My imaginary friend//Dnf

Chapter 3

I always wondered what happened to Dream over the last few years. I heard a door slam downstairs. 'Must be dad' I said to myself. I set the photo album down and headed down to the kitchen to start supper before dad came back. I chucked the leftover pizza from last night in the microwave and set it for 3 minutes.

The pizza was nearly ready when suddenly, I heard a Thud coming from upstairs. Oh no, did someone break in? Holy shit I wasn't ready for this. I grabbed the nearest 'weapon' I could find. Which was a frying pan. And carefully crept upstairs to the entrance of my bedroom.

The door was already cracked open and inside there was someone laying on the floor. I think he was unconscious..? I dropped the frying pan and walked over to them, yes, they were breaking into my house. I think. But I was a decent human being so I decided to make sure they were ok.

I flipped him over and noticed that they were a guy. He was a dirty blonde, a few faint freckles sprinkled across his face. I sat on my bed and scrolled through Twitter until he woke up. At first, he looked confused. But then we made eye contact. His eyes were a beautiful shade of emerald green. That's when I noticed, He looks familiar, I thought. We stared at each other until it finally hit me.

"DREAM?!" I said with disbelief.
"GEORGE??" He said back with the same tone. He was back! I didn't know how to feel about this, I was mad, happy, and overwhelmed at the same time. Happy that he was here, but mad that he left for all these years.
"Dream!" I cried, once again. I wish I could hug him but I knew I would just fall right through him, he was imaginary after all. But when he got up he leaped over to me and instead of him falling through me, I was met with him embracing me in a warm hug.
"Wait, how did you do that?" I asked.
"It's a long story..." He said. Of course it was.
"I'm listening," I said eagerly. He took a deep breath and began explaining

"So you know how um.. I'm your 'imaginary friend', right? Basically there's only one rule to being one; 'Once they've made a real friend, you disappear'. So- On your first day of middle school...you made a friend. And so I had to leave."

"So you didn't leave just because of what happened with my mother?" I asked.
"What? No!" He exclaimed. "When I left I was supposed to go to a new kid and help them make friends. But I somehow
couldn't stop thinking about you" I could feel my face heating up "I lasted 10-ish years with you so I couldn't just go to another kid, and year after year I tried coming back but the system wouldn't let me, so I had one choice: To return here completely human. I can't go back now."
I was in pure shock. He came back for me? I couldn't help it, so I hugged him again.
