"where are they? what is taking them so long?" karl questioned.

"dude, chill out! they are gonna get here sooner or later!" nick said, scrolling through instagram.

"hopefully they didn't stay up late doing.... stuff.." karl said, disgusted.

"what the hell do you mean?" nick said looking up from his phone.

karl became red. "um, nothing! nothing at all, just me saying random stuff, don't mind it!"

"karl. you have a secret you're keeping from me." nick said sitting up in his chair.

"WHAT?!? NO, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?" karl shrieked.

"just tell me! i won't tell anyone! i'm very good at keeping secrets!" nick beamed.

"i- i can't, nick. i truly do want to! but you have to find out yourself. it just wouldn't be right if i told you. ask dream later today. i'm sure he will tell you." karl explained.

"whatever, fine." nick said, pulling his phone back out.

"look! there they are!" karl squealed pointing at dream and george.

nick scanned dream and george to see any odd behavior, but he didn't find anything.

"hey guys! are you ready for another long day of practice?" karl asked, while nick is still looking for odd behavior in dream or george.

"i sure am!" george cheered, and dream nodding his head in agreement.

"alright guys, we are really gonna have to grind today, since our debut is tomorrow." nick said.

everyone agreed, and hopped into karl's car.

-

everyone sat around karl's room, exhausted.

"dude, can we please take a break?" dream asked.

"no! we have to keep practicing! we can't have any slip-ups tomorrow." karl answered.

"cmon dude! we are all exhausted!" george scoffed.

"yeah, we need a break." nick chimed in.

"okay fine. but now that we have all practiced our own parts, can we try doing it together, just once before our break?" karl said, begging the guys.

they all looked at eachother, back and forth to see if everyone was okay with it.

"okay, fine. just this once!" dream said.

"THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! okay, everyone, get in your positions!" karl yelped.

everyone was ready.

forty days and forty nights,
i waited for a girl like you to come and save my life.

dream was trying his best to stay focused on his guitar, but george's singing kept distracting him, and karl noticed. he nudged him a bit so that dream would get back on track.

you were out of my league
all the things i believed
you were just the right kind
yeah, you were more than just a dream

dream imagined george singing him this song. his heart started racing. he wished george felt the same way he did. he didn't want to wait any longer.

"WE POPPED OFF!" karl shouted.

"LETS GO!" continued nick

dream then realized that he had daydreamed about him and george throughout the whole song. he felt bad that karl had to carry the guitar parts.

"hey karl," dream whispered. "i'm sorry that i wasn't really playing to my best extent, i was... kinda sidetracked."

"it's okay! just try to not let that happen at the show tomorrow." karl told dream. dream nodded in agreement.

"i'm so excited to perform tomorrow night!" george giggled.

once again, dream was drawn in from geroge's giggles.

"same!" dream said.

"okay, just a couple of more rounds of practice and we can all go home and get a good nights rest!" karl said.

-

"bye guys, see you tomorrow!" karl said as he walked back to his dorm room with george.

"hey, dream, can i talk to you?" nick asked.

"um, yeah sure." dream replied. his mind started racing with thoughts. what if nick knows about his new found love for george?

once they got back to dream's dorm, they both sat down on the bed. dream could also tell that nick was nervous, considering his leg was bouncing up and down rapidly.

"why did you need to talk to me?" dream asks nick.

"well, uh..." nick started to stutter.

dream started to shake. he started to sweat.

they could tell that they were both anxious, and they both laughed at that.

"i was talking to karl e- earlier and he said some stuff  about you and george and he said that i- it would be better for me to ask you about it, personally." nick mumbled.

dream started to spiral. he thought about everything that had happened the past couple of days. his eyes were flooded with tears.

nick noticed, and felt horrible about asking him about it.

"if you don't wanna tell me that is perfectly fi-"

"i'm in love with george." dream blurts out as more tears trickle down his face.

nick sat there in shock. he couldn't move or say anything.

"you probably think i'm weird now or you don't wanna be friends with me and stuff like that and i'll accept that if you don't want to but-"

"shut the hell up," nick started.

dream froze.

"i will always accept you, no matter what. okay?" nick asked dream.

"o-okay" dream said, giggling a bit while wiping away his tears.

"now stop crying, you're making me tear up." nick said drying his eyes.

dream stretched across his bed and gave nick a big hug, his friends had no idea how much it meant to him that they supported him.

"please, don't tell george. i don't want things to be weird tomorrow night at our first concert." dream said.

"no problem. your secret is safe with me." nick told dream, patting him on the back before he left for his room.
