I yawn and  stretch my arms out as i wake up yawning. Ughh another day of streaming and talking to NO FUCKING BODY 'Tf am i doing bruh this shit is a waste of time frl.. but i really appreciate the few supporters i have' I think to myself as I get outta bed, my eyes just barely open.

I hear the door open and turn to my left, hearing my little sister laughing. "Nigga you look like shit" she chuckles lightly as she hands me a plate of breakfast. i give her a hug as thanks and eat my food.

Couple hours later im on stream, yelling at my viewers, tryna educate them on how every nigga with dreads is going to hell... besides me ofcourse. i have like 20 people who're arguing back with me about it.

Honest i having a small community isnt that bad when i think about it , i get to actually have conversations with them, When you're as big as kaicenat.. theres hella chats going hella fast, idk how tf he rlly does it cuz that shit be fast asl.. anyways

Nourbby7382: YOO YOURRAGE IS

Max Stares at his chat, eyebrows furrowed "Guys who tf is yourrage??" He instantly starts getting some questions marks and people saying "WHAT" like hes fucking crazy. "Yall i dont know who tf that is" hes watching how shocked his chat is being and huffs. "alright mane lets see who tf this nigga is.."

'Shit.. Shit shit this is really happening' Josh thinks to himself as he gets ready to join a discord call with kaicenat and fanum. He sits at his desk contemplating if he should really do this or not, after sitting there for 3 mins he says "Fuck it" and joins the call making sure his camera is off

"YOOOOOO ITS RAGE!!" kai screams in the call. he watches as kai runs around his room like a kid "Wassup" fanum says right after. Joshua takes a deep breath to calm his nerves and replies. "YO YO WASSUP GUYS!, Nice to finally talk to yall"

"Chat. this nigga yourage has been on his grind lately, hes just going up and up and up right now he really doing his thing, keep it up man, and when tf are we gonna get a face reveal" kai asks

"Thank you man, ill definitely keep it up, wnd uhh about a face reveal... idk man, it'll happen when it happens, or it might not happen at all we'll see" he replies

They chat it up for a few more minutes before they start playing fortnite and dead by daylight.  for like 4 hours. kai and fanum was ready for another game but rage tapped out. "Imma catch yall later alright?" and with that he left the call.

He lets out a big sigh of relief and then starts dancing, excited over the fact that he was just chatting with the biggest streamer in the world, and he grimaces after, realizing ALLOT of new people are gonna be watching his content.

After relaxing for about a hour and a half he sits at his desk and starts up a stream, opening the walking dead to finish the game. when he looks at how many people are watching his eyes widen. he usually averages at about 14k viewers per live but now its at 73k people watching him right now.

He rubs his head. "Holy fuck there is allot of people in here right now.." He doesnt know if he wants to be excited or hesitant. 'shit' he thinks to himself.

Max is watching a compilation of this streamer called yourRage recommended by his chat. "Wait, so wtf does this nigga look like, and he's popular cuz he just rages? im so lost bruh" he rants as he continues to look through videos looking for his face.

Rampage01: No one knows what he looks like yet
Chichi: Still cant believe you aint know who he is..
Divinebby: He first got popular from raging compilations but hes just a entertaining streamer.

"Okay okay, but like i dont get how hes so damn popular with no face reveal.." "Hes just built different" he read someones chat. "shi i guess he is." and max goes back to his normal streaming category, reacting to music and random ass videos his viewers recommend.

After ending his stream, max edits funny clips of his stream, posting them on tiktok and hoping one of them blows up.

once hes done he stands up and stretches, triping over air before he leaves his room, messing with his sister then going to the kitchen to fix himself something to eat

and that 'something to eat' is cereal at 5pm. but fuck it, food is food right? and finishes his cereal in the kitchen then heads to the living rooms, letting out a sigh of disappointment seeing 4 beef bottles on the table and his mom currently taking a shot of whiskey.

he scratches the back of his neck "ma, you really have to stop this.." he tries taking the bottle of whickey but his mom keeps her grip on it so he gives up.

ever since his dad passed away a year ago his bright and lively mom started drinking and getting quiet, loosing connections with her family and friends, and now she just drinks the day away, everyday.

Its gotten to the point where shes quit her job, and uses the tiniest bit of money they now have to buy more drinks. Max is always thankful he got to take driving classes and get a job to buy his little car and pc before all of this happened. he quit his job a while ago but since his mom started acting.. different he was forced to get another one to support him and his sister while keeping this job hidden from his ma.

"Mama.. when are you gonna stop this, drinking your life away isnt gonna bring him back or make you happy again. you have to stop this" Max says, sitting down next to his ma.

She snickers. "and when are you gonna stop recording, talking to yourself as if people are actually willing to watch you be worthless"

Max rolls his eyes and gets up. "This isnt the same person who raised me" he mumbles before leaving out the front door and heading to his car

"why am i even still here?" he asks himself this question all the time. 21 and still living in his childhood home? his job pays enough for him to get a small one bedroom apartment, but thats the thing, ONE bedroom. he doesn't want to leave his 14yr old lil sister in the house with that lady. so until he makes enough to move the both of them, they'll be staying there..

He picks up his phone and calls someone. "Hello?" hi sister answers. Yeah i was just letting you know im finna got for a drive real quick aight?" "Aight, and bring me back a arizona pls? im tired of water"

He chuckles "yeah i gotchu, see you inna few" and he hangs up. plugging his old ah iphone 8 into the aux and playing some brent faiyaz. he cruises down the freeway for about and hour, just aimlessly driving and vibing to the music. He makes sure to stop at the gas station to get his sister her drink, also grabbing a pack of all pink starburst for himself.

When he pulls up into the driveway and gets out his car his expression turns into confusion when he hears distant crying, but it quickly turns serious when it happens again, but louder this time and coming from his own home.

"Fuck." he rushes into the house.
