The lanky man with the too big of a nose wakes up and rubs his brown puppy dog eyes. He stretches his arms and runs his hand through his dark brown hair with a blond patch. He gets out of his bunk and makes his way to the front of the bus to find that no one is up yet which makes sense since it’s early in the morning.
This man’s name is Jack Barakat, and he is tired as fuck. He hasn’t been getting sleep for the last three days. Every time that he attempts to go to sleep, he starts having the same dream about this girl. He doesn’t know what she looks like other than she has brown hair. He never sees the front of her, he only gets to see the back, and he doesn’t know why he is having this dream, but he ends up waking up after only a couple of hours of sleep when she is about to turn around.
Jack yawns and fixes himself a bowl of Cookie Crisp. He doesn’t care how many times Alex tells him how unhealthy it is. No one will take away his Cookie Crisp. He eats bite after bite and almost falls asleep a couple of times. He really can’t wait for all of those dreams to end. It’s hard to jump around like crazy on stage when you can barely stay away just to play a song. If it wasn’t for the fact that he’s lost sleep on tour before, he wouldn’t be able to play any song at all.
When the bowl is empty, he cleans everything up and grabs a movie to watch. He had checked the time and knows that everyone won’t be up for some time. They’re the ones that been helping him stay awake. When they are up, he can focus on something that has no chance of putting him to sleep. Until they are up, he’s going to just have to settle with a movie. He goes back into his bunk and gets the movie ready on his laptop, so he can put his headphones in. He doesn’t want anyone else to suffer with lack of sleep like he is.
Jack gets about a third into the movie when his body just can’t take it anymore. His eyelids slowly slip shut, and he’s drifting away to the world that the girl lives in.
The lanky man opens his eyes and sits up. He looks down at his body to find that he is dressed in a pair of black shorts, sneakers, jacket, and a white T-shirt. His change in clothing doesn’t matter that much to him when he finally looks and sees where he is. He’s in a valley. The grass is green and healthy, and the tips are bent over from the breeze that is also blowing some of the man’s hair.
His attention falls upon the scene in front of him. The sun is just making it’s way up. The sky is painted with oranges and streaks of yellows. In all of his life, he has never seen such a sunrise. It’s stunning. It’s as if some famous artist had taken a ladder and painted the sky himself. It’s completely mesmerizing, and he stares at it until he hears a voice in the distance.
Jack doesn’t really question the singing voice. He has this urge to go and follow it. He gets up and starts to walk in the direction of it. For Jack, he feels like the valley never ends, but his legs are not hurting and he is not tired.
The puppy dog eyed man finally reaches a giant rock in what is probably the middle of the valley. On top of this stone is this girl from his other dreams. Her back is facing him again, but she is wearing something different. Her outfit isn’t just skinny jeans and an unknown band shirt. She’s wearing something white. It looks like it’s a sleeveless white dress that is probably long and flowing. Jack looks down at himself to find that his outfit is different. He’s now wearing a button up dress shirt, jacket, and dress pants. Just like before, this doesn’t phase him.
He starts to climb his way up the rock. He can’t help himself. The voice is calling to him. Jack listens to her voice as he makes his way up and starts to sing along. The song is one of theirs, but he can’t even think of what song it is. His mind to too focused on singing along, climbing the rock, and just how beautiful her voice is. He wouldn’t be surprised if she sprouted wings and flew away as if she was some kind of angel.
Jack finally reaches the top where the girl is sitting on the other end. He crawls over to her and puts his hand on her shoulder. The girl starts to turn around to face him. Just a little bit more and he will be able to see the face of the mysterious girl. Her hair is just barely in the way now...
The lanky man wakes up and sees the caramel eyes of his best friend, Alex looking down at him. Jack starts to sit up and feels the tiredness overtake him again. Once again, he was unable to get the sleep that he craved because of a dream.
“How long were you out?” the brunette friend asks.
“Long enough that I shouldn’t be this tired,” Jack answers.
Alex sighs. “Was it that dream again?”
The lanky man starts to nod, but stops. “Well, she was in it, but it was different.”
“May I come in?” Jack scoots over, so his friend has enough room to sit as well. It’s a good thing that these bunks can fit two people. Alex closes the curtain before turning back to Jack. “Do you want to tell me what happened in it?”
For the past couple of days, Alex is the only person that Jack has actually told his dream. He may be friends with everyone else, but Alex and him have always had this bond where they can tell each other anything. Whenever anyone else asks, he just tells them that he’s been getting these dreams that wake him all, and if they ask further, he just shrugs it off and tells them that it’s nothing important.
“I woke up in this valley. The sun was setting, and it was the most beautiful setting sun that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. After staring at it for a little bit, I started to hear this angelic voice singing. I don’t question. I just have this feeling that I need to get to the source. I walk for what feels like forever even though I wasn’t tired and my legs didn’t hurt. I finally reached what was probably the middle of the valley, and there was this big rock there. On top was the girl. She wasn’t wearing what she normally wears though. She’s wore this long, sleeveless, white dress. I looked down at myself to find that I was dressed up too. I had a button up dress shirt, a jacket, and dress pants on. I started to climb up the rock, and as I did, I started to sing along with her. I recognized it as one of our songs, but I can’t think of which one because my mind is overwhelmed. When I got to the top, I climbed over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. She started to turn around to face be, but I didn’t get to see her face because I woke up.”
“Wow. Well, you almost got to see her face though, and you heard her voice, so that’s progress, right?”
“I guess.”
“I wonder what’s going to happen when you finally do get to see her face.”
“I just hope that it will just go away. These dreams are driving me crazy.”
“Maybe if we figure out what they mean, we can get them to stop. Dreams are suppose to give us messages or help us survive is something happens.”
“But I don’t have a clue what this means.”
“Maybe it’s telling you that you needs to find some hot brunette and not a blonde,” Alex chuckles.
“That’s not funny.”
“Well, what if it means that you need to find a girlfriend though, or maybe it’s a sign that you’re going to be finding your future girlfriend soon.”
“You know how I am about relationships.”
“Yeah, and maybe it’s telling you that you need to be more like me and actually get a girlfriend.”
“I’m not sure. I feel like it’s more of a message that’s telling me to find this girl.”
“She might not even be real though.”
“I know, but I have this feeling that she is.” Jack pauses and takes his phone out.
“What are you doing?”
“Maybe the fans have some advice.”
He gets on his twitter.
“Can anyone figure out what my dream means. There is a girl but I can’t see her face yet but I can hear her and I keep having this dream”
Jack gets some replies that tell him that he needs to meet them because the girl must be them, but he just knows that it’s not them. One of the replies is a question though.
“When did you start having this dream?”
Jack starts to get curious and replies back. He expects this person to reply again, but they don’t. Jack goes to look at their name. Moon Rock. He’s knows that that isn’t the name of the girl, but it feels like it has something to do with her. He decides to remember it for reference. For all he knows, he might get another clue in his dreams. Well, if he wants to go to sleep again because he doesn’t. He’s about ready to give up and say “what’s the point?” He feels like it’s never going to end. These dreams are really starting to make him crazy...

Notes

This is what's starting to happen to Jack. I've also decided what days I will be updating my stories. This story will be on Tuesday. Well, it's technically Wednesday where I'm at, but I didn't want to update during the day because one of my friends came over. The next chapter is going to go back to Selene and I'm going to be going back and forth until the time comes when I can have a chapter with them both in it. Sorry in advance for Selene's chapters because I feel like they will be more filler than Jack's. Her's will be more into her life until later. I want to stretch this story and not rush it like I do sometimes.
Anyway, hope you enjoyed.
