George woke up and Clay wasn't next to him,

George groaned sitting up, he dragged himself out the bed and walked down the stairs slowly

the windows was enough to let light in but the main lights were still on anyway

George stood near the bottom and listened

"So you and George in the same bed last night" Nick smirked

"Shut up, he needed someone, i don't see you offering" Clay folded his arms

"He never came to me, he went to lover boy" Nick laughed

"Your so annoying" Clay sighed

"Morning" George walked into the kitchen finally,

"Hey georgie" clay smiled

George walked right into clays chest

Nick faked gagging in the background

"You okay this morning?" Clay whispered, George nodded

"Ahem!" Nick coughed,

"Sorry" George backed away, thinking he did something wrong,

"i'm gonna go to my room." George muttered walking uo the stairs, oatches following him,

Before george could close his door his head began spinning

He hadn't drank anything in days

He wobbled to his door and shouted down the stairs, or he tried to

"Cl-Clay?!"

"Clay, can i have some water?!!" George tried yelling before he stepped back from a wave of dizziness falling to his floor sitting down

Patches hopped onto his lap rubbing herself against him, meowing.

Clay wasn't coming

Patches kept meowing louder,

Finally she ran out of georges room and downstairs,

she meowed at clays feet "Hey honey, what's up?"

Patches walked up the stairs meowing

Clay gave Nick a confused look as they both walked upstairs

George was sat on his floor, his lights were on but he couldn't see anything,

His wave of dizziness caused flashbacks, and the start of a panic attack

"George?" Clay rushed in once patches led both boys to george

Nick rushed in also,

"I cant see you.. where are you.." George pahicked

"We are here george.." Nick said moving closer

"C-Clay?" George whispered

"I'm here, nick turn his LEDs to white" Clay said,

Nick nodded getting georges remit setting the color to white

"George what's going on," Clay said sitting next to the smaller boy,

"I- uhm.." George said his breath picking up,

"Hey, calm down, breathe with me" Clay said inhaling and exhaling

Patches meowed quietly and lent against georges chest

Georges breath began slowing and calming down,

Georges vision was becoming less dark as he saw Dreams Black t-shirt, he gripped dreams t-shirt hugging him tight,

"You need to tell us what's going on, we know you have Nyctophobia , but please george i know there's a full story" Clay said eyes glossy

Nick was sat listening scared to say something

"I.. uh.

When i was born i was torn away from my mother, my biological mum, and i was put into care, Foster care. It's horrible.

if i ever misbehaved, i would.. i was thrown into a pitch black room, and was hit, kicked, you name it.

One time they kicked me that hard i broke my wrist, but i didn't tell them, i made my own way to the hospital at age 6" George shakily sighed petting patches

"When i was 8 nearly 9 i was adopted, by my mum.

She realised i would breakdown when it was dark, and when i was 9 she took me to the doctors, who told her i have Nyctophobia." George put his head in his hands

"George..." Nick whispered

George picked up patches letting her down on the bed,

"I know it's 10am. but i don't wanna.. i don't wanna talk to anyone, i wanna sleep" George said clenching his fists

"okay," Dream nodded, "Also George, i don't know if you noticed; but the power is back, it has been since last night guess we thought nothing of it" Clay smiled

George lay on his bed, everything boggled his mind,

"Clay before you go, can i have water.." George whispered

Clay nodded disappearing before returning with water,

Which george happily took and downed the entire thing,

When clay returned to the room, George was fast sleep, with patches with him of course

"Poor guy" Nick said

"It makes sense why he's scared" Clay nodded

"is there anything we can do to help him?" Nick asked

"I don't think so, i think it's a matter of time and trust" Clay sighed

"You really care about him don't you.." Nick said

"Yeah.. Yeah i really do.." Clay swallowed.
