Chapter 6

TW: swearing. Mentions of self harm. Slight angst
Cute chapter before angst bc I'm mean

Clay was still drunk....
Oh god. I hope I hadn't messed things up and I hope clay didn't regret the kiss of the fact we are now dating.
And I need to know why he was crying.
He just told me the back story
Not the reason he was 3 hours late to lesson. 
I was so nervous I felt sick.
I laid there next to clay because after yesterday he decided to cuddle me.
He fell asleep fast. However I was up overthinking and debating wether I should go grab my pencil sharpener (if u understand I'm so so sorry ❤️❤️)
But I refused as I remembered sallys words
"Don't you ever do that again George"
And I promised I wouldn't. It would hurt me more to break a promise to sally than anyone else.
The one thing she taught me was to always keep a secret and be kind.
I managed to get a few hours of sleep before getting woke up by clay moving around.
"George?" He asked
"Clay?" I asked back. I knew why I was here but I don't know if he knows why I'm here.
"Oh no. No no no! What did we do?!" He panicked getting up quickly. Then proceeded to hold his head in pain
"Oh shit. My head! Was I really that drunk yesterday?" He asked sitting down on the floor.
"Drunk enough to give the the second can tab and kiss me and ask me to be your boyfriend..." I say back. Acting like it was nothing.
I don't know where this confidence came from but I was happy with it.
"Oh umm?" He said awkwardly rubbing his hands over his eyes.
"Do you still want to uhh... be my boyfriend?" I ask shyly (🥺👉🏻👈🏻)
"Yeah. Uhh, do u want to be my boyfriend still." He asks sitting up onto my bed.
"Of course I do. If I didn't then why would I of said yes then silly" I laugh
"Okay then... boyfriend" he laughs
He proceeded to hug me I hugged him back.
It was Saturday so we got to do what we wanted round campus and in town.
Some kids went home for the weekend but sally and will signed a concert so I can only come back at half term.
Clay however had a choice. But he didn't want to go home today. He wanted to spend time with me.
"Soo.. where are we going?" I ask.
"We are going to get ice cream." He smiled. Emphasising the word we.
He put his hand on mine and we locked them together so we were holding hands.
We walked down the street towards a fancy looking ice cream parlour.
Once we got inside we took our seats.
I was fiddling with my hoodie strings while dream looked at the Menu.
He looked up at me
"You okay?" He asked
"Yeah... just thinking."
"What about?" He smiled
"oh, nothing..." i smile back
"George, u can talk to me. Your my boyfriend, don't be scared." He giggled. Looking slightly worried.
"I just want to know the reason you were crying the other day?" I sigh. Holding his hand.
I see his face alter to a worried sort of sad face.
"Oh... I'll tell you later. I'd hate to ruin this lovely mood" he smiles before changing to a serious face.
I was now looking at the menu.
He was right. Let's not ruin the cute mood.
"I'll have strawberry please." I smile.
"Basic." He laughs
"Oi!" I laugh
"I'll be back soon." He smiled, pecking my cheek
I am getting use to this relationship thing quickly.
Clay was soon back with the ice cream.
"Here you go Georgie." He smirked, placing my ice cream down on the table
"What did you get?" I ask
"Mint-choc-chip." He said back, taking in a spoon full of his ice cream.
"Ah cool." I smile
Me and clay talked for ages. About all sorts of cool and interesting things like childhood memories and scary things they we had come across.
I found out a lot about clay.
He enjoys reading because his mum was an author and told him the 'best' bedtime stories when he was little.
He moved to the UK because his mum met his dad here and they moved in together.
It was about 4:30 pm and we were walking round town some more.
Before heading back to the dorm.
He sat down on his bed and I sat next to him.
"So, are we going ot talk about the fact you were crying? I-I mean we don't have to I just care and I want to kno-" I asked, being cut of by clay quickly saying
"My dads in re-hab and if he doesn't  get out soon I might have to go into care. That means I change schools... there" he blurted out. Laying down.
Oh my god!
I hope his dad is okay.
I don't want to lose him.
Ever.
"Oh my god, clay! That's so sad. I hope he gets out soon." I smile. Trying to make him feel a little better.
"Thanks George." He smiled back. Hugging me
"Goodnight Dream." I yawn, getting up from his bed and goes to sit on mine. Seen as the single beds aren't enough space for the both of us.
"Goodnight Gogy, I love you." He sighs, getting under his blanket.
"I love you too." I sigh
Falling asleep soon after
but I was abruptly awoken by clay sounding like he hit something.
I looked up to see him sat up with his hands in his head. Groaning in anger.
"Clay?" I grumble
"Go to sleep George, I'm fine. It will all be fine" he says sternly.
Oh no.
What's happed now?
I decided to do as he said and fell asleep again.
Still worried about why he was so angry at this time in the morning.
