Chapter 3 - That Voice Part 2

A/N
I just graduated last week, so the past few months have been super hectic but since it's summer I hope to be writing more. While chapters may not be regular for this story, I'm hoping to write more than once every few months (whoops!) Hopefully I will update this one chapter a week, or more!!

"Hey Mason!" Cam chuckles softly, but I barely hear his words. My mind is reeling. I swear that's the voice from my dreams. It was exactly the same..

"Hey who's KaratheIguana?" The Australian asks

"Thats my buddy Kara. She's a 'girl gamer'" the last words put in a mocking tone from Cam.

"Hey. Shut up. I'm better than you asshole!" I retort while leaning back in my chair.

"Oooh! She got ya!" Mason yells at Cam before Erik cuts in yet again "I got shit to do! Can we please get this session done with?"

"Ok Mr. Grumpy pants!! Yeah let's play." Mason smirks before we ready ourselves. We were playing CS:GO. Something I knew the boys played a lot for their videos. It was only 3 hours later, when I realized we had been playing so long that we decided to call it a day. It was so much fun playing with them all, I already felt comfortable around them. Especially Mason. While I was still in my head about my dream, he was definitely fun to hang around.

"Alright boys. It was fun. I gotta go fuckin.. jack off or something." I hear Mason mutter, and I feel myself blush.

"Alright you have fun with that buddy," Cameron chuckles before the boys sign off one by one. I meet Cam in the hallway and we decide to go out for lunch.

"Hey so.. are you feeling any better?" Cam asks halfway through our meal. We'd decided on Harding's. A burger joint.

"Uhh.. yeah! I had a lot of fun today." I smile to him softly. "It's just.. well you know that voice I was talking about..? From my dream?"

"Yeah! The guy underwater." Cameron says, mouth full of food.

"Yeah.. that guys voice.. sounded nearly.. well.. exactly like the guy from my dream. I was tripping out for a moment there! Like what are the chances?" I mutter as I shove a couple fries in my mouth.

"Really? Yeah.. that is.. definitely weird. Are you sure you're remembering it right?" He says as he sets down his burger.

"I mean.. that weird accent was most definitely Australian. They were very similar. I'm sure of it. I'm just.. curious what it means? I mean it was just.. like a prophecy or something? I don't know! I'm freaking out!"

I stop talking as I feel Cameron's hand place itself on top of mine. "Hey. If it's some.. prophecy or whatever, it's gotta be good. You said yourself that your dream wasn't scary! You just gotta go with the flow." He smiles. He always knew how to calm me down.

"Yeah. Ok. Just go with the flow. Go with the flow." I mutter to myself as we start to eat again and finish our meals in a comfortable silence.

Over the next few days at Cams house, I played a lot of games with the guys. It distracted me from what I had tried to do barely a week ago. Toby even asked me to livestream with him! The guys were super accepting of me after that first play together. But one night, after we'd decided to play some Rainbow Six Siege, Mason was the last one to log off discord, and caught me off guard when he nervously asked me a question.

"Kara.. you uh.. feelin better at all?"

"Huh? Yeah! Today was really fun." I smile as I fix little things on my desk, a habit of mine.

"Good. That's good to hear. Once Cam told me w-" he cuts off.

"Uhh Mason? I think you cut out there? What's cam tell you?" I ask, concern growing throughout me as I think over everything he could've told them.

"Huh? Oh it- it was nothin. Promise. It uhh... he just uh.. told us you weren't feeling well today.. yeah.."

Even though I've only known him a few days, it's clear Mason is lying. "Mason seriously what did he tell you? I can tell you're lying." I insisted.

"He uh.. he.. I'm not.. I'm not supposed to tell you but he.. told us what you did.. last week.. you're uh.. attempt I guess."

"What? Why- why would he tell you that?! That's personal information!"

"I know he just- he wanted to make sure that we wouldn't tease you or anything- it wasn't a big deal to any of us he just wanted us to make sure you were having a good time!"

By this point I could barely even hear him anymore. I felt anger, and sadness, and confusion whirling around in my head. "Mason I.. gotta go." I mumble out and log off before he has the chance to respond. I got up and walk down to the kitchen where Cam was grabbing himself a water bottle, oblivious to the conversation ahead.

"Hey! Tonight was a lot of fun right?"

"Why? Why would you tell them that? What I did? That isn't their right to know what if- what if they don't actually like me?! And now they're just doing this to make me feel wanted!" I can't help but throw my hands in the air. There were too many thoughts going through my head. What if this ruined everything? "Cam this.. this wasn't fair.. I think I'm going to go home." I sigh and move my gaze to the floor.

"Kara please don't leave- it.. wasn't like that. I just wanted to make sure you had a good time. I didn't tell them everything I swear I just.. I told that you went through a hard time and needed a good time that night-"

"Cam that doesn't make up for it. You should've asked me first." I mutter while trying to push away my tears. I walk up the stairs to the spare room and grab my duffel bag of clothes and various items I had brought over. Cameron followed me, and pleaded for me to stay the entire time.

"Kara please! You aren't supposed to go home by yourself yet. I didn't mean for it to hurt you I thought you wouldn't have cared!"

"Cameron if you thought I wouldn't have cared you would've told me. I'm going home. Don't stop me."

He sighs and takes a step back, knowing he couldn't do much to keep me here. I order an Uber and drive back to my house.

It was quiet.
