How To Fall Asleep (SUish)

AN: Just friends days. 2014-ish. just a cute oneshot.

--

James rolled to his other side, forcing his eyes closed. He really needs to sleep. Now.

He peeked through his blanket and groaned when he saw it was already 2:00 AM. He really couldn't understand himself sometimes. He was dead tired with all JaDine's activity but his body just refused to sleep.

'Great. Really great. What a way to start the year.'

He knew he really needs to rest; to sleep even just for a bit. He has a flight tomorrow—later at 7:00 AM and a schedule at 9:00 AM. He needed to find a way to sleep. He only has four more hours to go.

He sighed. He tried everything.

He counted some fan letters earlier substituting for sheep. It didn't work.

He then went to the kitchen and got himself some hot milk, urging sleep to come, but to no avail.

He even tried reading Nadine's photography book he found on the sofa because reading always makes him drowsy. But what it did was just hurt his eyes and give him headache with all those technical photography jargons.

So now he was stiff in his bed, with his head throbbing, forcing his aching eyes close and wishing for sleep to please please please take him and give him some rest.

He sat up. He really couldn't sleep.

He tried stretching. Maybe there were too many stresses in his body. He needs to relax. He tried lying on his bed again.

Nothing really changed.

He looked at his clock again. 2:34 AM. Geez. Why did he have to have insomnia right now???

And he'd thought going to his friend's birthday on the 30th of December, going to endorsement shoots and the New Year Countdown on the 31st, going out with his friends on the 1st of January, going to his Aunt's birthday celebration on the 2nd, and recording for his new album for half the day, having a 1 hour flight and going to different interviews with Nadine the other half on the 3rd would make him crash tonight and have a dreamless sleep.

Well, he was dreamless, alright, but he was sleepless as well.

He gave up trying to force himself and stood up.

'Well, they did say that if you can't sleep, the remedy is to stop trying.'

He was currently in a rest house shared by him, his dad, Nadine and their RMs because they were in Dakak. It was a very big with four rooms.

He went to the veranda but immediately went back their suite because of the cold.

He sighed again. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to sleep but someone up there was bullying him and now he's bored.

He then saw the piano in the middle of the living room.

He shrugged and decided to play for a bit. Playing does make him relax. Maybe this could help him somewhat.

He started playing All My Life. It was one of his favorite pieces.

He immediately relaxed at the feel of the keys and the sound that it made.

Still, he wasn't sleepy.

'Maybe I'll just give up on that. I'll just wing it tomorrow.'

He started playing random tunes, trying to play songs just by guessing the keys.

But suddenly, the door to one of the other rooms opened and someone approached him.

James stopped playing. It was Nadine.
