I woke up and didn't recognise where I was, it seemed as if I was in a ballroom like area with the light sparkling like fairies floating about casually, it was enchanting the big ballroom was almost pulling me to the centre of it.
My eyes opened as I realised it was only a dream and I awoke to be in the same room as I was the night before, it was David's room. I looked around and saw David was asleep on the sofa I thought to myself and realised I must of fell asleep while watching the movie, I turn to look at the clock and see that it is only 7am. I get up and cant help but feel guilty while seeing how I pretty much kicked David out of his own bed. I walked over to the door ready to go to my own room.
"Where are you going? I hear Bowie say in a deeper voice than usual making it obvious he had only just woken up.
" oh just back to my room."
"why?"
"Oh well I feel a bit bad staying any longer."
"Come on chérie you've already slept in my bed the whole night no point leaving now."
David was looking at me while talking, I couldn't believe he wanted me to stay with him.
"oh well I can stay if you want me to."
"Yes, yes stay."
_
It had been a few hours now and Me and David had just been talking for the whole time. He is quite easy to talk to he's not one of those people who you get awkward silence with. David was now getting ready for a meeting he had to have so I would be left alone so I decided to go get ready myself to go for a walk through the beautiful town we were staying in.
Once I was ready I said bye to David and went to explore the town, I roamed the streets, looked inside of shops and found small parks with birds chirping and children playing happily. It was truly beautiful it was like some magical place out of a fantasy movie, its like one of those places only visible to those who were gifted with the sight to see such beauty, for England this was like a fairy tale town especially compared to other towns like Grimsby, Luton, Aylesbury and so many more horrible towns. I carried on walking and I ended up walking through a random field that seemed to stretch its glorious curtain of green grass as far as the eyes could see, it was full of wildlife and was able to go grow freely which was almost like a breath of fresh air after having been in New York for so long, I look around at my surroundings and made sure to really take them in, it was peaceful.. almost too peaceful like it is inescapable it was peaceful in a way that could make you feel uncomfortable as if someone was going to come out at you at any minute, but I carried on walking through the silent field where all you could hear was the bird chirping from afar and I enjoyed the nature around me which I hadn't had the option to do so since being in New York for so long. As I carried walking through the overgrown wilderness I felt the sky start to slowly spit down onto me, it felt like drops of liquid gold glazing my skin. I carried on roaming the airy field feeling the comfort of the warm rain wrap me in a blanket as the wind started pushing and pulling against it making the droplets of water come down heavier making the nature of the rain seem as if it was starting to knives down on me almost as if it were on purpose to harm me, I decided to turn back before it was too late and as I slowly started to ascend backwards I turned at the first strike of lighting only to see an all too familiar face in the distance, the face I couldn't forget, the face that kept me in an ongoing trance, the face that would never leave my head. It was my own mother. I take a sharp breath in, I wanted to run but my legs wouldn't move it was like they were glued like my eyes were glued onto her. Then the second strike of lightning came down making the sky erupt into a burst of light and dim back down once it had attacked, I blinked due to the sudden startle of lightning I didn't expect and I opened my eyes to see no one there... was I going crazy? or is this a nightmare? maybe even a trick? Whatever it was it made me run. Run to the comfort of the hotel I had only found refuge in for less than 24 hours yet it gave me more comfort than I could need to escape from whatever I saw out there.
I ran into my hotel room, I wanted to throw up or just get into a ball and sob, sob my eyes out but I didn't i held it all in. I felt my emotions build up and i wanted desperately to let them out but I didn't i kept them in. I walked over to the bin that i had chucked the note my mother had left and i grabbed the note and put it into my bag. I decided its best to keep the note just in case. I then sat down and put the small tv on and watched something, waiting until David came back, I'm not sure why i was waiting for him maybe to seek comfort in him or to tell him all about what happened. Or maybe i just needed a friend..

David's POV
a few hours earlier
Y/N had just left to go for a walk and explore the town. I then left for my meeting which i wasn't excited for it but it had to be done since it was a meeting for live aid which was like a week away now. I drove over to the meeting and walked towards where my band should be. The whole band was there except for backing vocals since we weren't even sure on what songs we were singing yet. We all started talking about costumes and music pretty much as soon as i arrived, which i was sort of glad for since it meant they were enthusiastic which could make this process a whole lot easier.
-
A bit of time had passed and we had finally figured out the costume and we were onto picking our songs, i took a glance outside only to see a strike of lightning go down, everyone's heads turned to look at it. I turned back at everyone to see their confused faces.
"Its not forecasted rain, or lightning for that matter." Armstrong said.
"Ye.. Hm maybe they predicted wrong. I mean they do that an awful lot." Claire replied
" Ye they aren't good at predicting storms." Armstrong agreed.
They all turned back to each other and started talking amongst themselves about song ideas but my head faced the window part of me feeling unsettled and the other half worrying if Y/N was still out in that storm. I hoped she went back to the hotel after the first drop of rain as i don't want her getting hurt.
I must of been so lost in my worrying thought that i didn't notice the rest of the band calling my name over and over again.
"David? Bowie? Hello, Earth to Bowie"
"Oh yes sorry."
"Are you okay? If your worried about the rain I'm sure it will die out soon."
"Oh no just..." I paused. " I haven't seen thunder in England for awhile." I lied, trying to make it seem as if i was interested in the thunder even though in my mind part of me was worrying a lot.
"Right... well we should really choose the songs quickly we have a week until live aid and are yet to practice at all."
"Ah yes."
-
Some time had passed and we all eventually agreed on the songs Heroes, Modern Love, Rebel Rebel and TVC 15. Which we a lot of peoples favourites, once we had decided I told everyone to start practicing their instrument and how rehearsals started tomorrow. I then said goodbye to them all and rushed to my car in the pouring rain. I drove back to the hotel and made my way towards Y/N rooom, i gently knocked on the door and a few seconds later she answered, relief settled over my body and she allowed me in by shuffling to the side. She then closed the door caustiously after i entered.
"Are you okay?" I asked as her face seemed worried but almost immediately after i said that she turned around with a smile.
" Yes why wouldn't i be? just a bit frustrated my walk was cut short is all."
"Ah yes, anyways we have a week booked off of filming to prepare and perform at live aid."
"Oh Great! Have you decided what songs your doing?" She looked at me questioning.
"Yes well the songs we will perform are heroes, Modern Love, Rebel Rebel and TVC 15." I looked at her trying to read her reaction.
"Oh i love them songs!" She said giving me a smile that reassured me that i made a good choice with the songs.
After awhile of talking we decided to sit down and watching a movie in her room tonight. After the movie had finished i said goodnight to her and made my way to my room, satisfied with the day.
Normal POV
I cant believe i just lied to David, I mean i couldn't tell him the truth could i, i wouldn't want to worry him would i? I began pacing my room just like i was before he came and changed my mood completely but now he was gone again and i was left with my thought, alone. I was worried and felt sick to my stomach. I decided to get ready for bed and i got under the cover and tried to go to sleep but i couldn't take my mind off of... her. I eventually, somehow, managed to drift off into the night.
