Dreams POV:

After double checking that I had everything, I put my bags and suitcase into the car and started driving to George's house.

Everyone planned to meet at the schools car park at 10am so we could all follow each others cars to the destination. In my car was George, Sapnap, Karl and Quackity while others were split up between Techno and Wilburs cars.

I went to pick up each of the boys getting a ride with me and we grouped up as planned. Wilbur was leading our cars since he knew the way.

Off we went, a 4 hour car ride awaiting us.

The car ride was exactly what I expected. George sitting pretty up front, Sapnap shouting in the back, Karl constantly giggling and Quackity doing a mixture of the 2 in the back.

I was just trying to drive while peaking at George every once in a while. The sun was shining through the window on his side so it highlighted his cheek bones and the tip of his nose. It made his dark hair seem lighter, accentuating the highlights and blonde pieces within the curls.

He looked so pretty.

We finally made it to the camping ground. As we drove in, we were surrounded by forests and a river following the car on the right. The place was beautiful, I couldn't wait to spend the week here with everyone. I hope Techno doesn't interfere with George and I, I couldn't help but take my mind back there.

'Dream.. they took a left there.' George said, pointing to the other two cars. I made a noise of frustration and pulled in left to join them. We all swayed a little through the gravel track as I took the sharp turning.

The three of us parked our cars next to our pitch. Everyone got out the cars with groan since we had been cooped up for hours. My legs were aching from driving and George looked completely shattered.

The pitch we had was amazing though. Around us were trees followed by a small clearing just for us. There were beautiful lantern posts neatly placed around, soon to be lighting up the paths and everyone's pitches.

We had a perfect view of the river which led into a lake and waterfall. The sounds were calming and therapeutic. All we could hear was the running of water and how it crashed at the bottom of the lake and birds tweeting in the trees. A slight breeze brought a rustle through the trees and movement from our feet made the gravel crunch beneath us.

We all started to put our tents up in our clearing. It was big so we set them out in a circle formation, with all of us facing inwards and keeping a gap in the middle so we could all sit together.

Wilbur had brought a small fire pit that we could use later on. He was very prepared since he goes camping a lot. Every holiday we have off of school, Wilbur is away in the wilderness. As well as the fire, he brought paddle boards and oars which his dad let him borrow since he works at a water sports place. We were all so excited to use them.

I started to get out the tent I had brought for George and I. We were sharing a tent while Sapnap and Karl were also sharing a two man tent. The others were split up into groups since they had bigger tents.

My tent was pretty easy to set up since it was made for stupid people like me. As always, George sat back while I did all the work. He looked so cute in his oversized hoodie and shorts on so I didn't want to bother him anyway.

I finished up the tent and went over to him, placing a kiss on his forehead. I pulled him up off the floor and into my arms, pulling him in for a hug. As I hugged him I saw Techno staring at us with a look of jealously. Did he forget that he was the one who hurt me?

I stared at him back with a smug smirk. I actually enjoyed seeing him like this, I want him to hurt like I did. Call me cold but he deserves it.

I pulled away from the hug and we both entered our tent, deciding to set up our air mattress and duvet together.

Wilbur entered the tent, 'Nice one guys, I have an electric pump for you. Here.' He said while giving us the pump.

'Thanks Will. I don't know what we'd do without you.' I said with a laugh.

'Probably pass out from blowing the mattress up with your mouth?' He said sarcastically while laughing back, 'Oh and Dream, can you give the pump to Techno after? His tent is that one.' He said while pointing to a small red tent.

This better not be some elaborate plan to get me and Techno alone together.

I pumped up the air mattress and left George to put the bedding on while I gave the pump to Techno.

I walked over the clearing and into his tent which was mostly zipped up, just a small gap which I barely fit into.

'Here's the-'

There he was, standing shirtless in the middle of his tent. Staring at me innocently.

'Thank you Dream! Mind helping me with it?' He said while coming closer to me to take the pump.

He took the pump and zipped the tent fully down, closing the gap that previously made me feel safe.

'Techno.' I said but before I could continue he put his finger up to my lips, stopping me from talking.

He gently brushed my jaw with his thumb and tilted my head up to look at him.

I was left to stare into the eyes which made me feel safe so many times. The eyes which helped me at my lowest nights. The eyes which held me together when I was falling apart.

Stop.

The same eyes told me I was worthless. The same eyes left me wondering why I was such an idiot. They made me feel so lonely, the loneliest I've ever felt. Those eyes are nothing but a problem, they left me crying overnight. (Hehe)

'Fuck you.' I said and quickly unzipped the tent. Before he could say anything I was already far enough away from the tent.

I didn't want to go back to George, he would know somethings up and demand that I told him. I didn't want to go to anyone else either, I wanted to be alone.

Seeing Techno always leaves me feeling like this. I miss him while I despise him and I want so badly to hate him but my heart still cares for him.

Now I have the added guilt of missing what we had while having everything I've ever wanted with George. He is so much more than Techno ever was but I can't help but still hold love for him, despite everything.

I started to walk, not entirely sure where I was going since we were yet to explore anywhere. But I walked, for about twenty minutes until I found a tree that had fallen over which seemed like the perfect spot to sit and watch the river.

The sun was still out, a little lower now but still warm nonetheless. It created sparkles in the water that I could watch for hours, my eyes settled on them while my mind focused on one million things at once.

Why now? Why me? He has other ex's, he's had plenty of them. I just want to be angry at him; I want to hate him but I can't. I want to hate him for George's sake, I want to hate him for past me.

'FUCK!' I screamed.

I felt like a total idiot just screaming in the middle of no where but I need to get this anger out before I go back to join the others.
