Their loud chatter filled the empty house while I was asleep. Maybe they were arguing? Maybe they were bragging? All I knew is that I couldn't fall asleep. I felt like I was the hostage and not a part of the family or team. Did it break my heart? Kinda. I mean I want to be a part of it. I was going to live here anyway. Everything was still muffled.

I pushed my hand against Dream's hoodie and tugged on it. Sleep begged me to come back. It drowned me in a weakness. Once I built up enough courage, I made my way out of the room and to what they call 'Dream's office'.

I took one last deep breath and walked in. They all stared at me. I just made my way over to Dream. I sat next to dream while debating if I should have done this in my head.

He was about to react or shout but he didn't. He saw how tired I was and dicided to ignore me.

Dream POV:

They came into the room. Everything was now silent. They sat next to me and rested their head against me. I would've shouted at them for doing that and also entering my office without permission, but they were practically asleep. Plus, they were still wearing my hoodie.

They were sleeping again. We can't blame them. It was a restless night. We must have woken them up with our loud chatter. Due to them in the room, we spoke more quietly. We didn't want to wake them up since we already did once.

Small tears started to form in their eyes. Questions through my head. Why were they crying? Was it because of us?

Y/N POV:

Without knowing, tears dripped from my face and onto Dream's hoodie that I wore. I didn't knew why I was crying. it might be due to old memories.

I open my eyes to the best of my abilities to see three concerned faces. my head was prompted onto a wall. My body shook violently. More muffled shouting was heard as they were calling someone I think? I wanted to hide. I didn't want to made them worry. This was such a mistake. I'm so dumb. so fucking dumb.

Maybe my parents were right.

I was the mistake.

Then why did these people in this world make me believe otherwise? So many questions ran through my head as someone entered the room. Salty tears covered my cornea. This made everything blurry. Yet I still made out someone at the door frame.

"Eret?"
I spoke. I smiled before putting my hood up. I was about to fall asleep. Might as well make it my own arms that I fall asleep in.

This isn't some kind of Disney story where they don't support gay people and they are homophobic. This is real life. In this story, you get hurt. Like badly. You can't rewind things and nothing goes your way. A prince can't save you when you're in trouble. You don't have fairies or evil stepmothers to ruin or help your life. You have bigger problems that you need to solve yourself. I'm not in a story where there is a happy ending. Not anymore at least...

My ears focused on the only sound in the room as I groaned. A screeching beep. It was irritating me a lot. I shifted until I was fully awake and out of bed. What happened again? Was that all a dream? Many questions filled my head again. I tried opening the door in my room, but it was locked. I looked at the clock that made the beeping noise. It was 6am.

Usually the Dream Team would be awake, but they weren't today. Since I was bored and locked in my room, I sent a letter to Tubbo. I just asked about Tommy and how everyone else was. Now I just needed to wait for their reply. Who knows how long it will take.

I stare out the window (like any highschool main character in anime) and wait. I hope it got to Tubbo safely. The others might get curious and open it. That is what worried me.

Not long after, there was a reply. That was surprising. Usually they weren't awake or Tubbo would take awhile to reply. This letter wasn't from Tubbo...We would always use a little seal to lock the notes, this one didn't have it. Was it urgent? I open it rapidly. It was none other then Wilbur.

How annoying. I didn't need him to be interfering with our messages and getting me or Tubbo in trouble. But why would he just send me a letter and not tell Dream or get Tubbo in trouble or something.

Hello. This should be Y/N. I am here to inform you about an upcoming event. I will also need to say that I did not interfere with your letter to Tubbo. I just gave him the letter. Anyways, I hope deeply that you will be able to come to our Masquerade Ball before the election. Make sure you wear a mask.

Yours truly,
~Wilbur~

Beyond the letter showed more information about the party. The election would be slightly delayed for the Ball. It was still around the corner. The original day of the election was now replaced with the Ball. Only the day after the Ball would be the day the election was held.

To my surprise, the door unlocked. There stood a man with brown hair. He wore a 'feminine' outfit that was covered with an elegant red cape. The last detail of his clothing sat on the bridge of his nose. She looked different from when I last saw her. I almost didn't recognise them. His sunglasses gave it away.

"Eret?"
"The one and only." He chuckled a bit and then sat on my bed. I walked over to sit beside him. There was a lot of tension between us. Even a touch could burn someone because of the tension. I just wanted to be friends again. But something is keeping me away.

We sat there talking about random shit. Then the thought of the Masquerade Ball filled my head. Before he left, I told him about it to tell the others.

***

What was I going to do with my life? I just lay in bed by myself, contemplating about life again while the door was locked again. I didn't want to do something really stupid again.

Being locked in this room was better than the first one. Back in the 'real world' I was stuck in with plain grey walls. Nothing was in the room but a chair. Most of the time, I would think of suicide there. I just wanted to escape from them. But now I was happy-or at least I think I am.

Of course I could never let go of those thoughts in the back of my head. Just in case this place is a dream and I needed to wake up in that place again. It hurt me to even think about this place being a dream. I didn't want to leave everyone here. I grew so much friendship with them. Just for them to be an imagination! I didn't want to go back! Not again at least. Those thoughts corrupted my head. Yet, those were all the ones that I had when I was with those people.

***

Time flew without me even knowing. It was now the early morning. The Ball would start when it strikes 12pm. It would last until the next day. My door was unlocked this time, so I was free to walk around and have breakfast. I just got my clothes ready for the Ball.
