"Hey chat." I started my stream up, "I have a small announcement to make, well it's sort of big I suppose, so clip this if you want to spread the news." My chat all seemed quite confused, many thought what I was going to say would be a joke, but they are sure in for a treat. I took a deep breath, "Alright so I've made the decision to take a break from streaming for a while until I'm back to my normal self so my content doesn't seem off. This isn't because of any of you, I love you all and all the support I receive. I'm mainly doing this because I'm fully going back to school after Christmas break and my personal life is getting affected by my streamer life."
"So for now, you all can watch my vods, check out some of my old YouTube videos, and wait till the day I come back if you want to stick around for that long." I chuckled, "Anyways, Autym signing off. I love you all so much."
Ending the stream felt like a sharp stab to the chest. This is something that I truly enjoy, now I just have to break the news to my friends, well at least the ones who weren't on watching my stream. I barely even noticed my heart was beating fast. Breaking the news to my fans probably hurt the most, almost as much as it'll hurt breaking the news to Tommy.
I opened up discord and noticed a few people were in some of the Dream SMP vcs. "Hey guys." I joined one of them. A chorus of voices greeted me including Tubbo, Jack, Wilbur, Niki, Sapnap, Karl, and George. Niki asked, "Autumn would you care to join us on the server?" "I'm sorry." I began apologizing, "I don't think I'll be on for a while." "Wait why is that?" Tubbo piped up. I explained, "I'm taking a break from streaming and social media in general. My life is getting pretty busy and stressful at the moment, but I'll be back I promise. It'll be a few months at most of me being gone." "Aww Aut we'll miss you." Wilbur fake cried into his microphone. They all said their goodbyes and I stared down at my keyboard, "Bye I love you guys so much, thank you for everything, I'll message you all here to there." I promised and hopped off of vc.
Now I'm holding my phone in hands debating whether or not to dial the certain number I usually call every night. Luckily he FaceTimed me first. "Hey Tom." I smiled as Tommy's face popped up on my screen, "Yo Autumn you gotta see this sick shirt I-" "Sorry Tommy but can we talk real quick?" I asked and he stopped, "yeah of course, what about?" "I'm taking a break from streaming." I told him and Tommy nodded, "Oh cool, yeah that's a good idea I did that once for a week and it was very refreshing." "Yeah I don't think you get what I mean." I started, "Tommy it's not exactly just streaming. I just don't have the time and my life is becoming really crazy right now so I don't know how much time I'll be able to call and talk to people, let alone stream Minecraft for my thousands of fans. I'll be back soon enough but for now this is my farewell." I finished my explanation and Tommy just stared blankly into the camera.
"But- wha- what about our daily FaceTime calls." He whined and I shook my head, "Sorry Tom, I don't know how much time I'll have for those. I'll miss them just as much as you, but you can go a few months without me right?" I joked and Tommy let out a small laugh, "Yeah I guess." "We can still text..." I shrugged and Tommy sat up, "Mhm! And I can give you weekly lore updates of the SMP!" "That's a great idea." I chuckled sadly. My name was yelled from downstairs, "Sorry Tommy I have to go." "Wait Autumn I have something to tell you." Tommy started and I frowned and heard my mother growing impatient, "I'm sorry but I really must go, can you text it to me and I'll get back to you tonight?" "Yeah." Tommy breathed out, "yeah I can."
That night at dinner I didn't speak a word to my parents. My mind was racing, did I make the right decision? Should I have waited another week or so to tell people? I wasn't really hungry so excused myself early after eating about half of my meal. I sat on my bed and texted Frey about my decision. She completely understood and I smiled to myself. Nat already knew because she's my best friend, but she and I will still be seeing each other in person quite often.
Tommy didn't leave any texts which made me curious of what he wanted to tell me. I stared at the octopus that he gave me that was sitting on my bedside table and made the decision to text him first.
THE END
