You're The Boss (DreamNotFound)

Ice and a lecture (Dream Pov)

Hello everyone, the warning for this is simply swearing.

Dream Pov:

There is absolutely nothing worse then sitting around your house with nothing to do all alone.

Usually I'd be at the office working and chatting with Sapnap but due to that guy from last night hitting me and busting my nose, Sapnap demanded I stay home and rest up. I really didn't want to fight with him so I just listened to him and stayed home.

I was just on my phone scrolling threw twitter liking some random inspirational tweets and cat pictures as Patches laid on my lap being content.

I stopped my scrolling when an email popped up. I had my work email and personal both on my phone incase I wasn't able to be at my computer at any given time. I opened the email app and noticed it was an email from George.

I smiled slightly and opened it.

Hello Mr. Johnson, I am done with my assignments and work for today, if there's nothing else may I please leave early for the day? I have some matters to attend to and would like to get them done early if at all possible.

I chuckled at how formal he was. Everyone at the office called me Dream, but he refused and only called me Mr. Johnson. He made me fell so old along with some other feelings that made my head spin. I thought for a minute knowing there really was nothing left for him to do, and even if there was more work I'd just cover for him without telling him I did so.

Yes you may go home early if you must, however remember next week is our new schedule! Don't be late! Also don't expect to be able to leave early either. Have a good weekend.

I sighed setting my phone down, I grabbed the ice pack that was next to me on the side table and pressed it to my nose. Hissing at the sudden slight discomfort I felt, I picked up the T.V. remote and decided to watch some T.V.

I was flipping through shows mindlessly thinking of Sapnap, and a certain brunet when my phone went off. I looked at the contact and groaned seeing it was my father.

My dad wasn't a bad man he just... had a vision for me, and if I strayed form that vision he'd put me back in my place. I'd learned a long time ago to just do as he says and not to disobey. It was better for every one if I did so. Plus even if I was unhappy it would go away eventually. At least that's what I told myself.

I answered the phone, "Hi dad, what's up?"

"What's up? Is that how you speak to the man who's keeping you employed along with your friend? TO the man who has kept a roof over your head since you were a baby?" He asked in an irritated tone.

I sighed, "Sorry father. how may I help you sir?"

He hummed, "Better. Do you mind telling me why your not at work today? I received a phone call that you were absent. What have I told you about lollygagging and not working like a responsible adult?"

I shook my head before remembering he couldn't see me. "I'm sorry father. A drunk man hit me last night and I-"

"A drunk man hit you? did you not call the cops? Don't tell me you just let him walk up to you and hit you like some kind of little pussy."

I gritted my teeth, "No father, I answered my front door after Sapnap took the pizza form him and he punched me point blank with no warning. I knocked him out but my nose was busted so I had to go to the-"

"You did WHAT! Clay Marcus Johnson, I did not raise my son to be a disrespectful ruffian! Next time you call the police understand!"

I glared at the wall. I couldn't believe this man. 'I did not raise my son' dame right he didn't he left me with my mother and abandoned us and my little sister until my mother died and then he took us in, if only to stop himself from looking like a piece of shit!

I swallowed my anger, "Yes father I'm sorry. I'll do better-"

"I better not hear of you skipping work again understand!" With that I heard the click of the phone signaling he hung up.

I slammed my fist into the side of the sofa making Patches jump from my lap and run away. I sighed and went back to mindlessly flipping through channels. After a while of that I got bored and decided to call Sapnap.

Sapnap always calmed me down after a heated conversation with my father, even if he never knew the reason or cause of my upset mood.

I picked my phone back up and dialed Sapnap's number, instead of ringing it gave me a busy signal and hung up. That's weird, he shouldn't be busy.

I kept trying to call him for a few minutes and he ended up not answering. So I just gave up.

I frowned and started scrolling through twitter again. I got curious and types in my old twitter ID. I just wanted to take a quick peak at it.

I frowned seeing all the comments and massive inbox full of people asking where I was and begging for me to come back.

I sighed, and felt bad. I was tempted to reply but stopped myself and just logged out. It hurt knowing that part of me was in the past now. Even though I loved it so much, I know I had to move on, mainly due to my father.

After a few hours Sapnap called me.

"Hey where the fuck have you been man?"

"Dream? It's me Karl. Listen I need you to meet me and George down at the jail. We need you to come vouch for Sapnap so he can get out please."

I stammered getting up and grabbing my shoes putting them on and grabbing my car keys.

"Karl... what the Fuck."

Author note: Hello everyone, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please note that this story is also on AO3 and is already at chapter 22.
