Hi. Umm as some of you know I had a poll on Twitter but I decided to spice it up a bit for this chapter so   hear it is (no spoilers). Btw to clarify the sofa-bed is just going to be called bed now (it's still a sofa-bed tho)  also only about 1.5% of you guys give votes so please do :) (yes that's right I did the math).                     Anyways enjoy:)

It was warm and my eyelids were incredibly heavy. I felt at home. Like somehow I had returned to a safe place, away from the messed up world. I felt like I was on cloud nine. I shorty started to understand that I wasn't in heaven. Nether at home, I was sill at the summer camp, in the sofa. It took me some time until I recalled what had happened the other night. I had yelled and even punched one of the group leaders in the face. I was still mad even after the time that had passed. I groaned, pushing my face deep in the pillow. Then I suddenly remembered that George was still in the bed with me. I opened my eyes to find no one at first. I got confused. Wait.. was he already up? To be fair it wasn't that early at all. WAIT, what was that?! I felt something moving below me, closer to my chest. I lifted the comforter to see bits of brown hair curled to my chest. It was George. He was still sleeping deeply. Now realizing what the heat was coming from I blushed. Omg, how am I gonna get out of this?...... should I?
I tried to glide out of his grasp but George just snuggle closer. Should I wake him up? Is that mean? He kinda looks cute.. -Wait WHAT- no I ... I didn't mean that. I decided to not wake him up as he was sleeping so peacefully and I would hate to ruin that. I instead just let him feel safe close to me, it's not like it meant anything. It's just that he needed the support, right? After a little while he started to move around and making small attempts at opening his eyes.

Groan, I heard coming from George. I looked down towards my chest. George was breeding slow and tiredly. Finally he opened his eyes. I didn't know what to say at first. "George?" I said in a rather quiet tone. George realized how close we were to each other and froze. I could see that he wasn't very comfortable so I scooted away slightly to look him in the eyes. He blushed heavily. What should I say? He knows I was awake before he was, but didn't do anything about he situation. Geez. Why is he so quiet.

     -change POV-
When I opened my eyes I was meet a white wall. I scrunched my eyebrows closer in confusion. I soon realized it wasn't a white wall at all... it was Dream. It was his white t-shirt that I was staring at. I-I had snuggled close to him this hole time?!? Shit! What the fuck am I suppose to do now!? Stop staring! I thought to my self as my face turned to a crimson red.
"George, are you alright?" Dream spoke up.
"I-I..um I'm sorry!" I almost yelled. My hands went to cover my face in embarrassment. Dream took it as a sign that I was about to start crying. "Hey, it's okay. You didn't mean it." Dream said as he patted me on the back. As much as he was right, I hated it. I hated how I didn't have the guts to do anything. I hated how I was acting, everyday so far, Dream  have had to protect me even for some of the smallest things. Like with Karl. Dream have had to but up with someone who just embarrass them self all the time.  Someone that is a wast of time for him, ruining he's summer time. Dream probably did this out of pity...

"You want to go eat breakfast, the cafeteria closes soon." Dream said as he walked out of bed and grabbed some new clothes. I nodded. We hurried down to the cafeteria that was by the beach. When we walked in it was mostly empty. Most had already eaten by now. We made each some sandwiches with what was placed out for everyone and sat down. I sat a bit away from Dream still on the same table, trying to avoid talk. Dream looked at me with a bit of a confused look. He was about to say something when Suddenly Amy walked up.
"Hey sleepyheads, you guys sleep well?" Amy said joyfully.
"Umm, well yeah." Dream answered. Did he thought? Maybe I kept him up. Was he lying? Yes, of course he was. He just said that to not make anything look weird between us. Between us?
"That's great because we're all going on a hike today." Amy said with an excited smile.
"Oh, alright sounds fun. When are we going" Dream asked Amy looking over to me as if I had any opinion about the hike. I did, it sounded fun but if I was going to be with Dream I was going to prevent him from finding 'real' friends. He was going to have to protect me from the bullying but I rather stand it to not be taking pity on and completely ruin someone's chances to get friends.
"Where going in about two hours. So be ready at the camping meeting area." Amy said.
Dream and I nodded. "Alright see you guys there." Amy said before walking away. Dream looked at me. I looked down at the table, avoiding eye contact.

