Dream POV

George had been staying in his room most of the day. I knew the news of Sapnap moving in was bugging him. I didn't really think about how it would effect him tell I saw how he acted. He tensed up and just walked up into his room. But the thing bugging me was why was he upset? Did he want to move here too? Was it Sapnap picking me? I figured he would hate me, so why does he care so much.

"I'm going to go talk to him." Sapnap started standing up and walking into his room. But I remember telling Sapnap I would talk to him. No time is good to talk about this, but I needed to. I stop him in his tracks as  I walk up the stairs and knock on the door. I didn't get an answer and walked into to see George sleeping. God that boy slept more than a baby does. I didn't want to wake him from his seemingly peaceful slumber, but I needed to talk. I gently rub his shoulder before I feel him tense up and shake. I pull my arm away as he rolls around to look at me. His face isn't exactly readable at the moment as he looks tired and barely awake.

"I want to talk to you about stuff-" 

"Dream, I'm not in the mood to talk. Just not now." He gives me a forced smile which was extremely noticeable. When he actually smile his nose crinkles and it didn't. He's been doing it a lot recently, I'm forgetting his real smile.

"Actually, I do have a question... Did you open my Christmas gift?" I shook my head. He looked upset and I felt bad. "Did you throw it away?" I shook my head again and a small grin grew on his face. I smiled at him before walking out and closing the door.

 I was curious what it was. I never opened it because it would cause to many problems. He said it was important to him. That meant it would be important to me, and even the small things like that can set me back in my recovery of losing him. But I wanted to know what it is. My curiosity got the best of me and I pulled it out of the closet. I had to go into Sapnaps room to get it. If it was in my room it would make me want to open it more. I figured Sapnap was still downstairs which was true. So I walked into his room and pulled it out.

 It was flat kind of like a book. It was about 16x12 inches. It was rapped in brown rapping paper and had a string ribbon on it. My address was plastered in sharpie at the top with the shipping label on the back. I was sitting staring at it for a moment. Which ended up being multiple minutes. I looked up to see Sapnap standing in front of me with a curious face too.

"What's that?" Sapnap walked closer to me pulling it out of hand. I handed it to him reluctantly as he examines it.

"My Christmas gift from George." I sigh and take it back. "I'm thinking of opening it." I run my hand over the rapping paper. It wasn't quiet smooth and had a nice texture.

"Well do you want me to open it with you?" I smiled at the thought. It would be nice to open it with someone. I nod my head and we sit down on the bed.

I start by pulling off the ribbon and taking the string off. I took a breath before opening it. Inside was a framed picture collage. With all sorts of pictures of us. Some we took down in London and our Minecraft skins sitting together. I recognized the picture from one of out manhunts. I couldn't help but shed a tear at it. It was perfect.

It was filled with pictures. Some we took at the sunset and the roller skating rink. Plus a few from when I first got there. I forgot we took most of these photos, but I would cherish this.

(Kind of like this but imagine Dream and George)

"Wow you opened it without me? With Sapnap?" George huffed but I could hear the hurt in his voice. I wasn't thinking about it. This was his gift to me and I didn't even open it with him when I had the chance too. George ran out of the door and started running to his room.

"George wait! Please George!" I caught him before he got to his room grabbing his arm and stopping him from running.

"Let me go" George sounded angry.

"Please just talk to me." I whined. He didn't look at me.

"You're hurting me." George didn't make eye contact and I realized what I was doing. I let go of his wrist to see red marks around it. He grabs it before heading into his room. Not only was I mentally hurting but I was physically too. I couldn't believe myself and I hated myself for doing it. I walked into my room to angry at myself to even apologize to George. 

I had to keep quiet but I wanted to yell, I wanted to cry and apologize and hurt myself because I hurt him. But I composed my self and my breathing became more regular. Why did I do that? I was so focused on making him feel better mentally, I hurt him physically. I'm awful. I hate myself. I just keep causing him more and more pain. I just wish it would stop.

