"Seán, can you move over a bit, you're hogging the bed." A tired voice spoke. Seán's eyes crack open, his eyes casting over to the girl beside him.

"Umm, no Signe. That would be you hogging the bed...and all the blankets!" He said before she smiles a bit, Seán grabbing the blanket and pulling it over to cover him, she moves against his chest making her cheeks turn a light shade of pink. Seán's arms go around her, kissing her head. She smiles, resting her head against his chest.

"I love you, Seán." She mumbled making him smile but before he could respond, a loud beeping noise overtook them and his eyes opened up, staring at a white ceiling. He doesn't move, but his eyes soften in sorrow. 'A d-dream...of course.' He thought. The beeping now catching his attention, he grabs his phone off the nightstand, turning it off and seeing the collection of messages on his phone. His eyes looked at the time.

"9:30 am." He mumbled. He had set an alarm for himself to wake up, he planned on getting a lot of recording done before he needed to leave for Vidcon, but instead, he just lays down back day, not having the energy to get up. In his mind he was scolding himself, he knew he slacked off yesterday, staying in bed all down, only posting the videos on his channel and that's it, he promised himself he would really get sh*t down today. But it was the dream, it was putting him down.

Then his phone went off, he ignored it at first, but after a few seconds, he answered it, putting it on his ear listening to Felix.

"Hey Jack, so, I have an idea," Felix said. Seán sat up.

"What?" He mumbled.

"How about you come and record a video with me instead of moping at your place?" Felix asked. Seán gripped the phone a bit, the plastic creaking softly. He rose his hand up to rub his tired blue eyes which eventually went through his brown hair.

"I-I mean—"

"Alright! It's settled! Come over now!" Felix said.

"H-How did you...know?" Seán questioned getting a soft chuckle from Felix.

"I assumed, also because your fans have been concerned about you. They think something is up—"

"Yeah, yeah. I know about that." Seán said.

"You sure you don't want them knowing?" He asked. Seán bit his bottom lip, considering but quickly rejecting it.

"N-No, I don't w-want them to go after Signe and hurt her. I'm fine, really, I am. I just don't want her to suffer when she's upset too. She did nothing wrong." Seán said honestly. Felix was quiet for a second and spoke, agreeing.

"Yeah, I agree with that. But you are still coming over whether you like it or not." He said making Seán crack a small smile only to lose it as fast as he made it.

"You know you don't have to do this, Felix. I just want to be left alone for a while." Seán mumbled.

"You have probably been locked in that house for the past three weeks! You need to come have...social interaction since it is apparently important." Felix said making Seán chuckle.

"O-Okay, fine. I'm coming over, I just need to get dress and such." Seán said before they both hung up. Seán smiled a bit to himself. Felix and Mariza have been his biggest supporters since the breakup, they both have been checking up on him because they both know that Seán isn't doing so good, you could just tell by his YouTube performance as of late.

And Robin, his editor, has been concerned too, but he's been dealing with his own family problems lately so hasn't been able to pay attention to Seán. Which Seán is thankful for, his videos are still great it is the energy and care factor in Seán from the beginning to end of the video that has his fans a little worried. Seán, of course, assured them he's fine but they didn't believe him.

Seán slipped on a pair of jeans and a shirt, grabbing a jacket when he went into his kitchen, he stopped, dirty dishes were on almost every surface in the kitchen, filling the sink as well. He stepped back, turning around, having to take in a deep breath to swallow his emotions. His home wasn't in the best condition, it was dirty, and he knew he needed to clean it but...he didn't have the energy or care too. He went back into the kitchen, opening the fridge only to see nothing in it he can eat. He looked away, closing the door. 'I really need to buy food, I'll do that after the video with Felix.' He thought. He pulls out his phone, going to Uber.

Before he left, he tried to make himself look at least like himself, whenever he was recording something, he would basically as he calls it, put on a mask, put on a 'nothing is wrong here' mask. He left his home, locking the door and getting into an Uber (I have no idea how Uber works so work with me here). By the time he gets to Felix, he was regretting leaving his bed. Sure he loved the fresh air, but he was so tired, he gets out, paying them, and goes up to the door, knocking and having Mariza opening it. She looked at him, taken aback a bit.

"Seán, to be honest, I wasn't expecting you." She said. Seán gives her a little smile, and then hears barking, seeing a black little pug running, he smiles again, coming inside. He crouches down.

"Hey, Edgar." He said petting him, he looks around. "Maya." Maya comes running over.

"She's a little slow with her eye missing," Mariza said. Seán nods a bit.

"I know." He said petting the pug.

"Is that a Jack I hear?!" A sweetish voice yelled. Seán picked his head up a bit, looking around.

"He's recording right now." She said. Seán stood up, Mariza looked at him.

"You hungry?" She asked. He shakes his head.

"No, I'm good. Thank you though." He said. Mariza disappeared into a hallway as Seán sat on the couch. The two pugs joining him. Two minutes later Mariza comes out, hold three plastic bags.

"Here." She said putting them on the coffee table, Seán looked inside, his eyes soften and shook his head as he stood up.

"Mariza, I can buy myself groceries, you don't need to do this for me," Seán said looking at her. "I-I appreciate it but—"

"Seán, I've seen the inside of your home, don't act as you will actually go buy groceries when you don't," Mariza said as her eyes soften again making Seán stop talking and look away from her, not speaking, he was too busy swallowing his emotions back so he wouldn't break in front of her. She crosses her arms, looking at him. "I'm just trying to help you get back on your feet, Seán. If I went too far—"

"No, no. No, no." Seán interjected, touching her arms as he looked at her. "Y-You're fine. Okay? Thank you. I need to catch up on recordings anyway, so you saved me time from going out and buying stuff. I can pay you back—" She shook her head.

"No, it's fine. Free of charge." She said. He lets go of her arms. She smiles a bit. "You going to Vidcon like you said you would?" Seán didn't answer, he didn't know if he was your not. He planned on going, even told his fans he was, but the last three weeks have been rough and the worse.

"I-I don't think so. But maybe it will be good for me to leave England for a while." He said. She gives him a small smile, uncrossing her arms as Felix comes in.

"Ya look like something the cat just dragged in, Jack." He said. Seán smiles a bit.

"But I prettied myself up for you." He said jokingly.  Felix smiles.

"You need to try harder, now, ready to do this." He said.

"What are we doing?" Seán asks curiously as Felix smirks.

"Oh, you'll see."
