George's pov

"When's the world gonna stop getting worse?!" Oh right, you don't know. The events of the past 7 years have been insane. No one thought it could get worse after 2020, but boy were they wrong. Leaving your house is barely an option anymore- the virus back then was nothing compared to now, compared to how much it has grown.

I am currently 26, I had basically just turned into an adult when it all started, I'm lucky to have been at the age I was at. Not old enough for whatever they had planned, but not young enough to be in, let's say, a public school. Anyone from the ages 21 to 35 had to work for them. If you refuse, they take you with an unknown consequence.

"George? Are you even listening???"

I break out of my thoughts, and immediately acknowledge the man talking in our call.

"Sorry no Sapnap, I was just-" I start tearing up, unable to finish my sentence. It's part of our lives now. It has been for years. Just except death.

"I'm sorry George, I- I dont really know what to say-"

"We all know this is just going to continue- so why can't we just fucking get over it?!?!" My fist pounds against my desk, if I wasn't so used to it, it probably would've hurt.

Why did they have to take HER OF ALL THINGS?! The only true source of entertainment or love I had left, my own sister.

"George are you oka-"

"What do you fucking think?! You couldn't even understand the amount of pain I had to go through. The only thing you lost was a fucking animal. Be lucky you still have all of your family." I'm barely aware of any of the things coming out of my mouth. But just as I took in what I said, I heard a small "sorry" right before the discord leaving-call sound.

I immediately text him my apologies, I wish I didnt always mess up all the time. It's getting worse, I need to control what I say but- it feels impossible. It hurts to much.

After a couple of minutes I get a text back saying, "it's alright- I understand don't worry. I couldn't imagine how you feel I- I'm so so sorry."

Without responding, I fall backwards into my bed and curl into a ball. I grabbed the nearest pillow to sob into. Another long night. Great.