Knock Knock

"Hey Dream, are you ok?" Sapnap asks. Tears were running down my face as I sat lying on the bed. I couldn't answer him with words in fear of crying even more. He sat next to me and pulled me into a hug. I started crying even more due to the comfort I was getting.

"I'm awful Sapnap, I hurt him. I cause him physical pain. God I hate myself, w-why would I do that?" I was sobbing now barely able to get out a few words before a stutter. He looked down at me and pulled me in closer.

"He doesn't blame you Dream. He's just upset." I didn't believe him. Even if George himself told me. I don't think I could believe it.

"Well he should blame me." I stated crying into Sapnaps Black hoodie. It wasn't noticeable unless you were close.

"Look at me Dream" I look up to be met with soft eyes. "Did you purposefully mean to do it?" I shook my head. "Would you want to hurt him like that?" I shook my head again. Why was he asking me these questions. Did he think I did?

"Well than it was an accident. George knows you would never do something like that. I think you should go talk to him, after you get cleaned up." Sapnap chuckled trying to lighten the mood, but I was still incredibly nervous. Why didn't he hate me? I put him through so much shit and he still wanted to talk to me? I didn't understand. But after the tears stopped flowing I walked over to his room. I hesitantly knocked on the door.

"Come in" I took a deep breath and opened the door. George was sitting on his bed. His eyes were puffy, but mine were too. I sit on the edge of the bed opposite from him. I didn't really know where to start. After a moment of silence I realized I needed to apologize.

"I'm sorry-"

"No It's fine, I'm used to it." He looked down playing with the hem of his shirt. That broke my heart. I never wanted to remind him of his past.

"No George, I'm sorry. Like really sorry I shouldn't of done that. I never want to hurt you, and that's all I've been doing the past few months. And I'm not like your dad. I could never hurt you like that." I realized the tears started up again. He opened his arms for me to go into, and I did just that. I didn't realized how much I missed his touch. I forgot the feeling, the one thing I wanted to remember when I left I had forgotten.

"Why did you do it?" George spoke up. His hand was running through my hair. I couldn't tell if he was crying or not, but if he was you couldn't hear it in his voice.

"W-what" I knew what, but I didn't really want to talk about it.

"You know what" I nod my head but don't answer. After a few minutes he excepts the fact.

"I'm going home tomorrow." His voice was monotone and serious.

What? Why was he leaving so soon. I sat up from in his arms to look at him.

"Why?" My voice was a whisper but he heard me.

"My Mom needs me." I knew that was a lie. The two thing I knew about his Mom was she was strong and that George told her everything. Most likely including where he was. The way she treated me, I doubt she would bring him home for any reason.

"We both know that's a lie." I spoke soft. I wouldn't have enough time to fix us.

"No, it's not" I could tell his voice was annoyed.

"George, don't lie to me." My voice became more serious.

"God Dream I'm not lying just fuck off!" He raised his voice and I took that as my cue to leave. We took a step forward, then two steps back in this relationship. Whatever it is anyways. I just want him back. I fucked it up and now I'll be losing him forever.

I walked back into my room to see Sapnap laying on my bed.

"Just incase it went wrong I stayed in here, I also asked for reinforcements for George."

"No need, he is leaving tomorrow."

"What? He just got here?" Sapnap sat up focusing more on Dream.

"He says he needs to help his Mom with something but I know he is lying."

"Well Bad is already on his way. He should be here in about an hour."

"Bad?!" I knew he lived in Florida, but he never saw my face. I've also never met him in person. That was the least of my worries though. I laid down next to Sapnap.

"Do you want me in or out? Reassuring words or just my presents?"

"In, but check on George first and see if he wants anyone please." Sapnap stood up and left me all alone in my room. I know I told him to, but I wish he would come back. I heard loud noises come from across the hall. I didn't pay to much attention to it though.

