His footsteps echoed throughout the stone corridor as thoughts chased each other around in circles in his mind.
What was he doing here? Where was Kendall?
He should have been out of here by now but the hallway seemed endless.
James was lost. He finally decided to turn and stop in front of a door, but it was gone. He continued walking until he reached another door, but it had vanished, too. What was happening to him? Was he going crazy?
All he wanted was to go home to see him love. Was that too much to ask for?
James ached to be in his lovers' arms again, snuggled up together in their bed. It was warm and cozy, unlike this awful castle that James was trapped inside of. He was beginning to get very distressed.
He threw up his hands in exasperation. "What the hell do you want from me?!" James cried.
"Hey, James," a voice called.
James spun around in search of the source of the voice. He sat bolt upright in bed.
"James? Are you okay?" Kendall asked him.
James was back home, in bed, with his love.
"Oh, Kendall," He cried. He threw himself into Kendall, sobbing in distress.
"Shh..." Kendall said softly. "Another nightmare?" He asked.
"Yes," James wailed into his chest. He was just so happy to be back home with Kendall and out of that awful place.
"What was it this time?" Kendall asked quietly.
"It was, it was the same one. The huge castle, and I'm all alone, walking through the endless hallway. Every door I try to open disappears and I know that you're not with me at all. It's one of the worst dreams I ever get," he moaned. He was so upset and confused that he only cried harder into Kendall's shoulder.
"Okay, Diamond, I'm too worried about you. You've been having these nightmares for two weeks now, every single night," Kendall said, stroking James' hair tenderly. "I think it's high time we go and pay a visit to Luke and Lydia," he suggested.
"Okay," James mumbled. "Good," Kendall said. "Why don't you get dressed, and while I fix you breakfast I'll call Luke and set up an appointment with Lydia for, hopefully today, all right?" He asked.
James nodded.
Kendall kissed his forehead and left the room.
James' skin was still burning where he had been kissed by the time he had dragged himself into the kitchen. He had dressed in dark blue denim skinny jeans, a plain white v-neck, and neon Osiris shoes. Kendall was making eggs and sausage but James wasn't hungry. He was too freaked out by his dream to eat anything, but he knew that Kendall wouldn't let him go without breakfast.
Kendall slid a plate in front of James and tossed him a fork.
"Here, eat," Kendall ordered. James obediently did so and forced the food down his mouth. As he endured the torture, he heard Kendall speaking on the phone to one of his old friends.
"Luke! Hey buddy, what's up?" Kendall sounded really happy on the phone and James' lips quirked slightly. "I'm doing great. I was calling to see if Lydia had any open slots today, to maybe sneak in an appointment for James today, he is having all kinds of nightmares, the same ones every week, and they aren't going away. Can you check?" Kendall paused, waiting a reply. "Really? Now? Okay, great, we'll be there in ten. Thank you so much bro! I owe you one!" Kendall clicked the receiver off and rushed over to James.
"Hurry up Jay-Jay, Luke said she has an appointment at 12:30 and it is only 11:30. If we get there now we can meet with her so, let's go, I know you're not hungry," Kendall said. James nodded and they dashed out the door.
