chapter 6: return

TW: panic attack

The next day, Sam was waiting as usual and took George  through the safety precautions. He made George resign the contract
"if any security risk happens you will have to stay within the cell for 1-7days"
George didn't think anything of it as i would be very unusual for anything to happen considering everyone hates him.

Once again he was at the final stage... watching the lava go down slowly again. He stood there nervously tapping his feet and shaking his arms. The Lava eventually went. The path was back and so was the slender torso at the end of it.

He walked across it more confidently than last time. Dream made sure not show his delight due to last time, but he was surprised to see him back it made smile.

George got to the other end and Sam shut the gates behind him.
"Thanks Sam!"
"Just remember i can see/ hear through cams"
George looked up at the red light a the security camera showing that there on. Dream also looked up but sighed.

"Urm Hi George. I didn't know you were coming again, i'm really happy to see you..."

"Hey..."

there was an awkward moment of silence...
The pair stood there staring at there feet

Until George said
"So you wanted to talk... i read your letter."

"Ah yes. Please sit down with me?"
Dream said pointing towards the bed in the empty room, which was the only place to sit.

"i'll stand for now..."

"George please."

"fine"

George slowly walked towards the bed and sat a good bit away from Dream.

"You do know that i care right George?"

"i did."

"did..."

"i don't know now Dream. if you cared for me you would've known i wouldn't have wanted this."

"i know... i'm sor-"

"stop saying that"

"i'm sorry?"

"yes. they are just words Dream. it still doesn't tell me why."

"oh i'm so- i mean i understand you want answers"

"so give them to me..."

"George i"

Before Dream could finish his sentence the lights in the room went dark. The Prison alarm went off and red lights started to flash as siren sounds went off, deafening their ears.
George instantly stood up and shouted for Sam.
No reply. He carried on to shout for ages until Dream told him to stop.

George started to panic. His breathing started to go faster. He could never handle so many noise and flashing lights. He felt like he was being sucked in from the inside. Like he was dying. He sat himself down on the floor knowing he was having a panic attack. He tried to do his breathing controls, 1..2..3..4.. but he couldn't focus, his hands wouldn't stop shaking, it overwhelmed him to much.

Dream new how George reacts to these things. He saw him struggling to breathe. Dream slowly went down to the ground and slid himself next to George.

"George... come on. Just breathe this will all be over soon i promise. you just gotta breathe... just follow me ok?"

George nodded.

Dream started to inhale in and out at a slow pace. He moved his hand on to Georges holding it tight.
"Look at me. You can do this ok."
George was calming down, his head in his knees.
"Good good, you're doing it. just keep going. breathe slowly, you're doing so good."

After a few minuets he calmed his nerves. He did it.
Dream actually helped...
George turned his head to face Dream,
"Dream..."

"Yes"

"Thank you"

"I think i'm the last person you should be thanking..."

George looked back down at Dreams hand still grasping onto his.
Dream noticed it was still there

"Oh..." he quickly took it away, "Urm sorry about that"

George smiled down at his feet and they both just sat there for a bit in silence on the floor.
The lights stopped flashing and the alarm stopped ringing. It was just them in the dark room.

"I don't know how long you will be here George, you should sleep. You take the bed i'll stay here" 

"Oh... ok yeah i should probably sleep"
He didn't. He wanted to sit there next to Dream forever. But he didn't say that, Instead he got up and got into the prison bed, wrapped himself up until he was comfy enough to shut his eyes. To be fair the bed wasn't that comfy at all.

"Goodnight Dream."

"Goodnight George."
