Someone New

Then my phone rings...

"Hello?"
"Hi is this Y/N?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Hi! My name is Clay. You might know me as "Dream" I asked Jimmy for your phone number. I saw the hide and seek video and thought you were awesome! Is there any chance you play minecraft?"
"Oh wow...are you- is THE dream calling me- what is happening?! Yes i play minecraft!"
"Ahaha well would you want to be in one of my friend's next video?"
"I would love to! What would we be doing?"
"Well its a video we're filming with my friend George and basically you and I will be bees and help George finish the game"
"We're gonna be bees? How is that gonna work"
"George coded a mod where we're bees. Don't worry about it, it's gonna be great! So you in?"
"Absolutely!! When are we filming?"
"How's later tonight?"
"Sounds good, is like 9 pm okay?"
"9 is perfect, I'll add you to the discord server and to the minecraft server. See you at 9!"
"See you then!"

*phone call ends*

What just happened. OH MY GOD IM GOING TO BE IN A MINECRAFT VIDEO WITH DREAM AND GEORGE!! HOLY SHIT

That one phone call had changed my mood for the rest of the day. I forgot all about Karl and our gruelling phone call for hours.

- - time skip - -

8:30 pm...

8:45 pm...

9:00 pm...

Alrighty time to play minecraft as a bee... still doesn't sound right but whatever, it'll be fun

After hours of playing and successfully finishing the game, we end the stream and stay in vc.

"Hey guys i'm going to head to bed now. Thanks for playing with us tonight Y/n! I had a lot of fun."
"Thanks for inviting me! I had lots of fun too! Bye George"
"Bye Gogy, I'll text you tomorrow"
"Sounds good, bye guys!"

George leaves the call so now it's only me and Dream.

N/A'S POV

"So Y/n tell me a bit about yourself."
"Uh what do you want to know?"
"Anything!"
"Okay well, I lived in LA for a few years and then my ex cheated on me so I left and moved to North Carolina to live with my brother, Chandler. Then I started seeing my brother's friend and he ended up being the opposite of who I thought he was. So now I am taking a break with love, I guess... What about you? What does the life of Dream look like"

We both let out a chuckle before Dream starts to speak.

"Well first off, call me Clay when we're not streaming or anything. Uh well let's see...born and raised in Florida and now I live with one of my best friends. I have 2 sisters and a brother, theres my older sister then me, then my other sister and brother. I have a cat named Patches, she's awesome. I had a girlfriend a while ago but we broke up when she cheated on me. So I am also taking a break with love" Clay laughs and you join him.

(A/n: made some stuff up idk whats true so apologies if I got something wrong)

"Well, nice to meet you Clay" you say exaggerating the y.
"Nice to meet you too y/n!"

After talking and getting to know each other more Clay speaks up

"You know...you should come visit Florida sometime! My roommate is on a trip right now so you could always stay with me if that makes it easier."
"You know, that sounds like exactly what I need right now. Let me look at some flights"
"I'll try to brainstorm some fun things we can do while you're here!"
"Sounds like a plan" not realizing, you start to smile at the excitement Clay is showing.
"There's a flight for tomorrow, is that okay?"
"That's perfect! I can pick you up at the airport"
"Awesome! Well I'm gonna start packing and I gotta tell Chandler so he doesn't think I just disappeared"
"Okay! Well I'll see you tomorrow y/n!!"
"See you tomorrow Clay!"

*you hang up*

holy shit...i'm meeting Dream tomorrow. HOLY SHIT I'M LEAVING TOMORROW I HAVE TO PACK OH GOD

So many thoughts ran through your mind, trying to organize outfits and pack your necessities when you hear a knock at your door.

"Come in!"
"Hey y/n"
"Hey Chandler, whats up?"
"Uhm can you sit down for a second?"
"Oh okay...is everything okay?"
"Yea I just- are you packing?"
"Yea! Dream invited me to meet up with him in Florida so I bought a ticket and I'm going tomorrow."
"Oh...okay... well what I wanted to talk about is that Karl called me and he explained his side of the story and what happened in LA. Do you want to hear it?"

In the span of a second, different emotions flooded your body. Anger - he really called my brother? Anxiety - oh god what did he tell Chandler... and many others. Reluctantly you nod and he continues.

"So basically he feels really bad about how he acted on the phone call and that his emotions got the best of him. Karl didn't want to hurt you, he was just hurt. When he saw you in LA he thought you were getting back with Levi and that you had led him on. After the phone call, Sapnap and Quackity explained their conversation with you and he felt horrible about how he spoke to you. I know he's one of my best friends but you're my sister. You know I would choose you over anyone but to play devil's advocate in this situation...I think you should talk to him again."
"I don't know Chandler...he really hurt me. You didn't hear how he talked to me. It was like he was completely different and maybe that was the REAL him... I don't want to talk to him right now or maybe ever. I need to think about it but not right now. Right now I'm going to pack and get ready to go to Florida."
"Okay y/n...you know I love you. You're my sister. I want you to be happy and I'll support you in whatever you decide."
"Thanks Chandler. I love you too"
"Okay Cara and I are going to bed now, do you need a ride to the airport?"
"No i'll be okay. Thanks though. Goodnight"
"Goodnight y/n"

Slowly but surely, with a slight smile on his face, Chandler walks out of your room, closing the door behind him.

Feeling relieved that the conversation is over you go back to packing when your phone rings, interrupting you again.

Ugh can I not get 15 mins to just pack in silence?!

Then you see your phone screen and you stand there in shock.
