Sweet Dreams Chapter 2 Once Caroline got to the recording studio she ran straight past the lobby. "Excuse me miss do you have an appointment?" called the secretary as Caroline sped right past her."Excuse me!" Caroline ignored her calls. She kept running until she ran into someone's chest. She looked up and saw Nick. "Whoa, whoa Caroline slow down." "Nick, where's Brian?" she asked breathing heavily. He saw that she looked worried and became concerned. "Caroline, what's wrong?" "I-I need to know where Brian is." "He went to go pick up something to eat, but he should be back soon. Do you want to sit down?" "Yeah. I'm really tired." They walked further down the hallway past a couple of doors where she could see other groups recording also. They turned a corner and walked into the lounge. Luckily it was empty because she didn't want anyone to see her like this. She sat down on one of the new leather couches. "Do you want something to drink?" Nick walked over to a soda machine and began to feed it quarters. "Just a water," she replied rubbing her temples. "And some aspirin, if you have any." "Sure thing," he said as he tossed her an ice cold water bottle and a bottle of Tylenol. "Thanks." She took two pills and rested her head back on the cool leather. "You know it always helps to talk about what's on your mind," he said breaking the silence. "It's not what's on my mind, it's what's in my mind. I can't seem to shake this dream I've been having." She paused for a minute."It always starts off the same. You and Brian are playing basketball he collapses and he dies right before our eyes. We can't do anything to save him and the more we try to help him the worse it gets." Tears brimmed around her eyes. She closed them letting the tears fall down on her face and Nick handed her a tissue. "Don't cry," he said feeling sorry for her. There was another moment of silence. Caroline was letting all of her emotions out. "So where are the others?" she said changing the subject beginning to feel better. She didn't want to talk about her dream right now. It was too depressing. "Oh, there back in the studio recording some background vocals for our songs. Are you sure you're okay?" "Yeah I just had to let it out." Someone turned the door knob and began to enter the room. Brian came in carrying in some Chinese takeout. "Brian," she called as she walked up to hug him. "Hey Cari, what are you doing here?" He sat the bags on the table. "I had the dream again and I came here to see you." "Well, are you okay?" ''Yeah I'm better now. Thanks to Nick." "What did I do?" he said getting up. "I don't know you just made me feel better." "Oh. Well, thanks. So what do we have here?" he said rubbing his hands together mentioning towards the food. "The McDonalds was too crowded and this was the next best thing I could find." Brian took out two cartons of rice. "This will have to do," Nick said."I'll go get the rest of the guys," he said leaving the lounge. They ate their food and returned to their recording studio. Caroline stayed and watched. They began to sing "Spanish Eyes" which was now her favorite song. Later on that day they went to Kevin's house and chilled out for a while. "Who wants drinks?" Kevin called from the patio door. "I'll have an iced tea," A. J. called. "We'll have some cokes," Nick called. "Well, you'll just have to get your lazy buts up and get them yourselves," Kevin said laughing. "Good one cuz," Brian said giving Kevin a high five. Kevin walked out and sat on the edge of the pool with his feet dangling in the water. Caroline took a dive into the water. She jumped out and ringed out her hair. Then she walked into Kevin's house to get something to drink. Brian shortly followed paying attention to how good she looked in her bathing suit. As she bent over in front of the refrigerator Brian came up behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist. "Brain what are you doing?" "Shhh." he put his finger on her lips and gave her a kiss. He pulled her hand upstairs towards the bathroom and locked the door. Brian pulled down the toilet seat and sat down. He patted his leg mentioning for Caroline to come and sit on his lap. "Brian we can't do this here," Caroline walking up to him. "Come on please. Kev will never know. And you look so good." She shook her head and sat on his lap. He brought her head down to his and began to kiss her. He tried to undo her bathing suit top but it was too confusing for him. So she had to do it for him.Next: Chapter 3 |
