Stream went on for a long time. Well, it seemed like a long time to me.  But, an upside is that I got to know the Crew a little better. 

I discovered that Snake didn't talk much on stream but chose his moments well, I also discovered that apart from Cheyenne, the rest of the Crew streamed too. Russ and Jund's voices were sometimes similar but I could distinguish them okay. I found out that Jund had an obsession with the game Dark Souls and was extremely blunt when he spoke to anyone and that Cry and Russ were really good friends, Russ being an expert at making Cry laugh. 

I also learnt that this stream was really just them hanging out. Yup, just chilling while thousands of people watched, like that's not scary at all. 

And thing is, it wasn't. Apart from the questions from Cheyenne coming from chat, it seemed like I was just hanging out with a bunch of people. 

Cause I was a weakling, I didn't make it through the whole stream.  As I was fighting to stay awake and losing,  I faintly hear Cry say "Alright, five minute break guys, I have to put Echo to bed, she fell asleep"

"No," I mumbled, "I'm awake"

"Echo, your eyes are closed."

"Well, I don't use them, now do I, why should they be open?"

"Echo..." He said patronizingly.

"Don't 'Echo' me..'M fine, now shush," I said, curling farther into my blanket.

Safe to say I was out like a light in the next five minutes, not before hearing the faint goodnights of everyone.

I woke up to Cry's voice talking to what seemed to be no one. 

"Dude, I know I said I'd do it for your channel but I don't have the time."He paused.

Oh, it was a phone call.

"I have a kid to take care of."

"Yes, I'm serious.  No, she's not mine. Well, not biologically. " His voice suddenly softened as he said "Her name's Echo."

I don't know why, but hearing that softness in his voice at the mention of me, hearing how much he cared just by his tone made me smile and get a bit teary eyed.   I quickly wiped my eyes and continued listening.

Suddenly he laughed and his voice became mocking and sarcastic, "Oh, yeah, Felix of course she wants to meet you, she's been begging me for days to call you so she can talk to the amazing Pewdiepie."

You have got to be shitting me, I thought.

I heard Cry approach his desk which wasn't too far from where I'd been sleeping I heard a faint "Really?" coming from the phone. 

"Fuck no."

"Fuck, yes you mean" I said, getting up. I heard a "Aha" from the phone. It did sound like the voice I heard so many times in videos.. Was it really him?

I heard a yelp and a thud as Cry started, supposedly startled by me. "Jesus fuck, Echo."

"CRY, LANGUAGE, YOU HAVE A CHILD" I heard being yelled from the phone. 

"Don't worry about it, Pewds."

"'Don't worry about. Don't worry about it' I'm Cry and---" He was swiftly interrupted by Cry. 

"Shut the fuck up"

"How dare you say that to the most fabulous--" A phone was suddenly put in my hands and I heard Cry's voice right above me. "I can't deal with him, here, you talk to him." I blinked in surprise. What.
