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

We quickly separated a warm sensation on my face

"Mandy!" It wasn't that loud but it made her flinch as she got up

"You're dreaming. Oooo~" And with that she sped walked away to her room. Kayla was shaking her head, standing on the right side of the door. Max was standing outside of his room, in front of mine, trying not to die of laughter. Andrew stood on the left side outside of his room that was next to Max's. An amused look on his face

"Mandy was just wondering why a and i quote 'hot guy' came to see you. And it seems she got her answer"

"I would take it as a compliment as she is gay" Max piped in with a smile

"She wouldn't stop bugging us to see what was going on with you and this guy. But now that that's over im going to sleep" With that Andrew spun around and into his room, closing his door as he disappeared

"Yeah, don't worry though she wouldn't tell us what you guys were saying. I hope to get a sticky note all about it later" Max waved goodbye, with a grin he closed his door

"I'm sorry about all of them. I came to make sure they kept their distance. Have you run out of any pill's yet? I'm doing a refill run today"

"No i haven't yet but thanks. Also..." I looked back at Clay for a second before whispering something in Kayla's ear

"do you think i can go to the gardens with Clay?"

"Hmm. Depends how long. You still have a schedule to follow"

"like an hour tops"

"Alright fine but you need to remember distance with other patients"

"I will"

I quickly grabbed my bag and phone. Making sure i had everything. I grabbed Clay's wrist and dragged him through the halls. Speeding walking my way around the hospital to the gardens.

"Where are we going?"

"We've got about an hour before I have something to do. So, im taking you to the gardens. It looks really pretty" I replied. Once we got off the elevator I continued to walk around while holding his wrist. Weaving through patients and guest we finally reached the gardens

"Isn't it pretty?" I said a little out of breathe. I coughed a little, thinking about it now i probably should have just walked. I did by best to suppress any more coughs

We walked around the garden, talking about anything and everything. It was quiet fun. I tried guessing the colors of the flowers as Clay continued to laugh at every single one I've gotten wrong. I laughed along knowing i couldn't stay mad at him poking fun of me for not being able to tell the difference of one color to another

It was nice to finally hang out and talk in person. I've finally gotten the chance to see a face with the voice I've gotten so used to hearing through a head set

"Do you want to go somewhere? I would think you would jump at the opportunity to go to the harry potter world here"

"Yeah, I've always wanted to go visit it. A bunch of other places here in America too sadly, I'm not allowed to. I have a schedule to follow here and i can't exactly leave and do it somewhere else. I'm monitored here almost every hour. What i wouldn't give to go anywhere in America in general"

I sigh escaped my lips as i thought about. Although i got to see Clay, it wasn't the way i imagined it. I wont be able to go see his house or have a sleep over his house with Sapnap and Bad

Not every wish of mine came true the way i wanted or planned. But then again, has anyone's?

"Well, your friends were talking about your birthday earlier. Don't you think they would let it slide for one day?"

"I doubt it, the program is meant to help get data about our process. If I don't follow the rules of the program then I'm just giving them bad data, and then what's stopping them from sending me back to England?"

"I still think its stupid"

"Yeah"

A sad smile on my face as we slowly walked back to the entrance of the garden. My phone rang showing my alarm. I had five minutes to make it back to my room

" shit"

"What is it?"

"I have to head back to my room before check-up but i only have like five minutes. If i run I'm going to stop breathing by the time i get there"

"Then lets go"

"But how- DREAM"
He picked me up bridal style and started running through the halls. I held onto his sweater in a panic as we nearly dodged patients and visitors

I could feel the vibration of his laugh as he continued running. We entered the elevator, he wouldn't put me down even after i said i would be fine. A random person in the elevator who had witnessed him carrying me in began to laugh

It caused heat to rise to my face. I buried my face at the crook of his neck from embarrassment

"i hate you" I mumbled. He laughed at my embarrassment. Once we reached my floor he started running again. Once we reached my room he finally put me down. He laughed as i punched his arm

"Hey at least we made it didn't we?" He chuckled as i checked the time

"Maybe this time but im still mad you didn't put me down in the elevator"

"But what's the point if i was going to carry you to your room once we reached the floor"

"Whatever"

playfully rolling my eyes as Melissa entered my room

"George, for a second i thought you were hurt. Clay I'm sorry to say but George has to be somewhere, you're free to wait in the lounge area if you want" Melissa politelty said. He nodded understand. He waved good bye as did I. Melissa explained to me that the doctor needed to talk to all of us in the program

She showed me to the meeting room they had set up for us. Everyone was already sitting there, a lot of distance between themselves. I sat down in the only other empty seat

Soon the doctor appeared

"I'm sorry guys.. We had planned to have this program run for about two months or more if we had enough funds to keep it going that long, for better results in the program. Sadly, funds have been cut short for the program. There's certain people saying that this was a waste of time and a waste of resources

So instead of waiting last minute, ive decided to tell you guys now. With the funds we have left we will only be able to get about a months worth of data. I'm sorry"

With those final words he left us alone to let it sit

A month

just a month left before my birthday, and the programs cutting short

which means....

I'll be busy packing my thing's on my birthday...
