Clay's POV

1 year later...

I was sitting in class as a teacher walked in. I looked at George with an excited smile and the teacher looked around him.

'I have roses and chocolate for Clay, Sapnap, Quackity and George,' he said with a smile.

He handed me chocolate with a rose and I smiled as I looked at the message.

"Just a few days before our one year together again and I still love you just as much <3 your best friend."

I leaned closer to him and hugged him shortly. 'I love you,' I smiled.

He smiled back at me and giggled shyly. 'Let's hug somewhere else before all the idiots attack us again.'

I rolled my eyes. 'Fine,' I sighed as I sat back on my chair.

The school day passed by slowly and after that I could finally go home with George. Before we went to the bike storage, Karl, our new friend, and Sapnap came up to us and smiled.

'Aren't you almost one year back to friends?' Sapnap asked us.

I nodded. 'Just a few days.'

Sapnap smiled. 'Have fun, I'm going to the city with my dad.'

'Have fun,' George and I answered, seeing Quackity run up to us.

'Dude! I got accepted for music study too! We can all start in two months after our finals,' he yelled out happily.

I smiled. 'Congrats!'

George, Quackity and I were really busy with music. We recorded my song and a lot of people appeared to like it so far. Next to that, George's YouTube channel grew and people were finally nice to him now.

I often sang with him with Quackity playing the guitar or the piano and people seemed to really like it which caused us to go further with music. We all chose a music study which was going to actually focus on only that. It was hard to get into but they immediately accepted George and me after we sent them videos of our singing so we could get in.

Quackity got accepted later because they had a lot of guitarists, but eventually noticed he was really good so they accepted him too today.

We said goodbye to Quackity and grabbed our bikes to go to my place. I moved back in with my dad after he had been admitted to a mental health clinic and started using medication.

He worked very hard on himself, got therapy for his trauma and then help for bipolar disorder. After he got medication, he got way calmer and could control his disorder. He came back home and I moved back when I was sure he wouldn't hurt me anymore.

He apologised so much and tried to do everything for me so he could make up for the pain he caused me, but I was able to forgive him a few months after what happened. I was just happy he sought help.

At school it was still not amazing, but it was better than it used to be. After Sapnap fell out with his "friends", they got calmer. George, Sapnap, Quackity and I regularly got mad looks, but they didn't dare to say anything anymore since they knew how we replied to it the last few times.

Sapnap had been doing well. He was going to redo his school year because he went into rehab for half a year. After relapsing once, he managed to quit for good, being clean for nine months now. He was proud of himself and finally forgave his dad for lying to him and his ex wife.

His parents were on good terms and Sapnap's dad cared a lot for Sapnap to make it up to him and spoil Sapnap after neglecting him for a while due to depression. His mother loved them both and had a new boyfriend which caused Sapnap to be a bit happier too.

I looked up at George as we arrived at my place and we walked in. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the stairs as my dad noticed us.

'Hi, boys! Do you want a drink?' he asked. 'I also bought cake!'

I felt bad if I said no so I nodded. 'Yes, please,' I answered, sitting down on the couch as George and I cuddled up.

We drank something and then ate the cake, going upstairs together after that. We walked up the stairs and I let him go into my room. He sat down on my bed and pulled me closer as I held my hand on his cheek to make him feel secure.

He was smiling and grabbed my hand as I lifted myself up again. 'I love you, George,' I smiled. 'I really love your personality, the way you sing and look. I want to do the same as I used to do, where I pointed out what I think makes you unique and beautiful. We've gone through a lot and I still love you so much.'

George smiled shyly. 'If you want to.'

'Alright, I love your eyes because they are really dark. I don't know, they always look happy with a spark which makes me happy. I also think your hair is beautiful, you got a nice haircut a while back. I think you're beautiful, I know you struggle sometimes and think you're too fat, but you aren't fat at all. Even if you were, you would have been just as beautiful.'

'Aww,' he giggled, cuddling up with me.

'We've had many obstacles on our path, but we managed to overcome them all together. I'm stronger now I'm with you, I'm not scared to show who I really am. I finally dropped the mask I used to wear and sang about and I'm glad I've quit all those stupid dares and got away from those "friends". I don't know why I ever started with those, but I'm so happy I stopped.'

'I'm glad too and I'm also so happy we become friends again. I missed you for ages,' George smiled.

I smiled back and wrapped his arms around my shoulders to let him rest his hand on my chest. He closed his eyes as we cuddled and I sighed softly. I could finally be myself again.
