ch.15 - Coming Out

Karl and Quackity just stood there in silence until gaining the confidence to speak up.

He looked at dream. "Dream, how could you?," Karl spoke, "How could you do this to george? After all he's been through!?" Dream looked at his friends that were falling apart in front of him. "Karl i- i didn't mean to, you—" "No! You've crossed the line so many times it's not even there anymore dream!" He paused speaking low under his breath. "I'd like you to leave, please." "You're not even going to hear what I have to say?" Dream turned to quackity. "Or you? Quackity?" He shook his head. "Dream, george would like you to leave. And I think it's best you do." Dream sighed and made his way to the door.

As he entered the ground floor, he heard george talking with his mother in the kitchen. Not bothering, dream went out the front door, hopping in his car and began to pull out the driveway.

Hearing the car, george rushed outside to see dream driving off. "Dream.." He fell to the concrete path below him. "Don't.. go." A few tears fell from his eyes as he sat there in the rays of sun.

George's mother rushed out the door only to see her son in an emotional state. "Oh george! What are you doing on the ground?" She saw his puffy eyes, causing a sense of worry to hit her stomach. "Hun, now why are you crying? Tell me." George looked up at her. "My friend, one of my best, just drove off without saying anything." "How is he something to cry about, honey?" He gave her a scared but revealing stare. "Oh, oh george. I'm sorry. He will come back around don't worry." "You think?" George wiped his face. "I hope." His mother hugged him tightly. "He will."

Karl and Quackity quietly watched from the doorway. Karl looked at quackity with nervousness. He whispered, "Oh no..what did we just do..?" "Something terrible."

—2 days pass—

Dream took a day to think about all that happened. He was mad at himself but more importantly disappointed. He regretted ever listening to sapnap and his "speech."

He drove to sapnap's house. Knocking on the front entrance, he was greeted by his father.

He smiled. "Ah, hello dream! Please, please come in." Dream nodded then stepped inside. "Thank you." He shut the door. "A fine day isn't it? Nice weather, no problems in the sky!" "Uh-huh yup." He exhaled loudly. "Anyways, what can I do for you today?" "Well I was hoping to see sapnap? Is he home by any chance?" He sighed. "Ah, no my son is never home. But it's good he is out doing things rather than sitting in his room, eh? Is there a message I can leave for him, that is if he comes home tonight?" "No that's okay, thank you though. Have a good rest of your day sir!" And just like that dream walked back to his car.

He jumped into the driver's seat and paused. Where is he? Not quackity's, and not mine. Oh wait.. A thought popped into dream's as he began to leave sapnap's perimeter. Punz's. It's the only logical place, this has to be it. He drove off on the highway for about half an hour until reaching his destination.

An old friend, Punz, used to hang out with dream all the time. After he moved, they grew distant and eventually just stopped communicating as much. But now, here dream was parked in his driveway contemplating on what to say.

Dream grunted. "Hey Punz, it's me, dream!" "Ugh no." He tried again. "Punz! Long time no see buddy." He smacked his forehead. "Absolutely not." He sighed. "Dream, just go up to the door and say hi." And so he did. Dream knocked on the front door hoping for the best.

A blonde boy around the same age of dream answered the door. "Hello?" It took a moment to process in his brain. "Oh my god, dream! Long time no see buddy! How ya doing?" How ironic. "Hey punz! I'm doing alright, could be better but y'know. How are you?" "Aw man I hope everything is good. I'm doing good! Hey, come on in!" Dream smiled. "Thanks, man." He shut the door behind himself. "So, what brings you here?" "Um well actually i'm looking for a familiar friend, sapnap. Is he here?" Dream was desperate for a lead on him at this point, and punz could tell. He looked around before whispering to dream, "Yeah, but don't tell him I said so. He hid in the closet right over there." He pointed to his left. Dream nodded in response. Whispering back, "Thank you."

Dream marched over to the closet quickly opening up the sliding door to see the one and only. "Sapnap! Why are you hiding from me and all your other friends?" He gave dream a disgusted and annoyed look. "Did you really just ask that." Punz stood across the room examining the area from afar. Dream continued, "whatever. I need you to delete the edited photo off of the internet, now, please." "Yeah fuck no." "Well why not!?"  " 'Why not!?' dream are you serious? I decided when it was time to send it out and I figured it was a good time. So I did." Dream looked at sapnap fiercely. "Sapnap, just this once. Please delete it." He fake-yawned. "And what's in it for me, exactly?" "Whatever you want." He smirked. "Fine. Stop hanging out with George and Karl, and we got ourselves a deal." Dream grew angered. "What!? No!" "Sorry, that's all I want." Dream paused, thought for a moment, then proceeded to talk, "I'll give you my whole drug stash, deal?" Sapnap bounced out of the pile of clothes in the closet. "The whole stash?" "Yes." He climbed out and grabbed dream by the shoulders. "My man, looks like we got ourselves a deal!" They shook hands then walked over to Punz.

He stood there against the wall with his hands crossed. "I would have never suspected that one, you, dream, do drugs. And two, that sapnap actually agreed to a deal. Well done." Punz clapped. "Sapnap got me into it." "Makes sense." Sapnap threw his hands in the air. "Ay, I'm right here you idiots!" They all laughed.

After chatting for a few, it began to get late. "Well, I should be going. Later dudes." Dream walked over to the front door. "Bye man, nice seeing ya again. We should definitely meet up some time soon. Oh and sap, your dad seems worried about you." He smiled. "For sure." Punz replied. Sapnap stood up. "What?" "Yeah, you should really go and check up on him." He shook his head and put his hand out waiting for another in return. "Bye." Dream completed the handshake then left.

Time to drive back to george's house.
