Kidnapped

Chapter 35: Landing Tomorrow

George POV

I walk over to our table at the back, seeing them all sitting and eating together.

"George! My mannn" Tommy smiles, giving me a hug which I slightly shiver from.

"Tommy! I heard you got adopted I'm so happy for you Kiddo" I smile, noticing how much better he seemed to be doing.

"Yeah life has been great, missed you a lot though, I met your friend Tubbo, we're having lunch together" I smile knowing that this was a start to a good friendship.

"Thank you for looking out for him, he was scared he wouldn't make any friends" Tommy nods and pats my back.

"He's cool, I think we will be good friends, speak soon yeah?" I move my shoulder out from his touch and smile.

"Yeah okay, you boys have fun" I say, watching Tommy run back over to Tubbo.

He seemed happy, I gave him a small wave which he returned.

I go over and sit at the lunch table, stopping their conversation as they all looked over to me.

"We heard about the paparazzi, man that shit is intense" Nick says in between chewing.

"Where are your manners Sapnap" I say rolling my eyes at his behaviour.

"Are you doing okay?" Clay asks and for once I actually ponder at my answer.

"I think I might go home but I don't feel comfortable leaving Tubbo on his own" I say, shifting in my seat slightly.

"We're all here if he needs anything, besides I can take him home for you" Clay says with a reassuring smile.

"Are you sure?" I ask, not wanting to put any pressure on him.

"Yeah of course, text your mum to come pick you up" He smiles, his hair falling in front of his face.

"Thank you Dream" I smile, taking out my phone to text my mum.

George: Can you pick me up?

Mum: Is everything okay? I'm now coming

George: Today has just been a little intense

Mum: I'll be outside the gate soon

"So what're everyone's plans?" Karl says, leaning onto the table with his elbows.

"Today has been mentally draining, I'm probably just going to take a nap" Alex states and I couldn't blame him.

"Yeah I'm pretty knackered" Zak agrees with a nod coming from Darryl too.

"What about you Karl?" Nick asks and I look over at him.

"Oh..yeah I'll probably sleep too" He faintly smiles.

"We can always just talk on the group chat or something if any of you get bored" Clay suggests and we all agree.

"Well my mum is probably outside now" I say, getting up from my seat.

"I'll walk you, see you guys in History?" Clay says, getting up from his chair and looking at the others.

"Yeah see you there bro" Nick smiles, starting another conversation.

"You didn't have to walk with me you know" I say, walking side by side with him through the school.

"I don't like leaving you on your own, besides I wanted to" He says with a faint smile.

"Oh and football practise should be back soon, I helped Phil find a replacement coach" I watch as his smile grows bigger.

"Really? That's great! Will you come to some of our practises?" He asks.

"Duh of course I will, are you team captain still?" I ask and he smirks.

"Well we had to go through another practise to see who is playing what and I'm still the team captain and striker, it's also our last year of football here" I look at him confused and then realise.

"Oh damn yeah this is the last year we will be here" I say as we approach my mum's car.

"Won't be the last year any of us see each other though" He smiles, opening the passenger door for me to get in.

"I'll bring Tubbo back for you later" Clay smiles as I sit down.

"Thank you sweetie! Have a good rest of your day" My mum smiles.

Clay gives me a smirk and closes the door, saluting and walking back off towards the school.

"Phil said he would sort out the whole paparazzi thing, he can only protect me from it on school grounds though" I explain to my mother who was now driving back to the house.

"Well that's good, I take it Tubbo has settled in well then?" She asks and I nod.

"I told him to make friends with Tommy, they're getting along really well" She smiles.

"While it's on my mind I wanted to ask you something" She says, glancing at me for a moment before turning back to look at the road.

"What?" I ask, now seeing our house in the distance.

"I know before you were gone you and Clay were having some...issues to do with his boyfriend, I was just wondering what you were trying to warn him of" she asks and I dodge the question.

"Did he speak to you about it?" I ask and she shakes her head.

"No but when they broke up he came to me, he was in hysterics about how he should've listened to you" she says as she pulled up to the house.

Maybe I should talk to Fundy at some point.

I get out of the car as she does the same "I'm pretty sure Fundy has been in Netherlands for the past month, he left after their breakup, I think he comes back in a few days though" We walk into the house and I look at her confused.

"How would you know?" I ask, taking my shoes off at the front door.

"Oh I had spoken to his mum and she said they were going home for a month" I nod and walk over to the sofa, sitting down when I get a notification.

Dad: I should be home tomorrow

I turn around to look at my mum in the kitchen.

"Dad said he's gonna be here tomorrow" I watch as her head snaps up to look at me.

"You spoke to your father? George he's not the same man that you knew" She says, coming over to me.

"We got a divorce not long after you went missing, he left and he's nothing like your father" She explains but it doesn't make any sense to me.

My father was always a good man, to both me and my mother, what changed?

"Well he's going to be here tomorrow" I say with a shrug, either way I still missed him.

"He's not staying, you guys can have the day but he can't stay" I nod even though I felt like he would stay either way.

I close my messages and start looking through social media, checking my friends posts.
