He starts using his money in the wrong way and eventually runs out, seeking a job as a babysitter in a family with a very sick boy.

Fall For Me // dreamnotfound
This is the cheerleader George, football player Dream au nobody asked for... Clay "Dream" Collins is your average high school football prodigy, popular and charming. Nearly everyone at school is in love with him, most of which is from his own manipulation. George is a new transfer student that became captain of the cheerleading team. He is an optimistic boy who isn't afraid to dress feminine, and while many respect him for this, many judge him. After one eventful night at a party, Dream and George end up alone in a room, with George claiming he won't ever fall for Dream. Dream makes this his goal to change the male cheerleader's mind. How hard could it be? ----- cover art is by @pencantdraw on twitter! trigger warnings include: - alcohol/drug usage - eventual smut/spice - abuse/violence/sexual assault - eating disorder/PTSD/anxiety - self harm/suicide attempt (it's not that bad, most of the angst is in the middle chapters i promise :]) That being said, I will put any trigger warnings at the start of the chapter in which they occur. George has an eating disorder in this story so I won't always put a tw for it unless I go into detail about it, keep that in mind while reading.

I Don't Want Your Help | DreamNotFound
DreamNotFound University AU This book will be in First Person unless mentioned otherwise. George is a university student. He works in a McDonald's to pay for his college. He also needs that money to pay for the treatment of his sick mother who had a stroke in the past, resulting in full bed rest at the hospital. Dream/Clay is the son of a rich businessman. He goes to the same university as George. He has no friends except Nick (Sapnap) because people think of him as just a spoiled rich boy. Most of the girls at the university do everything to get his attention but fail every time. This is because Clay is gay but that is a secret only Nick knows. What happens when Dream goes to the McDonald's George works in? -Character Introductions In The First Chapter- Possible TWs: Hospitals, Homophobia, Mentions of Death, Trauma. I Think That's It.

Finally Free Again
Clay's life has never been easy after severe harm was caused by his drunk father. His mother can't decide anything at home and daily arguments go so far that his mother regularly escapes the house. Clay feels lost and starts blaming himself for all problems at home. Instead of asking someone for help, he decides to start starving himself to gain some control in his life. His attempt to lose weight goes so far that his weight drops dangerously low which leads to a forced hospital stay, causing a lot of traumatic experiences. No one seems to understand the very sick Clay and he starts slipping away more and more, not believing anyone who tells him he suffers from anorexia nervosa. Everything keeps escalating until a young boy with bulimia nervosa stays with him in his hospital room... Warnings: -Anorexia nervosa (hospitalisation/forced tube feeding) -Overexercising/starving (extreme weight loss) -Bulimia nervosa (purging (throwing up) -Numbers of weight (loss)/calories -Emotional (rarely physical) abuse -Bullying (abuse)Complete

Till The End
George is cancer free after a long battle full of chemotherapy and surgeries at his fourteenth. He starts living his life again, goes back to school and hangs out with his friends and family to appreciate all the small things in life as his leg starts hurting again... Clay is grieving because his mother passed away from lymphoma, a cancer type that's running in his family. With barely anyone around him who can comfort him while grieving, he also needs to deal with his severe anxiety coming from emetophobia, his extreme fear of throwing up. But then the worst thing happens... just as Clay gets diagnosed with blood cancer, George gets diagnosed for the second time with bone cancer. Clay's fear is so big that he doesn't know how to go on and George doesn't know if he can fight this battle a second time... Warnings: -Cancer (bone cancer (relapse)/blood cancer) -Suicidal thoughts/suicide attempt (short) -Bullying (only once in the end) -Throwing up (skippable) -Chemotherapy -Amputation ⚠️ Clay has emetophobia in this story and for all the people with this same phobia, I added a trigger for mentions/talk about throwing up/nausea, a trigger for nausea and one for throwing up. They are all skippable!!Complete
Scars Heal | dnf
Old story I wrote, it's cringy and probably doesn't have the best grammar, read on own risk. It's almost Dreams birthday so George decideds to go to Florida to surprise Dream, Sapnap helps with the planning and gets George there. But George's past makes it hard for him to stay there. He wants to go back to London. [I'm not comfortable with writing any smut or anything like that as it's also with Dream's updated boundaries he isn't comfortable with that so don't expect anything like that :) )Complete

Someone Like You
Clay, the most handsome boy of the school with a cocky attitude who is surrounded by his popular friend group and loads of girls. His life should only be amazing, right? Little did anyone know that the same boy was using makeup on a daily basis to hide his bruises while running away from home with tears rolling down his face. George, however, had quite the opposite life or... a way more similar life than any of them thought? After being bullied by the popular guys for years, George's self worth got so low that self harm seemed like the only way to escape the terrific reality... Just when George thought Clay's and Sapnap's lives were great, more and more secrets were revealed. Maybe Clay wasn't as happy as he seemed, maybe he was very similar to George. Just a bit too much... Warnings: -Sexual assault/implied rape (scenes not written) -Suicide attempt (car accident (severe injuries)) -Physical and emotional (child) abuse -Bullying (body shaming) -Self harm (cutting) -Disordered eating -Panic attacksComplete
