In Your Dreams

Chapter 11

I frantically bang on Eilidh's door. When it opens suddenly, I practically fall inside. Eilidh thankfully catches me before I fall to the ground.

"God, took you long enough, I was starting to get worried!" she exclaims.

Between pants, I manage to stutter out something. "Jessica... wall... choked... me..."

Eilidh's eyes widen and she drags me to her bedroom. "Explain."

I close my eyes and take a deep breath before opening my mouth. "After we went our separate ways, I walked around the corner and Jessica attacked me." I pause and Eilidh motions for me to go on. "She held me by my throat against the wall and I thought I was going to pass out. I couldn't breath Eilidh..."

"That bitch! Give me a baseball bat, I'll go round there right now!" I look at her completely serious expression and chuckle to myself.

"Somehow, I don't think that will help the situation. Then she told me that if I ever stood up to her again, that she would hurt me. When she left I couldn't find the strength to get up, so I just lay there until Nathan came along."

Eilidh raises her eyebrows at me. She knew that in the past, I had had a little crush on Nathan. I couldn't help it if he was incredibly good-looking and nice. That got me daydreaming about him and his soft brown eyes and his messy brown hair that always seemed to look perfect.

Eilidh waves her hand in front of my face to snap me out of my daydream. She smirks at me but I just shrug it off.

"So what did you and Nathan talk about? Or didn't you do much talking?" she stifles a laugh.

I just roll my eyes at her. "Well I did a lot of crying," I admit.

Eilidh shakes her head at me with a slight smile on her face. "Did you tell him that his psycho girlfriend attacked you? Bet he would dump her ass after that."

I shake my head sadly. "Maybe I should have, but that would just give Jessica an excuse to actually kill me."

Eilidh's lips form a firm line. "If she so much as touches you again, you tell me okay? I'm not scared of her and she will regret everything she's ever done to you."

I wrap my arms around Eilidh's shoulder. "I'm so lucky to have a friend like you." She just hugs me back and doesn't say a word.

My phone buzzes on my bedside cabinet. Who the hell calls at seven in the morning? I didn't have to get up for another half hour.

"Hello?" I answer groggily.

"Hi, Rebecca?" a female voice replies.

I let out an exasperated sigh. What did this person want and why is she bothering me at this time in the morning? "Yes?" I say quite angrily.

"Sorry for bothering you so early in the morning, but I just wanted to inform you about something rather important."

What? This woman didn't even know my name, now she wants to inform me about something? "Oh really? And what might that be?"

"Well I suppose you remember entering a contest to meet One Direction in New York?" The voice sounded smug, almost as though she knew I would be nicer to her over the phone.

"Yes, I do remember," I reply trying to keep my voice calm.

"Well I am glad to inform you that you are our lucky winner of the competition!" she exclaims through the phone.

My eyes widen and I'm pretty sure that the woman would have to get a hearing aid because I might have just burst her ear drum screaming down the phone. "OH MY GOD! ARE YOU SERIOUS?"

"Yes, quite," the lady says unhappily.

That's when I get out of bed and start doing a happy dance all around my room. "AAAAH! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!"

There is a silence on the other end of the phone. Just when I think that she's hung up, she starts to speak. "Well, I would just like to remind you of a few little things, just incase you didn't read the terms and conditions." There is a pause. What is she talking about? Of course I didn't read all of them, just the basics. "You will recieve four round-trip tickets to New York from your nearest airport. You must be accompanied by someone over eighteen, if you are not already eighteen. You will get to meet the boys and also see them perform. Also you will be supplied witha two night stay in a hotel and recieve a Delia's fahsion haul."

I squeal down the phone at the thought of meeting One Direction. "Yes, that's great thank you!"

"We will email you with more details later on in the day. Have a nice day now, goodbye."

She hung up  before I could say bye. I had to go and phone Eilidh.

"Hello?" she grumbles.

A smile is spread across my face. "Guess what, Eilz!?"
