My Little Mushroom (DNF)

CHAPTER 4 - Behind The Scenes

George laid on his bed. He opened a book and the tip of the pen wrote 'First entry... I never thought I would start a diary but I needed to tell someone, Sapnap may be an amazing friend, but I still can't say some things to him. Today... I had the weirdest thing happen to me...' At 11.35 4 pages were coated in words. The pen finally ended its writing for the night with '*sigh* I LIKE like Dream... But I don't know how or even IF I'm going to be able to tell him... I don't even know if he's gay...I guess some things just happen and I can't do anything about this...' George closed the book and tucked it under his mattress. He got into bed trying to sleep but couldn't. Finally he drifted off at around 12.

A few weeks went by, George avoided Dream as much as possible, the only times he saw him was during his class with him or during lunch, but at both times he was safe with others and teachers present. Meeting Dream after school would be the only problem, but luckily it didn't happen yet. George would hang out with Sapnap any time he got and though he kept telling him about anything that would happen with Dream, he still kept some secrets to write down in his diary.

'Entry 10, today was ok, I saw Dream during class, nothing happened, he just shot me mad looks, for like the 3RD WEEK now... I told Sapnap, it was all normal. So everything's ok... *sigh* But he's still on my mind...

'Entry... 16, I saw Dream today... like usual. He sat next to me during last period, But I saw something different about him. Something I had never really seen or ever even THOUGHT he did. Dream was smiling.'

'Entry 17... I'm writing this right before homeroom. I normally don't write during this time. But right now, Dream walked past me in the hallway and threw a paper at me as he went by. It was scrunched up and when I opened it and read it, or saw it... I... I don't know. I was just a circle with a smiling face... I don't know if I should tell Sapnap...'

'ENTRY 20 IM FREAKING OUT I JUST CAME TO MY LOCKER AND SAW A GREEN POST IT ON THE FRONT. IT SAID "meet me by the back of the school after class :)" I KNOW ITS DREAM, BUT, I- I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO... SHOULD I GO? I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD TELL SAPNAP, I KNOW I SHOULD, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DON'T WANT TO-I JUST...

'Its almost the end of the last period. I cut off in the last entry because the bell rang... I didn't see Dream today at all... I don't know if he even came to school...I'm not going to tell Sapnap. I want to see what happens... I KNOW this is a stupid thing to do, but I can't stop it...'

'the bell rang... I'm heading down the hall right now... I'm honestly... kind of scared to go... I don't know if I should... but I feel like I should... I'm out on the grounds... I'm heading to the side right now... I don't see Dream or anyone yet...'

George heard a rumble behind him and in alarm, stuffed the book in his bag. He looked behind and saw the top of a black vehicle pull up on the street outside the school wall. He couldn't see anything because of the wall but he heard multiple doors open. George thought it didn't matter and was about to go to the back when he noticed a head of dirty blond hair pop up by the driver's side. Along with a hazel brown and pink and a slightly visible second dirty blond. It didn't take George to realize who it was and ran, but to the back of the school.

He had never been there before and right when he thought he could run off property from there he came to a halt on a dead end. The wall there was at least 9 feet tall and had no ways of climbing over. It was visible no one could hear or see that part either.

"HEY YOU LITTLE SH*T!" George turned to see Dream and the others standing by the only way out. George froze where he stood and tried to find a way out. And saw a small gap between Dream and Technoblade. He figured if he was fast enough he could go through that, considering he was smaller than them. And so he took off.

"WOAH, WOAH, WOAH where do you think you're going huh?" Techno said easily grabbing George by the shirt as he went through. He made it out but was again jerked back by Techno holding onto him. He pulled George in behind them again making sure he couldn't slip out of his grip and escape. George squirmed and tried to get the grip lose, but almost hearing the shirt rip made it clear they had no intention of letting him get away that time.

"Hey Dream your little maggot is really trying to piss off, just finish your business already and we'll call it a day"

"LET ME GO YOU- IDIOT"

"Awwwww~ does mama's boy not swear?~" Tommy teased out from behind Wilbur.

"Tommy, shut up." Wilbur said annoyed.

