Reality Ruined My Life ((on hold))

Awful Dream & Explanations

[A/N] his is more like a "fill-in"chapter to kinda explain stuff, so its pretty long, hah. But get ready for the next one!! It'll be awesomesauce! We're very excited for it. Where do you think Luke wants to take Alexa? Any guesses? (;

Hope you like it! Logan is the ex-boyfriend, btw.

<><><><><><><><><><>

*Alexa's POV*

"Hey can I ask you something?" Luke asks me.

"Sure, what is it?" I look over at him.

"Well since you said you didn't have any plans for today, wanna hang out later? You know...just casually and maybe I can introduce you to a few of my friends."

"Uhm, I'm not sure." I shrugged. I still have to talk to Andrea about last night and where she disappeared to.

"They're pretty cool, actually. Its just sometimes they can be idiots, but you'll surely get along with them." he informs me, looking into my eyes.

"Uh, yeah. Sure, I guess." I reply without thinking. Damn you Luke. Why do you have such beautiful eyes? ...and face?

The car behind me honks a few times, letting me know that its safe to go on now. I look away from Luke as quickly as possible and try to focus on the road.

"Great, I know just the place for it! It'll be amazing!" he promised, voice filled with happiness.

"I'll pick you up at 5ish." he adds, finally looking away from me and taking his phone out.

Peaking from the corner of my eye, I noticed he quickly texted someone.

"Whoa man, really? I'm sorry, my phone was turned off." Ashton answers after Luke asked him why he never answered his phone last night.

"Its fine, but help me, will you?" Luke asks.

"So if you lost your keys, where did you stay last night?" Ashton questions.

"Alexa's." Luke replies, pointing at me.

"Oh." Ashton gives me a smile.

"But you could've just staye-"

Ashton was cut off by Luke stepping on his foot, making his eyes go wide in pain I guess.

"Well uhm, I guess I'll talk to you later. Bye Luke. Bye Ashton." I wave goodbye to the both of them.

"See ya." says Luke and Ashton just waved goodbye.

In the drive back, I was blasting Strong by One Direction and singing out loud. Someone could actually mistaken me for a dying cat if they heard me right now.

When I finally get home, I go upstairs and as usual and check my Twitter and Instagram.

Checking One Direction's recent tweets, I see Niall tweeted about a band called 5 Seconds Of Summer, telling us to pre-order their EP.

Uhm, you know what? I don't know who 5 Seconds Of Summer is, and I don't plan on finding out either. I remember Louis tweeting about them once, but I didn't really pay too much attention to it.

It's apparently a band and since they tweeted about them, they must be good. But I don't want to risk falling for another band again, falling for One Direction has taught me enough.

Two hours went by just me scrolling through my Twitter and Instagram and listening to the radio. Good thing my parents aren't home because if they were the only thing I'd be listening to would be them telling me to be more active and get off the phone.

I look up at the clock and it's 2 in the afternoon. Luke said he's picking me up around 5 so I still have like 3 hours to kill.

Oh! I almost forgot. I still need to call Andrea back. I exit out of the social media sites and dial her number.

"Hiya!" Andrea picks up after 3 rings.

"Hi. Explain." I get right to it.

"Okay first off, I'm sorry I left without you in an unknown place by yourself. Its just that...I don't know...its Ashton, okay? I think I'm over Michael..I mean, he and I never really had a thing ya know? And...Ashton just...captured me...with his smile and his soft and messy hair and his..."

"I get it, Andrea. You're in loove."

"Oh, shut it." she laughs and I know she's rolling her eyes from the other side of the phone.

"But really though, I saw what y'all did back there." I wink even though she cant see me.

"Oh, you saw that? Uhm...I don't...I don't know what that was." she admits, her voice quieter than before.

"Oh and by the way, I wasn't really at the party last night either like you think I was.." I tell her.

"What? Where were you?" she asks.

"Luke was showing me around here since I'm new and all." I shrug, purposely leaving out the fact that he actually stayed at my house last night.

"Ah, insert winky face here." she jokes.

"Shut up, its nothing." I chuckle.

"So what are you doing today?" she asks.

"Well uhm, Luke asked me to hang out later and meet a few of his friends." I answer. "Wanna come with?"

"I don't know....Luke asked you, not me."

"I'm sure he'll be fine with it. I mean he wants to introduce me to a few of his friends, not like its a date or anything. Besides, you're one of his friends, aren't you?" I try to convince her.

"Yeah, okay. I'll just show up at the place, just let me know where you are, and I'll see you there then." she agrees and hangs up.

I glance at the clock once again and it is now 2:46. Today seems to be going really slow. Not knowing what else to do, I decide to take a bath.

"Is he yours ma'am?" the officer asks me as I turn to look at my drunk boyfriend.

"Yes, sir."

"Lub you." Logan whispers as he comes near me, trying to kiss my cheek. I push him away in disgust as I can smell beer coming from his breath.

I thank the officer when I'm done signing the papers and help Logan get up from his seat. This isn't the first time I had to come here and god knows how many more times I have to come back just so I could free my boyfriend from behind the bars.

When we find our, well my, car he grabs my waist and spins me around. My back hits the car, making a knocking sound.

"Alexa...? Alexa?" Logan calls my name but the voice doesn't belong to him...it belongs to...

Mom?

I wake up to find myself sitting in foam. I look around to identify the place and find that I am in the bathtub. I didn't realize I had fallen asleep while bathing. The knocking is actually coming from someone banging on the door, not my back hitting my old car.

It was just a bad dream, Alexa. Logan isn't here anymore. You're free once again. I remind myself.

"Yeah?" I answer my mother.

"Are you alright in there? You've been there for a while now, you're taking longer than usual."

Longer than usual? How long have I been in here?

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just had a long day." I lie. My eyes go wide as I read the time on my phone. Its 4:26. I've been asleep in the bathroom, in the bathtub, for nearly 2 and a half hours.

Add that awful dream to the list.
