"What were you gonna ask me, Blaze?" Jaelynn asked after I had gone back to normal.

"Oh yeah, right, Dream wanted to know if he could join our game of bedwars," I state for my brother and my chat. "So, what d'you say? Can he join us?"

"Wait- likeee Dream? The real Dream? As in Minecraft manhunt, awesome speedrunner Dream?" he quickly exclaimed, excitement clear in his voice.

"Uhh,, yeah?" I said, confused as to why he sounded so excited.

"WHAT THE HELL?? YOU KNOW DREAM- WHY DID YOU NEVERR THINK TO TELL ME THIS??"

Then I remembered. Dream is still just Clay in my head, it's not a big deal to me that he has a huge following. But, to Jaelynn, Dream is super fucking cool. And he looks up to him, so I can now understand him excitement.

I had a very similar reaction when I got the chance to play Minecraft with some of my favorites from when I was younger.

"I don't know, I guess it just never came up," I said smoothly, sounding extremely casual compared to my brother's excitement.

"Of course he can play- I mean, why would you even ask a question like that? You know I love his videos, and have watched all of his streams."

Oh god Jae, you shouldn't have said that- people are gonna come after you for being a 'Dream stan'. Aye, aye, ayeee...

"Okay, I'll message him and tell him you said he could join us," I told him as I once again redirected my attention to my monitor with discord pulled up.
"Oh, and don't forget I'm still live," I said with a slight smirk.

"B- you should've told me that before my freakout- Now I'm gonna get cancelled for being a Dream stan! And I- I'm just a child! I don't deserve to be cancelled!" he exclaimed dramatically.

We both then proceeded to laugh at his dramatics before we heard another ding, signifying someone has joined our call.

"Hi Dream," I said casually.

"Hi Blaze, hi Blaze's brother. What am I supposed to call you again, I was watching the stream but I forgot."

"Hi Dream!" he shouted slightly, excitement very clear in his voice, "Also, I think it's 'Braze,' but I'm not too sure. You can just call me J since Blaze over here already said it," my brother said with sarcasm in his voice at the end.

"I already said I was sorry!"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding-"

"J, I wouldn't recommend messing with your older sister. I have one myself, and she's someone that after messing with one too many times, I'm slightly scared of."

"Really? You're scared of your older sister? Like, how could I be scared of Blaze here, she's weak. She's basically a twig," and as soon as he said that I felt I had just been stabbed in the back.

My own brother just called me weak. And said I was a twig.

"Okay, well, never mind! We are not going to be playing anymore bedwars seeing as I am quite tired. Alright, bye everyone. Hope you enjoyed the stream. Love you guys, bye," I said as I quickly ended my stream.

My brother's comment affected me more than I'd like to admit it did.
It hurts. A lot.
And it stung real bad too.

"Bye Dream, bye Jae. I'll talk to you guys later," I said trying to keep my voice smooth, a difficult task to complete because of the how shallow my breathing was becoming.

"Briar I'm really sor-" my brother's voice got cut off as I hung up the phone call.

I closed out discord, twitch, streamlabs, and Minecraft before I finally turned off my PC.

I got up from my chair and made my way over to Orion's enclosure that was on the other side of the room, at the end of my bed.

I went over to his little cage and got him out. I cradled him gently, my panic levels lowering as I sat there and focused on my hedgehog.

For some reason holding Orion was always able to calm me. I haven't always taken advantage of this fact, because I often forget about it. But when I do remember it, it helps me greatly. And it has helped me avoid many possibly dangerous situation.

I just sat on the floor of my room in front of his cage holding him while I tried to steady my breathing once more.

After a few minutes of gently cradling my hedgehog, while sitting criss-cross on my floor, my breathing was normal again.

I gently set him back down in his cage and got up to go wash my hands.

I made my way over to the bathroom that was connected to my room, I turned on the sink. I let the water warm up for a few moments before sticking my hands in and washing them off.

I patted my hands dry with a hand towel that was placed to the side of the sink on the counter.

I went back to my room to find my phone to let Clay and Jaelynn know I was okay, seeing as my panic was somewhat evident as I ended my stream and got off the call.

I quickly sent them each a text letting them know I was alright and there was no need to worry.

Jaelynn apologized, and Clay just continued to double-check that I was okay.

After I'd convinced him I was actually okay, it was about 1:15 pm.

I decided I'd just take a nap since I was quite tired, then after that I'd work on some school work.
