George's POV

I was lying in bed completely bored out of my brain because I couldn't sleep. It was tomorrow that I was moving to Florida and I must admit my nerves were getting the better of me. Being completely bored I decided to snap Dream because he could be entertaining if you pushed his buttons a certain way. I thought I could maybe convince him to send me a picture of his hand or neck or chin but what I was not expecting was what was sitting open on my phone. When I originally opened the photo of Dream I dropped my phone letting off a faint gasp. He was hot. Like really hot. I couldn't quite believe that that man who was smiling at me from my phone with his gorgeous hair and perfect grin was the guy who I had been talking to everyday since I was like 14. Wtf. 

I sat there staring at my phone for another 2 minutes completely awestruck by the guy staring back at me. It completely scared me when my phone started ringing but was happy that I was saved from staring at the beauty at front of me for the rest of my life. Without even checking the name I answered and put the phone on speaker and looked back at the photo still slightly mesmerised. 

"Georgieeeee." Dream said with a deeper voice than I seem to remember him having which caused me to jump thinking that the photo was talking to me. This seemed too surreal. Gulping down this weird feeling I had I quickly spoke back.

"Oh h-hey." I started berating myself for completely sounding stupid. 

"Did I break your brain with that photo Georgie?" Dream chuckled being too happy about this. I tried to regain my composure forcing myself to not feel this strange dizzy and slightly sickening feeling anymore. Dream is your best friend - nothing more or nothing less. 

"Nope. Just surprised that you sent me a picture of your face. So quickly." I said slowly trying not to feel sick or like I will pass out as I thought about the picture that my best friend had sent me. I heard dream chuckle on the other side and my heart started pounding harder than I had really ever felt it before. 

"Well it is about time you see my gorgeous face." Dream said with a light chuckled, I could practically hear the smile radiating off Dream's face and through the phone. I didn't say anything, couldn't say anything so I just stood there like an idiot as he felt warmed by his beautiful smile. 

"I must be really hot if you are this speechless George." Dream said with the same lighthearted tone. Before I couldn't even stop myself I whispered into the phone yeah. Slapping my hand over my mouth I was in complete shock. How stupid could I be to say something like that?!?! Dream was quiet for a few seconds probably thinking that I was stupid. 

"So you think I'm hot, if you keep this up I might just have to kiss you when you arrive here in two days." Dream said softly, his voice lower than usual with a confident edge to it, I could feel like there was some sort of truth to it which made my stomach flip and my heart buzz. Swallowing the fear that I had I tried to think of a lighter response.

"Well we will just have to see, wont we Clay?" I asked still feeling queasy but gaining confidence as I talked to Dream who just always seemed to have that effect of people but most especially me.

"Clay? Ew no I want you to call me Dream. Only my Mum, Dad and Sister can call me Clay. It just sounds wrong when your say it." Dream said with a smile and a mocking voice which made me relax. I have to admire just how he can turn a conversation away from a topic without seeming weird. 

"Okay Dream." I said quietly into the phone. I don't know why all of a sudden I started getting sentimental - I mean I was leaving for an entirely different country that I couldn't remember the last time I was there. I just could feel tears start to form in my eyes as I tried to hold myself together. I was just so overwhelmed. Am I sure I could go through with this? As if on cue and almost like he could tell how my mood had just dropped Dream spoke softly into the phone.

"George you know I am always here for you. I love you so much and no matter what happens I will stand by your side. Moving to Florida is going to be hard for you so I will stay with you to help you through the bad and cherish the good. It is going to be okay. I love you!" 

At these words I burst into tears, scared and completely overwhelmed at everything that had happened in the last three weeks. Dream was silent for a while as I sobbed into the phone lying alone in my bed. In an empty room and an empty house. Suddenly I could hear a soft guitar strum play through the phone. Quietly I started to hear humming along to a song that I couldn't quite recognise without the lyrics. Starting off unsure Dream started to sing. 

If you ever leave me, baby
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have
We don't have it anymore

My breath was shaking as I listened to Dream's voice. Sure I had heard him sing before but for some reason this just seemed to be different. To be more important and somehow more beautiful. 

There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor (oh)
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin'
To keep you by my side
To keep you from walkin' out the door

I had stopped crying just to marvel at the beauty of this moment and just how much I wanted to savour it. It was pure and gorgeous just like him. There was slight silence before the chorus where Dream started to sing quieter, more gently. 

'Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain

Dream didn't continue you the song or continue playing the guitar after that. Rather hummed almost sadly through the phone as I started to fall asleep. I kept on thinking about the last time that I fell asleep while talking to Dream and how he whispered to me. Only now did I realise what he had said to me. 

"I love you too Dream."
