It Is...

I snapped out of confusion by the sound of the engine of a starting car.

"Where are we going?" I asked the guy at my side. He wears a fedora, a white shirt and a black pants.

"I don't know." He said.

"Okay..." I don't know why I smiled and felt really comfortable.

The road is dark. It is much of a foggy night. As always, I looked out for the sky and try to gaze at the stars but it is a bit cloudy. I am enjoying the ride. The moonlight striked the clouds and formed a beautiful image. The moon is like a girl trying to have a  glance for a man— the Earth— that she loves.

He then opened radio and a familiar song came playing. I cannot remember the title but he sang along with it and I looked down and smiled trying to hide it from him. And I realized that I am wearing different shoes. The left is white and the right is blue. I don't know why. Ugh. I am slightly embarrased by this.

The car stopped.

"Hey, let us get out of the car."

"Okay." The wind blew my hair to my face and I wiped it aside to see.

We took steps until we reach a lake.

He said "Can you see it?"

"What? The lake? Yeah. It is beautiful." I mumbled.

"I thought you always look up the sky?"

The lake calmed and I see through the reflection of it. The sky. And slowly... I gazed up and all I can see is beauty. The wind took the clouds aside. The moon on the middle of the landscape. The stars; beautiful. I cannot speak that time. I swear everything is perfect. Romantic. I closed my eyes;

and I felt everything;

I felt the universe.

And when I opened my eyes, I saw the ceiling of my room. I took my phone and I saw 3:59AM and turned 4:00AM.

It is a dream.

A really weird dream.

I got to the school as a part of the day.

"Who is the guy?" My friend asked. I told her about my dream.

"I do not know; I cannot remember his face."

"Oh... What a dream. But horrible that you cannot remember who he is."

"...but I can remember his voice. It is so...good. Angelic it is." I stand my side.

"Ohh girl. There are lots of guys with almost the same voices. Duh?" She said in ironic way.

"But his' is unique."  I can say.

The school ended the way it always do. Stressful. This time, we got lots of assignments. After I did all of those, I took a shower and got to my room. I opened my phone and notifications poped saying that the concert will be free. My smile turned out to be touching my ears. I almost cried because of the joy I am feeling. The day-long stress is cleared by a flicker of happiness.

"Oh my Gosh... I am seeing my idols." I said with a clear voice as I imagine...

Bradley singing high notes and the crowds starts to go wild.
The Vamps playing songs and the fans are jumping. Bradley sings Somebody To You and the Vamily sings along.

As I imagine...

Bradley's eyes locked with mine.

That simple thought made me get a piece of paper and a pen. My hand started stroking; every word came from nowhere.

I got your eyes on mine,
I am now not fine.
I am drowned on that crystals;
I've seen petals;
Coming from nowhere.

Now, I have discovered the wonder of the world
'Cause that just happened in a second; that is curled.

A small sound is induced by my phone. I knew it was a notification.

"Hey! How are you?" I read the message from my friend. I got out of my daydream and replied...

"Happy that I can hug all the people that I will see."

"Oh yes! You are great. What's the thing that made you up?" She asked.

"The concert is free. Will you come with me?"

"Be sure that there are no hidden expenses." The message is sent with a sigh emoji.

"I got your transportation expenses." I replied for I am desperate to go to that concert.

"Sure! Hahahaha. You really got me there." The conversation's still not over but that things are the one who is left in my mind.

As this girl go through the night, she remembered something...
Something that is stucked in her mind. Word-by-word she's trying to put it out.

"I've been swimming through the noise,
But somehow I hear your voice; breaking through—"

"That cool song..." I mumbled. I opened the browser and tried to search it but I noticed...

11:10 turned to 11:11... I've waited for this. It became vast. Silent.

"11:11. I hope this time, my dream will be reality." My voice is shaking.

"11:11, make me experience what it feels to be happy. Make me feel the real happiness."

My voice cracked and I realized that I've been so tired; not physically but emotionally. Tired for years. Tired to live a nonsense life. I closed my eyes; I remembered how I tried to kill myself and I just felt a tear drop from my left eye.

I got so many words to say but one minute is just not enough so I am waiting everyday for 11:11 to come. AM—PM, I am waiting.

I fell asleep hoping that the luck of 11:11 is such a real thing.
