Dream's POV

This day passed slower than ever. I felt anxious all day without knowing if this was just a prank or actually a crazy person who knew everything about me. I didn't know if I had to take it seriously and it drove me insane already.

When it was the afternoon, I suddenly got a phone call again. I grabbed my phone and clicked on the accept button, not talking as a loud breathing got hearable on the other side of the call.

'Is it cold inside of your room?' the voice laughed.

I immediately ended the call again and ran to my room, looking all around the street if I could see someone who was close to the house. I didn't see anyone near and then heard my phone buzz. I grabbed it and saw a message including a picture.

I opened it after taking a deep breath and stared at the screen, feeling my heart pound against my chest. It made me feel breathless and I even began to sweat as I waited for my phone to load. The message opened and I clicked the picture, seeing myself standing in front of the window with the same clothes as I was wearing now.

I stormed back to the window and looked to the place the photo got taken from, but I didn't see anyone or anything. My heart didn't seem to stop beating as fast anymore and I hitched a breath, closing the curtains.

I let myself fall down onto my bed and pulled my knees up as I tried to calm down again. Someone just took that picture of me, this wasn't funny anymore. There was someone here at my house and I had no idea who this was and why they were doing this.

I got so paranoid that I jumped up and ran downstairs to see if Sapnap was there. I looked around me and sped to the kitchen as I saw Sapnap walking inside with a smile.

'Hi! What's up?' He seemed to get startled and hid something behind his back.

'What are you doing here?' I yelled as I walked closer to him. 'What were you doing outside? What are you hiding?'

'Dude, calm down! I just went to the store for something. Chill out, please.'

'What did you buy?' I screamed. 'Show it to me!'

'It's a secret,' Sapnap mumbled as he tried to get away from me. 'Can you leave for a second? I want to put this away.'

'What are you hiding from me? Don't lie, Sapnap. I don't appreciate that in the slightest!'

'But it's a secret! Just leave, idiot,' he scoffed as he tried to get me away.

'NO! SHOW ME!' I grabbed his shoulders to turn him around and Sapnap sighed with a sad look on his face.

'I bought cake,' Sapnap answered disappointedly, holding up the cake.

'Why? Who randomly buys a cake?'

'For your birthday, dumbass!' he shouted. 'Well, the present is ruined.'

He angrily walked to the fridge and put the box with the cake inside of there, turning away from me to walk off.

'I'm sorry,' I mumbled. 'I didn't know.'

'Yeah, and you didn't have to know either,' Sapnap replied with a really angry voice. 'Whatever.'

He walked away and I felt guilt fill my body. I thought he was the one who took the picture of me, I didn't know he had a surprise for me. I decided to apologise again and ran to his room, knocking on the door.

'What do you want, Dream?' he sighed as I opened the door.

'I want to apologise, I'm sorry for acting like that. I just had a stupid nightmare and it made me paranoid.'

He was quiet for a little and then stood up. 'Alright, it's okay.' He smiled as he gave me a short but tight hug and I held him tightly since I really needed this hug right now.

Sapnap let go of me and looked at me shortly. 'Are you okay? You seem stressed.'

'It's nothing,' I sighed. 'I'm going to talk to George for a bit.'

Sapnap rolled his eyes. 'Obviously.'

'I just really wish to meet up with him after all these years, but I hate that it's just not working out,' I mumbled.

'Hey, it's alright. He will be here soon, okay? Just call him for a bit.'

I nodded and turned around to run up the stairs. I sat behind my PC and called George on Discord. I tapped my hand on the desk as he accepted the call.

'Hi,' I greeted him.

'Hi,' he answered. 'What's up? Why did you call me?'

'I just wanted to talk to you.'

'Did you miss me already?' he chuckled. 'You just wanted to talk to me this morning too.'

'Just a rough day and then I get upset with everything,' I admitted. 'So also that you can't be here.'

'Yeah, I'm still waiting for the VISA,' George sighed. 'I'll be there one day.'

'Yeah...' I started playing with the same nail clippers as I had this morning and George seemed to be scrolling through his phone as I loaded up Minecraft.

I went onto a random server and George joined too eventually. We just started fooling around a little which made me smile and I temporarily forgot about all the misery going on right now.

Sapnap joined too a while later and eventually Quackity and Karl too. We just laughed a bit together and I stretched as I yawned. It caused me to focus on my curtains again and I stood up slowly to check if anyone was here. I didn't see anyone and sat back down as I remembered I had to get some food for tonight.

I really didn't want to go outside and grabbed my phone to text Sapnap.

You
I'm actually exhausted today, could you maybe do the groceries for tonight?

Sapnap turned quiet in the VC and read my message.

Sapnap
I'll go later or otherwise we will order something. Don't worry, you don't need to do anything.

I smiled and put my phone down, turning it off as a reflex. I just didn't want to get any calls or texts right now. I was stressed enough.
