They sat in the car in near silence, only listening to the mainstream radio quietly. Madison held her bag of clothes to her chest tightly, watching the trees pass her by, wishing this situation had gone differently.

Corpse had every right to hate her. She had lost his trust, and she couldn't blame him for wanting her to leave him alone.

As they pulled up to her apartment complex, Madison realized she would have to get her car from the OTV house eventually, but for now she just wanted to go inside and cry in the privacy of her own home. Thankfully, someone had been sober enough to make sure she got her keys and wallet.

"Thank you... for everything." Madison unclipped her seat belt, hesitating before she opened the door and got out of the car. She pulled a $20 bill from her wallet, handing it to Corpse. "That should cover gas, and the water and stuff I used in the apartment... See you around, Corpse."

He looked like he wanted to say something, but didn't. She sighed, shut the door, and began walking into her building.

may be a bad influence but at least i'm fun

are you okay??

yes :))) thank you

if you have such a major platform you shouldn't be posting about getting drunk and doing drugs. you're ruining our younger generation

i'm 22 years old. i'm legally allowed to drink, and never have i done any drugs. if anyone is ruining a younger generation, its the parents who rely on content creators to teach their children morals.

PERIOD QUEEN YOU TELL EM

the funnest of fun

damn right, valkyrae... damn right

when is your next stream?

Corpse hadn't spoken to her in four days.

At first, she just thought he needed time. Maybe a day or two, to get his life back in order from where she had left it. He had promised not to leave her alone or ignore her, but now she had a feeling that was just to get her to stop crying. She hadn't been played so hard in her life, and she didn't know what to do other than cry about it.

She knew she would have to get back on the internet eventually. She knew they would have to stream together again eventually. It was just a matter of time before she was invited into a lobby he was in too.

Madison knew for the first few days, she could handle this like she did last time. She could cry and feel lost and be heartbroken, but life was still going on around her. She refused to be a washed up internet personality.

"Hello everyone! It's been a little minute...How are you guys?" She read the chat quickly, most people saying they were happy to see her back. "Yeah, sometimes ya gotta take a few days for yourself, right?"

"Um... I think we should just maybe watch some videos, or, I don't know... what do you guys want to do?"

The chat started spamming Corpse. She tried to keep her smile up, "Corpse is busy, guys. He can't play or anything.."

She started to watch gaming videos from her friends, commenting on what she thought about different things with her audience. They hung out for awhile, until Madison got incredibly hungry. She closed out everything, finally starting to calm down after hours of faking it.

imessage

effort too
