Late Night Calls and Early Morning Apologies Part 1

"You're an asshole, but I love you."

"And I get so mad I ask myself why I'm still here, or where could I go?"

"No one else can break my heart like you."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Penny woke up feeling great. Was she so exhausted she could hardly function? Totally. Did she have a pounding headache threatening to crack her skull open?Also, yes. Was it all worth it? Of course. She had pulled an almost all nighter on call with Tommy the previous night, going from Minecraft to talking to deep conversations to incomprehensible babbling to falling asleep on call together at around six in the morning. It was now nine thirty, and Penny didn't regret it in the slightest. She poured herself a bowl of cereal and mindlessly chewed, not even tasting whichever cereal she had put in her bowl. She was very lucky and grateful that college classes didn't start back up again for a couple months and the biggest thing on her agenda was her stream in the afternoon.

Once her cereal was finished, she washed, dried, and put away her dishes before grabbing a comfortable yet stylish outfit to wear and hopped in the shower. The warm water and morning routine helped wake her up all the way, and she was feeling much better by noon. Penny stretched, jogged around the block, and made herself a simple lunch before she texted Tommy.

Pen<3: Hey, you ready to stream?

She set her phone face down on the table, waiting for a response, and played something on the tv while she finished her lunch. After thirty minutes of no reply, she tried again.

Pen<3: Good morning, sunshine! Hope you're ready to stream soon. This is that really important charity stream and you're my guest star to help raise money.

Another half hour with no reply and Penny was growing worried, hoping he was okay. She texted him a few more times with increasing amounts of urgency in her typed words, eventually calling him a couple dozen times in threes before giving up. She couldn't decide if she was angry or concerned as she started her stream, announcing in a false happy voice to the viewers what the streams money was going towards and how excited she was for this stream. She started running around on Minecraft, blowing up Tommy's Discord with messages and still getting no response. 

She pushed the thought aside and continued the stream on like normal, building a Minecraft farm while answering questions. Quite a few people asked about Tommy, seeing how he and her frequently streamed together, but she brushed their questions off with vague responses mostly along the lines of 'he wasn't free today, unfortunately, ' and 'He had other plans that conflicted.' 

Chat eventually seemed to get the hint and stopped asking about it, but one donation sent nervous chills down her spine, and she bristled as her anxiety spiked.

 Hello Pennylicious! I was just wondering when the special guest was going to make their appearance! Hope you have a nice day!

She had mentioned a special guest in her Twitter post yesterday, hadn't she? She sighed, mentally cursing herself, and quickly thought up a reply.

"Yes, I did and don't worry, they'll be here near the end of the stream as a grand finale!" She replied with false happiness and gusto she no longer had as the exhaustion from that morning began seeping in and she slowly wilted from stress as the stream continued.

Around the halfway point, Penny began texting her other streamer friends.

                                              THE SUPER COOL GAMERS OF THE CUBE GAME

One cent: Hey!!!! Cam someone come on my charity stream as my special guest?

Bee boi: Wasn't Tommy supposed to?

One cent: Best not answering my texts or calls and its an emergency at this point.

Dweam: Sapnap, George, and I are quite literally just about to film a manhunt, sorry Penny.

One cent: It's fine, Dream, I understand and it's not your fault. Good luck!

Dweam: Thank you and you too! 

Wilby: He's not answering my calls/texts either.

Bee boi: I'll do it, Penny, just let me get my stream and computer set up.

One Cent: Thank you Tubbo you're a lifesaver.

Despite feeling relief at having a replacement and not having to let her stream down, she also had heavy anxiety clouding the back of her mind, weighing her down. Where was Tommy?
