Chapter 31: Hotel vs. Tom

***

Jordan's POV

"As you all know, a crisis is going on. But we will push past that and for those of you that are here will......" I stopped listening and looked around the room. There was only a small portion of us here, but they're doing this in every other room in this building so I assume there's more of us scattered. I recognized some of the people here like FyreUK, Yogscast, SkyDoesMinecraft, etc, but most of the people I had no clue who they were. Great. "....let me look at the list and see who is here...." the guy said, his accent thicker than Tom's.

'Then his accent must be pretty strong to top Tom's' Why? Can't you hear it? 'We don't hear what you hear, since we're our own person obviously. We only hear what you think.' Oh, well I guess that makes sense. Why can't you just use your magic crazy powers to hear though? 'We're not wizards' Still! You guys seem pretttty close to wizards by the fact yOU'RE TALKING IN MY HEAD!

I gripped the drink they gave me, it wasn't coffe though. The first time they gave me coffee and burnt right through it, and the boy gave me something else. I wonder what it is? It isn't warm, surprisingly, and smelled like lime. It was clear like water though I could tell it wasn't. I took a sip, almost choking when I heard someone say: "You're shortening your lifespan you know." And that wasn't the only think that made me choke, the drink burned my throat and felt like acid.

That's when I realized Aureylian was standing next to me.... What?! "Wait, why are you here? I-I mean-- Im not trying to be rude but Uh-- I thought you were in America?!" I stuttered. It was hard to be quiet because I was in shock. She was in America last time I checked, right?

"What? Dude I think you've had a bit too much of that alcohol. I've been here since last week!"

"Alcohol?!" It had just accord to me, this isn't water. This thing I've been drinking is alcohol! What the crap?! Why the hell did he give me alcohol at 10 in the morning?! Erin grinned and took the cup out of my hands, then dumped it in a trash can near by. "Yeah, alcohol. You didn't realize? Pfft, you're like Chad."

"Chad's here?!" I was so confused. Since when did Chad decide to go to Insomnia?! I remember him saying he couldn't make it due to some personal stuff. And why is Aurey here?! I thought she couldn't make it either?! AM I INSANE?! "Haven't you been on any social media platforms?? Or even YouTube?! Have you even spoke to Sonja?!" She asked, smothering her face with the warm coffee cup.

"I talked to Sonja before I left and she didn't mention a thing!"

"Hmm, odd. Anyways, I lost Steve and Chad somewhere. I gotta go look for them, but tell me if you see them." Erin grinned, patting my shoulder, we were embarrassingly almost the same height, and disappeared into the sea of people. That's the Erin I know. 'Then why did you two break up? She's a lovely girl!' The problem is that when she doesn't say her opinion of what she thinks for a long time, she had emotional outburst, and most of the time it's a screaming match.

'Oh, well is that really that bad? Bashful did that, it was never that bad.' I mean over the timespan of weeks to months. She eventually snaps and starts screaming, crying, everything. It isn't like she's going to kill someone, I mean, yeah she doesn't some scary crap but she'd never go that far. 'Take notes Intuition, humans work differently from each other.' Notes? For what?

'Well I'm in charge of Intuition since this is his first main job since two years ago. He use to be well known but he fell behind and eventually I topped him' Topped? 'Not in that way pervert!'  I was just asking! I didn't want to get the wrong idea, since you're Mr.Defensive. 'I won't lie, you did out that in a kinky way, Wisdom.'

"..... And that's it! We'll see you all next Saturday!" The guy said, stepping off the stage and leaving through the doors. Crap! What did he say?! I'm so stupid! Why'd you guys let me get distracted like that?? You know what, don't answer that! I'm screwed. So screwed. I jumped when I felt someone leaning on me, and the first thing I saw was that bright red hair.

"Chad-- I know I haven't talked to you and all but what the hell did the guy say??!" I asked, and he just looked at me with a dumbstruck expression. "Uh, not exactly what I was expecting but okay." He said "He basically said that everything was all set for next Friday and to be weary of crazy people." Chad grinned, and I realized Steve was right next to him. Damn it. I'm so short. '5 foot 7 isn't that bad. I mean, you're still short but at least you're not 5 foot exactly.' I'm barely 7 inches taller that 5 foot!

"Aurey's looking for you guys by the way." I mumbled too distracted to care.

"Really? Oh and the hotel is open. Yours opened yesterday." Steve said and my heart skipped a beat. If course I tried calling my hotel to get into my room, but they had people begging for a place, so they gave away my room. "Really?! That's great!"

'Cough, remember Tom? Yeah that guy. He's gonna kill you if you leave, cough'

"--I mean, yeah, that's great, I just, I already am staying at a place...?" It came out more of a question than an answer. "Oh, you are? Is it that guy everyone's spamming your Twitter with?" Chad asked.

"People have been spamming my Twitter with pictures?!"

"Dude you need to pay attention more."

"Steve, we gotta go. Bye Jordan! We'll talk to you later!" And then Chad dragged Steve into the crowd of leaving people. I feel like the world just moved on without me and I didn't notice. 'That's deep.' Wow thanks for the great support of telling me I'm not insane. But do I got to my hotel room or stay with Tom? And Steve said something about people spamming pictures of who I can only assume is Tom. Surely YouTube has already broke with crazy ideas. And I don't exactly want to drag attention onto him, he's a normal 16 year old kid living life. I just realized how creepy it sounds when I say he's 16 and I'm 19.

'Yeah, you kinda sound like one of those creepy bad influences. Though he's more of a bad influence.'

Okay that doesn't help me at all though.

'Geez sorry!'

'You should probably ponder the idea and not stand in the middle of an empty room, security guards are staring you down like a hawk.' I hadn't realized security guards were staring at me like I was going to blow up the place. I swiftly walked out of the room, sometimes I make myself look like such an idiot.
