Hurting Or Healing? (Season 2 of Long Lost Love)

Beginning

After putting Tubbo to bed I exited the building, to be welcomed by the strong wind. And a cloudy sky. I frowned at the sight. It would be freezing to go all the way to the base. I have a lot of explaining to do when I get there. But for now, where do I go? Dream? It would be a hassle to tell him everything that happened. And honestly I'm emotionally drained after the story. It seems like everyone just approaches me, yet I never approach them. Not everything should be laid out for me, I agree, but now out of all times, in the cold, is when noone comes close to me.

Wait.

What am I saying?

I shouldn't be waiting or hoping for someone to come sweep me off my feet. I'm independent. I thought I got through this. I don't need anyone to stay alive.

With a harsh slap of reality, I got to my feet and began walking to the community house. At least there's a bed that I could sleep in there.

I'm starting to have a better sleep schedule here. Maybe it's the side effects of the syringe. That... needle. Sends shivers to my spine just thinking about it.

I eventually reached the house without thinking about the accident. There were torches inside and I could see Sapnap and George inside. I am still allowed to go here, aren't I? It would be real awkward if I was actually banned from here. Not like they can really hurt me anyway. I could hear the faint screams of arguing. I can't deal with this shit right now.

"-een hours already! Where is he!?" George paced back and forth, quickly typing on his communicator. Sapnap was leaning on the wall, frowning.

"As much as I get why your worrying, there isn't a single force in this world that could possibly stop him, at that peak of his ambition" he sadly concluded. I walked into the side door and both pairs of eyes landed on me. But I wasnt concerned for them, I glanced around the room and my eyes lit up when I saw a bed in the corner. They stared at me confused.

"Where the hell have you been, you dumbass!? Dream's been looking for you everywhere!" Sapnap angrily shouted. This is the most serious and angriest I've ever seen Sapnap.

"He's been neglecting himself because of you!" George added on. I sighed and sat on the bed. They surrounded me.

"Let's just say, I was finishing some unattended buziness. Or was forced to, per say" I didn't try to cover it up, I just left them with the half truth.

"Well whatever the hell happened, you have to call him and tell him your here, or else he's gonna kill the ender dragon" Sapnap glared at me. I got my communicator and begrudgingly called my now boyfriend. He picked up in a few seconds.

"ELLIE! YOUR THERE!" was one of the first things that destroyed my ears.

"Yes, I'm alive and well. You can come back now, don't go starting a war for me" I chuckled. It was obvious he was relieved.

"You know I would commit multiple war crimes for you" I could hear his smile through his words.

"Yes, but you have to take care of yourself. I heard you were neglecting your own health" I almost scolded. I could hear his awkward, guilty laugh.

"I thought you were kidnapped again. What happened?" he turned the question to me. I bit the inside of my cheek and glanced at the other two in the room.

"I promise with my life that I'll explain, just not now. My mental and your physical state are not ready for the story I heard" I could hear confusion in his voice but he agreed. George and Sapnap calmed down a bit, although I could tell they did not appreciate what I did to their best friend. I tried to sleep, but I think my nerves weren't calm enough so I just closed my eyes and laid there. After about 40 minutes of trying to sleep, I heard the voices of the top and soon their shadows were looming over me. I wasn't gonna lie, it felt threatening, but I wanted to see what they were doing to try.

"Don't you think Dream has been a little too head over heels for her?" Sapnap asked his friend. I was offended, but not enough to break my fake trance. George sighed.

"He seems happy, that's all that matters, right?" Hhe softly replied. I felt a pang of guilt through my heart from that. Dream is happy, no matter how many sacrifices he makes for this relationship. He ended the L'manburg war, because he wanted to spend his days with me. Instead it's being spent on my revenge and the aftermath of that.

"I don't wanna be rude or anything, but things were simpler before Elaine showed up. Before Tommy and the others showed up. It was just us three in this server versus the world" he sadly claimed. That was definitely rude.

"I do agree that it was more peaceful then, but Dream is much more content now that he's found the love of his life. We should be happy for him" George disagreed. They are about to have a full blown argument right about now, aren't they?

"But you know how Dream is, he acts all tough and bad on the outside and on the inside he's vulnerable to feelings. It could be one-sided love and she could be fooling all of us. Just look at how careless she is of him chasing her around all of the time" he rambled on. I would be mad if the words he said didn't cut like a knife. It was true, I was unintentionally making him run and save me ever since I got here.

"We shouldn'tbe badmouthing her, when she's right beside her, dont you think?" George's shadow passed by me.

"You agree she's using him then?"

A/N

Two best friends, yet two completely different perspectives. There are people who say that Dream is happy, and there are some that say he doesn't know he's being tortured.
