marina's dream

°

I sit underneath a station holding in my breath for dear life, whimpering while tears stream down my face. Two robbers just came in and threatened Samuel. I'm so scared and there's nothing I can do about it because he told me to stay here. I'm praying they won't hurt him. Please, please, please, ple- *shot-gun* I whimper even more as I hear footsteps coming my way.

marina's POV

I sit up with wide eyes, super sticky and sweaty as to what has just occurred in my 'dream'. Oh my god,I better make sure he's okay.

I jump out of bed and run straight for my closet, picking out anything that will at least make me look presentable. After changing and freshening up as quick as I can, I feed my dog, grab my phone, wallet & keys, and lock the door shut.

I run out of the apartment complex and down the sidewalk, then to the alley behind the tattoo shop. I open the back door to see it completely empty, except for Samuel at his drawing station. I let out a huge breath I was not aware I had been holding.

"Hey. Why such a hurry?"

"Uhm, just wanted to make sure I was here early enough for the customers."

"Ok, but we open at 11 it's 10:15"

"I know but.....ok I had a nightmare and you were there and robbers killed you and they were after me too and..."

"Come here." he says and opens his arms for me as I hug him.

"I know you love me, but I'm okay." he smiles. I roll my eyes at him.

Ever since I've been working here Sam has had a huge crush on me. Yeah, he is a little attractive but I see him as the brother I've never had.

He lets go of me and continues to complete his drawing, while I go on instagram and browse.

2 hours later°

Two hours have gone by and still no customers. We always have them. I wonder where they are?

My phone beeps and I see it's a call from Johnny.

"Hello?"

"Hey, there's someone coming in, in about an hour and he's really important so I need you make sure your there for him and do a good job."

"Uh, sure. Who is this guy, anyway?"

"His names Zayn Malik, I usually do his work, but obviously I'm not there"

"Yeah.K, boss I will. Enjoy ur vaca!!"

"Thanks. Bye."

I hang up and walk over to Samuel.

"Johnny says there's this guy who's important. Do you know him?"

"Sure, we're great friends, but yeah he's actually famous so be good."

"Ugh, I know I was just asking."

I walk away and sit in a wheely chair, spinning around.

I go to google search and type in 'Zayn Malik'.

I slightly smirk to myself. Wow, he's kinda cute.

I put my phone away and sit in silence with my eyes closed for I'm guessing a few minutes, until I hear girls screaming and yelling. What could that be?

I stand up and look outside the window seeing a crowd of girls, some even crying.

"What the hell?" I whisper to myself.
