GEORGE'S POV

After I left the dorms I got in my car and drove to my mom's. There was no way I was going to stay with Dream. I threw my bag in the passenger's seat and got in the car with tears rolling down my face. I had no music on, no distractions. I sped through the small town and pulled up to my mom's house.

I shut off my car and grabbed my bag. I took a deep breath before I got out and walked up to her door. I knocked three times before someone answered the door. It was my mom. "Oh! What are you doing here?" I dropped my bag somewhere on the floor and threw my arms around her.

"Honey, what happened?" She spoke softly. I cried. "I broke up with Dream." She pulled away from the hug and looked at me with worried eyes. "What did he do?" She held me in her hands. "I found out he dated a guy as a joke." More tears streamed down my face. "I didn't want us to be a joke, Mom, but I couldn't do it. Mark broke me, Mom. I don't think I will find love again." She let go of me and closed the front door. I picked up my bag and held it close to me. She walked in front of me and spoke calmly.

"George, you are not broken. You might feel like that right now, but you haven't lost me, or your siblings. Being broken is when you have lost everything, you still have so many people, honey. You will find love somewhere. What Dream did is wrong, but you should let him explain. He loves you, George, I saw it in his eyes the moment he first came here. Don't let him go." I looked away from her stare. I love Dream, and nothing will change that. He probably won't come back though, so there's no point in trying to get him back. I can't have him back.

I looked at my mom again and shook my head. "I can't, mom. There's no way he will want me back after what I said to him." I saw my little sister come down the stairs. I wiped my eyes fast. "If he doesn't come around and want to explain to you what happened, then he isn't worth your time, George." I nodded. She was right. Maybe he would come around.

"Can I stay here for a bit?" I sniffled. "Of course you can." She nodded. "Take as much time as you need." I thanked her and began walking to the stairs. Lilly was standing there, looking at me and my red, puffy face.

"Did something happen, Gogy?" I shook my head and put my hand in her hair. "Don't worry about it, Snowflake." And then I walked up the stairs without another word. I didn't know which room to choose. Both of them had memories I didn't feel like remembering. I looked at my little brother's door walked up to it and knocked.

He opened the door within a few seconds and looked at me. He smiled for a second and then his face dropped. "Are you ok, Gogy?" He walked up to me and hugged me. "Can I stay with you tonight?" I asked. I wanted to make sure it was ok with him because I didn't want to cross his boundaries. "Yes." He grinned and let me into his room.

I walked over to his bed and set my bag down. I looked around his room. It was a lot different than I remembered. He had a full-size bed, a desk with a PC, a massive box filled with toys, and a closet with all of his clothes. I realized that he's getting older now, but it makes me sad to see that he's growing too fast.

"Do you like it?" He pointed to his PC. I looked at it and nodded. "It's awesome, Cam." He had a giant smile on his face. "Me and Lilly got to pick out stuff we wanted, and Mom got it for us." I sat down on his bed. "Oh yeah?" I said. "That's fun." He jumped onto the bed by me and nodded.

"It's not as cool as yours, but I still love it." I remembered that I had something I wanted to give him when he was older, and I think it's the perfect time now. "Hey, I want to give you something, but you have to follow me." He hopped up from his bed and nodded. "Ok!" I stood up and walked out the door. I walked down the hall to my room and opened the door. I tried not to think of the memories as I went into the closet and grabbed a shoebox from the shelf.
