❥Warning:
Includes strong language and smut.

-GEORGE's POV-
Wind blew through my hair as I walked through the forest, smiling at the trees. As I made my way farther, I could see Dream's back facing me. I walked to him with a bigger smile then placed my hand on his back. He turned around and once he did, he transformed into Hunter. I gasped then Hunter grabbed me by the throat and threw me down on the ground.

Once I hit the floor, I saw I was on the cold concrete of the grey room. My eyes trailed to the puddle of blood next to me. My heart dropped as my breathing picked up. I felt Hunter grab my throat tightly again as he slammed my head with brute force against the cold concrete.

•••••

I gasped awake as I shot up. I looked to my left quickly to see Dream fast asleep. I frowned as tears formed in my eyes. I shook my head then slowly stood up then left the room. I went to the living room and sat down on the couch while holding myself.

I shut my eyes as I started breathing heavily, holding myself tighter.

"He's safe in his room...he's safe in his room..." I kept repeating in my head.

BAD:
"George?"

I opened my eyes to see Bad standing across from me in the living room. He frowned as he walked closer to me.

BAD:
"Are you okay?"

I wanted to say yes just so I didn't have another person worrying about me, but it was Bad. I didn't wanna lie to him.

GEORGE:
"No..." I said quietly while lowering my head to my lap.

He sat down on the couch next to me.

BAD:
"What's going on?"

I took a deep breath while raising my head.

GEORGE:
"Did they tell you?"

BAD:
"Tell me what?"

GEORGE:
"Everything that's happened these past few months."

BAD:
"No...I knew something happened but I didn't want to pressure you guys to tell me. I figured you would if you wanted me knowing."

I frowned at him as more guilt was placed on my shoulders.

GEORGE:
"I'm sorry we haven't told you..."

BAD:
"It's okay." He smiled, "Whatever it is, you guys are strong enough to handle it."

I lightly smiled then shut my eyes, leaning my head down.

GEORGE:
"It's not good..." I said quietly.

BAD:
"But everything will be, eventually. It always is."

I sighed while keeping my gaze on my lap.

GEORGE:
"I just don't want anyone worrying about me anymore..." I mumbled.

BAD:
"Well, people worry cause they love you." He smiled with a shrug, "I think it's pretty great to be loved."

I frowned then after a few moments of silence, I spoke.

GEORGE:
"Dream had a stalker..." I said quietly as my jaw clenched.

His eyes widened as he frowned.

GEORGE:
"He wanted Dream for himself and he wanted me out of the picture..." I shook my head as I kept my gaze at the floor, "He beat me up so badly...that I lost my memory..."

Bad immediately hugged me. I sighed then hugged him back.

GEORGE:
"It took me what felt like forever to get it back and once I did, he went after Sapnap then...he kidnapped him and...then he shot Dream..." I said quietly, almost as a whisper.
