Creating My Dreams•A BYE Fanfic

Chapter 8

Toby's POV:

"Goodnight and sweet dreams goldfish." I say smiling and winking. I disconnect the chat so I can leave on a good note.

Sam and I talked alone for over an hour and we found out that we have a lot in common, well besides our addiction to Starbucks. I think that this tour is going to be the best one yet.

I get up from the couch and connect the laptop back to the recording doc in the back room. When I come back out, Riley and Connor are waiting for me. They both have their arms crossed and have an eager look on their faces. I guess they want to find out how they did playing matchmaker...

"Oh hey," I say casually walking past them to my bunk. "What's up?"

""What's up!??" Connor says. When I give him a blank stare, he says,"oh you know..."

"Nope... I really don't..." I say.

"Oh come on Toby! We heard you enjoying yourself the whole time! Don't even try to deny it!" Riley chimes in.

"Okay. So what if I did enjoy myself? Is that so bad?" I say trying to defend myself.

"Oh so you did enjoy yourself!" Connor says pleased.

"Yeah I'm not gonna lie..."

"Okay that's all I needed to know." Connor walks past me and gets into his bunk. Before closing the curtain he says,"Goodnight and sweet dreams goldfish" and winks. I blush.

"Oh goldfish ehhh...." Riley says when I blush. He laughs and goes into the bathroom to take a shower.

Okay that's embarrassing...

"Okay Toby you can go to bed now. Were done with questions!"Connor says with his curtain still closed.

"Ugh... Oh my god just stop!" Connor just laughs his head off so I slide his curtain open and whap him on the head with his pillow.

After getting my revenge I get undressed and go to bed. But I won't be surprised if it takes awhile to fall asleep.

Sam's POV:

Today is finally Thursday, the day I leave for Florida. Monday and Tuesday I went to school to finalize everything and I got to say my goodbyes to my friends.Wednesday I spent the whole day with my family and my grandparents since they weren't able to make it to the party.

Right now I'm loading everything onto my tour bus with the help from Rhian, which doesn't happen much. Once I'm done I grab all of my school stuff so I can work on it on the ride to Florida. I make sure I have everything several times and search for my laptop and phone chargers along with my ear buds. Every time I go anywhere I always forget one of those things.

When Gary arrives he talks about the final plans with my parents while I hang out with my sister in my room. Although I complain about her about every second of everyday, I'm going to miss her a lot.

"Sam its time to leave!" My dad shouts. Rhian and I grab my last few bags and go downstairs to where my mom, dad and Gary are waiting for me. My mom is tearing up. She has been all day. This will be the longest amout of time we will be separated by far. I just go up to her and give her a hug saying, "come on mom. I'm gonna be fine!"

We walk out to the tour bus and once everything is loaded, I come back out. I give hugs to my family and Gary. Gary is coming with me but he is coming separately and arriving on Sunday.

"Okay we better get going!" Rick my bus driver says from the front seat.

"Okay honey. Be careful, good luck and have fun! We'll miss you so much!" My mom says giving me a final hug. I let go and hop on my bus. As we drive away I put in my ear buds and look out the window. My dreams are coming true starting now...

**************************************

I've been on the road for 5 of the 16 hour drive. Its not that bad actually since I love long car rides. Whenever I would go on vacation, I would stick my ear buds in and get list in the music, and I would never want the drive to end. But this time it's better. I can play my music loudly throughout the whole bus and the driver won't even hear it, and if he does he could care less. Ricks been doing this kind of job for years so I guess you get used to it.

So far all I've done is look out the window, clean up a little bit, and do some homework since my teachers don't think a person canake a living from singing, therefore loading me with extra work on top if what was already assigned for the two months. I just hope I have enough time to do it all.

But now I'm getting ready to go to bed for the first time in my RV and for the first time officially on tour. By the time I wake up I'll be less than two hours away from Orlando and the boys!

**************************************

When I wake up, its 8:00 on Friday morning. Gary told me I would arrive in Orlando at about 10 so that gives me a couple hours to prepare myself.

I'm pretty nervous again, but I won't go and hyperventilate. I've been freaking out so much lately I guess I've gotten used to it!

But anyway I am scared to go and meet the boys face to face, even Toby a little even though I was talking to him for so long. By the way, I kind of wanted to talk to them again before I arrived but I'll be seeing them soon so I guess it's too late. Im also afraid of messing up and disappointing them since they chose me over other people who were probably better than me.

But Gary, the best guy in the world, knew this would happen. So before I left Chicago, he bought me several cups of Starbucks coffee to keep in my refrigerator for "later use", which would be right now.

So I get dressed into something not too fancy but not too casual and sip away at my fears and "what if's." But before I know it, Rick calls out "were here!" And my heartbeat goes wild.
