Lead me on

Chapter Seven

George woke up the next morning with a message from Clay, his heart started to beat rapidly as he thought about the events of Saturday his breathing pace seemed to incline, he tapped on the message and his phone unlocked.

Clay <3
Hey, i'm sorry about yesterday can we talk? i'll pick you up at 13:30.
9:45 am

George sighed in relief it was okay, he hadn't messed it up, he took a long deep breath and shakily typed his reply
                                                                 George
                                       Yeah okay see you then :)
                                                                   12:00 pm

George had an hour and a half till Clay came to pick him up, he got in the shower and that's when it hit him, what if Clay doesn't like me, is he going to tell me he doesn't like me, omg what if he's not gay, holy shit what have i done. George's thoughts had consumed him he didn't realized he had been sitting on the floor of his shower crying, he checked his phone to see the time 13:15 he had been in the shower for nearly an hour. He quickly got out and threw on some comfy clothes, he didn't feel like dressing up today. He impatiently waited for Clays car to arrive outside his house, at 13:29 George heard a knock on his front door, "i'll get it" George shouted to his mum, he ran down the stairs to answer the front door, "hey" Clay said sounding rather miserable, "hey, you ok?" George asked noticing his tone of voice "yeah, i'm fine, do you wanna go?" Clay said trying to perk himself up a bit, "sure, mum i'm going out for a bit with a friend" George said letting him mum know where you were going, "okay love, i'll text you when i need help with dinner, love you" George's mum replied from the living room, "love you too mum" George said completely aware that Clay was standing in the doorway but George was not afraid to show he was 100% a mamas boy.

They both got into Clays car and pulled up outside a park near Alex's house, "listen, i don't know how your going to take this" Clay said regrettably, "okay?" George who was visibly confused replied, "it's about us, and Technoblade" Clay said clenching his teeth the nerves were starting to  get to him, "techn- what has he got to do with us?" George asked he realized what was going on, and tears started to roll down his cheeks, "i'm sorry, i never me-" Clay was interrupted before he could finish "do you even like me?" George asked "i- i don't know" Clay said as he hung his head. "actually i'll do you one better, Clay, are you even gay?" George asked between sobbing breaths he already new the answer, There was no reply from Clay his head was still hung low and George was overwhelmed by his emotions, "of course, god, what was i thinking, if it's too good to be true is probably isn't, isn't that right Clay? Don't bother answering , i don't want to hear it, i just can't believe i would be so stupid as to believe you, i loved you" George got out of Clays car and slammed the door shut and ran in the directions of Alex's house, Clay didn't know what to do as he finally raised his head tears started to form and he started crying, he punched his steering wheel in anger and got out of the car slammed the door so hard that the window shattered, and broke down on the floor. He sat there and a woman came up to him, "sir, are you okay?" the stranger asked Clay wiped his tears away, but he couldn't hold them back "i messed up, big time" he said to her, "here give me your keys and i'll drive you home" she said smiling at him, Clay reluctantly handed her the keys and got into the passenger seat of his car, the woman opened the door and saw glass all over the drivers seat, "shit i'm sorry i'll clean it up" Clay said seeing what he had done, "it's okay, i'll clean it, i don't want you to cut your hands" she replied picking up the glass and placing it in her empty coffee cup she got in and Clay told her his address and she drove him home.

George was running, he was running the fastest he had ever ran before. he was glad Clay didn't come after him, he didn't know what he would've said, he slowed down his pace and pulled out his phone to call Alex and Niki, the phone rang for about 10 second before Alex picked up "i- i'm coming over, i- i'll be there s-soon" He said sobbing down the phone at Alex "okay i'll see you when you get here, are you okay?" Alex asked knowing George was upset, "i'll explain when i get there" George replied and hung up to phone Niki "Nik, i need you, i'm going to Alex's now, Clay, he's, he's an idiot" George whimpered down the phone "aw honey i'm coming right now, i'll see you soon okay?" Niki said in her usual soft calming voice, "okay" George sniffled.
