It has been a couple days since George and Dream arrived home from their trip away. They still hadn't told anyone about their relationship but they were planning on doing so within the next day or two.

"Georgie, i'm going to the shops, do you want anything?" Dream asked. "Do you have to go?" George said cutely. Dream's heart melted, he found George adorable when he was clingy. "Well we have like no food in the fridge, so yes sorry." Dream looked down to see George giving him the puppy dog eyes. Dream kissed his forehead and left the house.

An hour or so later Dream was pulling into George's drive away, he had returned from the supermarket. He quickly grabbed his keys and started to unlock the door, as he opened it the sight he was faced with is one that will haunt him forever.

George was sat against the wall, his legs up to his chest with his arms wrapped around them and his face squished to his knees, sobbing. Dream quickly rushed over, leaving the door wide open and dropped the bags of shopping on the floor. He sprinted to George and pulled him into his arms. "George what happened. George look at me, are you okay?" Dream was clearly concerned. George slowly lifted his head to look at Dream "Why did you leave me?" Dream's heart shattered as he saw George's face covered in blood and bruises, the words that left George's mouth cause streams of tears to flood out of Dream's eyes. "I'm so sorry George, please tell me what happened." Dream was sobbing, guilt was written all over his face, he should've been there. "A man broke in..he was looking for you. I told him to leave and he asked who i was so i said i was your boyfriend." George's voice was shaky and panicked. "Take your time George." Dream said reassuringly.

"He said he was an old friend..It was him Dream..It was Alex..he said to tell you it was payback, but only the start of it..that this was just the beginning." The beginning? What could that mean, Alex already beat the hell out of him, what more could he do? "I'm going to kill him." Anger boiled inside of him. "I shouted for you. begged for you to come. but you didn't." George sobbed and fell deeper into Dream's arms. "George I'm so sorry..this is all my fault. I will never leave you again. I promise." Dream felt so guilty, he should've stayed, or taken George with him. He felt awful. George was clearly in so much pain, mentally and physically.

A few hours passed, George was passed out asleep in his bed. Dream was sat beside him, stroking his fingers through is brunette hair. Dream didn't realised he was crying until water fell onto his hand. He couldn't look at George's face without feeling so much guilt, the marks Alex had left on him. Alex wanted to hurt Dream in the best way possible, and physical damage to Dream himself wasn't enough, he wanted to go after the person he loved.

"I promise i'm going to protect you Georgie." Dream whispered before leaning down and kissing George's forehead, he quickly stood up and quietly left the room.

Another few hours passed. Dream was passed out on the couch until he was woken by the sound of floorboards creaking. He jumped up looking around. "S-Sorry I didn't mean to wake you." George stuttered. Dream smiled and opened his arms wide, gesturing for George to come and cuddle him. George quickly walked over and practically leapt into Dream's arms quickly letting out a load sob. "It was so scary Dream. I was so scared." Those words hurt Dream more then the thought of Alex beating George, knowing that George was terrified, calling for Dream. Dream felt useless, he didn't know how to comfort him, how to help him. "I'm so sorry this happened George." Dream cried. "I'm sorry for what I said..none of this was your fault." George said apologetically. "No no you were right. I should've been there..I shouldn't have left you alone." Dream couldn't help but blame himself.

"You couldn't have known this was going to happen." George said comfortingly. George was only trying to help, but Dream should be the one comforting him. Dream squeezed George tight, he didn't want to even let him go.

God why did this have to happen to George. What was going to happen next, if this was only the beginning, then what is Alex planning...
