Dream's POV

After my shower, I went to my room again and sat on my bed. I didn't know what to do anymore. I stared in front of me and bit my lip since I was on the verge of crying. I didn't want to give in to the stupid behaviour of this person and turned my phone back on. It was my phone, I shouldn't act like they were controlling my life.

I turned it on and ignored the immediate spam of messages that made my phone lag out. I didn't want to cry again, but I couldn't help it and tears filled my eyes again. I got a call from another number again and clicked accept for the last time.

'Hello, Dream,' the voice on the other side whispered in a scary tone. I didn't answer and breathed in through my nose as I tried to listen to the voice to figure out who this was. I didn't recognise the voice since there was a voice filter on the voice.

'Dream, you've been ignoring me for quite some time and you know... last time I followed you, but next time I won't just follow you, okay? I was just playing around, but now I'm sick of it. You've ignored me too much and next time, don't think you'll be arriving back at home.'

'W-what? Are you threatening me?' I whispered. It felt like someone was squeezing my throat and without me realising it, tears rolled from my eyes down to my cheeks. They dropped down on my shirt which left darker spots.

'I'm having fun,' the voice answered. 'But my fun is over now, we are getting serious, okay? If this scared you already, then this is only the start. You're going to die, Dream.'

⚠️ Panic attack

He hung up and I stared at my phone. My hands were so shaky that my phone fell onto the floor. I was only staring and then started crying uncontrollably, hitching a breath as tears ran down my cheeks faster than I could even wipe them away.

I panicked so much that I reached out for my phone again to call Bad. I needed to talk to someone and went to Discord, calling him while I tried not to hyperventilate again. Bad accepted the call within a minute and listened for a second.

'I think you're panicking again,' Bad spoke up. 'Do you want to talk?'

'Y-yes,' I whispered, wheezing because of the lack of air. I sniffed and grabbed a napkin to blow my nose and wipe my tears with.

⚠️ Most over

'Okay, that's alright. Firstly, try to breathe a little bit slower than you do now.'

I nodded even though he couldn't see that and Bad started breathing louder so I could copy him. I breathed slowly like he did and then took a deep breath as I blew my nose again.

'Bad, I'm getting stalked,' I admitted, feeling scared the stalker could hear me right now.

'Stalked? Do you know by who? And what are they doing?' Bad asked with a terrified, but calm voice. I knew he was trying to stay calm for me, but I heard the anxiety in his voice.

'I don't know,' I mumbled, sighing deeply. 'I get at least a hundred texts a day, tenths of calls if not hundreds and they send me letters, followed me with their car and send pictures of me to my phone number.'

'What happens if you block them?' Bad questioned.

'They make new phone numbers, they made like twenty emails and keep making different Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat accounts to text me again. I keep blocking them, but it doesn't work.'

'Can you go to the police?'

I sighed. 'They won't do anything. The police sucks if it's about stalking, they never have enough proof and it's not serious enough in their eyes. Bad, I got threatened today. They told me they wanted to kill me.'

'My goodness, Dream. Do Sapnap and George know about this?'

'No, because...' I started, doubting if I should tell him. I decided to be honest and sighed again. 'I know it's bad, but I kind of suspect Sapnap of doing this as a failed prank. I don't know, I should trust my friends but some things could have either only been Sapnap or an actual psychopath and I don't want to think it could be the last thing.'

'I won't tell Sapnap anything, but maybe I can try to get information out of him. I don't think he'd actually do something like this if I'm honest,' Bad admitted. 'Sapnap is a great guy, he wouldn't threaten to kill you.'

'I know and I also know he wouldn't do this, but I hate how I can't stop thinking about it. It upsets me that I suspect my best friends of something like this.'

'Do you suspect George too then?' Bad asked after I said "friends".

I breathed out through my mouth. 'I don't really think George is behind this, but if Sapnap is, then they might do this together.'

'Alright, I understand that you're paranoid, but I'm almost sure they aren't doing this to you. This is stalking and this wouldn't be a funny prank at all. I would genuinely unfriend them if they would ever think this was funny.'

'Me too, that's what's scaring me so much. I don't know, it's not even the fact that I think they might do this. It's more that it scares me that there's a chance and then I have to leave my best friends.'

Bad was quiet for a little. 'If you will have to leave them for pulling such a horrible prank, I'm on your side, alright? I will stay with you and help you get through it.'

'They wouldn't hurt me so much, right? Am I a bad friend for not trusting them? I guess I do trust them, but I'm just really paranoid.'

'Do you remember the days we just used to play bedwars together with a nick? What if we play together for distraction? You don't have to but we used to enjoy that.'

I smiled. 'Thanks, Bad. You're great, I would love to play with you. Thank you for being the most amazing and sweetest guy there is.'

'Aww, you're great, Dream. Never forget that.'
