I

t was a normal day for George. He woke up, put on his uniform and went downstairs to have breakfast
Then after breakfast he would go to school.
As he was walking to school he was still thinking about last night.He decided to stop by his favorite coffee shop.  It wasn't like any other place for him because it was the only place where he could drink a cup of black coffee in one go without anyone questioning it.
And so he walked into the dark coffee shop.
There were two employees behind the counter. The taller one was busy talking on his phone while the shorter one waited on the customers. George ordered his usual caramel cappuccino and headed to the park.
He sat down on a bench in the park and took his phone out of his back pocket.He decided to message Wilbur.
GEORGE: Hey will could we hangout today after school?
WILBUR:
Sure why not. Where do you want to meet up again?
GEORGE: idk it's up to you
WILBUR:The old factory at 6? That ok?
GEORGE: sure thing. See you then! :)
George finished his coffee and started to walk to his classes. His first 3 classes were extremely boring. He was drawing in his sketch book the entire time. After all his classes he decided to head home without lunch. He was extremely tired,  especially as he had been up late last night.  As soon as he stepped foot in his house he headed straight to bed.

George woke up feeling rested. He checked his phone and saw that it was 4pm. He decided that he should eat before heading out to the old factory.  And so, he went downstairs and made himself something to eat. He opened up some instant macaroni and cheese.
After eating George went to shower. As he stepped out the bathroom in his towel. He decided to wear a black hoodie and some cargo pants. He packed is bag. When he finally left his house it was 5pm already. It was already getting dark outside. But George did not care as he enjoyed the scenery around him. He felt happy being outside.
George arrived at the factory pretty quickly.No one ever goes to the old factory mainly because it's very well hidden. Once he stepped in he sat down on partly broken stairs. He took out his phone and texted Wilbur
GEORGE: hey man where are you?
I am waiting for you.
WILBUR: I'll be there soon :)
After few minutes Wilbur showed up. George was really happy to see him
as they've been friends forever. They've always been there for each other.They've gone through alot together. Wilbur sat next to George and gave him a hug.
"What's up George?"
he asked
George sighed "My first class was boring, but I wanted to talk with you about something...important."
"Okay," Wilbur said giving George a worried look. "What is going on?"
George looked away, which signed Wilbur that it's something really serious. He took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He offered one to George too, he was kinda surprised since he didn't know Wilbur smokes.
He accepted.
"George what happened?" he asked once George had lit his cigarette.
"You don't smoke?" George questioned
trying to keep the shock out of his voice.
Wilbur looked at him.  He then said in an emotionless tone "yes I do and?"
George shook his head "Sorry, it's just..you don't seem like someone who does?"
"Why wouldn't i?" Wilbur snapped.
George winced at how harsh it sounded "sorry..."
Wilbur sighed. He took one more drag from his cigarette, before putting it out on the floor.
"Anyway," he spoke calmly again. "Tell me what's wrong?"
George was silent for a few minutes but he decided that he needs to get this off his shoulders. He told Wilbur everything what happened yesterday. Wilbur just looked at him, he was lost for words.
When George explained why he was crying, Wilbur pulled him closer into a hug. George was confused,but eventually hugged Wilbur back. After awhile he calmed down.
"You okay now George?"
"Yeah I guess."
"Good. Do you want to spend the night with me? "
"Well I was planning to stay at my house tonight, but if you want to, I can stay over"
Wilbur smiled and nodded happily.
"Alright!" George replied with a grin.  He stood up, picked up his backpack and followed Wilbur out of the building.
Once they got in the car,they drove to his house. They went inside. After unpacking the bag George decided to take a hot bath. He got dressed and went to the kitchen. He grabbed some snacks. He took them with him upstairs to Wilbur's room. They talked for few hours.It was midnight already,  when Wilbur went to sleep. But George was unable to fall asleep.   All the events that happened today kept replaying in his head. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, for everything that's happening to him.
A lot of thoughts came into his mind, but there seemed to be no way to shut them up. He kept drifting in and out of sleep, and every time he woke up, he'd start shaking.It was 3.45 am, he decided to get up he looked around the dark room catching glimpse of a box of cigarettes that Wilbur left on his side table. He decided to take few out of the package so wil isn't suspicious. He went to the backyard he sat down on the swing and took out his lighter. He lit one up, but just barely.He breathed slowly out and inhaled it. He closed his eyes enjoying the cool night air.He didn't feel like his usual self.  He wondered if he should quit. No he decided to finish it. He took another puff and exhaled.He looked around and found himself thinking of things other than his current problems and problems in general. He thought about Wilbur. What was up with him. Why won't he tell him anything. They were supposed to tell each other everything. George felt lost. This awful feeling coming back all the time. He didn't wanted to feel like this.  He decided to stop smoking. He looked up at the sky hoping that maybe a little bit of starlight may ease his pain. He always found comfort looking at the night sky whenever he was sad or upset.He decided to spend the night stargazing. The next morning he left early before Wilbur woke up. He made him breakfast and left there a note.  Then he left.
When he reached his house, he saw a bouquet of black roses. Of course he couldn't tell by himself that they were black, so he decided to read the note that was attached to them. On the note there was written
*I hope those black roses  will make you feel better and bring smiles to your face*.George was kinda confused why would someone give him bunch of black roses but he didn't mind. He took the bouquet inside.  He placed the flowers on his bedroom table. He really liked how they looked, so he decided to draw them.  He was able to draw the black roses perfectly.  He didn't even realize it until later on in the day when he looked at it. He stared at the painting for a long time, trying to figure out what the flowers symbolized, but it remained a mystery. He didn't care about it though. He liked them, he loved the color black. Even though they were ugly and dark,he found them to be beautiful. 
That night he went to sleep dreaming about the flowers, Dream and Wilbur.
