Alex
It’s really unbelievable that I’m in this current situation. I’m lying in this massive, comfortable bed in one of the best hotels in Melbourne and I can’t sleep, like at all. To be completely fair it’s not all my bodies fault because I want to sleep, but Katelyn is snoring like a maniac, as usual.
And I need sleep tonight like I’ve never needed sleep before in my life; tomorrow is going to be a weird day to say the very least, I have the opportunity to meet a band that changed my life in so many ways. Yes I’m talking about One Direction. They brought me and my best friend – Katelyn – together in a way that we hadn’t been before, and we got to meet our other hotel roommate – Naks – because of them.
We were your typical ‘carrot’ fans at first – we would sit on twitter and get shipped almost every day to see if people would pair us with our favourites, and we would worship the ground they walked on – and then we grew up. Katelyn and I are almost twenty years old now, weird I know but it is happening whether we like it or not. Naks has grown up before our eyes as well, she’s going to be 18 in May and the worst part? She’s taller than both of us.
I digress. We aren’t as involved in the fandom as we used to be but we got given this amazing opportunity and we had to take it. The opportunity I’m talking about is getting to meet the band – and not just like hi let’s have a hug and then you have to leave, I mean we get to sit and have an actual conversation with them.
I’m not entirely sure what I’ll even say to them to be honest; hopefully I won’t make a complete fool out of myself.
Naks
“Hey Alex, you awake?”
The amount of noise that one person can make while asleep will astound you. Actually let me reconsider that, because the noises coming out of Katelyn’s mouth are inhuman right now.
“Yeah Naks I am, but like barely.”
“Please tell me there’s a way to get her to stop this incessant snoring!”
“Look babe I’m sorry to disappoint you but you’ll just have to pretend it isn’t happening. I’m going to try and get some sleep, ear plugs you know? But feel free to throw something at her if it gets any worse.”
Is this girl really going to sleep through this bullshit? I can’t believe it, well no I can because Alex is a pretty deep sleeper but that’s totally beside the point! I feel somewhat betrayed that she’s leaving me alone in this dark room to fend off the snores of Katelyn all by my lonesome. Perhaps there is more than a little theory to Alex’s words; yes folks I’m going to arm myself.
Katelyn
Oh my god is this happening right now? Is Zayn leaning towards me, and tilting his head, and closing his eyes, and puckering his lips? OH MY GOD IT IS HAPPENING I AM FROZEN WHAT THE HELL DO I DO?!
“MOTHER FUCKER WHAT IS THIS STABBING PAIN IN THE SIDE OF MY BODY? ALEX? NAKS? CALL TRIPLE ZERO I THINK SOMETHING’S WRONG.”
Why is it when you’re having the world’s most perfect dream you always wake up before the world’s most perfect moment can actually take place? Brain why you do this to me huh? Have I not been good to you? No but seriously what is this random pain in my side and why can I hear… giggling?
“Sorry Katelyn I totally threw something at you, your snoring was keeping me awake and I wanted you to experience some pain as well.”
“Oh wow Naks, that’s so sweet and caring and kind and nice of you.”
“I know I’m the nicest person to ever exist in this world aren’t I? Can you just let me fall asleep and then once I’m asleep start snoring again?”
“I’ll see what I can do for you, no promises.”
Now that I’ve got some time to think and revisit my dream I can’t believe it. I haven’t dreamt about Zayn in that way for absolute ages, but I guess because of what’s happening tomorrow my old crush is rekindling. I’m not delusional though; I know what happened in my dream could never possibly come true, and I’m content with that fact.
