I Must Be Dreaming

City Name: Chicago, Nickname: The Windy City

They weren't lying, it was freaking cold. I was bored, Alex and the rest of the band were sleeping because they decided to stay up last night. I put my headphones in and fell asleep, I was a very heavy sleeper cause I didn't hear anything at all.

I was walking the streets of Chicago right now just sight seeing and taking a few photos here and there. This is the part of life where someone jumps out and tries to mug me. Well, it isn't going to work. It's too freaking cold and I have no money on me

Sure as the freaking sun is shining on a tropical beach somewhere, some guy turned and faced me. "Give me your money" he demanded. He was in his mid twenties and hairy. Probably had some kind of weapon too.

"Dude, It is too fucking windy and cold. Get your ass out of here. Here I got about 5 bucks, leave me the hell alone" I said pulling the bill out of my pocket.

He looked at me for a moment and blinked. "What?" I asked putting the money in his hand and closing his fingers around it.

I moved around him and continued to walk down the sidewalk. My phone began playing "Hot Mess" and I took it out of my pocket.

"Hello" I said smiling.

"Where are you right now, Querida?" Gabe Saporta asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"Cause I want to know why Alex is calling me, screaming and panicking cause his sister isn't on the bus" he said.

"Alex doesn't panic, he freaks. There is a difference. Brendon Panic!s" I jested.

Gabe howled with laughter, "Good one, love. But you are okay?" he asked.

"Yes, Gabriel. I am okay" I said slowly.

"Okay, I'll see you later then querida" he said.

"Tell V I say hi" I smiled.

"Will do" he said before hanging up.

I walked around town for awhile longer before my phone rang again. I answered it and this time Alex was on the other end. "Rem, where are you? You left without a note! No phone call nothing! I have been worried" he practically yelled in my ear.

"Alex" I interjected.

He continued to yell some more. "Alex" I said a bit louder. Still ignorant to my call. I just hung up and made my way back to the tour bus.

I opened the door and climbed in. Alex was still talking to the phone. "Alexander, I'm not on the phone anymore" I said as I sat down on the couch.

Jack jumped into my lap and hugged me. "I thought we would have to fend for ourselves! It was scary while you were gone" he said.

"I actually left for a moment. The horror" I said faking shock.

"Remi, I was worried about you" Alex said pushing Jack off of me. He sat next to me and wrapped a protective arm around my shoulders.

"I had my phone, I didn't go but 4 blocks away. I stayed in the general area" I said patting his knee. "You need to relax, besides I'm not the one that was taken hostage by a bunch of crazy fan girls"

"You didn't just go there" he said.

I stood up and went towards the kitchen area "I went there" I called to him.

{ few hours later}

"Thank you Chicago" Alex yelled after they finished their set.

I got a few more photos of them on stage then got some of them walking off the stage.

"Remi, I need a hug" Rian said smiling. He had his arms wide open and walked towards me.

"Rian please don't. You guys always smell terrible when you get off stage" I said cringing away from him.

I should have known that someone would grab me from behind. "Oh, gross guys. You are going to make me smell bad" I whined.

"Remi" Jack said running towards me. I became the middle of a ATL sandwich.

"Okay, can't breathe. Too much male sweat. Need oxygen" I said dramatically.

"She has had enough torture for awhile, lets let her breathe" Alex said. Everyone soon moved away and I could finally breathe clean ,not sweaty men, air.

"You are seriously gross Alex" I commented as I took a photo of Zack and Jack hitting Rian with his drum sticks.

"Yes, but you still love me" he said wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Only because there are heavy blunt objects on the tour bus" I muttered.

--------------xxx-------------

"Soccer ball? $8.00. Crunch-Berries? I can't find them" I said to myself as I walked through the store. Those things are my weakness...they are good.

"Remi?" a male voice asked.

I stopped walking, grabbed my soccer ball as it fell from the air and turned around. "Hello Bilvy, what brings you here on this terrible rainy day?" I asked.

"My girlfriend wanted some ice cream" he said with his crooked smile.

"That is sweet of you going on a ice cream run" I said.

