I'm Only Dreaming

Chapter 21

-Clay-
My plane lands and I call a Uber to drive me to the hospital. When I arrive I ask for his room and they give me the directions. I get to his room and hesitate.

I'm scared to see him like this. I knock on the door, quietly. Nick opens the door. "Hey..." He says. I walk into the room, George is laying in the bed. I hate this. Maybe I shouldn't have come.

Nick puts his hand on my shoulder and I see Karl. This is his first time seeing me and my first time seeing him in person. "Hey, Dream." He says.

"Heh, you can call me Clay as long as it isn't in a video." I smile at him. He nods and Nick sits down next to him. "How are you guys? Like with your relationship and shit."

"Nothing has happened yet, we've just been here so." Nick says. "What's your guys goal?" I ask.

They both shrug. "Sorry if I'm being awkward, I'm trying to keep my mind occupied." I say while rubbing my arm. "It's all good Clay, we know it's hard." Karl says. I nod and stare at George. He isn't looking good.

*14 hours later*
-George-
I could hear everything they were saying but I couldn't say anything. I couldn't move. I couldn't wake up. I couldn't do anything.

Nick and Karl left and Clay was alone with me. But I couldn't tell him I could hear everything. I miss him so much. Right now he's sitting on the floor beside my bed, he thinks no ones watching so he's crying.

I could hear him, I wanted, more than anything to hug him and tell him that I'm alright. I wanted to wake up so bad and hug him. I'm sure that's what he wanted as well.

-Clay-
I'm crying like a stupid baby on the floor. Luckily the couple left to get some rest. I'm glad I have this chance to cry but I'm also not sure I want to be alone like this.

Just then I heard a groan. I shoot up off the floor and see that George is moving around a bit. I grab his hand and get sorta scared that this isn't real, that he's still asleep.

"C-Clay..." He says. He's okay, I sigh. "George I'm here, I'm right here." I smile at him. He smiles back.

*A few hours later*
-Clay-
George has been sleeping for about two hours. I'm still surprised he even woke up at all, I was thinking he wasn't going to wake up. I was looking at the floor, unable to do anything else.

"Clay, Clay?!?!" He almost yells. My eyes look over to George so fast. "Hey, I'm here it's alright I'm right here!" I grab his hand as I say this.

"I got in a crash..." He says. "I'm an idiot, I should've paid more attention!" He says. I'm starting to get angry, how could he think it's his fault? "Don't say that! It was just an accident, no ones fault." I say reassuringly. He doesn't look convinced.

"I could hear you crying when I was asleep... Are you okay?" He asks. Is he really asking me if I'm okay? He's the one who's laying in a hospital bed. I smile weakly at him before saying, "I was just worried that I'd lose you."

He nods, understandingly. "I'm sorry I made you worried, but you made me worried with all your crying." He jokes.

Wait, he could hear me crying? "You heard while you were out?" I ask. "Uh yeah but it was weird. I couldn't open my eyes or say anything. I couldn't even move." He says.

We sit there in a comfortable silence while I text Nick and Karl and tell them the news. They arrive shortly after, glad to see that George is okay.

*A week later*
-George-
I just got out of the hospital, sadly though, they said I need bed rest for a while. But I'm just glad to get out of that room.

"Alrighty, sit." Clay says as he helps me into bed. I'm glad he's here, I'd be miserable without him. Nick decided he and Karl were going to go to a hotel for a few days so they could get more into their relationship.

I didn't mind, it meant me and Clay got to be alone and I really wanted to be alone with him. Him and I need to figure out if we want to be together, although I already have my answer.

Clay interrupts my thoughts by saying, "Okay, I'm not leaving your side for a second, last time I did you got really hurt. If you need anything I'll be right here." He sits down on my bed.
