Before the chapter starts I want to thank BlazetheDragonite, Jazzy & Guest for their comments!
So... I had the chapter ready all day actually, but it was so hard so check it again for mistakes. I can't concentrate right now. Not since I saw Adam's tweet. Just check it out and leave him some nice words. It's killing me to see him like that. Srs. I'm so worried right now.

Chapter 1:
Confusion

The talk was very short.
Mr. Murphy simply invited him to a personal meeting here in Seattle.
Nonetheless Adam was so shocked, that he had to sit down the second they ended the phone call.

His hands were still shaking, as he put his phone down on the table and his head on his knees. His sitting position on the sofa made it hard for him to breathe properly, but at the moment he couldn't care less. Adam had to collect his thoughts because he feared that his panic wasn't completely unfounded. And if that was the case, they had to react quickly.

So first of all:
Microsoft bought Minecraft.

Everyone had anticipated it already, they had feared it, but none of them had thought that it could actually get real. But now it was valid, the deal's been done and no one knew how their future would look like.
In a pessimistic moment Adam thought about the well-known 'What if…?' and groaned painfully, as he imagined himself working in the same place again as before his YouTube career. Never again, he told himself and stood up abruptly. Black spots danced in front of his eyes, he got up too fast, but after a few seconds of standing completely still they were gone. He had to focus his thoughts again.

Second:
Microsoft called him just a few hours after the deal was done.

They had something planned out since the beginning of the negotiations. Whatever it was, it obviously had to do with the youtubers. So why did they call him of all people? Did they saw him as some kind of leader? Adam didn't like the thought, but his amount of subscribers could have put an idea into their heads.
What were they expecting him to do? Should he influence the others and convince them to give up their channels in a peaceful way? Another thought occurred to him and Adam got even paler than before. Maybe he was just the first to disappear. The most subscribed Minecraft-Youtuber. It would be a very effective way to scare the rest off.

He nearly got a heart attack as the phone rang again.
Two seconds later he was already out of the room and sprinting up the stairs to his own. He didn't care about who was calling. The thought alone was enough to scare him off, that it could be someone from Microsoft again and right now he needed to concentrate. The coming decision he had to make – whatever it actually was about – could decide about his future.

As soon as he arrived in his bedroom, he closed the door behind himself. The ringing of the phone disappeared and just now he dared to breathe again. Even though the darkness in the room had been comforting to Adam before, he couldn't bear it now. Abruptly he rushed over to the windows and opened them, after he drew the curtains aside. The cold and clean air outside was refreshing and eagerly he gasped for air. Due to the end of the summer the temperatures dropped every day, but right now he didn't mind at all.

For a moment Adam closed his eyes and leaned against the window frame. Suddenly the break-up with Alesa felt like it happened ages ago. It still hurt pretty badly nonetheless, but currently there were other, bigger things on his mind. He didn't want to admit it and something inside of him screamed at Adam for even thinking it, but for now it just wasn't as important. And then another thought hit him.

Third:
He had to take at look at twitter.

It wasn't just because of the break-up. The fans were probably going crazy about it and he feared all the hate-mails, but he had to check the accounts of his friends immediately. Maybe they were called as well. Maybe it wasn't as bad as he expected.
Hesitatingly Adam went to his night stand and picked up his mobile phone. The screen lit up. He had several missed calls and messages. Friends. His family. He had to deal with it later. Now was not the time.

Twitter opened.
The new messages he'd received were countless.
Before he even got the chance to think about looking them up, his fingers had already begun to scroll down. New video, new video, random stuff… Then he saw the first tweets.

I really hope that Microsoft sees the content creators YouTube/Twitch/modders & others as asset to minecraft community not a burden.

I think it's good that Microsoft bought minecraft, it could lead to great updates and more exciting stuff.

I knew something was up with Mojang tightening the EULA and canceling Minecon this year. Hopefully Microsoft caters to the community.

They had not a single clue about what was going on behind the scenes. Not a word about a call or something suspiciously going on. Nobody knew anything. So should he make the beginning?
Nervously Adam glanced up from his phone. He was sitting on his bed, pressed to the wooden head of it and breathed in the fresh air again. Would the guys from Microsoft chop his head off? They had no reason to do so, right? It was just a phone call, no negotiations, no warning, no secret stuff as far as he knew.

Screw them.
His fingers rushed over the display as he typed in a short message.

Somehow he had to get rid of this tension, before it was killing him. It was too much to bear it alone right now and to be honest he couldn't care less about their reaction. Maybe they would even reply to him and show the world, what really was going on.

Seems to be more srs than you guys thought. Just got a phone call by a certain company. -at- tpemurphy

His fingers were shacking as he put down his phone onto the mattress. During the minute it took him to go to be bathroom and to come back he'd already received a ton of messages. Fans were flipping out - he should've thought about his choice of words beforehand - and some of the guys had replied as well. Even someone he didn't expect to.

Before he could change his mind again, Adam got up and into his computer room to start said program. If they were really planning something against the Youtubers, they had to prepare. No matter what happened, Adam was sure of one thing.
They wouldn't go down without a fight.