"Ok, Ok Techno, gimme that" Dream said going further behind and near the wall. Techno lifted George slightly and pushed him towards Dream. George being almost midair as he did it, went staggering towards Dream and fell into him, getting caught by his arms. George looked up to face him looking down on him like he was a wad of gum stuck on the bottom of his shoe.

"WHAT THE- GET OFF YOU PR*CK!" he said pushing George off and almost sending him falling. George only had a moment of standing freely with no grip on him for a second until Dream grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back closer.

"You are such a little annoying sh*t, even MORE annoying than Tommy!"
"HEY"

"SHUT UP! I don't know HOW that's even possible, but you've managed to get under my nerve, and George you will NOT get away without at least a f**kin punch to your face." He said in a threatening voice and pulled George closer. George was really scared at that moment. Only then he realized he would actually get in a fight. And that no one could help him or come to save him. He figured he only had one thing to do.

"HELP! PLEASE SOMEBODY COME TO THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL!" He screamed out towards the side of the school. Dream and the others froze and got a bit nervous.

"SHUT UP!" Dream said through gritted teeth and shaking him in his grip "SHUT UP YOU STUPID LITTLE PIECE OF SH*T, OR WE'LL ALL GET CAUGHT!" he said still shaking him every time a word was sent out.

"HELP! ANYONE PLEASE AT THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL!"

"SHUT UP OR IM GOING TO F**KIN KILL YOU!"

"HELP!"

"SHUT-THE-F**K-UP!"

"HEL-" George fell to the ground and moaned. Dream lowered his fist and grabbed George off the ground and back up again.

"I told you to shut up, and you didn't listen." George still had his hands covering his face and on the verge of crying. "Oh, stop it, it's not that bad" Dream said and pulled Georges hands away. Both his upper and lower lip was cracked and the area was red with blood coming out of the lips and nose. The blood entered his mouth and ran through his teeth and gums. Staining them red. George looked at Dream with teary eyes. His mouth quivered but he didn't cry. He had the look of someone who felt betrayed and scared. Dream froze for a minute. He lost the look of a heartless person and looked to be stunned.

"Yo Dream, are you going to end this or not?!" Techno called out after a moment of silence.

"Oh, uhm... Yeah..." Dream lifted his fist again and aimed at George. George, seeing the fist raise, squirmed and grabbed onto the Dream's arm and tried to pull it away. He was weak from the first punch and so everything he did, did nothing to affect Dream. He continued to look at Dream, this time tears running down his cheeks, and a face that called out for mercy.

"Please... don't... let me go please... I-" George said, but Dream ignored it and sent the fist forward.
George closed his eyes tightly and expected excruciating pain in a second but after nothing for a while he opened his eyes to see the fist stopped right in front of him. Just millimeters away from his face. He was confused, until it lowered and he saw Dream looking at the floor and looking less tense than before. He loosened the grip on George's collar and let go of him.

"WHAT THE- DREAM?! WHY'D YOU LET GO OF HIM?" Techno screamed out coming up to him and going past George. George saw that the two strongest were occupied and didn't think twice. He bolted out between Wilbur and Tommy and ran out to the front of the school and out before they could follow. After a bit of running and coming to the quiet lane, George slowed down and thought of what just happened.

"Why did... Why did Dream let me go?... He... Like... I HATED him after he punched me... but... why would he let me go?... if..." George rubbed his hand on his face and pulling it away saw a lot of blood. "Oh god... moms going to flip..." he pulled out a serviette from his back and wet it with water from his bottle. He carefully patted his face and cleaned it as much as he could.

Entering the house George didn't see his mother anywhere. Assuming she was either out or upstairs, he ran up and entered his room closing the door behind him. After the shower both his lips and nose had stopped bleeding. The cracks on the lip was slightly visible but not unless you focus on it for a while.

"GEORGE COME DOWN FOR LUNCH!"

"COMING!"

'Entry... 23? Yeah... I don't know what happened... Dream punched me... and yes I did hate him for that... but then when he was going to punch me again he... he let me go... he looked different...He looked...sad?... I don't know... anyway I DO still... kind of like him, mainly cuz he let me go... but I don't know... this is complicated I'm going to have to tell this to Sapnap, but tmrw... *sigh* I don't know what's happening, and I'm kind of scared to go tmrw to school.'
