Dawn Unbroken (One Direction Oneshot)

Dawn Unbroken

Zoe....Zoe....Come here....Zoe....Help....

I sat up in bed, shivering but drenched in sweat.  That is the tenth time I have had that dream this week.  It always starts out the same, with me in a small, closed room, with no way out. I'm claustrophobic by the way.  Then, there is big, bright, light, then all of a sudden, I am not in the room anymore.  And then I hear people saying my name, calling for help.  And that's when I wake up.  Well, it is 6:50 am already, so I guess I could go for a run, I thought.

I got ready in record time for 7 in the morning and went outside.  I put my earbuds in and started listening to Best Song Ever by One Direction.  I started running, and I ran for about 3 miles when I stopped at Dunkin Donuts.  I got a coffee and jelly filled doughnut.  On the way back, I was running around a corner, when I smacked full tilt into someone.  

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," I said as I helped them up off the ground. "Are you ok?" And that's when I saw the persons face.  It was Louis Tomlinson. From One Direction.  And coming up behind him were the rest of them. Harry Styles. Liam Payne. Niall Horan. Zayn Malik.Holy Shit.

"Come on," Harry said as he made it to where we stood, "We have to go.  You too umm what's your name?"

"My names Zoe," I said.  Suddenly there were flashes all around us.

"Hi, Zoe." Harry said, "I know this might seem weird, but you have to come with us.  The fans have spotted you with us and we are about to get mobbed in 3, 2, 1" And right on cue the fans emerged from right where Harry and the others came from.  

"We have to go. Like now." Liam said and started running.  I ran as fast as I could and managed to keep up.  But then we actually got mobbed.  The fans started pouring in from all sides and it feels like we're being hunted.  That's when my claustrophobia kicked in.  Everyone was so close to me.  All the fans.  No room to breathe.  I can't breathe.  No space to move.  Everyone so close.  People scratching me. No familiar faces.  Help. 

Liam and Louis noticed me and dragged me out of the crowd.  I guess I was crying because all of a sudden Louis was handing me a tissue.  They were running and they we pulling me along with them.  We finally made it to an all black SUV and they made me get in first.  Once I was safely inside, they go in and closed the door.  I could tell I was shaking.  I could finally breathe. I took a deep breath in and out.

"Hey," Niall said, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I said, "It happens sometimes.  I'm fine.  Can you guys drop me off at my house?"

"Yeah," Zayn said, "sure"

I told them my address and they dropped me off.  I gave them my number and they gave me theirs.  We said goodbye and I walked into my house.  My mom was making lunch.  

"Hi, honey.  I'm making sandwiches for lunch.  Where have you been?" She asked.

"Oh. I forgot to tell you. I was out with some friends."  I mean, does running away from fans with like the most famous boy band in the world count as being friends?  

"Ok.  Well, your dad is going to be home soon, he's leaving work early because he has a flight to catch." I guess she saw the confused look on my face because she added, "He's going to your grandma's for the weekend."

"Ok.  Can I help?" 

"Sure"

We made sandwiches and my dad came home. We had lunch and my dad told us about his day.  I wasn't really listening, but my dad said something really strange.  

"I heard that the boy band One Direction has been looking for something.  No one knows what, but supposedly ever city they go on tour in, they always go out and look for something."
