Sleeping Beauty (with a Modern twist)

Chapter Three

     Five tall, beautiful people where making there way towards us, and I had to lock my knees before I buckled down to the ground. Kristen and I just stood in the streets starring at them walk towards us, with wide eyes and our mouths open; we probably looked like total idiots. When R5 was within 8 feet from us, they noticed, and I guess conclude we where fans of them, Rocky, Riker and Rydel lead in the front, while Ross and Ryland where in the back, Ellington wasn't with them, so I guess it wasn't Officially R5, but it was the Lynch siblings, which is pretty indescribable. Rydel smiled at us, her long blonde hair was down and she was wearing a blue tutu and a white tee-shirt. Riker was in the middle, wearing his sun glasses, and grinning wildly. Rocky flanked the other side of Riker; he was leaning against the brick wall as he walked up towards us, looking sexy as ever. I couldn't see Ross or Ryland at all, even though they had gotten taller since I last saw them at the age of 16 they still couldn't surpass their older siblings height wise. Rydel was the first to speak "Hey, guys!" she cheered like we were old friends, she had such warmth about her, all of them did, I felt so comfortable around them. I snapped out of my state of gawking, I could feel my cheeks redden a little, "Well, hi!" I smiled a little too enthusiastically. Kristen still seemed to be in a state of shock, I put my hand on her shoulder to make sure she didn't pass out. "I...Can't believe this is happening, we're, both really huge fans."  I stuttered out. They all just smiled brighter. Kristen must have snapped out of her shock and grinned madly, "This is incredible!" she shrieked a little, Riker let out a friendly laugh. "Hey you all look familiar did you come to any of or concerts?" Kristen came in right on cue like she knew he was going to ask that, "Yeah! I saw your Portland concert and my friend saw your Seattle concert!" Riker smiled "that's right! You're Kristen if I remember correctly... but I'm having trouble placing the name to your face..." the lynch family turns their attention on me, "yeah...I had to leave early so I didn't get to meet you after, but I stood by Ross and Rocky so you might not remember me Riker..." Rocky's face lit up "Oh you're that girl who kept making goo goo eyes with Ross the entire night!" he let out a laugh until Ross smacked him from behind, I felt my face turn beet red I giggled it off a little, "yeah that was probably me." Ross spoke up from behind everyone, "well let me come up so I can see her!" he pushed his way in-between Rocky and Riker until he stood in front of us he still had a good foot or two on me but he towered in front of Kristen, he winked at Kristen then turned towards me and his face dropped to a shocked expression, I guess in a normal circumstance a normal girl would be concerned by the fact Ross looks totally overwhelmed just by looking at her face, but I was to consumed in the hypnotic state I started to experience. Oh come on Olivia why now? I started to feel tired and woozy, and I just wished I could snap out of it. Ross just kept starring at me a little bit of confusion and flabbergasted, his siblings looked at him confused I just stood still. Petrified at what was about to happen. "Ummm Ross..." Rydel interrupted the awkward silence, he cleared his throat. But Kristen must have sensed something was wrong, I looked over at her worry mixed with fatigue spread across my face, the last things I saw; Kristen mouthing "Oh crap..." and me taking a head dive right into Ross's un-expecting arms.

