The morning light was slowly making its way through the blinds as another day was starting.
As the clock struck seven, a light buzz could be heard echoing inside the spacious room the twenty-four year old man was in.
Despite wanting to give in and sleep a little more he knew that he had to get up. So he did.
George got up while stretching his four limbs and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes in quick but effective motions.
The man lived alone, his only company being his friends who he could only talk to over the phone and his fans that adored him and the content he was making.
Other that that, he was alone.
His thoughts were cut off by his phone. Someone was calling him.
George picked the phone up and he was gritted with a heartwarming voice. The person calling was his best friend. One of his few smiling sources.
"GEORGE"
His tone was welcoming and happy, making the brunet smile only so much that his two front teeth were showing.
"Good morning Dream."
"Oh no. Where you sleeping again?"
"That's what you are supposed to do at night"
The 'faceless' man's chuckle was heard from the other side of the line which was a little alarming considering it wasn't like his usual wheezes.
"Anyway, why did you call this early?"
"Nick and I are playing some Minecraft in ten minutes and I figured you would like to play with us"
" Are you going live? "
" Nope, just for fun "
" Oh okay. I'm in. I'll just go take a shower real quick "
" Okay bye! "
" Bye. "
The man ended the call and started walking towards his bathroom.
With a towel in one hand he opened the door only to be greeted by his own reflection in the mirror.
He knew that he had to hurry up but he didn't care.
He took his sweet time getting in the shower and washing his body as well as his hair.
The water hitting his body felt warm and comforting.
Ten minutes have gone by and George started getting sick of standing still while steaming hot water was pouring down his slim posture. He stepped out of the shower and placed a towel around his hips.
As the brunet made his way in front of the mirror he took his toothbrush in his hand and placed it in his mouth, brushing his teeth.
George ruffled his hair a bit before getting out of the bathroom and into his bedroom to find some clothes to wear.
" What should I wear? "
His eyes fell upon the black dream hoodie and a pair of black jeans.
" I should really get some new clothes"
He said as he put a new pair of underwear on and his black jeans as well as his hoodie.
"This should be okay "
The brunet then walked up to his computer, where he spent most of his time and sat down on his black gaming chair.
That's what his life is like. Surrounded by the gray walls in his room and the darkness in his mind that wouldn't go away until he spoke with Dream or Nick over the phone.
George opened his computer and went on discord.
"GEORGE"
"Hello Dream"
"Oh George is here ? Hi George"
" Hello Nick! How are you guys? "
" We are good man! How are you doing? " Nick asked.
" Nothing out of the ordinary! You know how it is "
"Hey George? "
"Yeah Dream? "
" Are you sure your okay? You sound a bit... tired "
The other man's question made George think his answer. He didn't wanna say something that would worry his friends so he lied.
" Yeah I'm good! I'm just sleepy"
" Oh okay... So wanna play some Minecraft guys? "
Nick was the first to answer
" Yeah dude "
" Okay let's do this "
And so they started playing together. They screamed and laughter until their throats were shore.
It went on for 2 hours but they eventually got bored and stopped.
" Hey guys... I'm about to head out "
" Okay bye Nick! "
" Bye guys! "
And with that Nick exited the call, leaving Dream and George alone.
" George? Are you still here ?"
" Yeah I'm here "
" Okay cool... Can I ask you a question?"
" Sure, go ahead "
" Wanna come to Florida?"
The brunet was shocked at the man's question, he didn't know how to respond.
" What-"
" I said 'Do you want to come to Florida? '"
" Are you kidding me? "
" No, why would I? "
" Well, I don't know you said it so casually and out of the ordinary... "
" You didn't answer my question though. "
George thought about it. If he did meet Dream he would get away from his depressing life even for a little bit, but then his best friend would realize what is going on in his life and how fucked up he felt every second of the day.
" Soooo? "
" I'm not sure "
" George.. are you sure there is nothing going on with you? "
" I'm fi- "
" Then if you're 'fine' why won't you meet up with me? "
" Dream- "
There was a long pause after George spoke. The only thing heard was the clock ticking.
