George's POV~~~~~~~~~~

"Well...

we aren't to sure what caused it, but the nurses yesterday heard you scream. When they came to check on you they said you were shaking violently and crying. You weren't breathing properly and you were slowly suffocating your self. They tried calming you down but you weren't responding so we had to inject you so you would sleep. It gave the nurses a chance to steady your breathing. Luckily you weren't hurt or anything. But you did give most of the floor a panic"

I felt my face heat up from embarrassment as she started writing things on my clipboard. I got the memory of the call I had with Dream before everything went black.

"I'm sorry" I wasn't sure what else to say. She gave me a soft chuckle before handing a small stack of sticky notes

"You should probably write back. Don't forget to take your pill's at seven. And remember to clear your lungs as well" I nodded, checking the time

I had forty minutes before my schedule started. I began reading the sticky notes from the friends I've made and one from before and after the accident from a lady that was on the other side of the floor

I replied to all of them with apologies of my outburst and promising it wouldn't happen again. I wrote to my friends to meet me where we usually hung out after our morning routines

With that Melissa had come back to the room just a minute before seven to make sure I took my pills. She soon left to check on the others, along with my sticky notes

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I looked at the Sticky notes that littered my bulletin board and desk. They were blue and a dark yellow that I've been told was green. I was going through quiet a lot of sticky notes for it being only one week into this program

I grabbed my things making sure everything was working fine before leaving to the lounge area. I passed the desk. As I passed it I saw Kayla. She smiled brightly as she saw me

"You're awake! What happened yesterday? You completely freaked out on us?"

"Umm... I don't really want to talk about it"

"Oh no it's fine. We contacted your mom and told her the situation. She came by a few minutes after but left since visiting hours were over. She said she would come by as soon as visiting hours started"

"Thanks for letting me know Kayla. I have to get going, bye"

"Bye"

We exchanged a good bye wave. I continued walking to the lounge area

"GEORGE! You almost gave us a heart attack yesterday" As soon as I walked through the lounge doors I heard Mandy scold me. I gave a shy smile

"Sorry. I didn't mean to scream so loud. Besides I was just over reacting"

"Not to be rude or anything but I dont think people who scream like they are in pain are over reacting. But I wont force you to explain what happened"

"Sorry" I grimaced at the memory. I guess I did scream like I was dying. Which technically I kinda was.. cause I couldn't breathe

"Let's just talk about something else"

With that they dropped the subject. We talked about other things. Random topics really. We talked about birthday's and they were all excited as I explained my birthday was coming soon

"No way... We need to throw the best birthday party ever" Mandy had thrown her hand up as she jumped up from her chair. It really showed how much of a child she was

"Why? You guys realize we still have the distance rule right?"

"Hey don't try to ruin your own birthday. We can keep the distance rule in mind. Trust me I can get a bunch of my friends to come over and celebrate, if its a party they are so...." She stopped talking all of a sudden. Her excited face had turned to one of confusion. Everyone was looking at something behind me

"What is it guys?" I was confused by the sudden change of atmosphere

I turned around to see the same guy that stood at the desk yesterday. My heart sank to the floor

I got up slowly as I locked eyes with him. He looked at me with soft eyes and a worried expression

"Dream?" I whispered quietly. I felt my hands shake a little

"Hi, George.... can we- can we talk?" He scratched the back of his neck nervously. I looked back at everyone and they gave me a 'its fine go' look

Without a word I walked passed him in hopes of him getting the idea. He seemed to understand as he followed close behind me. I hung my head as we reached my room

Walking in I left it open and sat down on my bed as he closed the door. He sat down at my desk. Not a word was said between us for a few minutes

The atmosphere made me uncomfortable. The unspoken words we have yet to talk about

"I didn't mean to make you panic or anything yesterday... I kind of just ran. Literally... I thought that because of how close you were to me, that it would be okay for me to come see you. I didn't think twice before ending the call and looking like a mad man running through the hall and up the stairs...

You were basically in arms reached. After all these years I finally had the chance to see you in person. And you would get to see me too... I'm sorry... I didn't mean for you to think I was mad at you or anything like that"

His voice continuedly change, from being sad to excited and happy back to worry. I was glad to hear he wasn't mad at me. I was a little worried hearing him explained how he ran

"I guess I did over react a little. Sigh. I'm... I'm sorry. I should have told you guys about my condition. I didn't plan to tell you guys like this. If anything I had always planned on never telling you guys"

"Why not? We're your friends? What ever it is you're going through we would have helped or understand if you would have to leave for some time"

"That's the problem.... I don't want your guy's is help. It will only make me feel worse than lying to you guys. I don't need help, I just wanted to be treated like anyone else. I don't want to be seem like a hold back. I don't want anyone to worry about me. I've lived with this for my whole life, everyone I have ever met have left me and I didn't want to lose you guys over this dumb disease"

I hugged my knees as I can feel my tears prickling my eyes. Slowly my vision became blurry. I could hear feet moving and soon the bed dipped. I felt him hug me. The smell of a salty ocean slowly filling my senses

Tears fell down my face as the room was quiet. I could feel his heart beat on my back as his arms wrapped tightly around me. It was a little comforting but his silence is what killed me

"I'm sorry" A small whisper was all he said and it was back to silence. But now it was a little normal

It was comforting silence as small tears left my eyes. Maybe it wasn't so bad

The comforting silence was ruined quickly as I could hear loud whispers. Within seconds my door was quickly opened with Mandy falling into my room
