(I would advise you to go back and re-read chapter 19 if you've forgotten!!)
Karl stood speechless outside of George's dorm.
'No way in hell i just heard that...' he thought, slowly backing away from the door.
The whole reason Karl was outside of George's dorm was because he was planning on checking up on him. right before Karl knocked on the door, he heard quiet sobs and placed his ear on the side of the door. sure, you may call it 'snooping', but you would've done the same thing, too.
But right when karl placed his ear to the door, he heard George's little confession.
So now he was here, standing bewildered in the middle of the hallway.
"what the fuck do i do now?" he questioned under his breath.
-
Anger bubbled inside of Dream. 'If only I was a little more patient.... Oh my god I'm such an idiot I literally hate myself..... What is wrong with me?!? That's the first time since forever that my friend has opened up to me and I blew it!.... I'm about to-'
Dream's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at his door.
'Jesus Christ, what now.' He thought as he trudged over to the flimsy door.
'I swear to fucking god if it's that damn T.A.-'
He swung his door open to be met with Nick. Dream's muscles tensed as he looked behind him, to see Karl with a small smile on his face.
"Hey, Dream, how do you feel?" Nick spoke, like he had something on his mind.
Nick nudged the door open, allowing himself and Karl into the room.
"What the hell are you guys doing here? Go to sleep." Dream slightly grimaced at the roughness in his words.
"Says you." Nick quipped.
Dream glared at him, sitting on the edge of his bed.
The room stayed silent for a hot minute, Karl and Nick looking over at each other every once in a while.
"So..." Nick started, testing the waters. "How are you feeling?"
Dream held his head in his hands, raking through his blonde locks with his fingers. He inhaled a shaky breath. "Okay.... I guess."
Nick sighed. "Dream,"
"Okay, fine!" Dream interrupted. "If you're just
itching to know everything about my life, then I guess i'll just tell you."
Nick and Karl exchanged worried glances.
"I..." Dream started, putting his head into his hands. The anger in him bubbled down into guilt for yelling at his best friends for no damn reason.
Dream sighed. "George called me earlier and I hung up on him before he could say what he wanted to say."
Karl and Nick both whipped their heads around to face each other at the same moment.
"Don't look at each other like that, I know I'm an idiot." Dream sighed.
"No, no, no, no, that's now why we looked at each other! I swear!" Nick hurriedly replied, trying to get his friend out of his pending downward spiral.
"Alright, then why did you look at each other like that. I would absolutely love to know!" He countered, fake enthusiasm laced in his words.
Nick averted his attention to Karl, giving him a reassuring smile.
"Okay, Dream." Karl spoke, making eye contact with the blonde man. "I would love to tell you myself, but I think you should hear it from someone else."
Dream shot him and Nick a confused expression.
Before Dream could speak, Nick interfered. "What he means is," Nick starting, making eye contact with Dream. "that you need to go to George's dorm."
Dream sat on the bed shocked. Then began to let out a forced laugh. "What, do you think I'm actually a fucking idiot?"
Nick quickly started on damage control. "What? What, no. No one ever said that, Dream-"
"Get out." Dream said between clenched teeth. The forced laugh from earlier, now miles away at this point.
"Dream, no, listen he wants to see you-"
"That's fucking bull shit and you know it, Sap." The anger once in Dream was now flooding his system. "Now both of you, get out of my room and leave me alone."
Nick and Karl, in unison, got up and walked out of Dream's room. There was no use continuing to bug Dream if he was just going to get angrier.
Dream hastily got into bed, wrapping his duvet around him. He was excited to finally get back to bed.
-
2 and 1/2 hours later, Dream still hasn't fallen asleep.