" Okay "
Said George and let out a sight he didn't know he was keeping in.
" What? "
" I said okay. "
Excitement started to built up inside Dream as he started to laugh and scream.
" FINALLY DUDE "
" Dream relax! "
" I AM RELAXED "
George laughed a little at his best friend's behavior.
" So, when should I come? "
" Oh don't worry about that, I already booked you a flight for tomorrow "
" Wha- tomorrow? "
" I actually booked your ticket a week ago cause I knew you were gonna say yes "
" Why wou- you know what? I'm just not going to comment on that "
" Good! "
" How long am I staying? "
" Three weeks. "
" Three weeks? Why so much? "
" Cause Nick is going to leave the house for one whole month and go stay at Karl's. I didn't want to stay alone for that long . "
" Oh okay "
" Yeah... "
" Anyway I'm gonna go pack my things and get ready "
" Okay byee! "
" Byee! "
The call has now ended and George returned into his boring and frustrating lifestyle. Surrounded by the dark gray walls and the light smell of vanilla, the brunet walked to his closet and got out two black suitcases.
He placed the suitcases down he stepped closer to the closet once again, grabbing some shirts and hoodies, he wanted to bring with him.
" These should be enough "
And with that, one suitcase was already full with shirts.
" And now for the pants "
His next destination was his dresser, were his pants and pajamas were kept.
As his hands were filled with 15 pares of pants as well as some sweatpants he remembered to pack some underwear.
"I think I got everything I need. "
Now that the brunet has finished packing his clothes and has closed his suitcases, he got his backpack and placed his laptop, his charger and his headphones inside it as well as his passport.
" And I am now ready "
He thought about it.
He was ready. Ready to go meet Dream. His best friend. His key of escaping the harsh reality surrounding him.
He really wanted to meet Dream. He knew that he would have a great time while living with his best friend.
He also knew that it would be difficult to hide the feelings coming from his twisted past.
It wouldn't hurt to try and hide it though.
After all he was used to hiding his feelings.
In the end, as his backpack closed and the sun started going down he made up his mind.
"Florida, I'm coming"
The clock was heard once again. It was now six in the morning and the brunet had to get up in order not to miss his flight to Florida. Today was the day, the man would meet his best friend in person for the first time.
He hadn't gotten that much sleep from the night before. Was it his happiness keeping him awake or was it his nervousness? He wasn't sure about the answer.
As the man finally got up to get ready, his phone buzzed and on the now lightened up screen a message popped up.
His curiosity lead him to the phone and with a quick glance he realized that the person messaging him was the green blob known as Dream.
Pissbaby👽
Hello Georgie
Me
Hello! What's up?
Pissbaby👽
Oh nothing. Just wondering when should I come pick you up from the airport
Me
Oh you don't have to. I can call an Uber.
Pissbaby👽
No. I'll come pick you up 🙂
Me
Okay then. Well my flight is in an hour. I'll text you once I'm there since I am not exactly sure of when I'm gonna be there.
Pissbaby 👽
Okay sure! Have a good flight then.
Me
Thank you! 😊
Pissbaby 👽
No problem 😊 Bye!
Me
Bye!
And with that, his phone screen was once more black.
George walked over to his window and opened the blinds, letting the sun in and bringing in fresh air.
His chest rised up and then down as his lungs filled with air and his nose experienced what the newly planted flowers smelled like.
Peace was all he felt right now but he knew that he had to get ready.
So he walked. His destination being the bathroom. The brunet took a quick shower and brushed his teeth as his reflection in the mirror did the same. Once he got out of his bathroom and into his bedroom, his eyes fell upon the black Dream hoodie that was laying on his bed and a pair of black jeans that were thrown over his gaming chair.
That's when he thought to himself 'should I wear this hoodie?'. Making up his mind wasn't hard with stuff like this. If he wanted to do something he would do it and wearing the hoodie was one of the many things he wanted to do.
