Chapter 37 • Regret

❥Warning:
Includes strong language and blood.

-DREAM's POV-
I woke up to a ringing in my ears as I felt a sharp pain in my arm, making me wince as I squeezed my eyes. I groaned then tried moving. I lifted my head up slowly as my vision was blurry.

I blinked several times as my vision shortly became normal again. The house was engulfed in flames. I noticed Y/N was unconscious in front of the front door. Her head was turned towards the door, all I saw was her hair.

My eyes widened then I saw Sapnap to the right. He had a thick trail of blood on the side of his head as he was unconscious too. Then, I realized someone was missing.

George.

My head shot to the left of me, then to the right and then behind when I winced again because of my arm. I looked down to it. My right arm was covered in blood. My eyes widened as I coughed because of the flames.

I needed to make sure George was okay but the longer we were in here, the worse it'd be. I knew that I needed to help the first person I saw instead of the most important one.

I moved slowly as I tried getting up. I pulled my knees to my chest as I coughed more. I shakily stood up then made my way over to Sapnap since he was the closest to me.

I tapped his face several times with my left hand.

DREAM:
"Nick—" I coughed, "Wake up—"

After he didn't wake up, I sighed then tried picking him up. I slowly placed his arm over my shoulder as I headed for the back door that was blown up, leading directly outside. I limped the whole way.

Once I made it outside into the fresh air, I set Sapnap down on the grass, making me fall onto my knees. I tried stopping myself from falling with my hurt arm which made me groan in pain.

I looked down at it then coughed again, remembering Y/N was still in the burning house. I shakily stood up as I took a deep breath of the fresh air then immediately stumbled, collapsing on the grass.

My vision became blurrier as I blinked slowly, trying to stay awake. That's when I saw a drop of blood fall onto my left arm. I was bleeding on the side of my head. I couldn't stay awake anymore as my eyes shut fully, falling onto my back.

-Y/N's POV-
My eyes opened slowly as I immediately coughed. I looked ahead at me at the front door then turned my head to the left.

Y/N:
"Nick?" My voice cracked.

I coughed again as I felt so weak. I saw several flames in front of me and next to me, inches away. My eyes widened as fear crept to my chest. My head was killing me as I slowly let my chin hit the ground. Suddenly, I felt arms wrap around me as I was being picked up.

I shut my eyes as my breathing slowed down. After a few thuds, I was hit with a breeze of fresh air. I felt myself be laid down on the concrete. My eyes opened slowly. I tilted my head to my right to see a blurry figure next to me with dark brown hair, he was unconscious. Then I realized it was George.

My eyes widened then I saw a shadow appear over me. I met eyes with my father.

DAD:
"It's okay, an ambulance will be here soon. Just try to keep your eyes open." He said in a calming tone.

My eyebrows squished together as I squinted at him. I coughed again then remembered Sapnap.

Y/N:
"Where's...Nick?"

DAD:
"Save your breath, sweetie." He frowned while holding my cheek then I coughed some more while leaning my head back against the concrete.

A few minutes later, an ambulance arrived and picked the 4 of us up. I fell unconscious while they put me on the stretcher.
