The Technicolor Phase

Part 45-Honey and the Bee

[Adam's POV]

When I woke I saw Jasper, Breanne and Steve in the room staring at me with concerning looks on their faces. I asked what was the matter. They said that I was screaming in my sleep and saying things that they didn't understand. My face got hot, then I sat up and yawned. I looked at them. They wore jeans and a tee shirt and tennis shoes. I was in my pajamas still. They saw that I wanted to get changed and they went out and said that they would be in the tour bus waiting. I watched as Jasper closed the door on his way out. Slowly, I sat up and shuffled myself over to the suitcase. I chose jeans, a Relient K shirt and I put on Ontisuka Tigers. Then I zipped up my suitcase, made sure I had everything and left. As I went out I thought I saw AnnMarie. I got scared and ran to the bus and went in with my eyes wide in fear. Breanne asked what was wrong. I told them, Jasper brought out his phone and called the rest of the places that we are doing concerts at, he told everyone of them to ask everyone who comes in if their name is AnnMarie Monson. He hung up the phone and I sat down and sighed in relief. We headed towards the airport, while we were driving my stomach made a loud noise. We all laughed. Steve handed me a bowl of oatmeal with apple pieces in it. I told him thanks and took a bite. I spit it out. It was good but it was too hot to eat. As I let it cool, I closed my eyes and saw my younger self. The younger me asked how I was doing. I told him I was doing okay.

"That's good, now we have five more concerts right?"

"Yeah. Why?" I asked

The younger me sighed heavily.

"At the last concert you'll find something out. I don't know if it's good or bad yet but you will find something out, now I can only contact you when you need me the most which right now you need me the most."

"Why? What's going to happen?!" I shouted

"Shh....they can hear you."

At first I was confused. Then I remembered that I'm on the tour bus with Breanne, Steve and Jasper.

"What are we going to do?" I said softly

The younger me shrugged his shoulders.

"Time is up, Adam. I'll see you in New York," the younger me said just as I opened my eyes and saw the gang.

They stared at me like I was crazy. I asked them if they heard anything. They said they did. I heard the younger me tell me to tell them. I sighed.

"You guys might think I am crazy but I can talk to my younger self. Don't ask me how. I just can," I told them as I picked up the bowl of oatmeal and took a bite.

They looked at each other then back at me. I could tell that they were wondering if they should speak or not. I ate some oatmeal that had an apple piece in it. We hit a bump in the road and I swallowed on accident with out chewing up the apple. I started choking. The bowl fell out of my hands and hit the floor. I made strange noises in my throat, the gang tried to help me. After a few minutes of coughing and Jasper doing the heimlich maneuver on me. I spit it out and collapsed on the floor. I was crying. Why am I crying?! I stayed on the floor and continued to gasp for air. I almost died by eating an apple! When I pulled myself together, I got to my feet and cleaned up the oatmeal that spilled. I found myself joking around weirdly. Then I stopped talking and realized what I had just said. Quickly, I apologized to them. They said they knew I didn't mean anything by it. But I could tell they were offended. I frowned. The bus stopped and we were at the airport. We got our things and headed out. The airport was not crowded at all. Sweet. We checked in, went through security, and borded the plane. Are next place is Russia. It was just us on the plane and we sat near each other. The way I was joking around on the bus made us uncomfortable with each other, if I had a friend do what I did I would stay away from them, which is what the gang is doing. Jasper, Breanne and Steve sat on one side of the plane and I sat on the other side by myself. Was this what the younger me was talking about? I tried communicating but it didn't work. I felt depressed. I couldn't figure out why I was acting like that. I stared out the window the whole way there.
