I'm Only Dreaming

Chapter 1

-George-
I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. I didn't want to get up but I suppose I didn't have a choice. I felt the sunlight on my face as I sat up. I slammed my fist on the off button on my alarm. I haven't showered in three days so I decided I should do that. I walked downstairs and saw my roommate, Jason. He wasn't the nicest guy so we didn't talk much. He had made food. Pancakes and orange juice. I cringed at the thought of drinking orange juice. I hated that stuff.

"Hey," I announced myself, since he didn't see me yet.

"Hey, I made food you can have some if you want. I only made it because Trish is coming over," he announced.

Trish is his annoying girlfriend. She always flirted with me when he wasn't around. It wasn't my place to tell him though. I didn't want him to accuse me of lying and hate me more that be already did.

I realized I was dozing off in thought. "Oh, um... Thanks I'm not really hungry," I said, truthfully. I haven't been hungry lately. "I'm gonna take a shower, if you don't mind?" I asked.

"Sure, I took one last night so I'm good."

I nod and start walking upstairs. I grabbed my towel, clothes, and speaker. I always listen to music in the shower. Just then I felt a vibrate. I got a message. It was from Bad on the group chat.

DREAM TEAM
~Darrel~ Heyyy, you guys wanna hop on the server?

Just then dream responds.

~Clay😳🤓~ I got nothen better to dooooooo

I chuckled at what I named him in my contacts. No one else said anything.

~George~ in a bit I have to shower.

I shut my phone off. Turning on my music while I waited for my shower to warm up. It finally did.

🎶And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love
You mess with the truth And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind🎶

I found myself hearing the lyrics to the song On My Mind. I never really listened to the song although I've heard it before. My mind started to wonder to somebody who I shouldn't think about. The lyrics are relatable I thought to myself. I shook my head that the thought and washed my hair. Once I finished my shower I got out and dried off. I forgot my clothes in my room. I walked through the house in only a towel. I saw Jason smirk at me which I found weird but brushed off.

I finished changing and went to log into minecraft. I checked my phone and they said they were gonna start on the server without me. I got on and as soon as I did everyone came running over to me. Dream called me and I answered.

"Hey Georgie," he said.

I blushed a bit before saying "uh, hey Dream."

I only blushed because Dream called me Georgie. I find it weird.

We all played for a bit and they everyone else left. "George?" Dream asked.

"Yeah?"

"What do you think about playing tomorrow, me, you, and Sap?" He asked cautiously asked.

I blushed a bit. "Uh yeah, any plans in mind?"

"Yeah, maybe we could do a manhunt except I'm the hunter. Although I basically am anyway." He said the last part playfully. He was usually runner, he was just better than me so it was like he was the hunter.

I rolled my eyes "Sure you are Dream. Anyways yeah I got nothing else planned so I guess we could do that. I'll probably lose."

He laughed "Yeah most likely. I'm way better than you."

Ouch that kinda hurted. I laughed it off.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow then. Bye Georgie!" Then a beep.

Just like that, I was alone again. With only my thoughts to comfort me. Except they didn't... They made everything worse. Nobody knew this but I suffered from anxiety and depression. I didn't want to tell anyone, especially Dream.

I suppose I should go to bed even though I dread sleeping. I usually had nightmares. It's already 10pm. Not too late but I get tired a lot. I sigh and shut down Minecraft. My cat is curled up at the foot of my bed. She sleeps a lot, just like me. I put some food in her bowl and she still had water so I plopped down on my bed. My pillow was soft, my blankets were so warm but I still felt so out of place in my own bed. I started thinking and eventually I started drifting off to sleep.
