Ashley sighed and continued to look out the window.
Later that night after the concert Taylor stood in the door way looking at every girl in the corner,
trying to look for the one that he could remember as Isaac and Zac signed autographs. Taylor finally gave up
and walked into the room where he was surounded by fans. After quickly signing autographs, the boys were
rushed back to of the room to their hotel rooms where they cleared out their things and headed to the
airport.
As they boarded the plane Isaac whispered to Taylor.
“Are you ok? I mean, you’ve hardly talked today.”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Taylor said sitting down and Isaac sat down next to him. Taylor pushed his chair back and
fell asleep before anyone could say the plane was moving.
“Dad, I’m sleepy. I’m gonna go to bed.” Ashley said standing up.
“Ok, night sweety.” He replied.
“Night.” She said and went to her room. Closing the door slowly she yawned. She walked over to her
dresser, and taking out her money from her pocket she set it on her dresser and walked back over to her
bed. Without even taking the time to undress she slipped off her shoes and got into bed, quickly falling
asleep.
*Ashley and Taylor’s Dream*
In a dark room they stood. Everything around them was frozen. The people around them stopped.
Taylor reached out his hand and took hers.
“Where am I?” A muffled voice coming from Ashley’s direction asked.
“I don’t know.” Another muffled voice replied from Taylor’s direction. They couldn’t see each other’s faces or
actually hear their voices. They could only read in their minds what they were saying. Ashley tried to reach
up to touch his face, but instead of touching his soft hair, her hand disappeared. She quickly took her hand
away and looked back up at him.
“Who are you?” She asked in a muffled voice. He tried to tell her but couldn’t.
“I can’t tell you. Who are you?” He asked in a muffled voice.
She couldn’t say her own name.
“Where are you from?” He asked. Again she couldn’t say.
“It wont let me say.”
“Why am I having this dream? Is this supposed to mean something?”
“Why are you having this dream. Why am I?”
“I don’t want to wake up.”
“I don’t either.”
Suddenly it started getting darker.
“DON’T LEAVE!” he yelled and shot up in his chair.
“WAIT!” She screamed and shot up in her bed.
Isaac looked over at Taylor scared as Taylor stood up.
“Wait. Where did she go?” He asked Isaac.
“What, where did who go?” Isaac replied.
“I don’t know, but she talked to me. She’s having the same dream.”
“Tay, are you ok?”
“I’m fine. I have to go back to sleep!” He lied back down but couldn’t sleep. The morning sun and the roaring
or the jets were too loud, and kept him awake.
“God. Don’t do this to me!” Taylor growled.
Ashley screamed in frustration. She couldn’t go back to sleep. The sunlight was streaming into her
eyes. She threw the blankets over her head, but it was no use. The phone rand and she slowly picked it up.
“Hello?”
“Hey, you ready?” It was Sarah.
“Um, almost. Let me get dressed.”
“Ok, I’ll be down in a little bit.”
“Ok, Bye.”
“Bye.”
She hung up and got out of bed. Walking over to her closet she took out her black jeans and her red v-neck tee shirt and got dressed. She slipped her shoes on and then quickly brushed her hair. She glanced over to her clock, it was 2:00pm. Even though the dream seamed like 5 seconds, it was 15 hours.
Ashley picked up her wallet and left her room. A horn honked and she opened the door. It was
Sarah. She waved and closed the door quickly running over to the white van and jumping in.
“Hi. You sure do sleep long.” Sarah laughed.
“Yeah, well, I wanted to rest up.”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea.”
The van drove away from the house and onto the high way where they would be at the hotel in 4 hours. Just in time to see Hanson as the drove in on their tour bus to check in and stay for the night.
