Obsession [s.m]

five

-Marie-

I fell asleep at around 7:30pm and slept soundly through the night. I can never sleep in hotel rooms, there's always something about them that makes me uncomfortable and I don't feel safe. I can't explain it but I hate sleeping in hotels but for some reason I felt very comfortable here. Maybe it was because it reminded me of my apartment in New York or if I was tired from the flight.
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.

"Hello?"

I say in my groggy morning voice, my eyes are still closed and I don't know who's on the other line of the call.

"Yo Marie!" 

The voice belongs to my friend Jon, I haven't seen him in years and I missed his voice.

"Jon! Hey, how are you?"

"I'm really good, how are you?"

"I'm good, thanks!"

"Did I wake you up?"

"Yeah haha but it's fine, I was about to oversleep."

"Oh okay haha, anyway I heard you're in London."

I begin to sit up and I put the phone on speaker to throw my hair up into a messy bun on top of my head

"Yeah I am!! I love it here it's gorgeous"

"I'm in London too for a friends concert!"

My heart drops

"...Really!"

I said with sarcastic excitement

"What friend?"

I question if I should have even asked that.

"You know my buddy from back home... Shawn Mendes?"

"Oh yeah, I think i've heard of him."

I lie, I know exactly who he is.

"Well I know you're here for a photoshoot- I think that's what i heard?"

"Yeah that's right haha"

"Anyway he has a show in two days and he said I could invite a friend, you down? There's gonna be a celebration party after and we both know you never pass up a good party."

"Haha!! You know me too well... Lemme check my calendar real quick"

I head over to the calendar on my MacBook, in two days it was Friday, I had off.

"I have off that day... I'll be there!!"

"Great!! He's preforming at the O2, you can get there around 4:30pm and we can all chill backstage."

"Okay sounds great- Oh wait! I'm here with Madison, can she come too?"

"Mad Dawg! Hell yes!"

"Alright cool."

"See you Friday."

"See you then."

I run into Madison's room and jump on her bed.

"MADISON! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY."

"WHAT. WHAT IS IT"

She sprung out of bed.

I guess that wasn't the best way to wake her up... she runs around her room in a frantic motion looking for her glasses that were on her bedside table. She puts her glasses on and pauses looking at me waiting for me to speak.
