Aloha Aloha ✩ Harry Styles (Editing)

Chapter 3

I fall asleep as soon as I touch my bed in the hotel. Then, I start dreaming. What I dream of today is being alone in a coast. Just me. Maybe just me in many kilometers around. But the water doesn't moves.

It's very still. I turn around, and I just see water. The sand disappeared completely. It's like being in the center of the ocean, but I can stand; just a few centimeters of my feet are wet. And nothing happens.

"If I am going to be here for a while, I won't be standing up," I say to myself.

I try to sit down, but just then, I can't feel the sand floor. My body drops in the water so I start swimming. And I never end swimming.

✩ ✩ ✩

"Harold Edward!" a voice says. Suddenly, I wake up, confused. When I realize that everything was a dream, I also recognize the voice.
"What Louis?" I shout rather than ask.
"Breakfast in Niall and Liam's room!" Louis shouts back.

My hands and back were wet with sweat, but I could still imagine them wet with water. I unlock my phone which was below my pillow and see that I woke up in time. 5:34 am. I lay my head again in the pillow and the alarm programmed for 5:35 am rings.

The blankets were in the floor, so I was only covered by a thin bedsheet. The fan and the air conditioner were on, so I start shivering. I sit down at the edge of my bed, and before I stand up, I grab my charger and connect my phone. 23% of battery wasn't enough for several hours. Then I open twitter and think of something stupid but philosophical. Idea.

"Hi. Looking for gammon, not splinters," I say to myself.

That is not philosophical but... I put it as my bio. Notifications start ringing, so I turn the phone off, as well as every device in the room.

I get out of the room and walk through the hotel hallway, which has some modern decorations; a weird painting, weird flower vases with weird flowers, and weird tables with weird things. More new, more weird. A few concerts ago, I went to a shop for buying a new coat. There was one which had triangles and squares of different colors and sizes spreading all over itself, creating the most eye contamination I have ever seen.

Paul stands besides Niall and Liam's door, reading a newspaper. "Hi," he says.
"Good morning," I reply, smiling. I knock the door of Niall's room 6 times as we always do in hotels to identify we ourselves. Zayn opens the door while drinking a glass of milk, which is half empty.
"Come on! We have pancakes!" he says after finishing another sip of his drink.
"Finally!" I say happily, "I will eat something different from waffles."
"It's the same," Niall says from the coach, in which Liam and him play a game in the TV.
"Never call waffles and pancakes the same," I say, "nor similar."
"That's right Harry," Zayn says, sitting in a chair from the table counter.

I watch Niall and Liam closer and spy they are using some gamecube controllers. I remember always playing with it in the Up All Night tour, but as we have taken more responsibilities, it was left forgotten, until now. I can imagine how much dust have covered it.

"Hey, our gamecube still exists!" I say to them.
"Yeah, we remembered it a couple days ago," Liam says, concentrated in the game.
"I want to play with you our revenge before we go Harry," Niall says looking at the TV screen carefully, "remember?"
"Of course I do!" I say, "I won that time like a king!"
"You cheated," Niall says.
"I played as clean as Zayn's hair," I say.
"Nice," Zayn says as he motions a high five. Then he goes to the window and opens the curtains. He waves and laughs to fans for a few seconds and closes it again.

"They are still offering you pizza!" Zayn says to Niall.
"Like in Italy," Niall remembers.

Then, laughing with the boys, I grab two pancakes from the pan, cover them with maple syrup, and taste them.

"They taste like waffles!" I exclaim, surprised.
"Told ya!" Niall shouts, "Damn Liam!"
"Won ya!" Liam says.
"Oh, don't ya use ya with me," Niall says.
"Who made this?" I ask.
"I did," Louis says getting out from the bathroom showered, he showers really fast, "why?"
"They aren't pancakes! They are just round waffles!" I say smiling.
"Oh! I think I used the waffle recipe," Louis says and cracks up laughing, "sorry. I think they washed up my brain after eating them every single day."
"Whatever. We won't eat waffles in Hawaii," I say sighing happily.
"No, of course not," Liam says.
"Hey, what food does planes offer?" I ask.
"Peanuts maybe?" Niall says laughing.
"That's for second class, we will travel in first class," Louis says raising his pinkie.
"We will travel in second class, Lou," Liam says, obvious.
"Wait, what! I'm to nice for that," he jokes.
"You say you are too nice for first class too," I say.
"Well, what can I tell you? I am very nice," he says.
"Very nice for monkeys, no more," Niall says.
"Lots of love to you too!" Louis says.
"Oh dear!" Niall jokes.
"We should get showered," Zayn says, standing up and laughing.
"You'll leave me alone?" I say sadly.
"I am here for you," Louis says patting my back.
"I think I am going to get showered too," I say, joking.
"Why you gotta be so rude?" he sings.
"Don't you know I'm human too?" Niall sings before entering to the shower.
"Why you gotta be so rude? I'm gonna marry her anyway!" Louis sings, laughing.
"Marry that girl!" Liam and Zayn sing.
"Wait, that means you want to marry Eleanor?" I say to Louis, surprised.
"I love her," Louis says. "That's all I gotta say."
"This may be a musical," Liam say.
"It is, dear James, it is," Louis says with a lady voice.
"What if we sing..."
"I know! I'm gonna swing from the chandelier!" Zayn shouts.
"From the chandelier!" Niall sings and shuts the bathroom door.
"Weren't you going to shower?" I ask to Liam and Zayn.
"Someone's in a bad mood," Liam says.
"I'm in a bad, bad mood; a bad, bad mood!" I sing.
"We'll rate, generate, generate some more!" Zayn sings.
"We must do a show like this!" Liam says.
"We won't sell any ticket," I say, laughing.
"See the positive side," Louis says.
"What is it?" I ask.
"I don't know," he says, grinning.
"Hey, Niall's dancing in the mirror, singing in the shower," I say, everyone knowing what to sing next.

✩ ✩ ✩

Niall gets out of the shower, and still, Liam and Zayn aren't showered. We gather and get to the room's balcony. Hundreds of fans starts screaming louder and louder as we wave and smile. Liam starts pointing at some amazing signs, Zayn grins, Louis makes weird faces, Niall stares surprised, and I just dumbly make signs with my hands to some of them.

"Goodbye!" we all exclaim.

Imagine them singing Chandelier in a concert! That would be so lovely. Oh, and the lyrics "I'm in a bad, bad mood..." comes from the song "Bad Mood" from the Vaccines. The video is pretty funny 😂👌
