Chapter 10, I Just So Happen To Be Dating That Scumbag

Minecon. It was an event that could either be the best experience you've ever had, something that makes you envious of others, or occasionally makes you feel altogether horrible. For Preston, it was altogether horrible. He didn't want to go. Exhausted and confused, he barely wanted to leave his office chair. He heard the booming voice of Lachlan, yelling into the microphone as he got people hyped up for the panel. Preston felt uncomfortable, light-headed even, after 3 days with no sleep. But frankly, he didn't care anymore.

His gaze traveled the room, Mitch making faces at the crowd, Matt laughing along with him, Jerome seemed distracted, and Vikk and Rob were looking at each other as if they could converse with just their eyes. The crowd screaming, Lachlan's voice through the Mic, he felt dizzy, resting his head on his arms. Rob stood up, a smile on his face as he chanted with the crowd. Everyone was laughing and getting ready for the Q&A, settling down in their seats, and just as Lachlan began to introduce the group, a thump rang out through the room.

Everything had begun to feel hot for Preston. His fingers tingling, and he couldn't seem to think straight. (A/N probably because Rob's there...think straight...BAHAHAHA) Breathing heavily he heard a voice to his left, but all he saw was black.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You could have heard a pin drop at that moment. All heads turned to Preston, slumped against the table. Taking control, Rob jumped up running off of stage to get the security guards, as Lachlan tried desperately to calm the crowd down. Paramedics rushed in, taking in the Texan, out cold on the long table. Murmurs were heard from the crowd, confused as to what had exactly gone down. People moved out of the way as the gamer was carried out of the building, past stunned faces.

"Due to current events, this panel has been canceled, I apologize to those who came for this." Mitch's voice rang through Rob's ears, as he grabbed he keys, rushing out to his car with Vikk.

"What even just...woah." Vikk stammered, still slightly confused. He examined Rob's nervous face, the creases around his eyes, as he sped to the hospital. Cutting through the silence Vikk spoke, "Rob...what are we?"

"What do you mean?" He replied, his attention shifting to Vikk.

"I mean, are we like, a thing?" Vikk said, nervously licking his bottom lip.

"Up to you." Rob said bluntly, an amused grin on his face.

"It's not funny Rob!"

"It is when it's you."

"Come on! Yes or no!"

"Sure." Rob finished, the grin never leaving his face.

"Scumbag." Vikk said, a laugh escaping his lips.

"Well you just so happen to be dating that scumbag." Rob replied, making Vikk roll his eyes, pecking the gamer softly on the lips.

"Family or friends of Preston Arsement?" The group jumped up to greet the white clad nurse, wanting an answer. "Your friend is going to be fine, passed out from sleep deprivation, has he been on the correct medication lately?" The nurse questioned. The group exchanged confused looks, and Rob spoke up.

"What medication?" He asked, eyebrows furrowed. She looked at her clipboard, flipping through pages.

"It says here that Preston Arsement should be on daily medication for Paradoxical Insomnia."

(A/N yes it's a real thing. Google it.)

"He never told us." Matt spoke up, a serious look on his face. Jerome was shocked, although his mind was still wandering. He wished he was at Minecon, but he was, at the same time, thankful to have gotten out of it. He didn't feel ready to face his former friends, but he still wanted to get it over with.

"You can visit him one at a time until eight." The nurse finished, and hurried off. The entire group turned around looking at each other, trying to decide who'd go first.

"I'll visit first then." Rob said, running a hand through the back of his hair. The guys agreed, and Rob headed to the room.

I feel like the minecraft youtuber community is slowly dying and it makes me sad...Like I'm fine with people throwing in other games, and I'm supportive of Tyler and Kyle no matter what, but it's pretty harsh to hear people say the game is dying, because it really isn't. That new update is insane. I feel like right now the strongest part of the minecraft community is the MindCrack and Attack of the B-Team server. It's nice to see that they still have the enthusiasm. I mean, I could go on forever about how many people are losing motivation to play the game, and it sucks. Mainly hoping that they don't leave gaming commentary altogether. That would be heartbreaking.

NEVER LOSE FAITH IN NOTCH

Bye!
