It Started With a Bloody Nose

Running Out Of Time: Dreams POV

I had to stay an extra 15 minutes in class because I was asked by the teacher to stay behind so that we could talk. I had no clue what Mrs Pope wanted to talk about but it was obviously something important if I had to stay after the last class of the day. While talking to the teacher about my grades and how I have to try to get better marks to graduate sometime in the future. It came to my attention that I wasn't with George and didn't know where he was, I wouldn't think that he would stay 15 minutes to wait for me but you never know. After the longest 15 minutes of my life was over, I started to walk to Georges locker to see if he was there waiting for me. As soon as I got to his locker he wasn't there as I expected...Huh he must be walking home I thought to myself. I walked myself to the exit of school to walk to Georges house to see if he was there. But while walking through the empty hallways of the school something just felt off, something wasn't right, But I just thought it was because I was hungry since I didn't eat lunch today. Hearing the echoes coming off of the hallways walls sent a chill down my spin, it made me flinch a little. After walking down the halls I finally made it to the exit and started walking in the direction of Georges house. While walking on the sidewalk to Georges house, I saw someone with a dark hooded sweater walking out of the park with their hands in their pocket while looking down at the ground trying not to make any eye contact with me which was weird, but I just brushed it off like it was nothing. 30 seconds away from Georges house I picked up the speed to get to the front steps of Georges house, as soon as I got to the front steps I ran up the stairs and opened the front door to get it. As soon as I got in I noticed George's parents were sitting on the couch,
“Is George here?” I asked while standing at the door still holding onto the door handle
“Uh I don't think so...Why do you ask?” His mom replied
“It's just that I can't find him, but he's probably out with his other friends like Wilbur and Tommy.”
“I'll go see if he's there with him.” I said sounded like nothing was wrong on the outside, but on the inside my heart was racing because he would never go with Wilbur and Tommy without telling me. I walked out the door and started rushing down the stairs, I got my phone out of my back pocket and texted Wilber to see if George was with them.
Hey Wilber,<Dream> it took him a minute to respond
What's up Dream? <Wilbur>
I just have a quick question<Dream>
Yeah what is it?<Wilbur>
Is George with you by any chance?<Dream> I typed as my fingers trembled
…
No I thought he was with you?<Wilbur>
oh...When was the last time you saw him if you know?<Dream>
Right after the bell ringed<Wilbur>

Did he say anything to you?<Dream>
He didn't say anything to me but he did mumble something to Tommy… Ill ask<Wilbur>
Ok Thanks<Dream>
...
He said something about the park, but that's all he heard.<Wilbur>
Ok thank you<Dream>
Maybe he just wanted to be alone for once, I'll go check if he's there I thought to myself. As i'm walking to the park it came back to me that earlier there was that weird man walking out of the park. The thought made me pick up the speed, first walking, second speed walking, third jogging and then fourth sprinting, within 3 minutes I would reach the park's entrance and enter. I started looking around from the spot I was in, And when I didn't see anything I began to walk down the path to the bench where me and George sat that one time. As I started to get closer to the bench I would start to notice the odd red spots on the pavement, as I was getting closer and closer I would see George laying In a pool of his own blood, I ran up to him only to see how much he was bleeding from every part of his body. My knees were starting to feel weak, my eyes started to tear up, and I couldn't find my voice to speak.
“Geor-”
“George?” the tears were now running down my face like a waterfall
“GEORGE!” I couldn't stop myself from crying or yelling, I fell to my knees while taking my two hands to lift his head up from the bloody ground. As I lifted his head from the ground, I slid behind him so I could hold him. I grabbed my phone with my shaky hands and dilled 911,

“911 what's your emergency?” The lady said on the other end of the phone
“I just found my boyfriend beaten up in the *Name of park*  park… I need an ambulance” I said as the tears just kept running down my face
“They are on their way, When did you find him like this?”
“Not even 5 minutes ago, and I have no clue how long he's been here either.”
“Ok I need you to stay on the line with me.”
“I can't, I'll wait for the ambulance and the police.”
“No si-” then I hung up the phone

Georges legs were bruised and looked like one of them were broken, his arms were also severely bruised while trying to protect his head I'm guessing.
“George” I said looking down at his resting face while he was knocked out,
“George please wake up-”
“I can't lose you too” I said letting the wet tears fall off my face,
“You're literally all I have at this point, and if you leave me I will never forgive you. I will never ever forgive you for leaving me like this.”  I said sobbing loudly,
“Georgie, George please...What am I without you?” I added on,
...
“Mine” George said in a whisper, while struggling to open his eyes,
“GEORGE! I LOVE YOU, PLEASE DON'T GO, NOT YET!” I yelled holding onto him tighter.
“I love you too Dream, remember that, i'm no- i'm not leaving just yet.” George said still smiling,
“The ambulance will be here soon, please stay with me till then.” I said running my fingers threw his dark brown hair trying to comfort him.
“Dre- Dream can you hold my hand?” George asked while letting a tear run down his beat up face
“Of course I can.” I took my right hand and held onto his left,
…
“If I'm going to be honest, I don't think I have much time Dream” George said using all of his left over strength to squeeze my hand,  
“Don't say that George, you are going to be ok, I can't lose you yet, because if I do I'll join you-” I was quickly cutted off,
“No, if I leave I still need you to go on and live a happy life without me.” george said letting the tears run down his face,
“What's a happy life without you George!” I said whipping the newly form tears off of my face,
“A life where you still have a chance to live, a life that I would still want.” George picked up his voice,
…
“George you're going to be ok, i'll make sure of it.” I said putting George into a light hug,
Seconds later I would hear the sounds of sirens going off in the background. They got closer and closer until they got to the parks entrance,
---
Minutes later, I would be in the same ambulance as George still holding his small cold hand as the people worked on George. He looked into my eyes and I looked into his while he was still managing to put on a smile, but that was Until he started to close his eyes… the smile was now turning into a resting frown, and my heart would drop to the bottom of my chest. Everyone started to panic and worked quicker to see what else was wrong, I would just stare at his rising and falling chest, until his chest didnt raise anymore.
