Sorry for not updating in literal months yikes haha. I was trying to focus on school and getting my grades up and I still am but I will try to update as often as I can. Idk how often that'll be but I'll try. Again really really sorry guys, but for now enjoy this bit of writing. 

My brain forced me awake around 4 am, ten times earlier than I'm used to. After checking the time and checking if Clay was asleep, he was unsurprisingly, I tried to go back to sleep, but something just felt off, I couldn't go to sleep. I've had issues with insomnia and early mornings before, but there was something odd about today, I just couldn't put my finger on it. Around 4:30 I gave up on sleep and instead went to go make myself a coffee. George was supposed to be asleep on the couch but I figured I could be quiet enough to hear him.

I crept down the stairs and began to make coffee, as I was trying to grab a mug, which was difficult considering Clay kept them on the tallest shelf, I heard George behind me, "Hey what are you doing up this early." I jumped around, and my heart pounded I wasn't expecting anyone to be up yet. He immediately apologized, "Oh sorry I didn't mean to scare you I just wanted something to eat." I nodded, smiled and replied, "Yeah yeah no problem I just couldn't sleep and wanted some coffee." He nodded and rubbed his eyes, we were both quiet sleep deprived. He walked over behind me after seeing me struggle to grab the mug and put his hand on my waist so he could reach up and grab a mug. I don't think he meant to put his hand there in a weird way but it gave me butterflies in my stomach and my heart started racing. After grabbing me a mug he went a sat down at the kitchen island. 

"So why are you up this early?" I asked as I poured my coffee. He shrugged and said, "Don't know I've always been an insomniac. It's kinda my curse." (Lmao this is just for the story I know George actually sleeps in too late hahaha) I nodded and offered him some coffee, he declined, but his eye bags said otherwise. After a moment of silence George asked, "So what's up with you why aren't you asleep?" I sighed and answered, "I don't really know. I used to have this problem a while ago, but I'm not sure why it's back." With a hint of concern he asked, "What problem?" My heart slightly dropped I hate talking about my issues, which George quickly read from my face and changed the subject by saying, "You know I'm really hungry you wanna go get some breakfast?" I looked down at my coffee, which looked quite disgusting and nodded. 

George jumped up and asked if I wanted to get changed, I looked down at my oversized sweatpants and hoodie I sat for a minute contemplating before he said, "You don't need to change, you look cuter when you're comfortable." I smiled nodded and followed him out the door. He was wearing sweatpants and a Dream hoodie too, so we could look homeless together. We both climbed in the car and I let George drive (I know once again in real life George can't drive but it's for the story) We decided to go to a small coffee shop Clay had shown me. 

As we were driving, I was just staring out the window and George asked, "Sorry if this is weird, but about what you were saying earlier, what problem? I- I mean you don't have to tell me but you know I'm someone you can talk to and trust." I sighed, I hate talking about my problems, but I didn't do it when they started and maybe it would help. "It's not that big of a deal," I began, "When I get anxious or stressed or something big happens in my life, I start to lose sleep. A while back it got to the point where I couldn't eat and had to go to the hospital. I'm not really sure what it's called, I don't think it's depression, just something I can't control." George fell silent for a minute before saying, "I- I'm really sorry. Is there anything I can do, like at all because you know I'm always here for you?" I replied, "Nothing that I know of I just like to try and keep my mind busy." He nodded and we pulled up to the coffee shop. As we walked in we were greeted by a empty shop excluding the barista. 

I sat down in the corner and George ordered us breakfast, by the time we got our food it was only about five and we both new for a fact that Dream and Sap wouldn't be up for another five hours, so we could take our sweet time. We talked for a bit about some streams we could try to do while we were together, and George had the idea of you laugh you lose, but when you laugh you get shocked, and with Clay's shock gear he used in an old stream, it would be easy. We planned to do it the next day after we got the stuff from Clay. We decided it could just be our thing so that it wouldn't be too many people. 

After finishing breakfast we got back in the car and George turned to me and said, "Hey do you wanna do something kind of spontaneous?" I didn't know what he had planned, but I'm down for anything, so I excitedly responded, "Yes of course!" He nodded and began to drive I don't know where, but hey we're living life.

Thanks so much for reading and almost 40k reads that's insane! Again so sorry for not updating I'll try my hardest to write more often, you guys are the best!
