One Call Away (DNF)

Chapter Four

!TRIGGER WARNING! Swearing, mention of abuse, mention of mental illness, mention of self harm

Dream's POV

"What the hell do you want now Nick?"

"Talk to him. You know how horrible he is feeling right now. you know him better than anyone and you know that. So why the fuck are you being such an ass to him right now?" Sapnap said with anger in his voice.

"You know I've been in love with him for two years. Yet he still can't even say he loves me as a friend so I know nothing will ever happen with us."

"You know he has a hard time expressing his feelings. You are the only one who knows the full story of his family. All he has told me is that they were abusive that's it."

"I get that he has so shit from the past but it's three words how hard can it be to say."

"Quit being an entitled asshole. It's hard for him and you know that so why can't you just accept it and make up with him."

"I am not being an entitled asshole I want him to say three words. Three fucking words Nick!"

"You are the only one causing problems. You are such an idiot don't you realize he likes you?"

"He does?" Dream says in a more delicate voice.

"Yeah you fucking idiot. But no now all of the sudden you are dating some bitch."

"She has a name you know and it's Rena. She's not some bitch she was able to express her feelings to me in two weeks let alone three years. George will never say he loves me even if he does. So I might as well move on with my life and quit wasting my time."

"Whatever Dream just talk to him please. He really shouldn't be left alone with his thoughts right now."

"Then you call him."

"You're supposed to love him right?"

"I do love him. But he will never love me so it doesn't fucking matter anymore." Dream said voice defeated near the end of his sentence. 

"Get it together Dream. Bye"

No ones POV

Just like that the call that was supposed to fix all of Dream's and George's problem failed miserably. Nothing changed only more feelings were hurt. George has been abandoned by his two bestfriends. Though one only doing it to force the other to reach out. He still felt lonely. As of Dream he was wallowing in his own guilt. He now knew George in fact did love him he just couldn't express it very well. Though Dream being Dream was to stubborn to cave first George was going to have to be the one to express his feelings or apologize, and Dream wasn't budging anytime soon on this decision. 

George's POV

All I could think about was the past and my parents. My father was always very physically abusive to the point where they took me out of school because the teachers were getting suspicious of all the bruises and cuts on my body regularly.  That only made life harder at least at school I was able to escape for a little bit. It became a constant reminder of how much my parents never wanted or loved me. My father always said love was just a way to control people and it was dumb and if I was to ever do anything right it would be to never love someone. I have told Dream all of this. He even knows all of the details of my depression, cutting, he knows more about me than my parents who constantly watched me do.  So why is he being like this. Did I really do the one thing I was never supposed to do. By loving Dream. Sapnap said he supposedly loves me back. I've never been loved by anyone but this feels about the same as how my mother treated me so Sapnap is probably lying just to calm me down. In all of this I never thought to think about how this is effecting Sapnap. His two bestfriends are not talking to each other while he is trying to mediate with some as stubborn as a bull. I should call him. 

Wait

Wouldn't he have called me after he finished his call with Dream? He is offline on discord so I know he's done. Why hasn't he called. Is Sapnap turning against me too. What did I do? Did Dream tell him about my family? What did he say to make Sapnap, my bestfriend, not talk to me? 

"FUUCCKK!"

I don't know what to do with all these emotions. Wait yes I do. 

No one's POV

"Where the fuck is it?" George says while searching his closet.

George continues to search for a moment soon finding a small grey book with the title "Foraging your own Mushrooms" . George always loved going to the forest near his house and searching for different mushrooms as a kid. Though his parents quickly stopped that habit around the time he was taken out of school. George flipped through the pages till he got to the last chapter about mushroom dangers were the center of the pages were cut out. Making it a secret hiding spot looking like a normal book from the outside. Inside there was a box cutter. And just like that the life drained from Georges eyes as he said.

"Found the solution to my problems."

The next moments seemed to pass by in slow motion as the blood dripped from George's arm. What was really only a minute felt like an eternity as the entire space around him simply froze or so it seemed like to George. But once the moment passed George cleaned the cutter dried it and put the book back into its little hiding spot in the closet. Then George proceeded to turn on the shower to full heat. Once it heated up he sat there and let the scorching water burn his skin and his fresh wounds. About an hour later of George being in the shower his skin was simply numb now matching the feelings George was feeling himself he half assidly bandaged his arm up and went to bed. (Quick A/N I know assidly isn't a word but I say it a lot irl so get used to it)

Dream's POV

I should really just call him. I already made up my mind he has to confess to me for me to be able to speak to him. I'm so fucking tired of wasting my time to get no where with George. Why the fuck is she calling now of all times. 

"Hey baby what's up?"

"Clay can we hangout today?"

"Why Rena?"

"Because I'm you're girlfriend and you never talk to me. All you do is talk to that George guy while playing the dumb block game all day." Rena said condescendingly.

"I already told you it's called Minecraft it what I do for a living so you better learn what it is."

"Whatever you need to hangout with your girlfriend."

"Fine whatever. I really don't care."

"No wonder you couldn't get a girl to date you before me."

Because I'm fucking gay this bitch is such an idiot.

"Bye Rena. Great chat."

Now I have to go on a date with my "girlfriend" who I can't even tolerate. Fuck me.

So what are you guys thinking about the story?

Also I was very tempted to make a joke about putting the book back in the closet but I thought it would ruin the atmosphere so it goes here instead.

"Well that's the only thing in the closet in this story." Haha Yeah I know I'm a comedian.

Also the picture is what I imagine the book looking like on the outside.

Ngl pretty proud of this chapter. Also how we liking Rena like I know I wrote her but I hate her guts. Anyways...

Also sorry if this is darker than normal though that might be a continuing thing I was really hurting before writing this.
