dream sat in the back of karl's car, staring out the window as trees pass by.

karl and nick sat in the front seats and him and george were in the back, together.

george let out a slight laugh at his phone, and dream jerked his head over to see what george was doing.

"what made you laugh?" dream asked george.

karl and nick exchanged a look. they were surprised dream was actually able to talk to george.

"oh, it's just this funny picture rebekah sent me." george said as he looked up at dream.

karl was shocked, and looked at dream through his rearview mirror.

dream was frozen.

"is that the girl you met at- at the concert?" dream asked trying his best to sound as confident as he could.

"oh, yeah! i guess i forgot to tell you." george said, showing dream the picture in his phone.

the girl had long, dark, wavy brown hair. kind of like george's, but a bit lighter. she had dark green eyes that reminded dream of a never-ending forest. she wore round, silver glasses on her nose and she was holding a book in her hand.

"she- she seems, nice." dream said turning back to the window. dream felt numb. he hated the fact that george liked someone else, he couldn't stand it.

karl looked back at dream.

he saw dream staring out the window, and couldn't tell if he was about to cry or not. he seemed mostly frustrated to karl, which he was.

'dream doesn't look too good..' karl thought.

-

"we're here guys!" karl said, turning into a small ice cream parlor.

"finally, this car ride was so boring." nick confessed.

"i asked you if you wanted to play music but you were just playing on your phone." karl snapped back.

dream was about to say something to george, but when he turned around, he saw george smiling down at his phone.

'he's probably texting that girl,' dream thought.

karl looked at dream and saw his expression.

"hey uh, george," karl started.

george looked up at him.

"get off of your phone and hang out with us, your gonna be hanging out with your girlfriend later." karl criticized.

george got red in embarrassment.

"she's not my girlfriend, just shut up." george demanded.

dream laughed at him.

"what's so funny?!" george laughed looking up at dream in the eyes.

dream melted in george's eyes. he couldn't even speak.

"i- uhm," dream started.

"your smile, it's just, so, contagious. whenever im around you you make me happy, you make everyone one around you happy." dream blurted out.

george laughed at dream. "your so dumb."

"can you not take a compliment?" dream joked, once again, without thinking.

george nudged dream. even though it wasn't much, dream was happy with the bit of physical contact with george.

"okay guys," karl started. "it's your turn to order."