His quick decisions have lead him to bad outcomes sometimes though and those bad outcomes lead him to his now messed up past.
Even though his decision on what to wear wasn't a big deal he grew up, being scared while making choices on his own. To be more specific the man started taking decisions seriously after what happened.
Well that story is for another time, for now the brunet pulled the black hoodie over his head and the black pare of jeans on.
He looked at himself up and down. It wasn't much but it was okay.
With that, the time has now passed and he had thirty minutes left before the plane takes off, making the man hurry up
With one last look around his house and his suitcases in his hand as well as his backpack thrown over his back, he said goodbye to London.
" Goodbye my home. I'll see you soon "
And with a big slam, the door was closed and locked behind George and he was soon picked up by a taxi.
" Where to ?"
Said the taxi driver as he looked at the brunet from the mirror.
" To the airport please "
" Okay sir "
Speed took over the car as it's tires rammed through the road of pavement.
And with that he was off to the airport.
It only took him ten minutes to get to the airport considering he wasn't living that far away from it.
It was now 6:47 in the morning.
He only had 13 minutes to get on the plane and finally meet his friend.
The brunet walked to the gate, leading to the plane 's entrance and stopped to scan his suitcases and himself.
The scanner made a biping sound as a green light appeared.
"You can go sir" said the man who helped him scan his stuff while giving him his things back.
"Thank you! Have a nice day"
"You too, sir"
So there he was.
In the plane
Nine hours and twenty minutes away from his destination.
His head was pressed against the window and he had his headphones on as music came through them.
The brunet looked at the clouds and the blue sky until his sight became blurry and he drifted off to sleep.
Three hours have passed by and George eventually woke up from his nap.
Six more hours to go.
"What am I gonna do for six ho-"
His words were cut off from a buzz coming from his phone.
The source of the buzz was a message he received from Dream.
Pissbaby 👽
Hey!
Me
Hi Dream!
Pissbaby 👽
How is your flight going?
Me
It's going okay so far. I only have 6 more hours and them I'm out of here.
Pissbaby 👽
6 hours?
Me
Yup! I already slept for 3 hours so I have nothing else to do right now
Pissbaby 👽
We can talk for a bit if you want.
Me
Sure
Pissbaby 👽
Okay I'll call right now.
With that, George placed his earphones on his ears once again and got ready to speak to his friend.
Not much time passed by as his phone lit up and the name
The brunet picked up the phone and placed the mic closer to his mouth.
"Hey Georgie"
"Hello Dream"
"Why do you keep calling me Dream? It's like me calling you Georgenotfound"
"Okay, okay. Hello Clay"
" What time is it for you? "
" 10:20 am"
" Oh it's 7:20 for me so it's still pretty early"
" Yeah. Oh I just remembered. Did Nick already leave? "
" No. I think you'll be able to see him for a couple of minutes before he leaves"
" That's great"
" It's a little sad he won't be here with us though"
" Yeah I know. I wish he would stay"
" He'll come back one day before you leave so you will at least have time to spend a day with him"
" Oh that's nice"
" Yeah I know. Anyway, I gotta go shopping right now since I have nothing for you to eat"
" Thank you for caring for me masked man "
" No problem. Bye! "
" Bye! "
And with that, the call ended.
" Five and a half more hours to go"
The man sat there scrolling through Instagram and commenting on some posts.
Dream on the other hand was in his house, ready to go shopping.
"NICK!"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to the store to buy some food. I'll be back in 30 minutes or so"
"Okay bye"
"Bye"
And he took off.
With his keys and his wallet in his hands, he got inside his car and started driving to the store.
George was in the plane.
Five more hours to go.
He decided to watch a movie as he figured it would make time go by faster.
The movie he chose was the
And it did.
The movie ended within 3 hours and he now had only two hours left until he reaches his destination and meets his best friend.
At this point, Clay had already gotten back from the store, exercised a bit and took a quick shower before calling George once again.
