Third Times The Charm

"George?"

I turned around to see the source of the shaky voice. Clay, he was here, how was he here? He just stood there, staring at me. I looked into his eyes, they looked hurt, but worried.

He was frozen, "I- is, is that- never mind." He stuttered. He walked over to me slowly, pulling into his chest.

His touch instantly calmed me down as I melted into the hug.

"Let's go inside." Niki suggested while getting up. "Where's Tommy?" I asked while standing up to follow her. "He's with Tubbo." She sighed.

"Tubbo's here?!" I shouted from behind her. "Ye, Tommy didn't want to tell you yet because he wanted you to sleep, but he'll be here soon." She explained.

"Is he happy?" I asked almost whispering. "Only because of you." She smiled before turning back and walking into the house.

I felt Clay grab my hand, pulling me back to him. "What the fuck is going on?" He asked frantically. "I told you I don't have an easy past, I'll try explain everything later, but first, how did you find me?" I sighed.

Dream POV

Sap and I were sat on the sofa, both of us extremely inpatient. It has been about 2 hours and none of them were answering their phones.

"Sap please let me track them." I whined. "No dream! You're not hacking their phones, I know you can do but they're adults, they can leave the house without us." He explained.

"But I miss them." I whined. Sap just glared at me in response.

Suddenly the door bursted open and Alex and Karl ran in. I looked behind them for George but they shut the door.

I looked up at their faces and they looked scared. They were out of breath and flustered.

"Where is George?" I asked, trying to stay calm. "Um.. well, funny story." Karl started but got interrupted by Alex: "He's fine! I think. But don't kill us, he's an adult."

Why do people keep saying that! I know he's an adult.

"What happened?" I spoke through gritted teeth. "Okay" Karl sighed. "So we were in the park and we went to our private area to watch the clouds." Karl explained looking at Sap for reassurance.

"We were there for a while but then we noticed George was crying, I don't know why, he said he was fine so we just went back to watching the clouds." At this point he had walked over to Sap to sit on his lap, Alex was basically hiding behind them.

"We heard footsteps approaching us and then a boy came out, he was also crying. Him and George seemed to know each other and he basically begged George to come home with him. George agreed but was a little unsure of seeing, someone? I don't know who, they just said "him." I think the boy's name was Tommy."
I nodded for him to continue.

"Tommy said he was the closest thing to "him" he had left and that they weren't mad anymore and that it was their fault too. Do you know what they're talking about?" He asked me.

"Em.. Yeah. I think so, he told me it was his fault a lot. I don't know what was his fault, but I know someone he loved died and he blames himself. That's all he ever told me." I sighed. "Did he say anything else?" I asked.

Alex and Karl shared a guilty look with each other, Karl nodded then Alex began to speak. "Well we asked what to tell you and George said it doesn't matter, Tommy then asked who you were and got mad when we told him. He said to tell you he was going to his..." Alex gulped. "His boyfriend's house!" Karl shouted quickly.

Sap gasped and Alex and Karl both looked down. "I-is Tommy his boyfriend." I asked, tears filling up my eyes. "No!" They both shouted.

"Sap can I track him now?" I asked, looking up. "Yeah." He sighed.

George's POV

"Uh.. well Karl and Alex came home worried and they told me about Tommy, so I um- I tracked your phone?" He said, almost like he was asking me.

"Of course you did." I rolled my eyes. "You need to go. This is my life before I met you and there's a lot of history." I sighed, I didn't really want him to go, I needed him with me, and he could see that.

"I'll stay with you George, it'll be okay." He hummed.
