-Y/N's POV (London Boy)-
When I asked George what we were, he was silent for a few moments with an expression I couldn't read.

GEORGE:
"We're Y/N and George..." He raised his eyebrows with a light smile, "Isn't that enough?"

I narrowed my eyes at him in disappointment.

Y/N:
"You introduced me to your parents as your girlfriend, but yeah sure, Y/N and George, that's enough..." I said lowly while looking away.

GEORGE:
"Y/N..." He sighed.

Y/N:
"You don't see me as a girlfriend because of what happened to Clay and Nick, that's what this is really about..." I realized while clenching my jaw.

His expression fell.

Y/N:
"Deep down, you do blame yourself for their deaths but deeper down, you know that if you never met me...they wouldn't be gone..."

George adverted his gaze with a frown.

Y/N:
"The first time around...you involved yourself in my life, so I did my best to keep you protected...because I couldn't let anyone else get hurt because of me...and now the second time around...I'm the one who gets involved first because I thought you all could help me, just like before..."

Another sigh escaped his lips.

GEORGE:
"You're right..." He said lowly while staring hard at his lap, "There is a part of me deep down that blames myself but...also you..."

Y/N:
"That's why you called us Y/N and George, not boyfriend and girlfriend..." Tears started to warm up, "Because all you see me as now is a villain..."

GEORGE:
"I don't see you as a villain, Y/N..." He tilted his head while meeting my eyes, "I...I care about you, I do..."

Y/N:
"But at the end of the day, the ones you cared about the most were killed because of me...because I came to Florida..." I bit the inside of my cheek, "That's why you can't call me your girlfriend or kiss me..."

He swallowed hard as his lips curled down further.

Y/N:
"In the first timeline, Clay and Nick survived...we all did..." I clenched my jaw tighter, "Even with them around, you couldn't say the L word to me...yeah, you have trouble saying it because your parents never did but...you still said it to them..."

George sighed yet again while dropping his shoulders.

Y/N:
"You were a blessing in my life...and I was a curse in yours..." I nodded slowly while pressing my lips together, the tears filled my gaze fully.

Meanwhile, George was still silent. After all, everything I was saying was the truth, and he knew it too.

Y/N:
"Maybe being taken by Dream was a good thing...maybe I should've died with Maia..." My eyes fluttered at the comforter.

George's brows furrowed at Maia's name.

Y/N:
"Look, don't think about the fact that we ended up together in the first timeline...don't think about Russ's goons...think about me and think about how you feel about me..." I raised my hands to cup George's cheeks, staring him deep in the eyes.

He swallowed hard while meeting my gaze.

Y/N:
"I know things are different now...I know you're not the same George...be honest with me...whatever you say, I will do...I know every time you look at me, you see them because of what happened, because of me..."
