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"
