A noise makes me shift in my bed, but i soon get comfy again and relax.

𝐵𝑧𝑧

I groan and throw my hand in the direction of the noise. I grab my phone and pull it onto the bed with me. The blue light coming from my phone makes my squint to try and see what's on the screen.

Once i finally get the alarm off, i toss my phone to the other end of my bed. My head flops back down on my pillow. I gaze up at my celling, feeling like i'm forgetting something.

I get a sudden notification from my streaming setup, and I remember. I am supposed to stream! My body shoots up and off my bed to set myself down in my gaming chair.

My fingers fly over my keyboard to bring up my discord, where there is already a call going on. I put on my headphones and join the call.

"Sorry I'm late," I mumble into the mic.

"We haven't even stared yet. You're good," Sean says.

I grab my phone off my bed and take a quick picture of the discord call and post it, letting my fans know I'll be streaming soon. I load up the game we're playing as we idly chit-chat.

I pull up twitch and start my stream. I'm not really one for introductions, but I tell the incoming chat what we're playing and who with. First, I mute my mic on the call before I talk to chat.

"Today we're playing among us with Sykkuno, Valkyrie, Toast, Poki, Jacksepticeye, Tina, Pewdiepie, Brookeab, and someone I've never met before, Corpse."

I'm a faceless streamer, so nobody can see the way I relax back into my gaming chair. I unmute my mic in the discord call and drum my fingers against my desk, waiting for among us to load.

"I sent the code in chat," Sykkuno says.

I copy the code from the discord chat and paste it in among us. Most of the other characters were already in the lobby. I never really customize my character because I always end up being a different color every time.

My hands press my arrow keys to make my character move side to side as I wait for the game to load. The last person we were waiting for arrives, Corpse.

"Cherry, I believe this is your first time meeting Corpse," Sykkuno says as soon as he joins.

"Hello, Cherry," Corpses' voice booms from my headphones.

"Hello, Corpse," I copy.

I try to make it seem like his voice isn't a surprise to me.

"No reaction?" Valkyrie questions with a laugh.

Corpse laughs, but it seems a bit forced, like maybe he's anxious, so I try to lighten the mood a bit.

"I didn't wanna sound like a dork when we just met," I laugh and nervously play with the hem of my shirt, hoping people don't sense my nerves.

Luckily, the others laugh and don't suspect anything, and the game starts. The countdown goes down to reveal my role, crewmate.

I quickly move my character away from the others and into admin to do card swipe, which I get on the first try. My chat hypes me up, and I can't help but chuckle.

Soon after, I move over to electrical where I suspect I'll be killed, but I see Corpse already there, so I take my chance. As I finish my task, I see Corpses' character suddenly jerk in my direction. I attempt to run away, but he ends up killing me and venting away.

I make a noise that's a mixture of a sigh and a laugh. My chat spams a mixture of things, some making fun of me and others laughing with me.

When the imposters win, the first thing Corpse says is, "Sorry for betraying you, Cherry."

I laugh and shake my head even though no one can see me, "Don't worry about it."

-

"Bye."

We all say our goodbyes and end our streams. After a few more rounds me and Corpse got more comfortable with one another, but we weren't very familiar with one another.

I barely relax for a few minutes before I get a message. Clicking on the message, I see it's from Sykkuno.

I hear my bones crack as I stretch and get out of my seat. My body face plants into my bed once more, and I debate whether or not I'm hungry enough to go get something to eat.

Eventually, I decide it's not worth it, and I roll over in bed. I'm not tired ether, so my body just lays motionless on my bed. I can't help but let my thoughts wonder to what happened the other night.

My fingertips travel to the bandages at my wrists and pick at them. I hear my phone buzz a few more times, but I'm too engrossed in my thoughts to pay any mind to it.

I flip to lay flat on my back and look up to see the plastic glow in the dark stars on my celling. There weren't many of them, but I still found them cool.

Before I knew it, the bandages on my left arm fell off to reveal my stabbed over cuts. I look down at the marks for a moment before allowing my nails to pick the scabs open again.

I couldn't feel the pain of my cuts re-opening. All I could feel was a deep sense of boredom and despair. My fingers stopped in front of my face, and I noticed they had a bit of blood on them.

Finally, I rise from my bed and stumble over to my bathroom. I wash my arm and fingers, riding them of blood. After that, I wrap my arm back up in fresh bandages and then throw a hoodie on, hoping it will prevent me from scratching my arms.

My gaze lingers at my kitchen, knowing I should eat something, but my stomach churns at the thought, so I head back to my room. Knowing I won't be able to sleep, i take a seat at my desk to get some editing done.
