The weekend passed, I mainly spent it alone because Mum and Ana go to different competitions every weekend. I laid alone most of it, Karl and Sapnap have been talking to Dream nonstop on the group chats. I understand that they're trying to be nice but he isn't going to stay. I don't want him to stay.
I sit on my phone, the starvation hit last night, I felt dizzy and nauseous but I've had a coffee and I'll be fine. I got a call from Karl, 7.30. I declined and got up to meet them outside already knowing what he would've said. I sat in the passenger side as normal,
"Morning Georgie," Sapnap teased. He is the only person who calls me Georgie. He doesn't like when someone else calls me it, neither do I. Karl starts to talk about Dream, and then Sapnap steps in suddenly,
"We're picking him up on the way to school,"
I sighed, Karl looked worried.
"You don't like him?" he asked quietly,
"No I just didn't think he was going to stay.. properly... you know?"
"I know you don't like new people but we like him okay? And we're going to be nice about this. Please George..."I nod and look out the window before we pull up a huge flat-house. Karl gets his phone out and messages Dream.
"Why do I get calls but he gets messages?" I jokingly complain.
"Maybe if you went on your phone once in a
while," I laugh. I do school then sleep when i'm home. I don't see reason to do anything else. School is draining. I look out the window to see Dream approaching the back seat door.
"Hey,"
"Hi Dream!"
"Morning,"
"George?" Dream says trying to get my attention,
"Yeah sorry Morning," Sapnap starts to drive in the direction of school Karl and Dream talked all car-ride but I zone out for mode of it.
Classes are boring, my head sits on my desk for most of it, usually I prioritise school but today i'm too tired- honestly i'm ahead in most of my classes anyways. I sat alone as the teacher went on and on about the due date of some assignment.
"George did you eat today?" Dream asked, why does he care? I nod, Karl leaves Sapnap's grip and kneels in front of me, taking my chin so my eyes would meet his. I find myself laughing, "you look tired.." I smile and shrug,
"didn't sleep that well, I guess," I said picking up my phone to messages on the group chat.
ana
you missed a payment for a costume. school needs it before the end of the day - my last class is at 9.20 so somebody has to come at some stage.
mum

dad
I'm busy. George can pick you up with my car. I'll leave the keys in my kitchen.
ana
nick isn't going to take george to your house dad.
ME
its fine.
I ignored further messages and looked up to Sapnap, he was talking to Dream,
"how do you like him?" I interrupt,
"Nick can I have a ride to my dads house?" he sighs and nods, Karl looked at me.
"What's going on?"
"Ana needs something at her stupid dance school and my parents are busy" I use air quotes when I say busy and Karl hums quietly.
"Hey, did you pay?" I nod and she pulls a jacket on and takes one off her dance shoes and puts them in her locker. She turns to face me and I stand from the bench,
"how was dance?" she never had good stories or comments about her lessons. But she always came back. She shrugged and took her tote back and shut her locker.
"Got yelled at a few times but not too bad," I nod and we leave the building.
"Hey An, what do you feel like for dinner? Get some junk tonight yeah?" she smiled and nodded. I played some quiet music on the way to the drive thru,
"I ate with the boys so get whatever you want," lie. She hummed.
"Hey George?" I nod as I turn out of the drive thru as she ate her chips,
"I'm sorry, the attention is always on me and dance..." I shrug and smile at her.
"Not your fault. Plus I don't like the attention on me," she hums as I turn up the music.
"Mia told me your hanging out with Clay Dream," I nod and raise an eyebrow at her.
"How do you still have friends at my school when you don't even go anymore?" she shrugs,
"So what's he like?"
"I don't know... Karl and Nick like him a lot I just haven't gotten close with him yet like they have.." she nods.
"How are Nick and Karl?" I groan playfully.
"Sickly in love." She giggles and we talk for a while on the way home before we end up blasting Billy Joel.
"What's with you and old music?" she asked and I smiled as we pulled into the driveway of the house.
"It's better than all the shit that comes out these days,"
"these days? How bloody old are you?"
"Oh it's better than your contemporary shit—Damon Jurado!"
"Damien Jurado is a god"
"Then Billy Joel rules the world,"
When I went to my room, I laid down and grabbed my phone to answer messages it was 10PM.

it was all just a scream for help.
FanfictionWhy wasn't anyone noticing? Was it not obvious he was sad? How come nobody had realised when George only wore long sleeves? What would it take for them to see he needed help? He wanted help. He needed help. How could he get it without asking - beca...
