Where'd he come from?

Your voice is just as pretty as you

//y'all go read hey you okay🫶//

"No, I do not, Asher!" I playfully push his shoulders.

"Whatever you say, autumn."

— 4:20pm

Evan
Hey, what's your twitch user? I wanna watch your stream today

Autumn
Oh, hey! It's its_auttie87

Evan
Followed! When are you streaming today?

Autumn
About 5, yk you play video games too, you could get on stream with me tonight

Evan
Oh really? Ya I'd love to! I'll at the studio right now but I should be back around 4:45

Autumn
Mk, just lmk.

I haven't left the shop yet, I just finished closing.

I sit in my car and smile.

Maybe Asher was right but it's too early to tell.

Honestly, I get stressed out when I take interest in people.

Too many people have hurt me in the past.

I don't wanna go through that again.

I don't wanna mess it all up and have Evan hate me.

I always seem to mess it up though, no matter how hard I try.

It's like a cycle.

Or, I'll think I like them but the second we start dating, I don't?

I don't know why it happens.

And the second I break up with them, because I think I don't like them, I want them back the next day.

I don't want that to happen anymore.

— 10 minutes later

I walk into my house, I'm greeted by mayor.

I pet him and walk towards the kitchen.

I set my stuff on the counter.

I grab my tumbler and fill it with ice.

I pour a water bottle in it and add a pink lemonade flavor packet.

I grab my cup and head to my room.

I set my cup down on my desk and change clothes.

Nothing special, just a white tank top and black skirt.

It's scary wearing a skirt, I don't why, I live alone.

My viewers don't even see my bottom half.

I tie my hair into a ponytail, as best as I can.

I spend the next 15 minutes preparing for my stream.

I'm nervous, I don't want to scare Evan away.

I have to watch my mouth.

My phone makes the text message sound,

Evan
What's your disc?

Autumn
Same as my twitch, its_auttie87

Evan
Alright, im back at home. I'll add you in just a sec

A few minutes go by before I hear the discord noise in my headset.

I type "fall guys with bestie" in the title.

"Evan_X2 has added you as a friend!" A notification rings through my ears.

I accept it and hit start on the stream tab.

A wave of fake joyful emotion hits me.

'I have to smile for the camera.' I think.

"Hey! How are y'all chat?" I say.

"We have someone joining us today, soon."

The chat floods with "IS IT YOUR POOKIE EVAN?" And "auvan ship name"

"He is not my 'pookie" I say after reading some of the messages.

I giggle and her ring Evan on discord.

"Hi!" He says.

"Hi, Evan!" I say as the chat explodes with things like "I KNEW IT" and "autumns gonna be pregnant Tmr"

"Okay so," I start, "what are we playing?"

"Minecraft?" He questions, "everyone likes Minecraft."

"Yeah sure!" I say and load up the game.

"Autumn you should sing for your new boyfriend " I read from the chat.

"HE IS NOT-" I yell, "okay, it's that alright with you, Evan?" I say calmly.

"Yeah! I'd love to hear you!" He says, excited.

"Mk, lemme do..." I think really hard, "without you with me' by madison Ramsey." (YES THIS IS ANOTHER AD AND NO I DONT HAVE A RELASE DATE YET.)

I bottle up my feelings,

My chest is shakey.

No you can't pop the top

The notes are a little wonky but I have to warm up to singing infront of him I guess.

I'll cry in my bed

My face crunches and smooshes in places.

Save it up, til I'm dead

I make weird faces when I sing.

Keep it sealed won't let them in

My voice starts slowly warming up.

And I don't mean to hurt you,

The notes come out clearer and less shakey.

But patience is a virtue

I start to get more comfortable.

One day I'll get better, wrapped up in your sweater

My body moved and flows to music.

With every cut that gets deeper,

I hear a few woo's and yells come from Evan.

I feel your heart get weaker

I see a few people in the chat say mean things.

One day I'll be free

But I don't care.

Running underneath the trees

I'm grateful for the ones that support me.

Just you and me

My eyes close and my head tilts back.

Just you and me

I move my head and open my eyes.

Evan claps and yells and people woo in the chat.

I can't help but smile.

My smile starts to grow even wider when I hear Evan say,

"Your voice is just as pretty as you"
