Hey Dream
We need to talk.

I wait for a few minutes as I start up my PC. The whir that the fans make when I turn it on helps me calm down and I stop bouncing my leg so much. I look at my phone, still nothing. God damnit, Dream. I sighed, as I stand up and walk downstairs to grab something for breakfast. As I turn the corner, I'm surprised to see George standing at the island eating a pancake. I look over at the stove, then back at him, then back at the stove. He never cooks. I was very confused. I had assumed something was up, but this confirmed it. I greeted him, and grabbed some pancakes before going back up to my room.

"I'm gonna be streaming so don't come in!" I shouted down the stairs at him. It was a small lie, but what had to be done was done.

"Got it," he shouted back in reply, between mouthfuls of pancake. I giggle a bit as I walk into my room and close the door behind me.

I sit down at my set-up and look into the small mirror I have propped up next to my monitor. I smile at myself, trying to boost my self-esteem, even by just a little bit.
I looked back at my monitor and saw that Dream had finally responded.

Dream
Sorry I hadn't answered sooner.
VC?

Yeah.

A black box appeared in the middle of the screen with a green and red button along the bottom. I clicked the green button, and heard the "joined call" noise.

"Hey Teagen," Dream said. He also sounded a little off, he didn't normally type with punctuation either.

"Did something happen on George's stream last night?" I asked, jumping right into it. The line went quiet. "Answer me. I hate seeing George upset, and I know you do too." I retaliated, I realized after I had said it that I could have worded it differently, since the way I said it was rather hostile. He was still quiet. I didn't know what happened, but it must have been pretty importa-

"I'm glad you care, Teagen," he said, interrupting my train of thought. "It's good that you love him, but it's nothing you need to worry about." he ended his sentence, and I sat there dumbfounded. Was I not allowed to be worried about my own family members now? What had happened that could possibly cause both George and Clay to keep me out of the loop?

I didn't know why I was so upset, I had rarely talked to George, or anyone about my feelings and insecurities. Maybe that was why they weren't telling me. I never opened up to them, so they had no reason to trust me. I left the call, leaving Clay alone on the call and could only think of one other person to go to.

I knew that Wilbur was on George's stream for a while last night. I could have gone to Sapnap, but I didn't want to be a burden to the entire Dream Team, I knew how busy they all were. I sent Wil a DM and he called, I answered.
"Hi Tea!" he chimed, "what happened?"

I didn't normally call Wilbur if something had happened, so this was a little out of the blue.

"Do you know what happened on George's stream last night? Both he and Clay won't tell me what happened." I blurted it out as if it was the end of the world. I thought about the conversations that I had had previously with the both of them, and started to tear up.

"I didn't know something had happened, I'm so sorry Tea." Wilbur replied, concerned. Without even noticing, I suppose I had started to cry.

"Whoa , whoa are you okay?" he sounded panicked.

"I-I'm sorry," I stuttered, "I have to go." Before he had time to respond, I left the call. What is wrong with me? I got up from my desk and walked downstairs to grab a drink to calm down.

Just as I was walking back upstairs, I saw George come out of his room. My eyes went wide and I started tearing up again. I tried to book it to my room, but I ran into something, maybe a wall, maybe a door. I tried to move, but I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I stopped squirming, and stood still as I accepted the embrace. It helped me calm down, and I stopped crying. The arms let go, and I looked up to see my brother looking down at me. His eyes were stained red, and his cheeks had what looked like those small rivers you see on a window during a rainstorm. We both walked back down the stairs to the living room so I could sit down. He gave me another hug, and told me everything was okay. (A/N OKAY I SWEAR IT SOUNDS SO- AH) 

We sat there for a while, just sitting in silence. 

After what seemed like an eternity of silence, George finally spoke.

"Sapnap quit the Dream Team for a while." he said quietly, as though upset. Though, his voice had a hint of anger in it as well. I stared in shock at what he had just said. Had I heard him right? Sapnap was the last person out of the three of them that I had expected to quit. I would have asked why, but I didn't want to make the tension in the room any thicker. I didn't know what to say, after all, I wasn't good with serious conversation.
