The Scholarship || DREAMNOTFOUND

Chapter 22 (Dream) ✔︎

Beeeep

"hello?.. is this on right?"

"i think it is george"

"you think so sapnap?"

"well the light thingy is on so it's recording you boomer"

"shut up man—
anyways—
Hey Dream—
by the time you get this video recording i will probably be in the united states.. away from you—
but i have to leave unfortunately.. fundy isn't going to prison and he's going to be back for me and you.. and as much as i hate to admit it—

the reason you needed a heart transplant in the first place was because of me
and i'm sorry..
but i love you and i know we'll meet again someday or maybe we'll meet new people

now that you have a new heart.. enjoy all the places and sights you've always wanted to see!
*hic*
i'm really sorry for not telling you about fundy
i hope one day we'll meet again
i love you..forever"

"here george.. give me the camera—
ahem.. hey brother! it's your good pal sappy nappy here heh..
well as george said—
you needed a heart transplant
and there was only one match for you—
and that person is me.. well.. was me—
i left back to florida to see our parents to talk to them about giving you my heart if you were to ever need it

it took a while— which is why i was gone for so long and avoiding you
but i finally convinced them to let me go through with it..
i love you brother
and part of me will always be with you now
so whenever your sad— just think about how part of me is still alive within you and promise me that you'll stop crying when you do

i don't regret this decision
if anything— i regret not being there for you when you needed me most
but i hope we can move on from that

anyways
Happy Birthday Dream
i love you
please take care of me

꧁ ✔️ ꧂ Drivers License ( Slowed + Reverb )

the sound of their voices fading made my tears fall even more as i sobbed while looking at the road from my brand new car

two whole years..
and that was the first time i had heard both sapnap and georges voices

i pulled up to the beach of florida as i got out the car and took off my shoes
letting the sand in between my toes and the wind carry my dirty blonde hair
i pulled out my phone and dialed georges old number

the same voice i heard for the past two years comes up as i bit my lip holding back tears
"please leave your message at xxx-xxx-xxxx"

"hey george, it's dream—
i got my drivers license today—
just like i talked about—
i hope your excited for me, to finally drive up to your house

but.. today i drive through the suburbs
crying cause you weren't around..

you're probably with another person—
who's always making me doubt—

are they older than me?—
they're probably everything i'm insecure about"

silence fills as i began to choke on my tears

"how could i ever love someone else george..
i know we weren't perfect but i've never felt this way for no one—

i just.. can't imagine how you could be so okay.. now that we're gone—

YOU DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING WHAT YOU SAID IN THAT VIDEO TO ME"
i sobbed

"you said forever.. but i drive alone past that street"

i hung up the phone and sat looking out into the ocean
looking at the lavender sunset as the stars began to twinkle from up above
i flopped back into the sand as my tears began to fall once more

" i still fucking love you babe.. forever"

i sat back up and pulled a piece of paper from my pocket
my eyes scanning the small familiar black letters

Congratulations Dream,

You have been offered a full scholarship to "London Technology Academy"...with the scholarship we offer a full dormitory for you to stay in until your year of studying is done and you can graduate with us in the summer! You will also still have some leftover dollars to spend for yourself so you won't need to feel the pressure of getting a job...that way you can focus on your studies!

Sincerely,
LTA Staff and Principal

i sighed as i crumpled up the scholarship paper and tossed it into the ocean
watching it sink away from my sight
" i miss you sapnap..
i miss you george.. everyday"

i turned to walk back to my car
when my phone began to ring
my heart raced when i saw a familiar name on the screen— wilbur?

"Hello? Wilbur?"

"dream? hello?"

"yes wilbur i'm here!"

"dream i need you to come to london— as soon as you can it's george"

" what happened?! is he— "

"he's not okay.. he's in the hospital and he wants to see you"
wilburs voice sounded so calm.. yet sad
i choked up the urge to speak as i instantly knew something bad had happened

"you see the reason why george hasn't gotten a hold of you—
is because not long after we left—
he became sick—
and after some exams and checkups.. we discovered that he has an uncurable cancer"

my heart sunk
"no.. he doesn't wilbur—
TELL ME HE DOESN'T— "

"i'm sorry dream.. but george is on his last breathe and he wants you to be here with him—
can you please come to london as soon as possible,

george is waiting for you"