"Well George doesn't want me there, so looks like I'm stuck with you dude. Wanna put something on TV and cuddle with the homies?" Sapnap asked and I agreed. I nodded my head and he grabbed the remote turning the TV on and handing it to me. I took it and scrolled through movies tell I found one with Adam Sandler. Almost all of his movies are funny so I clicked on it. I had my head on Sapnaps chest and I was glad to have him here. I needed my best friend to get through this. And he was here for me. I felt my eyes close and sleep fall upon me.

George POV

It angered me Dream just ignored my question. My goal of coming here was to get closure and an explanation for ghosting me. But he won't even give me that. Then he was telling me I was lying?! Ok maybe I was but he can't be mad at me for that. I just wanted to go home. I really wanted him back in my life. I wanted to go back to before we happened. Before I told him I loved him. That way we could be friends again. All those months ago I didn't want to tell him because it could ruin our friendship. I was right, it did.

I purchased the ticket and started packing my bags. Sapnap walked in asking if I was ok. I knew he would much rather prefer to comfort Dream. Well I didn't know that, but I felt it at the moment.

"Just go comfort Dream Sapnap. I don't care." I scoffed and continued with what I was doing. It would of been nice to have someone, but I needed my space. If someone where to come I would just yell at them. Neither of them deserved that. So I curled into my own little ball and just tried to hide. I had cried my tears for the day. Anymore and I would be dehydrated. The only thing I could think about was our conversation.

I wasn't mad at Dream for grabbing my arm. Ya it hurt, but I know he didn't mean it. And I told Sap that too. But when I was talking about it it upset him. I guess getting hurt due to others wasn't something your supposed to get used to. I get why he was upset by what he did, and I should of seen it as a bigger deal but I didn't. I trusted him. No matter how much I hated him right now, I have known him for 6 years. 6 years of talking almost everyday. For hours most days except the ones we had school. That trust doesn't just disappear.

I wanted us to go back to the time where we could argue about stupid things. We were never awkward and bantered like the best friends we were. Where all three of us played bedwars or built a survival word. We would bicker while beating the game. All the videos and streams we did together. The countless hours we spent just talking about life. Talking about serious things and helping them through it. Like Dreams breakup and Sapnap losing his dad. We were always there for one another. No matter what. I miss the Dream Team or whatever stupid name we were called. I miss the days of hope.

But it was a new time for us. A new chapter they seemed to be moving onto without me. They got to live together and I would get forgotten by Dream then Sapnap. I would be left all alone again. It was bound to happen. 

It was the truth. My future.

After about an hour of packing I lay on my bed. A knock comes on my door.

"Fuck off" I was still upset with Dream, and Sapnap didn't deserve that but I was mad.

"Language" 

"Bad?!" I stood up running over to the door. Bad was someone I also kept in contact with over the past few months. He didn't know everything, but he knew a lot. 

"Hi George!" He was surprisingly up beat. I guess he didn't know what was going on. But I was definitely glad to see him. I pulled him into a hug and he gladly took it back. 

"Sapnap called me and told me to come over. Are you ok?" I didn't know how to feel about that. I guess it meant he cared.

"It's a lot can we talk about it."

"Of course we can." Bad always had a positive attitude. He was great at comforting people too. We sat on the bed and he opened his arms for anther hug. I did so and started telling him everything. At least the parts he didn't know. He knew about the trip already and how Dream ghosted me. He also knew we had some sort or relationship. So I just filled him in on the rest.

"Wait so you're leaving tomorrow?" I chuckled.

"That's what you got out of that?"

"Well no I heard everything else too, I guess I was just hoping we could spend more time together." Bad had a small pout on his face.

"I don't think I can be here much longer Bad. It hurts to much." He smiled and nodded with understanding. I laid my head on his shoulder. It was only around 9 PM but I was so mentally exhausted which made me physically too. I felt my eyes close as I was with someone. I was glad to have one of my closest friends here. It made me feel a little better going to sleep.

3 chapters again today pretty cool. Hope you enjoy and stay safe. I will be going on tiktok then bed good night!
