73. you're a dumbass

Clay POV

What did just happen? Did George...just break up with me? I felt my world breaking together in itself. I felt a huge pain in my chest and tears running down my cheeks.

Was that the end for us? Why? Why did he do that? Slowly I made my way back inside, slightly trembling. When I had closed the door behind me, I slid down the wall and sat on the floor with my head leaning against it. The painful feeling inside me spread.

"George...", I whispered to myself what just caused more tears escaping my eyes. George was everything for me, I couldn't imagine a life without him anymore. I slowly got up and made my way upstairs. I went to my room and opened the door weakly. Then I saw a hoodie on my bed. It was tiny. It was George's.

I walked over there and grabbed it. With more tears I pressed it on my chest before falling forward onto the bed. Then I rolled over on my back and looked at the hoodie. I held it to my nose and sniffed it. It smelled like George ...

What caused him to do that? He loved me, right? What or who forced him to that decision? Was it too stressful with me? Was I being annoying? What did I do wrong?.... My heart began to hurt even more.

Did it have something to do with Floris? No, bullshit, George would never give up on me just because Floris had a crush on me or because he beat him up. Someone else? I didn't get it, my head started to hurt and I snuggled my face into a pillow.

Nick POV

"Okay, wait wait wait, you what?!", I looked at George in shock who was sitting in my kitchen with tears in his eyes.
"I had to. I have no idea what else he might be up to. It was for his own protection. Floris is more dangerous than I initially held him", George said, sobbing.
"George, you-...what the heck?!", I yelled at him.
"I'm not selfish anymore. I let him go. Floris would have maybe de-", George said but got cut off by me.

"George, WHAT YOU JUST DID was more selfish than everything else! Think about how Clay must feel right now?! George, this guy is obsessed with you! This guy is incredibly in love with you! You think he will just accept that?!", I kept on yelling while stepping towards him. He just looked at me expressionless while clenching his teeth.
"George, he will fight for you!"
Now he swallowed and another tear escaped his eye.
"And I'm really disappointed in you that you're not", I looked at him angrily while I eventually felt myself just before crying.

"Nick, you don't understand, he-", I cut him off again.
"No George, YOU don't understand! You're such a dumbass! Why would you ever do that to him?! If you would have just told him, you would've find a solution! Breaking up might have been the biggest mistake in your whole life!", now finally a tear rolled down my cheek.

"We- We will....", George tried to say, but couldn't talk anymore. He buried his face in his hands and I could hear him crying and sobbing.
"Did you even think about it when you made the decision?", I calmed down a bit and sat down beside him.
"It felt like the right decision....", he quietly sobbed.
"Well George, let me tell you something....", I softly rubbed his back, "...it wasn't."

"Floris would make our lives to hell! No one of us would be happy when-", and I cut him off again.
"Do you love him?"
"What?", he suddenly stopped crying.
"Do you love him George?", I looked at him seriously.
Then he swallowed heavily and nodded.
"Yes. Yes. More than everything else."

"Then fight for him! No matter how weak you think you are, fight for him! Because I know that he will!", I grabbed his neck and pulled him close to me.
"We won't get anywhere when this fucking shit Floris is still existing!", George cursed to the floor with clenched teeth.
"Then we'll get rid of him! The guy has done enough horrific things already, based on what you told me", I shrugged my shoulders.

"No, no, I can't do that...", George put his head in his hands again.
"George, I know you! I know that you are not that stupid, but what you are doing right now....that is extremely stupid", I said angrily.
"It might be the best. Better don't underestimate Floris, Nick", George looked up to me, shaking his head slowly.

"Gosh", I pressed out, clenching my fists, "It can't be the best when both of you are hurt now!"
Now George said nothing more. He was just trying to stop and suppress his crying, what I could see wasn't working at all.

"Can I sleep here with you?", he eventually asked.
"What?", I gave him a confused glance.
"I have nowhere else to go. I can't sleep at Cl- Clay's house....", he swallowed.
I sighed.
"Okay....", I said, rolling my eyes, "But you can't hide from him forever, you know that, right?"
"Let's give the time some time, okay?", George finally smiled weakly.

I rubbed his back gently before giving him a soft kiss onto the forehead. Then he leaned on my shoulder and wrapped his arms around my back.
"Ouh George", I sighed, stroking through his hair.

Clay POV

What was I meant to do now? I couldn't just sit here and cry! I quickly rubbed away my tears and stood up. I sniffed George's hoodie again and then threw it back on the bed.

I had to find out why and had to find out how to get him back! I needed to fight for him!
I made my way downstairs where my phone was on the table. I wanted to call Nick and tell him everything, but when I went to my contacts, I saw Georges at the top. I saved him as 'Georgie' with a heart. The last message could still be seen under his name. It said 'I love you more <3'

I tapped his contact. The context of the last message was as follows:
G: Can you still bring these delicious chocolate croissants with you when you're already shopping?
C: Ofc, everything for you my dear <3
G: Okay, nice
C: I love you sweetheart *heart emoji*
G: I love you more <3

When I read that, my legs got weak and I fell to the floor. There they were again. The tears. I turned off my phone, put it aside, and turned around. I curled up in a ball and put my head on the floor with my forehead. Then I hit the floor with my fist and screamed in pain "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY"
