I woke up to the sound of my email notification. I groaned slightly, throwing my arm across my eyes. I reached for my phone, clicking it on and glancing at the screen from under my arm.

The email was from YouTube, telling me that Cry uploaded a new video. Opening the app on my phone, I glanced over at my clock. 6:30pm. I realized I slept through lunch and dinner, just as my stomach growls. I got up, taking my phone with me. I trotted into the kitchen, clicking Cry's name on my phone.

I grabbed the peanut butter and jelly, setting it on the table as I loaded Cry's livestream announcement video. It started playing just as I sat down with two slices of bread and a knife.

The video mainly told the viewers what games he was playing that night with his friends. Turned out that he was playing Left 4 Dead 2, Attack on Titan, and Dungeons and Dragons.

I started eating the sandwich I put together as I walked to my room. I turned on my laptop, opening Amnesia. I got my headset again, continuing the story. I found out that I was almost done with the main story. I finished my recording, editing it and uploading it to YouTube. I clicked on my inbox, waiting for the page to load.

I finished my sandwich, almost choking as I noticed Cry's name in my inbox. I squealed quietly, opening the message. My eyes scanned over the words on the screen as my smile got bigger.

Hi, Anna.

Looks like part of your dream came true, didn't it? It's nice to see that there's someone out there who isn't begging me to show my face to them or to reveal who I am. You're one of the few who isn't like that. I suppose you saw the live stream video since you're as big of a fan as you claim to be, huh? Well, I have a preposition for you. You seem like a nice girl, Anna. So how about you join the others and I as a special guest on tonight's live stream? Maybe, if all goes well tonight, this could carry on into the future.

I squealed in delight as I typed back a quick acceptance message, bouncing softly in my seat as I waited for an answer. I refreshed the page after a few minutes, seeing another message from him. I opened it, then typed back a quick message. I ran to my kitchen and opened the fridge, grabbing a couple Monster cans and some snacks that would last me until the first break. I jogged back to my room just as my phone screen turned off. I clicked the home button, seeing the Skype notification. I opened the app, waiting. The friend request shone brightly as I clicked 'accept'.

I smiled to myself as I watched TV for the next couple of hours, thinking about how much fun the livestream would be.
