Years in Hiding| A Parkbomb FF

I enter the teamspeak channel awaiting an awkward silence, but what I found was quite different. Instead I entered to find Parker, singing loudly and off-key to some 5sos song. Possibly their new song, "She's Kinda Hot"?

Although the song was catchy, I was more focused on the singer. He had his webcam on and I could see everything he was doing and he didn't stop, but he also hadn't realized I joined the call.
His cheeks were a light pink color, as if he'd been sun burned recently. His hair was slicked up into the perfect "quif", and his teeth were just as perfect.

Somewhere through the song Parker realized I was listening, laughing, and clapping at his performance. Instead of being embarrassed and leaving the call as I would've, he accepted the attention by bowing and yelling "Thank you, AND GOOD NIGHT CHICAGO!".

There's something special about Parker that I know is going to make us have a great friendship. He's the complete opposite of me: outgoing and social. While I'm quiet, and so anti-social I was afraid to open the DM he sent me. But, I can tell we're going to be a pretty interesting recording buddies.

Liam enters the call as I'm singing 5 Seconds of Summer's new song "She's Kinda Hot". I know he entered the call, but he's purposely staying quiet so he can hear me sing. Instead of quitting or making the situation awkward, I own the song. I'm sitting in my small computer chair dancing and singing off-key making Liam laugh his adorable laugh, there's no doubt this isn't my Liam.

My webcam is on, so I know Liam saw me finish strong with jazz hands. Although I want to laugh I can't break down yet, so instead I bow to his clapping; and yell "THANK YOU, GOOD NIGHT CHICAGO!".

After both of us recover from our laughing fits, we decide to record some mcsg. Very unoriginal, I know, but it's a good game to learn about him and his pvp skills. We ended up playing around 30 games and only winning 4, due to getting targeted by fans each time.

After our recordings were done we just talked, which was different from my usual record, edit, eat, sleep routine. Liam was quiet before the games, loud and a confident commentator during the video, but then back to quiet after the recording. It was strange because most people are normally quieter on screen then off screen, but I suppose everyone is different.

"So Liam, I don't really know much about you. Where you from?"

"I currently live in an apartment just outside of downtown Chicago, but I use to live in the suburbs with my parents."

There's no way he's lived in Chicago his whole life, he's the Liam I lost that day many years ago. The same laugh, the same smiley face, the same shyness.

"Oh." Is all I can say.

"So where are you from?" Liam asked.

"I'm from Texas. It's funny because I used to have a friend named Liam. He acted just like you, and moved to Chicago years ago. But if you've lived there your whole life there's no way you're him." I forgot I had my webcam on, so Liam saw me look as if I was about to cry. I don't think he noticed, but if he did he was kind enough not to say anything. I quickly turned my webcam off, and told Liam I needed to go edit. We said our goodbyes and went separate ways.

I know he's crying, and it's pretty obvious this other Liam meant a lot to him...possibly more then friendship?
