"Huh," Nick said. "Let's go talk to Clay and see what happened?"
-
Karl ran ahead of his boyfriend. He came up behind Clay and came to a stop. "What the honk just happened!?"
Clay jumped and whirled around, panicking until he noticed it was Karl. "I-I don't know. He's mad at me, I guess I just f***ed up again. I'm being an annoying a**hole. That's all." -
"No, Clay," Nick said, shaking his head. "George is just going through a tough time right now-"
George glanced back, seeing the three talking. He frowned, starting to walk back. -
"OKAY!? I KEEP MAKING IT WORSE!" Clay yelled in frustration.
Karl frowned and glanced over at Nick. 'What now?' He mouthed -
"No, you're just trying to help," Nick assured him. "You were the same when I tried to help you, remember?"
-
Clay physically recoiled at the memories for the second or third time today. 'Y-Yeah," He said weakly.
-
"So we'll give him a bit of slack, okay?" Nick said. "He's not actually mad at you, he's really just frustrated with himself."
-
"But I still can't HELP- It's- I- It physically hurts to see him this way. I feel his damn pain. He deserved so much better than that. He's AMAZING, KIND, he's f***ing PERFECT! And the motherf***er goes and cheats like that!? It's F***ED UP!" Clay said as he buried his head in his hands. "And I can't take his pain away. It f***ing kills me-"
-
"Clay, we know," Nick said quietly. "You don't need to be able to take his pain away to help. You don't know, you might be helping him just by being there."
-
"But it feels like I'm making this worse!" Clay said sadly.
Karl shook his head. "You're not making anything worse. It takes time, Dream." -
"Exactly-" Nick said, looking over to Karl.
-
Clay nodded numbly.
Karl sighed, walked over, and gave his friend a hug. "You're helping more than you know." -
George furrowed his eyebrows, watching Karl hug his friend.
Nick nodded. -
Clay sighed and hugged Karl back. "Thank guys, I'm sorry." He wasn't fully convinced, but he tried to sound optimistic.
-
"Don't be, you have a reason," Nick, glancing over to the ocean, only to see George standing a ways away. "Oh- let's go join Gogy-"
