The Girl Next Door

Chapter 20

Taylor's POV

I couldn't stop screaming. I don't know why, but it was like I wasn't controlling my body. I let out one last shriek, but then I was awake, in my hotel room. Niall was up and watching TV with the rest of the boys.

"God, Taylor, you scream a lot." Louis said.

"Yeah, what were you dreaming about?" Harry said with a smug face.

"W-what?" I said, flustered. The boys laughed at me.

"Niall, we did go to Nandos today, right?"

"Yup, but then you saw Abigail and we came back here."

"Um, was Louis talking to a guy in all black?"

"No, when we got home you passed out because of the running and I had to carry you."

"Wait, I remember going up the elevator with you though?"

"We talked about the tour, and then Abigail was coming down the street. We started running, and then you passed out. You just dreamed that."

"W-what? It was all a dream?" Then, I started smiling. Smiling turned into laughing.

"It was all just a dream! A terrible dream!"

I walked up to Niall and planted a huge kiss on his lips.

"Oh, thank God it was all a dream."

"Taylor, are you alright?" Zayn spoke while laughing.

"I'm better than alright, I'm great!"

I danced in front of the TV and the boys laughed at me again.

"Ey! You're in the way!" Louis shouted. I walked back over to the bed and plopped down.

"I should call Abigail," I uttered to myself.

"Now she's talking to herself, maybe we need a mental asylum." Louis said. I giggled and dialed Abigail's number. Sure, we weren't still friends but I remember it after calling her every day in elementary school.

"Hello?" Abigail's voice spoke.

"Oh, Abigail. It's so great to hear your voice."

"What? Taylor, is that you?"

"Yes! And it's you, on the end of the line. Oh my God are you okay?"

"What? Taylor, are you okay?"

"I'm great, knowing you're alive!"

"I thought you hated me, wait- what?"

"Look, I had a dream that this guy was going to kill you but then you both got ran over and then you died and-"

"Taylor, slow down. Is that why you called me?"

"I called to say this fighting non-stop is foolish. I think we should be friends again. At least try to."

"Um, how about dinner at Panda Express?"

"Sounds great, see you in half an hour?"

"I'm game."

"Great, I'll see you then."

"Bye Taylor."

"See you!"

I hung up the phone and held it to my chest.

After putting the phone down, I came to my senses. My body was throbbing and I was overheated. My clothes stuck to my body from sweat. I decided to wash off before I met up with Abigail.
