Georges Pov-

I had to get this food out. It was too much. I went to the bathroom and stuck my fingers down my throat. It felt like forever but eventually, food came up. I continued and then realized Dream had walked in.

" Oh, George." He grabbed my hand and pulled it out of my throat. He grabbed a wet rag and walked over to me. He gently wiped my face and flushed the toilet. He pulled me away from the toilet and looked at me. My lip quivered and tears spilled down my face.

" I'm sorry. Please don't be mad. I didn't want to but couldn't help it." I said with my voice cracking.

" It's okay. I'm not mad or disappointed. I love you so much. This is going to take a lot of time and work but I'm here every step of the way. Whatever you need I'm here." He said gently.

" P-Please d-don't l-l-leave m-me a-alone. I-I-I c-can't t-t-trust m-myself." I said in between sobs.

" Okay, beautiful. I'll be right here. You won't be alone." He said calmly. We stayed there for a while until I calmed down.

" My parents want to talk to you. It's nothing bad." Dream suddenly said. I nodded lightly. We walked downstairs and sat on the couch. I was so nervous I felt like I could throw up again.

" Hi, sweetie. How are you feeling?" Rebecca asked. I just shrugged.

" So, we just want to talk to you nothing bad of course. We want to know what we can do to help you." Daniel said.

" I don't think I can be helped," I admitted. Dream rubbed my back and Rebecca walked over and pulled me into a hug. I couldn't help but to let the sobs out.

" It's okay honey. We will do everything we need to do to help you. We love you so much. I know you can be helped. Dream was in the same spot as you a while back. You see he still has setbacks. Recovery isn't linear. This is going to take time and support and we will give you all the support you need. We love you so much sweetie you just got to start letting us in. We understand that having people there isn't something you are used to but you're going to have to get used to it because we aren't leaving." Rebecca told me never pulling away from the hug. I nodded lightly and felt everything that had happened to me go through my head. I let out a loud cry and felt more arms hold me. I stayed there sobbing for what felt like forever. I know I need help. I need to let them in. I just didn't know how. I stayed like this crying feeling all of the pain from my past flow through. Crying tears, I never got to cry. All while being held and feeling safe. After I calmed down, I stayed in Rebecca's arms.

" The doctor said you need more therapy so we have an appointment tomorrow and you will go two times a week. It's just until you get things back on track. Does that sound okay?" Daniel asked softly. I nodded and pulled away from the hug.

" I promise I want to get better it's just so fucking hard," I admitted.

" We know sweetie but aren't alone. We will be here every step of the way. We love you so much." Rebecca said. I nodded. I turned to Dream and grabbed him tightly.

" Are you going to leave?" I asked quietly.

" No, no not at all pretty boy. I want to help you so we can have an amazing future together. I love you so much and I will help you the best I can pretty boy." He said pulling me onto his lap. I placed my head on his shoulder and held him tightly.

" I love you so much pretty boy. You are so beyond beautiful. I can't believe I get to love you." He said gently. I didn't say anything.

" You guys go get some rest," Daniel said. Dream picked me up and carried me to the room. Patches jumped up beside us. Dream grabbed some clothes for me and him.
