George POV
____________________________
I knew that also wasn't a good idea but it was one shot. What could possibly go wrong?
____________________________
It was twenty minutes after my first shot and half the bottle was gone. I didn't mean for that to happen. How did that happen?
I looked at my phone. Oh shit. Daniel been texting me.

George I miss you
Please reply.
I still love you George
I shouldn't have made you choose
I'm sorry
Oh stop
George we were together for 8 months
I can't just stop
I loved you
I still love you
I want you George and I'm prepared to fight for you
Daniel stop
I'm with dream now
Or maybe I'm not
I don't know
You're together?
You moved on that quick??
What do you mean you don't know?
Just come home, George.
No.
Please
Still no.
Dream could never love you the way I do.
I don't want him to.
Your love was difficult.
It was fragile.
Easily pursuaded.
I'm not fragile.
I didn't say that.
You're just too quick to love.
Other people, I mean.
And I'm too quick to forgive sometimes.
It was one time George.
I never saw him again I swear.
Okay.
Im sorry.
You fucked another guy 6 months into our relationship.
I should've left there and then.
But I stayed.
And you still thought I'd choose you over dream
You're such a dick.
What can i do to make it better?
I'll do anything.
You can fuck off.

I couldnt bring myself to do it.
I just left it.
I hadn't told dream or sapnap any of that. They didn't need to know. And they'd probably try and tell me what's best for me and I just didn't want to deal with it.
I basically threw myself at Daniel, trying to mask my feelings for dream. I did eventually fall in love. I loved him. Whole heartedly. Until he cheated on me. Then I became distant. Almost hostile. He apologised and spoilt me constantly. Trying to make it up to me.
I almost forgot about the whole "I got cheated on" thing. I thought he'd changed.
I was wrong.
Actually, now I think about it, I didn't tell anyone. At all. I just completely pretended like it didn't happen. Why? I dont know. Daniel seemed like such a good guy I guess I just didn't believe it. I didn't want to believe it.
I decided to stand up for the first time in two hours. Not a good idea. I slumped straight to the floor, my body heavy and tired.
I crawled onto the sofa, wrapping myself in the countless blankets. I couldn't stop my eyes from falling shut.
Dream POV
I was ready to see George again. I'd talked everything over with Sapnap. It was a slow and extensive conversation. I'd left George alone for four and a half hours. We got here at at 9:30 am and it's currently 1pm.
We talked about Noah. What he did. How I felt. And why I felt so uncomfortable kissing George then. It's not George. It's the kissing part. It reminds me of Noah and its terrifying.
I walked downstairs. Sapnap nodded at me and headed to his room. Me and George needed to have this conversation alone.
I walked down to the kitchen and I saw a half empty bottle of gin on the counter, George's sweater on the floor. The whole room reeked of alcohol.
"Oh George.." he was passed out on the sofa. He was drooling and his cheeks were stained with tears.
I picked him up, one arm supporting his head and the other his legs. He didn't stir at all. I brought him upstairs to my room and layed him on the bed, tucking the covers in around him.
I went back downstairs and cleaned the side, putting the gin away. I took George's sweater and threw that in the wash. I opened a couple windows to try get some fresh air in.
George must be so confused right now. I wanted to explain. But I couldn't. He shouldn't have drank but I think I understand why he did. I mean I did the same thing. Everything is easier to forget when you can't think straight.
I picked up his phone. My only intention was to bring it to him.
But it happend to be unlocked.
I shouldn't look.
But I did.
It was a bunch of messages from Daniel.
New ones he hadn't read.

George you dont really want that
I know you george
You need me
You don't need him
You don't really want him
I can see you're reading my messages
Answer me
_____________________________________
Of course George wasn't reading them, I was. I scrolled up. I read all their messages from today. I shouldn't have.
There were so many. He was talking about how much better he was then me. He was trying to convince George not to love me.
Wait? What the fuck was this? "It was one time George. I never saw him again."
This son of a bitch cheated on George.
Why didn't George tell me?
I was still his best friend. I wouldve been there for him. I would've tried at least.
That explains why he was so quick to leave earlier. That's why he assumed the worst. Oh George.
George says we're together which means he still wants this. Right? I still want this. I just need time. For now.
I was climbing the stairs when I heard awful noises coming from my bathroom. Someone was throwing up and my bets were on George.
Sure enough, I walked in and saw George keeled over the toilet. His stomach heaving and his eyes red.
I threw his phone on the bed and placed myself next to him. One hand on his back, rubbing in circular moments. The other, I reached for his hand and I held it tight. We didn't say a word until George seemed to have finished throwing up.
"I'm sorry I ran off like that George."
"It was understandable. I'm sorry I drank. And I'm sorry you have to deal with me when I'm like this. It was just one shot I swear."
I just laughed at him.
"George, half the bottle was gone."
"Well it wasn't me so you should probably investigate that."
I sighed.
"George I need to talk a few things over with you if that's okay?."
"Always. But can I please get a glass of water first?"
"Yeah go sit on the bed I'll get you some water."
"I can do it-"
"George you can barely walk."
"Okay, okay." I helped george to my bed and I went downstairs for the 20th time today.
George POV
My head is so fuzzy. I flipped my phone over and there was message after message from Daniel. I threw my phone to the other side of the bed and buried my face in my hands.
I heard a knock at the door and I heard sapnap say, "Can I come in?"
"Yeah, sure."
"You went a bit crazy on the gin didn't you?" He chuckled.
"Don't remind me."
"Have you and dream had a talk yet?"
"No."
"Ah okay. I'll go."
"Sapnap?"
"Yeah, George?"
"I'm scared."
"Dont be. You'll be fine."
I just nodded.
That gave me no reassurance whatsoever.
Dream wandered back in holding a glass. I tried to read his face, any signs of worry. Any signs that he was about to call everything off and return to the label of 'friends' we both hated using.
He took a deep breath.
"George. Will you be my boyfriend?"
