you get me so high - dnf

falling

just before anyone says anything, i do not like william gold. this story is talking about wilbur soot. i do not support anything that he has done.

recommended song for this chapter - you get me so high by the neighbourhood, 1 hour version

george pov -

shit shit shit. i was blushing, i hope he didn't notice. i cant like him. no. im straight. but god. the way he looked at me. THE WAY HE LOOKED. hes so gorgeous. he could literally be the most gorgeous man on this earth.

thats clay, who nick was talking about. and this is my first impression of him? holy fuck. he must think im weird.

its 10am now, and i check my phone and see a missed call from my sister.

OH MY GOD SHES ALIVE?

she sent me a text saying „hi george! im in the hospital, im okay dont worry. im sorry for worrying you. i hope i get out of hospital soon so i can come see you, as i was planning to. love u lots !! 💗"

i start screaming in excitement, completely forgetting that im not the only person in this house.

shit. i hear footsteps.

clay walks in and brings me cereal. holy shit hes so  beautiful.

„good morning, ive been waiting for you to wake up for a while now." he says, smiling.

i cant get a word out my mouth, i feel my face heating up again. i see nick behind him, smirking at us.

„ooooh lovebirds" he says sarcastically.

clay hits nicks cereal bowl out of his hand while rolling his eyes, and starts wheezing.

he walks closer to me, handing me the cereal while he goes to sit on his gaming chair.

„so, what brings you here, yknow, to florida?" he questions me.

i finish eating the first bite of the cereal, and reply.

„well, i originally came here to escape my parents.. they were uhm.. abusive.. but i got offered a spot in a good college, so i started going there.." i say as im tearing up, turning away trying not to embarrass myself again.

he looks at me with sympathy, and i dont even know why, but i just burst out crying in front of him. all the things ive been through suddenly come crashing back down on me.

as soon as he notices im crying, he comes to sit down next to me, placing the cereal on his desk, and gives me a really warm comforting hug.

i dont know how to describe how i felt, other than safe.

i hug him back, and i notice hes rubbing my back in circles until i calm down. he grabs my hand and does the thumb thing, i dont know how else to describe it. i loved it so much. i didnt want to let go of him, i just wanted to stay here forever.

we stay like this for a while until i start to snap back to reality and realise that he probably thinks im REALLY weird now. first, i was cuddled up to him, and now im crying to him. oh my fucking god.

i let go and cough awkwardly. he asks me if im okay and i nod.

„thanks, im sorry i dont know what happened there." i say, voice quivering.

„its completely fine! no need to apologise." he replies with the warmest smile on his face.

i decide to go take a shower as clay says its okay to use his bathroom.
