much of a talker this morning are we?" Zack commented.

Helena's cheeks turned crimson.

"Let the lady eat first then we'll talk ." Alex spoke.

Helena was grateful for Alex as the only thing on her mind was the mouth watering food. All sat around the table enjoying their breakfast, Helena's was finally satisfied with her first proper meal since the passing of her mother. The radio played in the background with the  hits through the decades to which Alex began to hum.

"I like this.What's this song called?" Helena mumbled.

Jack gasped.

"Don't tell me you don't know who Tears For Fears are Helena!" Jack shouted.

Helena shook her head.

The group laughed with Jack reaction.

"Sorry no, didn't really get an option to listen to music when working in a hotel." Helena spoke.

"You work in a Hotel?" Rian asked.

"Worked."

Helena replied whilst taking a sip of her orange juice.

Silence was around the table as Helena's comment brought reality back to life. She didn't have a place to call her own or a job to keep her stable. This made Helena frown as she knew this moment right now would not last forever.

"So once we're done here! We were thinking to take you out shopping or something? Would you like that?" Sammy asked.

The frown on Helena's face disappeared and was replace with a glimmer of joy.

Helena nodded rapidly.

All smiled at her and finished the rest of the meals before heading up to their rooms and get ready for the new day. Staff from the hotel came to collected the leftover food and the used dishes to take into the kitchen.

"Do you mind if I could give your room for abit? My stuff is in the closet." Alex cooed.

Helena's heart sang the only thing she could do was nod. Alex winked and rushed on upstairs with the rest of the All Time Low whilst Sammy and Hailey went to go sit on the sofa.

"Come join us Helena! The boys might take awhile-"

"Yeah! Especially my brother! Boy he's slow-"

"You're exactly the same Hailey!"

"No I'm not!"

"Yes you are!"

Helena giggled at the site of Sammy and Hailey arguing of who gets ready quicker. She joined the two and began to flicker through a magazine with the cover of the boys in front. In the magazine, it displayed photos of the tour All Time Low just ended, showing the thousands of fans turning up to their concerts to the boys exploring different cities. Helena felt a hint of jealousy of the boys and their travels all over the UK.

"So we're thinking to go to Carnaby Street for Drop Dead. Couple of designs I've seen that I think would really suit you! Plus we can go see Oli too." Sammy planned.

"Oli?" Helena questioned.

"Oli Sykes? You know from Bring Me The Horizon? Hottie of the year? Oli?" Hailey squealed.

Sammy tried to explain to Helena but with no luck she didn't know who she was talking about.

"Oh you're in for a treat!" Sammy winked.
