Chapter 19

When I got home it was just before 10:30 and I heard booming laughter from Sapnaps house. There's no way they're still here. I go inside and sure enough the whole crew is hanging at the dinner table. Except there's duffle bags in the kitchen? Everyone, except Dream who was wearing a hoodie and jeans as usual, was wearing sweats and a t-shirt. "Hey [y/n]!" Karl calls.

"[y/n] come join us!" Quality says.

"Yea come join us!" Sapnap joins in. I go to the table and sit next to Sapnap.

"Hi [y/n]." George says. Dream doesn't really greet me; he just makes eye contact and nods. I didn't mind though that is pretty standard for him.

"Hi. What are the bags about?" I ask.

"George didn't want to leave till he got to say hi to you so we just decided to spend the night." Dream answers.

"Sound logic. I guess my next question is when are yall going to bed?" I respond.

"I don't need sleep!" Sapnap declares.

"Yes, yes you do otherwise you get cranky and clingy." I say.

"Yea and then you say you're going to nap and accidentally sleep for like 6 hours and don't want to go to bed." Dream says. I laughed at that. Sapnap looked annoyed.

"He absolutely does." I agree with Dream and he laughs with me. We ended up staying up till 11 before Sapnap and I went to his room.

"Where were you for so long? Are you ok? What did wilbur need?" he asks.

"I went to my childhood home." I tell him.

"Really? What were you doing." He asks.

"Techno and I made dinner for everyone." I respond. He nods. Then he opens his arms for a hug and I take it. He held me for a bit. "Are you planning on going to sleep?" I ask.

"As long as I have you with me." He responds. With that we go to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The next few weeks were filled with intense election campaigning. I decided to stay impartial up until voting day came because I didn't want to have to choose between friends. Not helping my brothers with the election hurt though. They were both understanding of why but I still felt very guilty. Thankfully ranboo also tried to stay impartial to avoid conflict too. I kept my distance from Schlatt who thankfully wasn't doing that well. He had a few people who I knew would vote for him but definitely not enough to win. Thank god. I spent nights in the childhood home with wilbur, techno, phil, and tommy.

Those nights were honestly what got me through the stress of the election. Wilbur would play music, Techno would cook, Tommy and I would screw around and Philza was there to fulfill his father's role. I became close with Sapnaps friend group. More specifically George, I had still become a part of that group however. I took shit for it when hanging out with Ranboo or Tommy but I knew it didn't bother them that much. Ranboo had gone without an incident and spent a lot of time with Tubbo. We were still best friends but it feels weird to think we arent as close as before. That brings me to today. The day of the election. I really didn't know who I would vote for. I almost considered voting for fundy just because I knew there wasn't a chance of him winning.

Sapnap and I had walked to the newly constructed podium. There was a small room on the side for voters to enter their ballots. We were to vote at 12 and come back for results at 3. I ended up voting for wilbur. It came down to me thinking he would be more responsible than Quackity. Nothing against quackity. When I exited the little room schlatt was standing outside. I looked around but couldn't see sapnap or will. I became very uneasy.

"Well hello [y/n]. You must be pretty popular or it seems that way because you're always much too busy to make time for a conversation with me." He says. The smell of booze lingered on his breath.

"Why do you want to talk to me so bad? Are you drunk?" I ask. He smiles. Before he can answer Dream comes up to us.

"Hey [y/n] where did you go you were supposed to come finish that conversation with me." He says. We didn't have a conversation that needed to be finished. Words could not explain how grateful I was that Dream saw I was uncomfortable and came to my rescue. I turn away from Schlatt and walk away with Dream. "Are you ok?" He whispers. I nod.

"He's just... creepy." I tell him. He nods.

"Who did you vote for?" He asks.

"What? I don't have to tell you." I respond. He smiles and shakes his head and I realize he wasn't being serious. "Where is George?" I ask.

"Near the seats." He responds. I turn my path and head towards the seats. I spot George and Sapnap, I also spot Tubbo and Ranboo. I decided to sit with Ranboo instead.

"[y/n]!" Tubbo exclaims.

"Hey!" I say.

"I'm so nervous." Ranboo says.

"What don't be. It is gonna be ok." I was about to ask him what was going on when George and Sapnap came over interrupting.

"Hey Ranboo and Tubbo. Hi [y/n]." George says.

"Hi [y/n]." Sapnap says.

"Is it alright if they sit over here?" I ask.

"Of course." Tubbo responds.

"What exactly are we all waiting for? We have another like 2 hours." I say. George and Sapnap both shrug.

"I'm not really sure." Ranboo says.

"Wait George why aren't you with Quackity aren't you his vp?" Ranboo asks. George looks down and shakes his head.

"Quackity said he didn't want a vp anymore." George says quietly.

"What? How dare he. You helped him campaign." I say.

"He had told me he might do it a few weeks ago so I knew that helping him was a risk. He was pretty clear about his intentions the whole time and he genuinely felt bad telling me he didn't need a vp." George responds.

"It's still not right for him to do that right before the election." Sapnap says.

"Agreed." I say. George shakes his head.

"I'm not that upset about it. I'm more embarrassed than anything." He admits. I could tell he was uncomfortable so I tried to change the subject.

"What is up with Schlatt though? He comes back out of no where and just runs for president." I say.

"Yea last night he threw a bottle at purpled when purpled asked him to quiet down." Tubbo says.

"The other day he harassed poor Callahan to try and get him to talk, the fucker knows he is selectively mute." (Just in the storyline guys.) Sapnap says.

"We should probably go somewhere else if we're gonna talk shit about him." I say.

"And he acts creepy around [y/n]. She won't go anywhere near him without me." Sapnap says.

"[y/n] is right. We might wanna go somewhere else. My house is like 3 minutes from here." Ranboo says.

"Good idea." George says. We make our way to Ranboos house and once inside we sit down in ranboo's living room. I sit on the love seat next to sapnap, everyone else sits on the couch. We pick up conversation.

"I'm surprised Sam didn't run for president." Tubbo says.

"Nah he doesn't really consider himself part of Lmanburg." We gossiped for a bit about various topics then I helped ranboo fix up some lemonade for everyone and our conversation changed from gossip to just a genuine conversation. It was actually really nice to see some of my closest friends getting along and it not being awkward. It didn't last long however. 3pm came around quickly.

Thankyou verahee and AngeliaCouch for voting!
