last chapter: 

"whadda want for breakfast karl?"

"pancakes? ill make them"

"oh yeah! thanks that would be great karl"

all of a sudden, theres a flash of light. its not a pleasant light. i felt a wave of heat, the smell of gas.


suddenly, flames filled the hallways, as your next door neighbor set his apartment up into flames. surprisingly it wasnt karls pancakes that set on fire, but we ran. we ran far out of the apartment. we were freezing in the snow, and didnt know what to do. karl offered to drive me to his apartment in north carolina, so i agreed. we drove to his apartment, which was a 6 hour drive. we sang, i streamed on twitch from my phone, and we had some pretty intresting conversations. once we made it, he showed me to his guest bedroom, so i made myself comfortable. i didn't get much from the apartment, except karls cat, and a few shirts and clothing. 


i kinda teared up, since i had lived in my favorite city, the apartment i could dream about, and the best jobs. but my gaming stuff was all left in the apartment. karl started up a stream on his account, as he started playing minecraft. i stayed in my room, since i didnt want it looking like i just cried. i scrolled through twitter, and instagram. i talked to autumn on the phone, explaining what happened. i heard a knock at karl's front door, so i went up to get it since karl was still streaming. 


as i stood out of bed, i was still on the phone with autumn. i walked out into the living room, and to the apartment door. i look outside, to see juliana. my ex bestfriend. wait. AT KARLS DOOR? 


"juliana wtf" i say shutting the door. 

"WAIT!" i heard her say. 


i told autumn what happened, as i hung up and walked into karls room saying juliana was at the front door. 


"karl ik ur streaming right now, but juliana's at the door if you want to talk to that bitch-ass" 

"i dont have a care for juliana can you tell her to leave?" 

"yeah sure" i say 


as i open the front door, i see her standing out there. i tell her to leave, since it was awkward for all of us right now. 


"leave juliana" 

"hah. no." 

"whatever im just going to shut this door on you're fuckin face" 


as i do that, she slid her foot through the doorway. that didn't stop me just there. i push the door even further, causing her to scream and take her foot back out. i started laughing really hard, but karl heard juliana screaming so he came out. 


"i told her to leave and shut the door but she put her foot in the doorway so i kept pushing it until her foot just gave out so" 

"y/n, dude. i meant to just tell her to leave"

"right but she didn't so i shut the door on her. its her fault anyways" 

"true. i think the stream might have heard her. wanna explain to them how you broke someones foot?" 

"heck yes" 


we walk into his room, and i waved towards the webcam. i said my hi's, as i started explaining what happened. 


"and just like that, she left. easy if i can say so myself" 


karl starts laughing, as we both read some chats. karl changed his stream to just chatting, since it was almost like a qna at this point. as we read and answer some, we got a question we normally wouldn't get. karl read aloud: 

"are you guys just friends or are you dating or something?"

"karl, you can answer this one if you'd like since uh i have nothing to say on behalf of that" 

"we havent really talked beyond that currently but" 

i looked at karl, who looked like he was about to explode. not from the pressure or from embarrassment. as if he was hiding something from me. i didn't really care, but it happened a few times through-out the stream 

i looked confused, as if i was asking the chat about it. i finally ask karl what hes been holding in the biggest shit for. 

"karl you look as if your head will explode" 

"what huh?"

"karl, your head is literally massive and is red like a fuckin firetruck" 

"ok well" 

"well what? go on sir. honk" 

"i kinda like you, and ive liked you before new york before love or host" 

"oh well uh,

i guess i can say i like you back.. which is why i chose you to win my love or host"

at that karl ended the stream, as we talked about it more descriptively. we went over whether it should be public knowledge.
