A/N: I'm SO SORRY for making you all wait so long! ... if you were waiting... REALLY SORRY. School started and guess what. I have a TON of homework... and I have writer's block, that too. This chapter is kinda short, sorry about that... but I felt bad about not updating in SUCH a long time! Really sorry for that! This is kind of a weird chapter... hope you like it!
"Dude, what are you doing up so late? Or in that case, early…" Jamie yawned.
"Um… well. I couldn't really sleep. Could you sleep?" he asked, blinking his eyes.
"Not really…" Jamie said sleepily, her vision still too blurry to see who it was. But soon it cleared up. "HEY! IT'S YOU! It really is YOU! Wow! I can't believe you're here!" Jamie suddenly shouted, but quickly realized it and dropped down to a whisper, hoping she didn't wake anyone up. Jake was still sleeping, for sure.
"Hey! Heavy sleepers here huh?" he smiled in the dark and hugged Jamie like long lost friends.
"OW," Jamie cried as she pinched herself.
"What is it?"
"Mmm… just pinching myself to make sure this isn't a dream."
"Well?"
"It's definitely not a dream." Jamie giggled.
"Awesome."
"So what's been going on?" Jamie's eyes glittered in the dark, as she closed the door to her room behind her and sat down leaning against a wall in the hall.
"Mm… Not much. Summer went by pretty slow, considering all the stuff I have to write, all of that. We never really took a vacation anywhere over the summer." He sat down next to her.
"Oh… well…" Jamie leaned against him and closed her eyes. They talked a bit more, her head on his shoulder. Suddenly Jamie felt as if for a minute everything was blank.
"Jamie… Jamie… Jamie!" Somebody had shaken her awake.
Jamie blinked and shut her eyes tight immediately. What was with the sun? I thought it was night… Where is that guy? "Mmmm… what happened?"
"Jamie, what are you doing?"
"Jake?" Jamie tilted her head and squinted up at his face.
"Jamie, what are you doing out here?"
She was about to push herself up on her hands, but quickly withdrew them, seeing she was pushing the floor, not her bed.
"Where am I?" she cried, her eyes open wide.
"…Apparently you're in the hallway." Jake kneeled down next to her.
"Why?"
"Why, I don't know. That's what I was going to ask you, Jamie… I just woke up. It's 9 in the morning and I didn't see you in bed. I was going to go to the bathroom or something to look for you but… I guess I didn't need to look any further than the hall…" Jake bit his lip, raising his eyebrow.
"That guy… where's that guy?"
"Maybe you were dreaming, Jamie."
"I wasn't dreaming! I pinched myself! There was this guy… I saw him. When I pinched myself it hurt! I wasn't dreaming, Jake!"
Jake was speechless. "Well… um… maybe… let's just forget about this and go to breakfast with the guys, okay?"
"Fine, but I wasn't dreaming!"
"Hey, what's up?" Zach came out of his room, stretching.
"Jamie was dreaming. She saw this guy and ended up out -"
"I WASN'T DREAMING JAKE!"
"How can you be sure?"
"Well, one, I woke up out here, and two, I PINCHED myself!" Jamie cried of frustration.
"You could have been sleepwalking." Zach suggested.
"How do you explain my pinching myself and hurting!" Jamie shouted, standing up.
"What happened out here?" Aaron peeked out his door, squinting in the sun. Aaron then walked out in baggy pajamas, and tagging along behind him were Pete and Dave.
"What's all the fuss about?" Josh staggered into the hallway and plopped down against the wall next to his door, drifting off into a light sleep. Kevin, who was wide awake, casually walked out and leaned on the closed door, without a word.
"UGH!" Jamie threw her hands up in the air, giving up. All 7 boys watched Jamie stomp into room 5484 and slam the door shut, a piercing sound to each of their ears. A muffled scream rung and hung in the air while the guys stood frozen, blinking innocently. A blanket of silence fell over them.
Suddenly out of the blue, Jamie burst the door open, her teeth clenched together, breathing heavily. After a few seconds she slammed it again, and calmly came back out with clothes in her hand, a smile on her face. Walking past the stone statues, she entered the bathroom and into a stall.
Silence drifted in the air.
"She's freaky," Aaron insisted, "going into the room as mad as … um… steam, and walking out with a grin on her face?"
"Well… at least she's okay now?" Zach suggested.
"NAW! Would she be?" Dave cried, "She could be faking it."
Jake finally piped up. "I guess we should just wait for her then."
Everyone hunched their backs and almost crawled back into their rooms, except for Josh, who was still napping away.
Five minutes later Jake went to check on Jamie.
"What in the world is taking you so long?" Jake hollered, poking his head into the bathroom.
From behind the stall came a voice saying, "I'm CHANGING!"
"Okay, okay… why does it take so long to change? What, you can't decide what to WEAR?" Jake mocked.
"Yeah, SURE," Jamie retorted, half laughing, "What should I wear, huh? You know me…"
"Right… t-shirts and jeans. Forever and ever." Jake quoted, chuckling.
"Actually, choose for me!" Jamie exclaimed, sounding childlike and playful. Jake raised an eyebrow in confusion. "T-shirt and jeans or… t-shirt and jeans? Oh, maybe I'll wear t-shirts and jeans!" Jamie teased.
"I'll go with t-shirt and jeans," Jake howled.
In the 15 minutes following all the guys and Jamie had gotten ready and headed out for breakfast. On the way to the dining building, Jamie had spotted an airplane and cried, "Airplane!" Everyone had looked up to the sky and from behind someone had bumped Jamie.
Looking behind her, she saw nothing but a piece of paper on the concrete.
"Well, what's this?" Jamie said in a playful English accent.
Opening the note, she found that it read I'm the one that talked to you at around midnight. Reading it aloud, her friends turned to look at her quizzically. Repeating it, she realized that she could recognize the handwriting, yet couldn't remember exactly whose handwriting it was.
End Notes: Hope you liked it! MU HU HA HA HA! It's kind of a cliffhanger! At least I think it is... I've gotten a bit hyper... I think I might have finished it up a bit too quick... I need constructive critisism please! Is it good or bad? Please review! Thanks a bunch!
