You're Just A Daydream Away

Chapter 4: Poison

"Rey, come on!" I yelled up the stairs towards where our bedrooms were. It was now the morning after our party, and we were getting ready to see the boys off as they left for tour. Well, I was going to see them, apparently Rey was still in bed.

"I had more to drink that you did and I'm even out of bed! Let's go!" I yelled again, hearing nothing. 

I groaned and put my beanie over my bed head. I didn't even bother to shower this morning; I stayed in bed as long as I could. After pulling on my Vans and grabbing my sunglasses, I finally went upstairs to pull Rey out of bed. For once, I was it was me trying to get her somewhere on time. 

I stomped up the stairs, barging into her room without a knock to find Braxton still asleep on the bed, and Rey nowhere to be found. 

"Brax." I said, walking further into the room. He didn't move. 

I rolled my eyed. "BRAX!" I yelled, and he woke up with a start. 

"What?" He groaned, burying his face into the pillows. 

"Where's Rey? We're supposed to go see the guys this morning before they leave." I asked.

"I don't know, I've been asleep." He said, burying himself deeper into the pillows. I sighed. "When she gets back then, tell her I already left."

Braxton mumbled something, which I assumed was a yes, and I walked out of the room. 

I walked into the garage and started the charcoal Beamer that was waiting for me. I closed the door to my car and turned the radio on, desperate to keep myself awake. As I pull out of the car, I notice Rey's car is still sitting there. Odd.

On the way to Rian's I try calling Rey, and still get no answer. I guess she was going to miss the send off. Her loss. 

I pull up to Rian's house 10 minutes later at 7:30. It was so nice that we lived semi-close to each other. The guys left at 8, so that gave us all plenty of time to say our goodbyes. I parked along the street behind their giant ass tour bus and walked up to the door. Rian answered after my first knock. 

"Look who it is, how are you feeling this morning Bee?" He asked, answering the door. "Like a pocket full of fucking sunshine." I mumbled as I rubbed my hand across my face. Rian let me through the house and into the kitchen where everyone else was already waiting, besides Alex who was nowhere to be found. 

"Bee!" Jack said, coming around the island to pull me into a hug. "Where's Rey?" He asked, looking behind me. I shrugged. "I have no idea." I say to him as I sit down on a barstool next to Grieco. 

"All set to leave?" I ask, looking over to him. We didn't say much to each other last night after the whole Zane thing. Things just got kind of...awkward.

He nods. "Ready as I'll ever be. I don't like leaving you here knowing Zane is still here though." He said, looking at me. I gave him a small smile. 

"I'll be fine. I have Rey living with me, and Brax is over all the time." I tell him.

Just then, the front door slams open and closed, and in walks a very disheveled looking Rey. 

"Where the fuck were you?" I asked, spinning around in my barstool.

"I fell asleep in the bathroom. The bathroom! I got up in the middle of the night to pee, or puke, I can't remember, and next thing I know I'm waking up and it's 7:25 and I'm on the floor covered up with rug. Never let me drink again." She whines, sitting down on the floor and leaning up against the cabinets. "My head hurts." She continues, and I laugh. "Please take this mess with you." I turn Rian. He laughs. "Sorry, she's all yours."
