NIGHT CHANGES
[ Zion Kuwonu's POV- ]

Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep!

I couldn't sleep. Not at all. It wasn't rare anymore for me to not get sleep this week, simply because all I thought about was Michelle.

But tonight felt a little bit more different. There was something in me telling me to leave this house. It told me to just go out there, get some fresh air and clear my mind, let the wheels of my car take me to my destination and just get totally lost at the sunrise.

I got up, the fact that I actually haven't even got ready for bed was a sign that I got this thought to go outside for a quite few hours now. I slide into my shoes and walk past a snoring Edwin. I couldn't care any less at the hoodie and jeans that I was wearing, heck I didn't even put on my cap to hide my messy and undone dreads from today.

Maybe it was Edwin's voice, a chip that he planted over night. It was yesterday since he lost it and the fact that he even had a plan to for Michelle and I to make up just sounded ridiculous.

The house was quiet, mainly because it's already past midnight and it was a tiring day. The staircase cracks as I walk my way down, but I couldn't give a single fudge. It was as if it was a oiled machine, I grab my carkeys, hopped in my car and there I was, on the road at one am in the late night.

The headlights in front of my car showed me the way (a/n : THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR VINES JHIA!) and I turn on the radio, letting the slow music of One Direction play. Their album always has been in my car, my all time favorite to play during nights like these was Night Changes, simply because it gave off the perfect vibe that was fitting in the situations.

The five legends sings their song through the radio, and I felt myself loosen up. The streets were empty, in fact, no other single car was being seen except for mines. "Driving too fast, moon is breaking through her hair." I sing along, softly, my fingers tapping onto the leather steering wheel as I take random turns and roads.

I roll down the window to let the chilly air of LA's nighttime flow through my car. I breath it in, the tension in me slowly fading away. "She said it was something that she won't forget. Having no regrets is all that she really wants"

It was odd. Everything was odd. The thought of him wanting to go outside and playing Once Direction late at night.

The road I was riding, the turns I was taking.

It all lead to one thing and one thing only.

Michelle.

It was like I was singing about her. Every word described what was going on which never happened before. I've sung this song a million times, and just now it showed me a different meaning.

I already realized what I was doing. I was driving towards Michelle, and I didn't stopped myself. I was almost there, the song guiding my way physically and emotionally.

The night indeed has changed fast, and now I needed nothing else than Michelle.

I park my car and jump out it, clicking my car locked by pressing the button on my remote. I shove my hands in my pocket, hiding myself in the navy blue IOWA sweater I was wearing.

I hesitated, my hands were shaking and I sigh. I push the door open, leading me into the staircases. The lights were flickering, but it didn't gave off a scary vibe. I made my way up the stairs, playing with the carkeys in my hands as I listen how it rinkles. As I arrive at the right floor, I walk through the hallways to find the right door.
