QUICK NOTE!

hi, if your reading this then i guess i've published this? um yeah so here is a quick note on the first night I decided to write this. I currently have no clue what this story is going to be about, I'm just going to role with it.

If it's bad then I'm sorry I have literally never done anything like this before! All I know as of right now that the story is going to be about Dream and George and yeah:)

Also, the information is not going to be like based off of reality like how long they've known eachother, their ages may be incorrect, this is because I'm completely making this story up and changing around everything. This might range from being in first person and third person but I am going to try make that as clear as possible of who is speaking, etc.

(TW - Mention of blood, gunshot, this will be mentioned very frequently in this story)

"GEORGE RUN, YOU HAVE TO RUN." Said a man, a tall man, with dirty blonde hair and emerald green eyes.

"No it's okay, we are going to be okay, listen just come on, a little further." George said panicked

"George listen to me. You need to leave. If you don't then he is only going to get the both of us." He then fell to the ground.

"Clay! Are you okay? Here let me look" George lifted up Clays shirt slightly, revealing a gunshot wound. "I- your bleeding really bad."

"George he is coming. I can't run. Please I will be okay just run, go get help."

George looked at him, clearly distressed "Okay, I'll be right back okay? I'm going to get help!" George started to get up from the ground.

Clay grabbed the bottom of George's sweater and tugged on it. George quickly looked down.

"Listen George. If he comes, if anything happens. Do not look back. Just run. Promise me you will run." Clay said, stuttering his every word, he was in abdominal pain, he had just been shot after all.

"No Clay, I can-" George was quickly cut off "Promise me, please I'm begging you."

"I..I promise." George said hesitantly.

George started to run. He needed to get help, Clay was loosing a lot of blood.

A few seconds later, when George was far from Clay, he could still see him if he'd looked back, but hardly, there was a loud bang, a gunshot.

George turned around. There he was, Clay, he was lying there, he started to run back. Until he came to a stop, remembering what he had promised Clay, and how if he only went back now he'd get himself killed too.

George woke up, grasping for his breath, coated in sweat. He wasn't confused, this had been happening for the past 2 months, ever since he moved to Florida. He wasn't sure why, but every night he had the same nightmare, about a man who he didn't even know. All he knew is what he looked like and his name, Clay. It always felt so real, but he was glad that it wasn't, that it was always just a dream.

He walked out of his room, and walked downstairs to his kitchen to get a glass of water. His hair was a mess, he was dripping with sweat and completely out of breath. He placed the glass down after chugging the whole cup of water, even more out of breath.

He walked to a door in the corner of his living room, he opened it, revealing a cupboard that held towels, face clothes, etc. He grabbed a towel, then walked to his bedroom, then started rummaging through his drawers and pulled out some black sweatpants and a white tee.

He sluggishly walked to the bathroom, opening the door, chucking all of his clothes onto the floor, and then hopped into the shower. Around 10 minutes later, he emerged out of the bathroom and then dived onto his couch and turned on the tv.

A few minutes passed, he grabbed his phone and saw he had a iMessage notification. It was a text from his friend, Nick. However, Nick prefers to be called Sapnap, it was his Minecraft username.

Sapnap:
Hey!

George:
Hi

Sapnap:
What are you doing today?

George didn't really want to say that he wasn't doing anything. He wasn't in the mood to go out anywhere, and he knew that if he responded with 'Nothing' that Sapnap would try and encourage him to go out and do something, like he had been for the past 2 months since he moved, but George always said he couldn't and blamed it on 'getting settled in' but he knew he had to leave his house eventually.

George:
Nothing

Sapnap:
Well if your free, do you
wanna go get something to eat?

George:
Yeah, sure why not.

Sapnap:
Great! I'll be at yours in 10!

It was around 1pm and George and Sapnap were at a local cafe. Around a 10 minute drive from George's place. Sapnap started speaking, George couldn't really hear him though, most likely due to the fact he was day dreaming, thinking about the dream he'a been having.

"Don't you think?" Said Sapnap. "uh..um what?" He quickly came back down to earth, he hadn't heard a thing Sapnap said. Sapnap gasped, along with a chuckle, trying to act offended that George wasn't paying attention.

Suddenly George's attention was on a man, sitting in the corner of the cafe, alone. He couldn't make out exactly what he looked like from this distance, but for some reason he felt like he knew him, like from what he could see, he recognised him.

"Sorry Sapnap, I'll be right back." George said, walking off in a hurry. He walked over to the man "Hi, sorry to bother you but, um..do I know you?" The man looked up. George quickly stepped back, clearly startled. He was petrified, he wasn't hiding it either, it was written all over his face.

"I don't think so.." The man said. He could see how startled George was. "um..are you okay?" George quickly snapped out of it. "Yeah sorry. I..uh..I thought you were someone else. If you don't mind me asking, what's your name?"

The man was visibly uncomfortable. You could sense the awkwardness. "uh..my name is Clay." The man replied. George's heart was beating out of his chest, his palms were sweaty and his face had gone completely red, he felt it burning up.

It was him. The man from his nightmares.
