TW: swearing, some nsfw, angst, torture

2 months later.

-
Im still living with Dream. It's been amazing. His mother knows everything now we told her all of it. The abusiveness of my father, and my mother. She was very kind about it of course.

Delly and Drista are also doing great going back to school, me and Dream as well. It felt like nothing could get worse than this, like nothing could hurt us anymore. Or so I thought.

The break downs with Dream have been getting worse and worse. Sometimes I even wake up and cry.

-
It was about 3:47 am when I looked at the clock. My small sniffles were everywhere. I could feel a large body next to me soundly sleeping. He looks so beautiful. I always thought to myself.

I got out of bed almost falling but not quiet. The dirty blonde was still sleeping I could tell from his soft snores. Beautiful even. I quietly walked downstairs only to find a light on and a woman near it.

|I think I said I was gonna call dreams mom something but I don't remember so let's just say her name is Lin|

"Lin?" I walked closer to the light wiping my sniffles away.

"Oh George, I don't know you were up this late." She seemed frantic.

"Yeah I-are you alright?" I was now fully facing her. She had bags under her eyes but her head was down and papers near her.

"Yeah I'm fine hun." I took a glance at the papers. Dreams mom noticed. Her hand ran over the papers gathering them up. I stopped her from taking them.

"Please tell me what's wrong, you've done so much for me." I smiled while holding onto her hand.

I started to hear sniffles come from the tired young woman.

"Well George," she spoke her mind this night. "I'm having the worst time paying the bills. We could be living on the street, I can't make enough money hun." She slid her hand out from under mine and put it in her hair. She was stressed I could tell.

"I could help?" She looked up at me.

"Oh-George you don't have to do that."

"But I want to, let me help you please, I'll start making money and- when's the next payment?"

"A month from now."

I smiled at her.

"Don't worry."

She sat up and gave me a big hug. "Oh thank you so much George, you have made me and my son so happy." Dream. We hugged for awhile longer until she finally let go and told me she was going to bed. I started to get tired as it was somewhere near 4:00 am.

My body rested on the couch, because I was too lazy to go back to dreams room. It wasn't as comfortable without him but I still felt safe. so I thought.

-

I awoke to a large hand gripping my arm.

"Baby wake up." His voice. He shook me gently.

I soon opened my eyes and sat up rubbing them. The dirty blonde sat next to me on the couch staring at me.

"What..?" I said.

"Your beautiful." He gave me butterflies once again, "why were you sleeping down here last night?.."

"I came downstairs and I guess I never went back up."