"Are you good George? You haven't said anything since we were in the cabin." Great, more pity on me. When is he going to stop. Maybe if I just ignore him he will just...forget me...
"I have to go to the bathroom." I lied as I stood up and made my way to the bathrooms. Dream was confused but didn't say anything. I didn't go back to the cafeteria but instead just went around the camping site trying to avoid Dream. I had walked past cabins, trees , ice cream shop and some different camping activities. I had seen Dream around the campsite looking for me, but he didn't notice when I stood from afar. Soon it was time to meet up at the camping meeting area. There was already a large amount of people crowded there. I made my way over and saw some familiar faces, I saw the bullies and one of them had a black eye. They stood father away from where I was and then I saw ...Karl!
"Alright people pick someone to go side by side with. We don't want you guys getting lost and especially not by your self." One of the camping leader said. I looked over at Karl. This was my chance. I could walk with Karl and Dream wouldn't have to care about me anymore. Sigh, he could find a friend that would share the same status as him, not some idiot that embarrass them self.

"Karl!" I shouted and waved my hand. "Hey George." Karl responded. I walked and stood next to him. I was going to ask him if we could walk together when I got cut of by one of the leaders.
"Okay, when we go for a hike it's super important to not walk off track. DO NOT walk straight into the forest. There will be bad weather in the afternoon. So everyone HAVE to be here before four." Amy said loud and clear.
"Hey, Karl woul-" I got cut of by a loud voice. "George!" the familiar voice was none other than Dream. He sounded worried and mad at the same time. Dream looked at me with disappointment in he's eyes. He grabbed my arm and dragged me away. "I need to talk to you. We'll go with each other." Dream told me. I blushed. Damnit.                                       We made our way on the track, walking in to the forest. Most people were way ahead. We walked slowly and in silence. Dream then spoke up.

"George..why have you been ignoring me? Did I do something?" No, I did. I'm not a good friend. I'm ... weak, i thought to myself. I kept quiet. It was sweet how he cared... that he thought it was his own fault. I shacked my head to Dream. "Why don't you want to talk?" Dream asked worryingly. I shrugged. "Is it that you don't want to sell me?"
I just shrugged my shoulder again. Dream was clearly upset that I didn't want to answer. It was a loud silence when we walked. Sometimes our eyes would catch glances at each other. Even though we didn't directly talk, it felt like we were. But in a different way, our eyes would meet the same sun shining on us both and our hands would so slightly brush each other. We heard the same mocking birds singing and we both smiled when we saw some deers afar. We had been walking for a while until we came to a crossing. It was a sign pointing to the left. "I guess we go this way" Dream said as we started to walk in the left direction. After some more walking it started to cloud up, thick dark clouds sweeping over the sun. And cold wind blowing in the treetops.

"George, I'm worried that it might start to rain soon we need to hurry!" Dream says in the exact moment it started to flood heavy rain. Me and Dream started to run. It took mili seconds until the rain had formed pools and the ground had gotten muddy. The ground was so slippery I fell and hurt my knee hard to the ground. No blood thankfully, but it hurt like hell.
"George! Are you okay?!" Dream shouted and ran back to help me get up.
"Y-yeah I'm fine." I lied. It hurt really bad but the least thing I wanted was for Dream to pity me. In one way I liked how he cared but the logical part off me new that I was just being a pain. That I was nothing more than some new boring friend he helped. I was nothing more than a friend...
"Can you walk?" Dream made an attempt on leading me forward to walk. I hissed at the pain and started to tear up. It wasn't like he could see my tears in the rain anyway. Dream decides to put my arm over his shoulder and help me walk.  It had gotten to such bad whether it had started to thunder loudly. We walked for a little while until we found a dry cave.
"This will do." Dream said as he carefully placed me down by a wall. He sat himself, facing me. All of his and mine clothes were socking wet. I can see through his t-shirt.....oh god. He's hair is all messed up as well...no stop. I can't think about him that way. He wouldn't want that..would he?

"Are you okay?" Dream asked with a worried look in he's eyes. Fuck the speaking thing, I thought.
"Cough, cough. I'm alright." 
"No you're not. Stop lying. Can you please tell me what's going on and why you ignored me?" Dream asked with a serious look. I can't tell him, can I? Sigh, maybe that will be for the best.
"I-......okay. I'll tell you."

Alright that sums it up, I know I'm mean... and ik I said I would let the winning poll be the next chapter but I accidentally putt it the night before. Soooo I predicted the poll wrong so this is what came out off it. But George will get sick I promise!! (Wow that sounds like some kind of threat)
Anyways... word count: 2006
