TW: Mentions of abuse (Detailed), slight swearing.

Dream and George arrived at school and ran to their friends. Karl and Sapnap were standing near the lockers hugging and looking at each other. George stopped but Dream was still walking. George grabbed Dream's hand and stopped him.

"Dream! Don't ruin their moment." He whisper-yelled.

"But they're just hugging?" Dream whispered back.

"Keep watching. (Ok I don't mean that in a creepy way.)" George said. As if on cue Karl kissed Sapnap. George smiled at them while Dream looked back at George.

"How did you know they were about to kiss?" Dream asked. George rolled his eyes with a smile and faced Dream.

"Because I'm not an idiot." George giggled. Karl and Sapnap broke apart and saw Dream and George holding hands.

"Come over here nimrods." Karl shouted. George walked up to Karl pulling Dream with him slightly; not enough to hurt his injuries. He let go of Dream's hand and hugged Karl.

They talked about random things and laughed until the bell rang and they swam through the crowd of students in the busy hallway to get to their classes.

Dream and George sat next to each other and tried their best to focus on what the teacher was teaching. As you could've guessed, they failed miserably. They kept glancing at each other. They turned and blushed as soon as their eyes met. They were both falling for each other and they were falling bad.

The first and second classes went like this. Now Dream sat in his third class behind Sapnap and Karl.

No one really knew him besides his three friends Sapnap, George and Karl so he had to sit alone and third wheel.

Dream tried his best to concentrate but couldn't. His brain was stuck on one thing: George. He just sat there doodling George and him together. Sapnap glanced at Dream for a second. He knew something was wrong and that Dream wasn't focusing.

"Dude you okay?" He asked. Dream looked up and closed his notebook.

"Uh... yeah? Why?"

"You seem off and you can't concentrate. Something is clearly up. Tell me."

"I figured it out Sapnap." Dream smiled. "I like George." Karl snapped his head back so quick his neck could've broken.

"You like George???" He whisper-yelled in surprise.

"Yeah..." Dream said sheepishly.

"That's great dude! You both won't be third-wheeling and we can go on double dates!" Karl said enthusiastically.

"Karl I said I liked George. I never said he likes me back." Dream sighed. Karl's enthusiastic expression mellowed.

"You never asked him though did you?" Karl said.

"I mean I didn't because it's way too soon. I met him like what? 3 days ago?" Dream said.

"You're right. I already told you to not rush anything." Sapnap said.

"Karl, Sapnap and Clay please pay attention." Their teacher said. Dream cringed at the use of his birthname.

"Sorry sir." They said in unison. Soon the class ended. Dream had his fourth class with Sapnap. They both sat next to each other. The teacher hadn't arrived yet. Most students were shouting that the teacher isn't going to come today.

"Wanna talk about yesterday?" Sapnap said.

"Yeah. Let's talk about the happy stuff before I talk about the assholes that keep me. I had lasagna with George and his mother yesterday. George shared some of his secrets with me. He even came out to me." (Heatwaves is playing right now 🎶🎵)

"Wait you didn't knew he was gay? What's wrong with your gaydar dude? Also he's openly gay at school."

"No I didn't know but he told me. Now I have a little hope of us being a thing." Dream smiled. Sapnap patted his back.

"Keep the hopes up Dream. I'm sure he will like you back. All you need is time."

"I know." Dream sighed. "Now about..."

"Yeah. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Last night was the worst. So after dinner at George's house and I was walking to your place to pick up Chloe and Chris. A car stopped in front of me. I didn't recognise it at first but when those two demons jumped out of it, I knew it was my car. Or should I say it's their car. My dad was mad at me. He's never been so mad. He... kicked me on my knee and I fell to the ground. I tried to stand up and fight back but he kicked me again and stomped on my knee. I rolled over in pain so I was laying on my stomach on the road while my back was facing them. They both kicked my back several times. Then my dad punched me..." Dream stopped and touched the side of his head and winced. He removed his hand and continued.

"My head is swollen and it hurts. It's probably bruised. He asked me where my siblings were. I didn't answer. I couldn't answer. I was slipping out of consciousness. He punched me once again and they both drove off. I knew I had to move. I decided on going back to George's place since I wasn't that far away. I somehow limped my way there. I noticed my arm was bleeding too. I tried my best to ignore the pain and just move. George helped me after that and so did his mother. I'm way better now. I can walk now. I actually thought my leg was broken." Dream said as he fought back tears. He blinked them away. He was strong. Sapnap hugged him. He hugged them back.

"You're really strong Dream."

"Thank you Sapnap."

The day went on. The other students were right, the teacher never showed up in their fourth class. Soon the school day was over.

Dream knew he had to go home. He hoped his parents' anger had calmed down. He thought it was fine as his parents came back from work in the evening. He could just lock himself in his room. They won't be waiting for him.

...Right?
