Third person POV.

Time skip: 2 weeks.

"FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! YOU PIECE OF SHIT! YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T GRAB ME"

Valorie yelled as Alex grabbed her and threw her of the map. They were playing fall guys and both of them reached the top 20. If you know, this would mean that everything Valorie worked for to get to the top 20 was now gone.

"HAHA YOU BITCH YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT I WOULD PROMISE TO THAT?"
"OH FUCK YOU"

Alex got qualified every single time until it was the last level. The game was Hex-A-Gone.

"I hope someone follows you"
"You're just petty oh my god"

Alex started cutting off half of the hexagons making all his competitors fall to the level underneath him. He was slowly jumping on to each hexagon making sure to jump at the right time, specifically before the hexagon disappears.

"1, 2, 3, and jump. 1, 2, 3, and jump"
"Can you count in your head? It's annoying. You keep saying 'won tew threy and jawmp'"
"Well I'm sorry, but we'll atleast I have techniques." Alex coughed a bit.
"Girl with no technique" and he coughed again.
"Always looses and never wins" he finally stopped coughing after his sentences.

"Shut up and try to win dumbass"
"Fine, fine, can you go 10 minutes without calling me dumbass?"
"Yeah sure gnome"
"Oh come on"

And Alex won. He cut off his last competitor which made them fall off.

"YeAh YeAh YeAh" Alex said, his voicemod taking over. Valorie started laughing, I mean who wouldn't? It was incredibly funny when Alex started using his voicemod.

Little did Valorie know that her laughing was melting Alex. He never stopped falling for her. Never, not even once during those 5 months.

But the thing that was keeping Alex from her was his guilt. He was scared that he would hurt her like he did before. While on the other hand, Valorie was dealing with commitment issues. That's the reason why she wanted to be friends with him. To see it she can commit to him, if he was worth getting hurt.

Tommy finally spoke up after being on mute for 10 minutes. He was letting the 2 talk to each other.

"Hey lovebirds, stop flirting and start the game" Tammy said dragging the L in lovebirds.

"Tommy, 1 you're not even here and 2 it's not flirting I genuinely hate him."
"Ouch mamacita"

Alex's pov:

Her laugh. It's replaying in my head. I was laughing with her but all I could hear was her laugh. She was gorgeous and I'm still falling. Not literally falling but falling like falling in love.

Those 5 months we spent away didn't do anything to me. Maybe some tears and guilt but other than that nothing. I fell for her before and I'm still falling.

And it looks like I'll never stop falling.

Valorie's Pov:

We were on both stream but he was the only live so I could see his face. He was smiling so much. His eyes were wrinkled and his cheeks were red. I bet they were red from laughing and smiling too much.

But i have to say, when he laughs or smiles on stream, he means it. He enjoys streaming, talking to fans. It was one of the reasons I had fell for him.

Was it even past tense anymore? I'm not sure but all I know right now is that he's definitely back to being a friend again.

Shit, I have a meeting tomorrow.

Back to third person pov:

"Hey quackity, I have to go" Valorie said with a smile. She knew that they
cant see her but she still puts a smile on her face.

"Oh yeah sure" Alex said, he didn't want her to go. He wanted her to be with him, laughing with him. Maybe even at him if it makes her stay.

As Valorie left the call she immediately got a formal outfit for the following meeting.

Back to Valorie's pov.

I didn't want to leave but I had to.  Managing a company while streaming is hard, but my schedule is loose so I make my free time last.

I grab a formal outfit and put it on my chair. I like getting ready early so I don't have to deal with being late. I hate being late, tried it once and never again.

I laid in bed. I had streamed atleast 5 times this 2 weeks. If I streamed normally the number would be 2 but I guess Alex being here made me stream a lot.

I take back what I said earlier. 'Was it even past tense anymore?' Yes, it's past tense. I will have him as a friend.

I'm not a vault, I open up easily. So I don't know why I'm not letting him in. Is it because he hurt me? Or is it because he's just a friend? To clarify, a childhood friend.

Im super confused right now. My head keeps on going from yes to no to maybe. And at this point I would roll a dice to figure it out. Like maybe 1-2 is yes, 3-4 is no and 5-6 is maybe. Or 1-3 is yes and 4-6 is no.

I'll ignore it. Maybe if I give it some time I'll be able to figure it out. And I will figure it out. There hasn't been a thing that didn't happen when I say I will, it will, and they will. It seems to always end up like that.

Eh, but that's just me trying to move my minds away from the topic. Which results to me talking about other random topics. LIKE this one right now. It's completely random.

God, i wish I could speedrun all of the thoughts. If that wish would come through I would be playing dudududu again and again. Like those 10 hour loops on youtube.

(Fun fact about me: I have finished a 10 hour loop of that, I use it during my tests)

EDITED
A/n: I'm so sorry everyone I am having an extreme writers block right now and I'm trying to fix the whole story up. This is my first story so I just kinda wrote without a plot.