"Hey George"
"Hello! I am so done right now! I wanna get out of the plane!"
"George! Relax. You only have one hour and 45 minutes left until you get here. You'll be fine!"
" I know, I know. I'll probably take another nap since I have nothing else to do."
" Okay. That seems like a great idea"
"I know it's a good idea. I was the one the came up with the idea"
" Are you always that cocky? "
" I just can't help it. Anyway, I'm gonna go sleep now. See you in one hour and 35 minutes. Bye! "
" Bye! "
As the call ended and the music was turned on once more, George fell asleep.
Minute by minute, the time passed and the brunet woke up five minutes before landing. Once the announcement that the plane was about to land was made, the brunet got his things ready and texted his best friend to let him know that he has arrived.
Me
The plane is landing in 5 minutes.
Pissbaby 👽
Okay I'll be there.
Me
Okay. Bye!
Pissbaby 👽
See ya!
George was nervous.
His heart was beating fast and his hands were trembling.
Cold sweat was running down his fourhead a chills were running down his spine.
Time was going by so slowly and the flight finally came to an end.
He grabbed his suitcases and his backpack and he was now ready.
Ready to meet his friend.
His escape from his cruel world.
His way of forgetting his past.
He was really excited to get to know Clay outside their texts and their discord calls.
He couldn't wait any longer. He rushed to the airport's waiting room and started looking around even though he didn't know who he was looking for considering Clay's face wasn't something known to him.
But then he heard his phone ring and Clay's contact popped up.
"Clay!"
"George!"
"Where are you? "
The brunet looked around once more.
"Behind you"
His eyes widened as he slowly turned around.
And there he was.
A tall, blonde guy with his phone placed on his ear.
"Hi" said Clay through the call.
George ended the call and run to the man's arms, hugging him.
"Clay!"
The blonde man smiled as he hugged the brunet.
"Why are you so tall?"
"The real question is, why are you so short?"
"Real funny, big guy"
"Thank you"
With that a laugh was heard from the both of them that soon turned into smiles of happiness.
The were both so happy to be with each other but they had to pull away from the hug and get going.
So they untangled their combined bodies and looked at each other's face.
George was speechless
Bright green eyes, wich George saw as yellow, scanned his face and the brunet couldn't believe how good his freckles looked or how perfectly his lips parted and gave him an innocent yet so model like, look.
"Am I handsome?"
"You are! Not as handsome as me though"
"Keep dreaming, short man"
"Reality is not a dream, masked man"
It was now 12:30pm and the sun was at it's brightest point.
We should probably get going if you wanna see Nick"
" Yeah you are right. Let me get my suitcases first."
" Okay, sure"
The shorter man grabbed one of his suitcases and Clay got the other since he wanted to help.
" We can go now"
" Oh my god, finally! I can't stand being near planes anymore"
" Does that mean you'll stay here forever?"
"no"
" Oh"
The brunet chuckled and patted his friend on the back, signaling for them to move.
"Come on. Let's go. Nick is waiting for us"
"Okay, let's go before he eats all the food I bought"
With that, the two men got out of the airport and into the parking lot where the blonde man kept his car.
Once the suitcases were put in the trunk, the males got inside the vehicle and started driving to their destination.
So as the tires spun around fast and the music from the radio got louder, the brunet's eyes scanned the view from outside the window and thought about all the fun he would have there and all the new memories he would make.
He wanted to know if his new memories would erase his past memories.
He wasn't sure about it though.
He knew that it was too messed up to fix completely.
"George?"
"Yeah?"
"You're okay?"
"Yeah, why? "
" You completely tapped out for a moment"
" Oh, sorry"
" It's okay, don't worry about it"
" What were you saying when I was tapped out? "
" I was just saying that we are almost there"
" Oh.. okay"
And with that, silence took over the car once again.
They both knew that once they reach the house, chaos would overcome them.
So as the car pulled over in front of a big house and Clay quickly got out of the vehicle, George understood that his trip to Florida has only just begun.
