"In this video, I try to speed run Minecraft while my friend tries to stop me."

It had been two weeks since George had arrived back in the UK. He had really been missing his friends, and felt almost like part of him was left behind in the states.

George had still been recording with Dream and Sapnap, but it wasn't nearly as fun as it had been while they were all together. But either way, George knew he had to get used to being alone once again. At least I have Cat, he thought. He had gone to visit his mom a few times since he returned to try to mend their relationship. So far, he had been fairly successful. They would sit and talk about what had changed in the year since they have seen each other. Not much had happened to his mom, but George had experienced a lot.

"Ugh, I always lose these," George huffed.

"*wheeze* You win sometimes," Dream managed to spit out between his giggles.

George sighed. He didn't like losing that much, but he really like hearing Dream's voice. It almost felt like here was there with him. But sadly, whenever he opened his eyes, George was reminded that he was, once again, alone in his cold apartment in a city where he only had his mom.

"George?"

"Hmm?" George asked, snapping out of his thoughts.

"I asked if you wanted to code the next plugin for me."

"Oh. Yeah, I can do that," George replied.

"Are you okay George? You've been zoning out a lot lately."

"I think I'm just tired," George lied. He knew that his lack of concentration was all of the thoughts swirling through his head. But he knew his friend was dealing with his own problems, so he decided not to bother Dream with them.

"How have things been going with your mom?" Dream asked. George had told him about his visits and that he and his mom had been catching up and talking lately.

"Pretty good, actually. She really wants to meet you and Sap now," George said with a giggle.

This made Dream smile a little. "Well, I may just have to come meet her sometime."

George sighed. "It feels like it has been a lot more than 2 weeks."

"It sure does."

To try and change the topic, George said, "So, what kind of plug in did you want?"

"Well, I was thinking. We could change some of the properties of the game, like water is like lava, lava is like water, stuff like that."

"I like that idea. I'll try to start something tonight."

"Thank you Georgie, your the best."

George smiled as he ended the discord call. He went ahead and decided to go ahead and start working on the plugin right now. Around the 10th line of code, he decided he would go ahead and get some dinner. He hadn't really gone to the store since he had gotten back, so he settled for boxed macaroni and cheese. He went ahead and started boiling the water and poured in the noodles.

He was carrying his bowl over to his table when he heard a knock on his door. He decided to just take his macaroni with him. When he opened the door, he began to have flash backs to that day that he tried so hard to forget. The people standing at his door were police officers. He was reliving his nightmares mmmm that were fresh wounds from less than a year ago. The officers were speaking, but George couldn't here their voices over the pounding in his head. They didn't even have to speak for George to know why they were here.

Someone he loved had just died.
