Chapter 2

"I will give her the world"

*        *         *

Over the next month, George busied himself focusing only on Liv, forgetting about himself in the process. he lives in a 2-bedroom flat, one room being his bedroom, the other his streaming room (idk wtf to call it). 

George removes everything from the Streaming room shoving his stuff into a corner of his room, moving all of her stuff, turning it into her own room. It wasn't the best set up, but it works.

Liv has no clue; she is completely oblivious to what Uncle George meant when he said Mummy is with Aunt Carol and won't be back for a while. she was a little confused but didn't question it and just went on her day like normal. 

George wishes it was that easy, ignorance truly is bliss. It had been a month, but he was struggling without her. he would struggle to get out of bed forcing himself to get out of bed for Liv's sake. he tries to keep up a mask around Liv not wanting to scare her. The first week he accidentally broke down Infront of her and she panicked not knowing if her uncle was okay. Ever since than he's been careful to keep the mask up to show her, he was "okay". Hed to admit it was exhausting, pretending you are fine when you aren't.

but this, it was only one part of the problem.

for the past two months he's blocked off all connections from the online world. the first week he was gone it was a friend or two checking up on him the next week half of his friends checked up on him and a couple comments from viewers, none of which he responded to. as time progressed the check ups became more frequent more concerned the most common being Dreams. It hurt him seeing how he was hurting his friends, but it hurt more thinking of streaming or filming a video. His Twin, his sister, his best friend, his soulmate, his biggest fan, his rock, gone, a memory. She was the one who convinced him stream creating all his accounts and everything. whenever he streamed, she would be watching it, congratulating him on wins and gawking over clutches. she stayed up with him helping him edit videos late into to the night. She was there when I got my first hate, shielding me from their harm. the thought of continuing without her... it just hurt

 One Month to two, Two to Three. The constant Notifications, concern... reminders of what he was trying not to face. 

He cut it off. blocked all his friends, deleted the apps, got a new number, packing away his streaming gear, everything. It felt freeing, escaping from the constant reminders, but at the same time it made it worse. He kept pushing it down never truly giving himself time to grieve...

he became numb.

Liv was having fun, she was being a kid, playing with her dolls, creating fun imaginary games, doing what all kids would do her age. Guess what?! she even got to move in with her uncle, she loved him she though he was so funny, making little candies appear and sneakily eating them before mum could catch them. he always had a joke to make her laugh, and she loved it when he would pick her up and spin them around in circles.

It was fun being with him every day, him chasing her around the house when she would sneak a cookie or play hide and seek getting ambushed with tickles. but over time something felt off, Liv was a very smart kid and paid good attention. sometimes when he thought she wasn't looking he would have a frown on his face or just staring out the window no emotions on his face, not as much laughter as before. she also noticed he would wear the same clothes from previous days, sometime smelling stinky not taking showers and having dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep. she would notice when he would only eat half of his food. 

Liv may be young, but she was it dumb. She could tell something was wrong.