            I woke up sitting in the passenger seat of my car, my knees close to my chest in the distressed heroine position, I turn over to face the drivers seat, Kristen was sitting in it, lifting a white spoon full of icy goodness up to her lips and a get shaved bowl in her other hand, she grinned at me. "Hey sleepy head!" she jeered "how did I get here?" I asked crinkling my brow, I know Kristen would never have the strength to carry me all the way back to my car, I would have crippled her. "Well after you collapsed and Ross luckily saved you before you splattered yourself on the concrete, he lifted you back up into his arms and was just like 'this isn't the first time someone passed out, don't worry.' And I was all like 'she didn't pass out she has narcolepsy so she fell asleep.' And the lynch family looked at each other like 'What?' and I was like 'it's an illness and she didn't get much sleep last night so that's probably why.' And Ross giggled and was all like 'I can take her to the car' so I gave him the keys and got some get shaved with the rest of R5 and he took you to the car and waited with you until I got back." She let out a long breath after finishing that monster sentence, and then shoveled some more ice into her mouth. I tried to speak but it all jumbled up inside my throat, "What?" I managed to sputter. "Well after you fell asleep Ross was just like 'I'll Take her to the car, you can go with my siblings to get shaved Ice,' and I was like 'are you sure Ross maybe you should have someone else go with you...' and he was all like 'Believe me guys I'm fine.' Then he winked at me, again and I went to go get some get shaved." I still wasn't able to process any of this, "How long was I out?" Kristen shrugged, "like an hour, I was able to spend like 30 minutes at get shaved with them, it was so amazing! But um I got you some shaved ice, but you where sleeping and it was starting to melt...so I'm eating it now..." she slowly lifted up some more ice and sheeplishly grinned at me. "That's fine...but..." I laid my head back down on the chair and groaned, "Kristen, I'm never going to be able to thank him, or talk to R5 again!" I felt the tears swell in my eyes, not necessarily because I feel like that might be the last chance of meeting my favorite band, but because I hate this disease, I hate it, I feel like a prisoner in my own body, I feel so out of control, I miss out on what could be the greatest moments of my life. I rubbed my eyes hoping she'll think the smudges of mascara were from massaging them and not from tears. Kristen must have known something was up; she's eerily good at doing things like that. She placed her hand on my shoulder, "hey its okay you can thank them at the concert tonight." This whole conversation is incredibly confusing, "What?!" I nearly burst out of my seat. "yeah I got back to the car and Ross was sitting in the drivers seat than, he saw me and came out and said, 'we're having this small gig down town, you think you guys want to come?' and I was like of course we'll come, and I have the address right here." She waved a around a white slip of paper. I just starred at it. Kristen does a really good job of filling you in on what you miss. "So...tonight..." I mumble barley audibly. "Yep!" she smiled. I felt woozy again; I'm going to see R5 again tonight? "So I meant to ask what was Rocky talking about 'goo goo eyes'?" she raised an eyebrow at me. I felt the heat on my face, "I umm... well practically the entire concert I just, sort of gawked at Ross, and I guess Rocky remembers that..."  Kristen laughed "Yeah I don't blame you." She smirked at me, "What?" her grin widened "What?!" I tried not to laugh, "You like him don't you?" she smiled that smug look on her face. My mouth hung a gap I really didn't know how to respond. See the thing is I always loved all of R5, but there always been something about Ross; that I really don't want to get into right now. But I'm not going to deny, at the concert I've never been so love struck in my life. He'd look directly into my eyes and I'd melt, and he'd been jamming out on the guitar and I'd rock out with him. And I'll be honest he tended to look at me a lot, so much that some girls right by the stage turned around to scowl at me. But I always suspected it was because he just liked all the attention I was giving him. But that was it; just a lot of staring. "Well do you?" she asked again. "I guess you can say that..." I tried not to show the grin on my face. Just the thought of that night, the dimmed lights as he sings to me, what do I have to do, looking into his golden eyes, I could just freeze time; it was almost like we where the only two people in the room. The smile grew on my face and I bit my lip. No, No, No Olivia! I shook my head, that was two years ago, it was nothing, ancient history. Kristen put the car into drive and I put my feet down and buckled up. "Why don't we pick up Karalyne, then go out to eat, then we go to the concert?" Kristen asked me, I just nodded, still processing all these feelings.  

            It didn't take very long to get Karalyne; she was ready to go as soon as we got to the dorms, we all got back into the car and drove back to the town, we quickly found a small restaurant that was next to the venue, and got a table for three. The restaurant was quaint and had a truck stop sort of feel to it. Except it was placed directly in the center of Los Angeles and not on some highway, I slid into the red leather fabricated booth seat, and Kristen and Karalyne sat in the one across from me. The LA sun that came in through the window reflected off the glass mosaic lamp that dangled from the ceiling. I scanned through the menu until I found the salads, I would much prefer a burger right now, but I can't have a huge meal and risk falling asleep again.  The waiter took our order then brought us our lemonades; I quickly slurped down the tangy goodness. Our food quickly followed, and I absorbed myself in my salad it wasn't tell I heard Karalyne say "Oh, your narcoleptic?" that I came back to reality.  The two girls stared at me with a chicken wrap in one hand and lemonade in another, "Oh, yes, I am." "Oh, well that's one interesting first impression." She smiled at me; I sort of smiled, wishing I was paying attention to the conversation. "I told her about meeting them today, spacey." Kristen laughed at me. "OH!' I giggled a thank you to Kristen. "Yeah it was, not the usual I suppose..." I rubbed the back of my head. "Have you ever meet R5?" I asked Karalyne. "No, but I'm so excited to meet them today!!"  Her eyes glistened and she smiled brightly. I grinned back then picked at bits of my salad, for some completely utterly stupid reason, I was extremely nervous about meeting R5, even though I meet them twice before... I don't know call it stupid, but, I think... well I never told anyone this... I think I have feelings for Ross Lynch.
