Please Don't Go (Dream x Reader)

Chapter 10

I'm listening to Tongue Tied rn it's not helping with the mood. So, sorry if it's bad >:[

~Clay's POV~

Who's this Alec kid?

I shake my head to get rid of the thoughts.

No way am I jealous...right?

That doesn't matter right now. Y/n is the only thing that matters.

The doctor, followed by a nurse, led us to her room.

The doctor entered the room, and I followed at his heels like a golden retriever.

;)

The room seemed sad and empty. It was bare, and lacking color. It wasn't long before my eyes settled on a certain individual.

There was the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. My stomach and hands became tingly. I clenched my hands to try and get rid of the tingly sensation, but it was hopeless.

She was motionless. Just laying down on the uncomfortable hospital bed. Lots of wires and machinery were connected to her, keeping her alive.

Her eyes stayed closed and her hands laid at her sides. Her skin was quite a few shades lighter than normal.

I was numb.

My movements showed no emotion. I silently walked up to her sleeping self and grabbed her hand, letting it rest in mine.

Her s/c hands were small and cold, and my hand fit around her hand perfectly. It was like we were meant for each other, a perfect match.

But, then I noticed something rather odd.

My brows furrowed as my eyes scanned up her arms. Her hands and arms were all cut up and bruised. My heart ached.

I stored that information for later.

I crawled up onto the bed with her, making sure I didn't touch any tubes or medical equipment. My chin rested in the top of her head as my hand played with her H/L hair. My other arm was splayed across her waist, pulling her close to me.

She smelled of mint and lemons.

I paid no attention to the others in the room as I let out silent sobs.

I was never scared of the future but now it terrifies me.

Now that I have her,

I'm not ready to let go.

(Holy frick, Older by Alec Benjamin just came on- i sad now)

~George POV~

The drive back home was silent. The depressing mood hung in the air of the car. Dream had rented a car from the airport, so we drove the car to my house. Dream didn't want to drive, so I ended up doing so.

I pulled into my driveway, and shifted into park. Dream was resting his head on his hand, while staring out of the window. His eyes were glossy and blank. His cheeks were stained with tears. I glanced over my shoulder to see how Nick was doing. His cheeks were also covered in dry tears. But he was asleep, all the crying made him tired.

I woke up Nick, and the three of us took in the luggage into my house. No words were spoken.

After we brought everything inside, we picked rooms. I had 3 spare bedrooms, but the third was my recording setup.

They seemed happy with their rooms. Which made me happy...as happy as I could be in the moment. They both went into their rooms to shower.

I went to my living room to sit on the couch. My stomach gave a noise of protest. It was almost 11pm, and none of us had eaten anything.

I ordered us pizza. The pizza came soon after Clay and Nick came out of their rooms. I was about to eat when a thought hit me.

Y/n's cat...

The poor thing is probably staving. I dropped my uneaten slice of pizza back on my plate and pushed against the counter, standing up. I took my keys off the rack and pulled the door open.

"Where are you going?"

Clays voice seemed strained and sore.

"I need to feed Y/n's cat."

"Can I come?"

He really needed to sleep. The marks under his eyes won't go away by staying up for weeks on end.
"Clay, you need to eat. You haven't eaten anything all day. It'll be quick, I'll be back before you'll know it."

"Neither have you. I'm coming."

I was a little frustrated, "Clay no, you need food and sleep."

"I can sleep later. I'm coming." He threw on a pullover hoodie and slipped on some shoes and began tying them.

"What does nighttime mean then?"
I tried to make him laugh, but I only got an eye roll in return, good enough.

The both of us informed Nick of our outing and left the house.

The car pulled to a stop as the light turned red and guilt hit me.

"I'm sorry Clay."

He scoffed, "why?"

I exhaled softly, "I could have taken her to the hospital earlier. And I should have told you the truth from the start."

He was silent. He could be mad at me for the rest of my life, and I would deserve it. I felt so bad. I could've done so much more, but I screwed up.

The light turned green and I lightly tapped the gas to move the vehicle forward. We sat in silence for the next few minutes.

"I forgive you, you were only trying to protect me. And you can't change fate, right?"

I exhaled. I could finally breathe again, but that didn't stop the guilt that flowed freely throughout my body.

I pulled into her street. I could see the map Clay was forming inside of his mind. Every turn we made, he wrote down inside his brain. I knew he wouldn't forget.

I made the last turn, her driveway.

Clay made the one last addition to his mental map, and pushed the car door open.

The final destination
