You Won't Believe The False Hope

But Daddy I Love Him: Taylor Swift (The Song I was Listening to While Writing)

The days leading up to the next meeting went by fairly slowly, most of the time I didn't spend avoiding my father at the White House. Then I would spend the rest of my time at Niki's bakery. I was dreading facing the Dream Team again, the thing I hated other than people believing my father was a good person was when they thought I was weak. They thought I was weak because I let my father hit me, but what are you supposed to do in that situation? He is bigger, stronger and was someone I once thought he was a hero. A hero, a person doing the right thing to protect the people they love.

That definitely is not my father. Times like these I wish my mother was still around. Not like I really remember her, but I feel like she would help me understand what I'm feeling. That's what mothers and daughters do, maybe she would help me figure out what I should do about Wilbur and Dream... Both moments when I kissed them, I felt lonely and during and after I felt loved. Maybe that's what I want, to be loved. That's what we all want at some point in our life, Starting with our parents, then our friends and then a person we can spend the rest of our life with.

The walk to the Greater Dream SMP didn't get easier as I was still out of breath when I got there. However, I had someone waiting for me, Sapnap.

"Oh are you here to escort me?" I tease.

"Yeah, Dream didn't really like the fact you kinda walked yourself in here last time." He shrugged and we started to walk towards the meeting room.

"About last week-" I start but he cuts me off.

"You don't have to explain yourself, that was clearly a personal issue and Dream and George weren't helping,"

"Oh, thanks," I say and blush, that was sweet of him.

We walk into Dream, George and Punz discussing but turn their heads as soon as we enter. Here comes the awkwardness.

"Hello (y/N)," Punz greets.

"Hi," I say quietly. Then we get right into business.

We talked about the boarders and new building plans, but I couldn't help but feel a pair of watchful eyes on me. None of the guys brought up last week, but ever so often I would talk about Schlatt and could tell they were uncomfortable. I get it one minute I'm talking about how he hits me then talking about where we should build his throne. We were almost done, just singing the last few forms. When George decides to bring up last week, thanks man.

"So, am I the only one who is curious why you are staying around and working for your father when you could easily run away?" Sapnap punches him in the shoulder, and Punz tells him to shut up.

"Well George, you wouldn't want to leave your friends behind, also don't judge her you have no idea what she is going through," I felt an arm around my shoulder, and Dream the speaker of these words was standing there.

"Oh sorry," Clearly he was just as surprised as me, everyone was.

"Here let me walk you out," He led me out the room, his hand guiding me.

We walked to the entrance when he finally let go, I turned around to leave when I felt him grab my arm. He was gentle.

"Listen, I am so sorry about what happened last week I shouldn't have acted that way, you deserve way better. I am not good enough for you and you need someone who will treat you the way you need to be." his little speech hurt me, I knew how it felt to feel like you didn't deserve love. I didn't know that was how Dream was feeling. What he did still wasn't okay, but at least he apologized. He was the only one who ever apologized.
