Clay's POV

I nervously looked at my feet and sighed deeply. 'I beat him up and I have never regretted anything more than that.'

I couldn't stop myself and bursted into tears as I sat down next to George, grabbing his hand. 'We've made up, I'm not mad at him,' George said. 'Please, don't send him home.'

The teacher looked at me in shock and I started crying even harder. 'It's because of my dad, he hated me, he abused me and beat me up until I was in the hospital. I know, it doesn't make what I've done right, but believe me. I didn't want it, but I hated my dad so badly and I wanted to get my anger out. I know I need help, I actually do.'

It was quiet in the room and Sapnap sat down next to me on George's bed. 'Is that why you were this mean to George?'

'Yes, I was jealous and I-I'm in love with him.'

'So you are gay?' Sapnap asked me with a comforting voice.

I nodded slowly and Sapnap smiled.

'That's totally fine, I wish you would have told me all of this from the start.'

I nodded slowly and grabbed my phone. 'I texted Niki, she has replied. I'm too tired to check.'

Sapnap grabbed my phone and read the messages. 'She's not mad at you, she wants to help. She says that her mum helps people with getting the right help, she can call her to help you seek help.'

I nodded. 'Please, I need help. I know I do.'

I turned back to George and hugged him as tears rolled down my face. I leaned to his ear and sighed softly before I said what I wanted to.

'I love you, George. I love you so much.'

George smiled at me and grabbed my hand. 'I love you too,' he whispered back.

Sapnap giggled. 'Is there a romance between you?'

I shrugged. 'As I said, I'm in love with him. I don't think he's with me though. But that's totally fine, I deserve all the pain in the world. I deserve to be heartbroken after I broke him. No one can tell me differently.'

No one replied and we heard sirens coming closer. The teacher ran outside to tell the paramedics where to go and they came running in, looking at George laying down.

'What happened?' one of the men asked.

'I cut myself,' George whispered.

The paramedic nodded and lifted George up on a stretcher since he couldn't walk.

'Can I come with him, please?' I asked.

'You can,' the man nodded and I ran with them to the ambulance which was waiting in front of the building. George got lifted into the ambulance and I climbed in after that. They removed his bandages to take care of his wounds and gave him an IV to give him blood. He lost way too much and was really pale.

I was running my hand through George's hair and dared to press a kiss on his cheek. 'Please, keep fighting. I know life is so rough, but don't give up.'

George nodded slowly and grabbed my hand to kiss it. I blushed a little bit and smiled shyly as I realised my love had just kissed me again.

The paramedics just let us flirt with each other as we went to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital around ten minutes later, George was given a lot of blood already. Now they were going to stitch his wounds, luckily he wasn't in danger anymore.

George got told to spend the evening in the hospital and they immediately checked up on his bruises. They didn't ask where they came from luckily, but I felt incredibly guilty when they stated that George had one broken rib and a broken nose.

George grabbed my hand and pulled me close. 'Please, stop feeling guilty about this. This had to happen for you to forget about the deep hate inside you. I got the sweetest Clay back after that, so I don't mind. You were stuck with yourself and now you're a little bit more free.'

I smiled and sat down next to his bed as all doctors had left the room. I looked at George and he smiled at me, pulling me a bit closer. I got really nervous and noticed that my breathing rhythm fastened. George's hand softly stroked my shirt as he pulled me even closer.

He smiled at me and I started leaning in now. Before I even realised what was happening, I felt George's lips touch mine. I closed my eyes as he did the same and melted away in the kiss.

It seemed like George's lips were made to be on mine as we moved our lips in sync in our passionate kiss. I cupped his face really carefully and he held my shoulders tightly to pull me as close as possible.

I didn't want to break the kiss, so George ended up breaking it when he ran out of air. He smiled at me, but immediately kissed me again after that. We filled minutes with this, constantly breaking apart to catch some air and kissing again after that.

As we broke the kiss for real, I noticed that my cheeks should have been at least dark red. I smiled shyly as I looked at my hands and George giggled.

'For that matter, I think I like boys.'

I giggled. 'I would have been a bit sad if you didn't after that.'

'I was scared to love you, but I loved Dream and you're exactly how you were on Discord now.'

'Did you actually not tell anyone that I'm gay?'

'No, of course I didn't. Even if I would have known you were Dream, I would have never told anyone. Dream was my best friend.'

'Was?'

'You are Dream and I hope to be something like a friend to you.'

'How about boyfriend?' I giggled.

'I'm down,' George smiled. 'I would love to be your boyfriend, but you have to understand that I sometimes need some time alone for a bit. I forgave you for everything you've done, but-.'

'You don't have to explain anything to me. I understand and when you need a break, just tell me immediately.'
