the sunlight pierced through the cheaply made blinds and caressed the dirty blonde's tear stained skin. dream groaned as he lifted his head off of his pillow and sat up. dream slowly turned his head to look at the clock, his headache still pulsing in the back of his noggin.

the clock read 9:57am.

dream felt throbbing pains in his arm, and looked down to meet the many bandaids taped onto his arm. he got faint memories of the night before and tried to block them out. he started to cautiously peel back one of the many strips, wincing at the pain. once it was peeled back, he peered down at the scar. it wasn't too bad, it might just leave a scab for a bit then leave. it was definitely not as bad as the ones he had done in middle school. he still had scars from a couple of cuts that went really deep. dream placed the bandaid back onto his arm and went to grab his phone off of his nightstand.

he continued to check his messages until one in particular caught his eye. it was from the groupchat with him, karl, nick, and george.

dream shut off his phone and looked down at karl on his pallet that he had made, still fast asleep. dream decided to just leave the brown haired boy there to rest and dream went to scrolling on instagram.

karl's eyes fluttered open, meeting the empty wall in front of him. he stretched out his arms and turned around facing dream.

"good morning," karl yawned, as he continued to stretch. the floor was definitely not the best place to sleep. he had many sharp pains in his back and neck, but he was glad that he had come over last night. he didn't want to think about what would've happened if he hadn't of. "how are you feeling?"

"pretty good, just the cuts um, hurt." dream stated, looking down at the strips that sat upon his skin.

karl smiled at dream, and continued to pick up his phone and look through his notifications. dream noticed a huge smile come across karl's face. "did you see the groupchat?!"

"yeah, i'm pretty excited about it!" dream followed up, beginning to stand up to stretch out his limbs.

"this is crazy, i- i cant believe it!" karl giggled and did a little dance in excitement. dream wheezed at the small boy as he waved his arms around and wiggled his body.

a notification came through on karl and dream's phone. they both guessed it was the groupchat, and they both opened the messages.