"I didn't come alone, she is down one of these aisles looking for Cappuccino Chunky Chocolate" he said.

I snickered. "Where in the hell is the cereal in this place?" I asked.

"1 aisle down" he said pointing to the aisle.

"Of course it is" I said.

I went down the aisle and found one of my favorite cereals. I grabbed it and put it under my arm. That when I heard it. The unmistakable sound of a shopping cart race. They were quite fun as long as you didn't hit anything.

I walked to end of the aisle and saw two guys one with shoulder length brown hair and the other had short hair and a hoodie on. They each had a basket and were flying down the back side of the aisles.

"Hey have you seen--" a voice started before stopping abruptly.

I turned and saw a handsome man standing there. He was about 6 ft, straight brown hair that was just past his ears. And those eyes...gods why did I have to love writing? I could write probably a page of ways to describe them. Then his face? Don't even get me started.

"Seen what?" I asked.

"Shit, right. Have you seen two guys? They are both a bit taller than you one has longish brown hair and the other has dark almost black hair. He had a hoodie on" the guy explained with his hands.

I tried to hid my smile at his embarrassment. He seemed a bit nervous, I would be too though.

"Yes, they were flying past here on shopping carts about 2 seconds before you asked me" I said pointing the direction they went.

"Thank you--" he said.

"Remi, like Remy from X-Men only with an 'i' instead of a 'y' " I said.

"Remy from X-Men?" he asked confused.

I just blinked at him. "Remy LeBeau, he charges inanimate objects with explosive kinetic energy; enhanced agility and hypnotic charm for women. He is the one with the awesome duster jacket thing and big stick" I explained.

"Oh, I remember he was the on and off again boyfriend with Rogue" he said smiling.

I just nodded. "I'm Kennedy by the way" he added quickly.

"Kenny, man you missed it! I totally kicked Gary's ass" one of the shopping cart racers said. Before noticing me and looking me up and down.

"I'm Garrett" the guy said smiling.

"Remi" I said.

"Remi!" a guy's voice yelled.

"Is NOT present, she has left the building with her cereal and soccer ball" I said before beginning to walk away.

"You have got to be shitting me! What the hell is this? Gang up on Remi day?" I muttered to myself as I saw John Oh walking towards me.

"Remi, how's it going?" he asked.

"Screw you, John" I said walking past him to check out my stuff.

I paid for my items and exited the store. I got a call but I ignored it. I just wanted to get back on the bus away from everyone. I needed to write, it seemed to take away the frustration of life.

I made my way back to the bus and Jack opened the door. I climbed up in and put my stuff on a couch before grabbing my laptop.

[Kennedy's pov]

"I think I found my soul mate" I said after Remi left.

"What makes you say that?" Pat asked.

"That girl loves soccer and Crunch-Berries. What else is there in life?" I asked.

"She could be buying them for someone else" Gary said.

"I don't know, I didn't even get a number or anything" I said more to myself than the other guys.

"She can't be that hard to find. She looks just like Alex Gaskarth from All Time Low" Pat said.

"True, I think I have one of their numbers in my phone" I said patting my pockets.

"You left it on the bus, idiot" John said.

"Shit, I did didn't I?" I asked.

We eventually made it back to the bus and I found my phone. I dialed Jack's number and he answered on the first ring.

"Kenny, what's up?" he asked.

"Does Alex have a twin sister?" I asked.

"Yeah, her name is Remi, but they are 13 months apart not exactly twins" he said.

"I think I found my soul mate" I said.

Jack started laughing, "Well, I'm sure she would be please to hear you say that but she isn't exactly coherent right now" he said.

"What's up?" I asked.

"She is in the writer zone" Jack said.

"Writer zone?" I questioned.

"Yes, she is a writer. She has been on the NY's best seller list before. She is working on her next novel. She is typing away as I speak, I can see if I can pull her back to planet earth if you want" Jack suggested.

"No, I just wanted to know. Thanks man" I said.

"Your Welcome, we are going to be in Ohio next, then New York. You should come, and see us" he said. By 'us' I knew he meant. Remi.

"Cool, I will. Thanks again" I said.

"Anytime Kenny" Jack said before hanging up.
