Look After You {Sequel To Lost In Stereo}

Chapter Thirty Four-Memories

"Six Feet Under The Stars is a place that doesn't exist. It's a place in your mind where everything and anything is possible. Its a place with no rules or initiations. It's a place where only two people can be at a time where no one can judge them and no one can try to breath them apart." -Alex Gaskarth

Zach didn't even know why he bothered asking Corey if he knew anything about Tellie, after all apparently the only person Tellie wanted to know about was Cam... But Zach did ask Corey, and Corey constantly texted Liam, who constantly texted Louis, who hardly ever answered. Which meant Liam had nothing to text Corey, which meant Corey had nothing to tell Zach.

"...Just text her." Cam said finally. "Come on its Tellie we're talking about, name one time she's been without her phone."

"That time she was in a coma." Corey snapped back. He himself was as annoyed as Zach. How out of all the people in the world, had she remembered Cam? Cameron Roth who made his friends come over every time his older brother threw a party. Cameron Roth who'd played guitar until his fingers bled just because he could.

"Could guys at least act like you want to be here?" Cam asked momentarily. "We're on The X Factor! The X Factor! And you guys look like you're dead or something..."

"My relationships dead." Zach said speaking for the first time that night. "I say I love a girl and she forgets me. If that's not bad luck what is?"

"You heard what Corey said, once she see's you she'll remember you." Cam replied. "But if we screw up on here, Simon Cowell will fucking murder us."

"He's actually a nice guy." Corey countered earning a scoff from Cam.

"Say's Liam Payne's son. Of course he's nice to you."

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious."

Zach rolled his eyes at his two bickering friends, not daring to even get in the stupid argument. He wanted to text Tellie and actually get a reply, he wanted to know she still felt something for him. Something like the way he felt for her. He pulled his phone off the bedside table, unlocking it and going to his text messages. He stared at the screen, wondering whether to text Tellie or not.

"Zach you do realise she's not going to text you back..." Corey said as he threw a pillow at Cam who fell off his bed, rolling his eyes as he rubbed the back of his now aching head.

"I wasn't texting her," Zach lied. "I was texting my mum. She wanted to know how we were."

"Tell her I miss her cookies!" Cam shouted as he attempted to tackle Corey. Zach watched as Corey also fell to the ground, Cam putting him in a headlock but he soon got out and the two seemed to be arm wrestling or something totally different.

"How long are you guys gonna do that?" Zach asked.

Cam smirked. "Until Corey realizes he can't win."

Tellie had thought long and hard trying to remember the last time she saw Marnie. She knew she had seen her sometime recently before her coma, but pretty much everything before then was a blur to her. Her memories were coming back to her in flashes as she slept, but she could hardly tell whether it was all real or just a dream. Sometimes she wondered if she was dreaming. If all of this was just some wicked dream that her imagination made up because she actually had another life. A tragic life.

Tellie tossed and turned in her sleep almost screaming at the things the floated around her head, murmuring silent "It has to be a dream. This has to be a dream." Louis watched, looking at his daughter with nothing but sympathy, knowing there was no way to stop whatever was running through her head.
