Autumn's POV
I still can't believe that I'm going to Vidcon, but I have a few months to get used to the fact, and Vidcon was in 3 months. I was still bouncing with excitement when we got home, and bounced to my room, Toby chucking behind me. I intended to pay him back once I sold my novel, but he refused, saying that eventually, I would pay him back through videos. It made no sense to me, but whatever.
I wished that time could skip here like it does it my stories, but sadly it couldn't. I heard that Olga, and Jess were both going, even though I hadn't met Jess, I had a feeling that I would be hanging out with them at Vidcon. I anticipated seeing my friends again, but didn't tell any of them I was going, so I could surprise them.
The days seemed to drag on by, but I had stuff to do. I stayed up late at night after a long day of recording video games with Toby, and wrote. I hadn't slept for three days, so today, I did something I never did before.
"Toby, I don't want to record today." I said, looking at my feet as I stood at the kitchen, wearing the same clothes I had been wearing the day previous, because what was the point changing when you never slept?
My brain was all messed, convincing me that not changing is natural. Toby looked at me, tilting his head. His soft brown eyes searched my face, seeing the dark bags under my eyes.
"Autumn… What's wrong? Why haven't you been sleeping?" Toby asked, sipping his coffee. I shrugged.
"I had to do work… But I wanted to play video games with you… I-" Toby cut me off.
"Why didn't you just say no?" He asked, and I looked back at the ground.
"I… I can't say no to you… Or the Audience." I shrugged again, blinking and trying not to fall asleep on my feet. Toby seemed to notice that I was tired, when I fell almost to the floor. Thankfully though, he had put down his coffee, and caught me before I hit the floor. My brain was trying to kill me. I was sure of it.
"Let's just get you to bed." He murmured, and I nodded sleepily, as he picked me up gently. I was seriously too tired to stand, but it's not like I was complaining. He put me in my bed, and pulled the covers over me, and left the room, turning off the light. I couldn't sleep though, as I felt too guilty, I felt like I was letting Toby down. I promised myself that I would only have a quick nap, and then get up and record with Toby. But my body refused. I groaned, and rolled over, staring at the wall. I needed to email my dad, I had been meaning to. I needed him to send my posters. Toby had given me one to make the room walls not as boring, but it's was only one poster. I had brought a few with me, but only my Hunger Games, and Marianas Trench one. They were still tucked away in the closet for some reason. My brain focused on that, so I got up, and tried to put them up in the dark, not wanting to alert Toby that I couldn't sleep. While trying to thumbtack them to the wall, I accidentally cut my finger. I hissed quietly, and looked around for something to stop the bleeding. I found a cloth in the bathroom, and quickly put it on the cut, shivering, even though it was quite warm in the house.
"How did it get so damn cold!?" I said out loud to myself, then turned off the bathroom light, and went to lay in bed. Thankfully, my brain thought that I had been in enough torture for the day, and let me sleep.
Sorry for the short chapter, I know they're happening a lot lately, but a lot of stuff is happening in my life right now, and I just can't find time. But I suggest that you all listen to Stuck In Your Radio. They're an amazing band, based off you tube kind of, and I just think they have really good music! (My favourite song is Slyfox and the Curious Cat! 3) Okay, bye, hope I get more reviews! *Fingers crossed!*
