Sadly ever after Dnf AU

Safety

Clay picked up George. Is that weird? I hope that's not awkward. He is just so much smaller than me and looks so weak.

Come on, stay with me for now.

Clay walked out of the bathroom with George and headed for his car. I'm going to have to tell my parents. What will they say?

I pull my hoodie up and nuzzle my head into Dream shoulder as I try to stop crying, but I can't, I'm in so much pain and I'm just so upset too. I cling to him tightly as if holding on to dear life. I just don't wanna go back home. I don't even know if I can call that place home.

Clay looks down at George as the two walk outside. He was so fragile. George just hugged him back tightly, and Clay kept a comforting grip on George. And they made their way over to his car in the parking lot.

Clay didn't want to talk much, he wanted George to calm down a bit before he brought him to his house.

"George...." Clay started. "I'm going to bring you to my house to stay for a bit..." Clay said in a soft tone. He has to be okay with this right?

"A bit!?" He freaks out  "Whe- wh.. what do you mean a bit?? How long is that.. please I don't wanna go back home!!?!" Hes freaking out at this point.

"George! I'm not gonna kick you out. You can stay at my house forever, if you want. Ok? Just please calm down... I'm going to get you somewhere safe, ok?" Clay said, with the most soothing voice ever. George needs me to be calm, so I will be calm. You got this, Clay.

Clay started his car. Now to explain everything to my mom and step father.

George is absolutely freaking out that he could potentially fall into a panic attack. Yeah something is definitely going on at home. Theres no way Dream is taking him back home.

"Please just don't let them take me back.. don't let them find me.. I cant handle it anymore please."

George is freaking out. So it is really bad. Really bad at home. Well, he can rest easy then. He can stay at my house, forever, he won't have to ever see his abuse parents again.

"Okay George. Alright. Okay. I'm going to drive you to my house..." Clay said, but George was still freaking out.

How do I handle this?

"George, please just- just calm down and breathe okay? Take deep breaths." Clay said as he pulled out of the parking lot. Hopefully everything will be okay.

George is crying and shaking so fucking hard. Its as if he can't stop.

George needs to calm down before anything can happen.

Calmly, Clay drove to his house. He parked the car and turned off the ignition. He made sure to look over at George to see if he was still freaking out. Clay also made sure to put the radio on, hopefully putting some calming music on could help. Then he opened the passenger side door and turned to George.

"George?" Clay started, "George, look at me. I need you to focus, ok?" Clay said, his voice still calm. We need to see what's wrong.

George looks over at Dream his mind running 10million miles a second.

"George... I'm gonna ask you some questions. Can you do that for me?" Clay asked, his voice was calm but firm. He needs to know what's wrong. George needs me.
Please get out of that headspace of yours and pay close attention.

"Are you in any pain? Physical pain?" Clay asked.

"Mhm." *George whines, letting out cries.*

"Where, everywhere? Or just in a certain area?" Clay asked. Hopefully it isn't something that serious.
George seems scared... Why isn't he talking?
