Foreshadowing

Chapter 3: in denial

George shot up, gasping for his breath. Once again he was dripping with sweat. He knew why, It was how he woke up every night, except this time he head tears streaming down his face.

"Why am i crying?"

He wasn't sure why he was crying, but it felt like he had just been stabbed in the chest. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach.

He turned to look at his alarm clock. 3:17am it read. "What..why so early?" He said, rubbing his eyes. He wasn't sure what to do, he knew he couldn't go back to sleep, he never could after having the nightmare.

He grabbed his phone and saw that he had a twitch notification. "Dream is streaming?" He hesitated before walking over to his computer. He joined Dream's stream, just watching. George decided to text Dream, to see if he could stream with him. A few seconds after he sent the message you could hear Dream's voice get excited as he told the stream that George was coming online.

It was around 3 hours later, Dream said bye to his viewers and ended the streak. It was around 5am, but George and Dream stayed on a discord call. "So how come your up this early?" Dream asked. There it was again, a sickening feeling in his stomach. Dream only asked him a simple question.

'Grow up George, this is Dream your talking to' he thought to himself.

"uh..bad dream i guess." George mumbled. "oh. you okay?" Dream asked. He sounded concerned, that made George's stomach get even worse. Why did he feel like this? Although Dream couldn't see him, he covered his face with his hands to hide the fact he was obviously blushing.

"George?" Dream asked, he was clearly concerned, George wasn't replying. After a few seconds George replied "uh yeah sorry. I'm fine, it always happens." he muttered.

"What do you mean?" Dream was asking so many questions, it was only because he cared, but George didn't want hun to keep asking, after all George was never good at expressing himself.

"It's nothing. It's just a nightmare i have quite often." He replied sheepishly. "Oh, well you can always talk to me George, you know that right?" Dream said reassuringly. "yeah i know." although that was a lie, how could he talk to him? How could he tell him everything about he's been feeling about Dream, about his nightmares.

"I'm pretty tired, i'm going to log off" I mean he wasn't lying, he was tired, but he wasn't exactly going back to sleep or doing anything productive. "okay Georgie" Dream cooed in a flirty tone. "Shut up" secretly George loved it when he called him that.

It was about 10 minutes after they ended the call, George got a snapchat notification from Dream. He quickly opened it, it was a selfie of him. George could feel his face burning. "What is wrong with me.." he didn't want to leave him on opened so he quickly snapped a picture of his face back asking what Dream wanted. Dream then replied with another selfie with text that wrote "I just wanted to check that you were alright." George didn't bother sending a picture back, his face was too red. Instead he just texted saying "yeah, I'm fine Dream thank you." That was a lie, he wasn't okay. He didn't know why though. He blamed it on his nightmare but he knew it wasn't because of that.

George was laying down on his bed, staring at his ceiling. "Surely I can't like Dream. No. I know i don't. I can't, he's my best friend." the thought of it made his stomach drop. Not only that it's his best friend and he didn't want to ruin their friendship, but because Dream didn't feel the same way, it was obvious.

It was a couple days later. George had been very quiet, he hadn't posted on youtube, he hadn't streamed and he wasn't posting on any social media. He knew he had to soon enough though. But he couldn't bring himself to, how is it that this feeling he had when he was around Dream was making him loose motivation. He loved his career doing youtube but he just couldn't bring himself to film anything. He was just so confused, I mean what was he supposed to do, he couldn't speak to anyone about it and it was eating away at him, he couldn't even admit it to himself.

Around an hour later he heard a knock at the door. He really didn't want to go and answer it but then he faintly heard a voice, calling is name. "George!" It was Sapnap. He would have to talk to him eventually so he got up and answered the door. Sapnap greeted him, looking concerned, he pulled him in for a hug.

"Okay jeez Sapnap. you can let go." George said, trying to squirm his way out of Sapnap's tight grasp. "Oh yeah sorry." Sapnap replied, rubbing the back of his neck. "So why did you come round?" George asked, trying not to come across rude.

"Why have i come round? um i don't know. maybe it's the fact that you've been completely silent on social media and haven't been answering my phone calls or texts! As a matter of fact you haven't answered anyone's texts, mine, Dream's, like what's going on?" Sapnap was slightly raising in voice, he sounded more concerned then angry.

Dream's been texting me? Maybe..
No George. He's just a good friend, he's worried about you.

"Oh yeah..sorry about that. I just needed a small break from everything. I don't even know where my phone is, i didn't see your texts. Sorry if i worried you." He replied very awkwardly.

"It's fine. I'm glad your okay. Look I need to go to work, I just wanted to come here on my way to make sure everything was fine." Sapnap explained before saying goodbye and leaving the house.

George was practically sprinting round his house, messing up everything, searching for his phone. "Found it!" he shouted. He turned on his phone seeing multiple missed calls and unread messages from his friends. He didn't care, he only wanted to read Dream's messages.

Dream:
Hey George what are you doing today!

Georgieeee

George?

you okay?

George your not messaging me or Sapnap? Have we don't something?

I don't even care if i've done anything, please just let us know your alright.

George felt his stomach drop. He felt awful. He felt so guilty, Dream must have been so worried. He was going to message Dream back, but he didn't know what to say. He decided to just call him, it would be easier to explain.

"Hello George?" Dream sounded worried. "Hey Dream." George replied timidly, he was scared, he didn't want Dream to be mad at him. "George what the hell! Where have you been? Why have you been ignoring me? Did i do something?" Dream still sounded concerned, but he let out a sigh of relief. "No no you didn't do anything. Nobody did. I just needed a break. I'm so sorry." He blurted out, stuttering. "Don't apologise George. If you needed a break then you should've just said." Dream sighed. "Are you mad?" George asked concerned. Dream let out a little chuckle "No i'm not mad. I was just worried."

Dream and George spoke for a while, talking about streaming. George was feeling a lot better, however he still got a sickening feeling in his stomach, but it was a bad feeling, he couldn't explain it.

Then his stomach completely dropped when Dream said "What are you doing tomorrow?" George knew he couldn't lie. "Nothing, why?" You can't see it but through the tone of his voice you could tell Dream was smiling "Well do you want to do something? Maybe me you and Sapnap?" George's heart was racing. "yeah sure." He tried to sound excited, he was, but more nervous. "Cool! We could come round to my house!"

What am I supposed to do? I can't even text him without getting all weird, let alone going to his house and seeing him in person.
