Dream POV:

After sapnap left my house I was worried for him. What if he got beat up again. I didn't want him to get so screwed up that he couldn't even do the competition. So me and George agreed to follow him back home. It was Friday so we didn't have football practice.

As we were following him, he wasn't going back to his house. Instead he ended up going to some cafe on the otherside of town. Once he got in we realized he worked here. But why? He really didn't need to.

We walked into the cafe and his smile dropped. He started looking panicked and we sat down in some booth.

He walked over to us.

"Hi, may I take your order?"

"Sapnap what are you doing here?" - dream

"I'm working, now what do you want." He had an irritated undertone.

"I'll have a black coffee and a muffin, why are you working?"

"Because I need the money, and for you George?" - sapnap muttered the answer to my question as if he didn't want us to hear

"What do you mean you need the money? I'll have the caramel Frappuccino thingy and carrot cake." - George

He started fuming.

"I don't need to explain myself to either of you! It's none of your business!"

"It is our fucking business because you're our friend!" - dream

"NO ITS NOT! I HAVE MY JOB FOR MY REASONS. YOU SHOULDNT HAVE COME HERE. IF I WANTED YOU TO KNOW I WOULDVE TOLD YOU. NOW LET ME GO GET YOU YOUR FOOD" - sapnap

I was insulted but I didn't show it. I sat back down and glared at him as he got us our stuff.

When he came back with our stuff he sat down and started talking.

"I shouldn't have lashed out at you and I'm sorry. My dad lost his job before the competition started and we've been struggling. That's why I need to win the competition, so that i have a place to go to college."

Me and George were shocked. I don't know what we were expecting but it wasn't that.

"Hey man, if you need you can borrow some money, or anything. I'd love to help." - George.

"Yea, you're our best friend I wouldn't mind helping you out."

"You can help me out by try-Harding this competition okay?"

They both nodded but they had to do something. It wasn't fair that sapnap had to deal with that.

George POV:

I went home and kept thinking about how I could help sapnap out of this one, but I really just didn't know what to do. That's when I got a message of discord from sapnap.

Sapnap: hey wanna hop on Minecraft

Georgenotfound: in 10 minutes?

Sapnap: 👍

That's when it hit me, what if sapnap made a YouTube channel, surely that would be a good source of income. But how would I convince him to do it?

Georgenotfound: hey dream I have an idea on how we can help sapnap

Dream: go on.

Georgenotfound: if we can convince him to make a YouTube channel like us maybe he would be able to make some money.

Dream: that's not a bad idea.

Me and dream had started YouTube channels ages ago. We didn't have too many subscribers and we didn't make the most amount of money on it but that's because we didn't really post regularly and we never worked too hard on the videos.
