Gaming You (Little Gathering Series)

Chapter 8 - Phone Call

Deemia pov

I'm damn sleepy because I got hook up in COC last night. My TH finish upgrading so I'm collecting dark eli gold and eli (if you had play coc before, you would understand) crazily. I only go to sleep after upgrading two of my moctar. I really need to sleep now.

"Deemia.."

I hear leader is calling for me. I don't care. I just want to sleep. He calls again as he shake my shoulder softly. I  keep my eyes shut and turn away avoiding him.

"Deemia.." He calls again.

"Let me sleep. I'm really sleepy." I beg with my sleepy voice.

"Your phone is ringing."

I curse in my head as I press the call button attach on the earphone. I yawn because I'm sleepy and tired.

"What.." I speak weakly.

"Were you sleeping?" Its my high school classmate, Remmy. We are bestfriend because we share the same hobby. We play games when we were in high school together.

"No honey.. I'm just awake from death." I tease.

"Very funny." He sarcasms.

I yawn again as I speak. "Why did you call? If you need some laid call other candidates." I tease him.

"Stupid. That is not the reason why I call. Did you get the invitation? Tristan is getting marry next month."

I open my eyes imediately and sit straight. My vision is blur because of the sudden contact with light. So I blink few times to clear my sight.

"With who?" I ask seriously.

"Lol.. they must have skip your invitation. Come on, you are not that stupid, you can't guess."

"Tell me its not." I pray in my head.

"Its is Mia.. its it." Remmy is serious.

I sink deeply in misery and lean back the seat while rubbing behind my neck.

"I'm done caring. Let them be." I speak bitterly as I try to hide away my fear.

"Does that mean you are coming back?"

"No..!" Finally I shout but freeze after it slip my mouth.

"Why?" Remmy voice raise. I can only blink. "There is no point becoming champion if he got married. You're only there because ---"

"Shut up before I kill you." My voice turn low and scary as I warn him from the bottom of my heart.

"I'm sorry." He apologize imediately.

I sigh deeply and calm down my raging anger. "I'll be back when I want to be back. Stop asking me to come home."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sleepy. Bye." I end the call.

I pull the earphone harsly from my ears and toss it. I fold my hand in front of my chest and shut my eyes. My tears start gather around my eyes and struggle to fall down. I rub my eyes to prevent it from happening then lean my head toward the window silently.

"Deemia.."

"Shut up." I groan in pain. Its feel like thousand of needles are poking around my chest its killing me inside.

"Are you ---"

"Shut up."

"Dee ---"

"Just shut up..!" My voice start to crack because of the haven't heard tears slowly crawl in my throat.

"Dee ---"

"What..!"

I turn coldly but before I meet leader eyes he put a cap ontop of my head. He even lower the cap to hide my face. I freeze and speechless with his caring attitude.

"Are you all right?" He asks softly.

One second..
Two second..
Three second..

"Its hurt." I answer in my small voice and lean back to my seat.

"Stay calm and keep clashing."

I chuckle the moment I process what did he said. That is COC gamer punchline. I laugh too much I need to clutch my stomach because of him. It never cross my mind leader have this funny side.

"That's funny. So you're capable to crack some joke." I comment.

"I'm not tense all the time. I need to laugh too."

"I thought you're a robot."

"I'm not a robot. I'm a leader."

"And a campion." I smirk under the cap.

"Sleep." He speaks softly like he is comforting me. "Sleep is what you need right now."

"You are right." I sigh.

Before I could correct my posture, he pull my head lean on his shoulder then tidying my cap to cover my face. Then he pats my arm encouraging me to sleep.

"Look for me when you're single ok." I tease him.

"Just sleep." He annoys.

"Good night lead." I shut my eyes.

"Good night." He wish me back.

I shut my eyes but Remmy words keep ringing in my ears. I'm scare.. He is marrying my sister. I can't go home now. No one know what happen that day. The day my family throw me aways because they thought I lie. And I'm still far from being a champion.
