' You're my superstar, sweetheart '

welcome to our future.

gregory pov, dreaming

I was hounded. Monty was at one side of my, Roxy at the other. Vanny was in front of my, walking towards me. Trembling, I turn around to run, but Chica stands behind me. All I did was stare, tears beginning to stream down my face. I was giving into my inevitable fate, hoping to go down as a hero.

gregory pov, awake

My eyes shot open, hot tears were streaming down my face. I was sitting up straight, in a pool of my own disgust and sweat. My eyes held themselves open, though I was running off of 2 hours of sleeep. I look over to my nightstand, seeing my fazwatcj glow in the dim light, which was radiating from my window. I leaned over, opening to fazwatch and checking my messages.

'Seriously.' Was the only word that came to mind. I wanted to spend time with her and her friends, I hadn't left the house at all yet and I wanted to. So, I threw on a navy blue hoodie, and some sort of baggy jeans. Finally, I checked my phone instead of my watch. I was met with texts from your name.

'Since when did I have your names number," I said, beginning to sort through the messages. However, I was interrupted by your name witerally pounding her fists on my door. "Gregory are you coming with- ow that hurt!! - are you coming with my or not?!" She yelled. She was a gremlin, and I was tired, but I didn't care enough to be upset. "I'm coming idiot, let me get my shit together first." I said, and began grabbing my things —his phone, its charger, a pocket knife, and hand sanitizer.— when your name yelled again, "Hows getting your shit together going? Because I know it's taking me forever!" She called to me, and I laughed as I walked out my room. "Very funny, your name." She was beaming with joy as she saw my face, which made my heart swell, but only a little. She grabbed my hand, which made it swell maybe a little bit more. This girl had me mesmerized, and I barely knew her. She grabbed out car keys and pulled us out the door. I saw 'our' car keys because we shared a car, since I didn't exactly have one for obvious reasons. We dropped each others hands, each going to our side of the car. I was in the passenger, and she was in the drivers side. I would've listened when your name began speaking, but I suddenly was taken aback by the nature. It was so lively and colorful, so beautiful and free. It was something I hadn't even glanced at in so, so long. The sun, the greenery,even the air, though I couldn't see it, was beautiful. I suddenly felt someone gently touch my hand, and I could hear your names soft voice call out for me. I felt bad for not responding prior, so I tried to clear my voice and respond. "I'm fine, what's wrong?" I said, my voice still sounding hoarse due to me still being in awe. "I asked if you wanted to go to the park or the mall, since my friend is indecisive. " Your name said, rubbing my hand with her thumb. It brought me out of my trance, and into another. One where I was under her spell. "The park sounds fun." I said, looking into her pretty eyes. I desperately needed a reminder I wasn't dreaming. Or coffee.

your name pov

I looked to Gregory, who wasn't fully aware, and it was obvious. I assumed he needed some time to adjust, so I let go of his hand, and began driving. I adored driving, it brought me a sense of reality back, reminding me I wasn't in a game anymore, but a real life, with an important future. As I drove, the sun shined in all its familiar places of beauty, leaving light in once cloudy places. As I arrived at my friends house, I looked over to Gregory, now scrolling on his phone. I wasn't sure of how he got his phone, but that's a question you typically don't ask. My friend got into the car and immediately began talking, addressing Gregory from the start. He didn't really respond, just acknowledged her with a smile and wave. I started the car and began driving again, but at a slower pace than before. The sun was making its way to the middle of the sky, like a star navigating through space. As me and my friend talked, I felt a hand rest on my leg. I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach, as I was sensitive. I kept my eyes on the road, knowing the last thing I wanted was to kill myself in that moment. A million thought suddenly suffocated my tainted mind. 'Should I say something? Of course not I'll look stupid, but what if my friend says something, or is uncomfortable? I'm not uncomfortable. Why am I comfortable?' My brain could go on for hours, but I decided to just give it a rest, and focus on the park.
