Chapter Text
George always thought he had a best friend.
He had, a best friend.
Someone to go to the ends of the world with, laughing all the way.
Someone who stayed.
For once in George’s life, he had someone who stayed.
Or so he thought.
“Don’t aim too high son, settle for the worst before settling for the best,” His dad would say. Gin and Tonic in hand.
The worst. Yeah, like he needed that.
Fifteen going on sixteen but looking not older than a ten-year-old.
Someone who stayed. Someone who, forget it.
He had a best friend.
Had. A. Best. Friend.
It sounds weird to him now.
It went by so fast he couldn’t even sit down to enjoy it. Enjoy the company. The warmth.
For once in George’s life, he found someone who stayed.
Someone, who stayed.
But oh, he’s being selfish now isn’t he?
“We gave you the world y’know,”
Gin and Tonic in hand.
“We gave you the world.”
But what if the world, wasn’t enough.
