IRL !

things had gotten worse. without the warm blanket of denial megan had wrapped herself in before, she was left shivering in the absolute trepidation of her own relationship. at the end of the day, it wasn't her relationship, it was his – lucas's.

she'd accepted that. she knew she was in a terrible relationship, she knew that she wasn't safe being with lucas. she knew but she couldn't get out. she was absolutely petrified of him and she couldn't get away.

getting out of bed each morning had become an effort, more so than the usual desire to stay under the warm covers. she just didn't want to get up and face it all.

she felt more isolated than ever. no one knew they were back together. she was lying to her family and friends and the only person who she could talk to about this was the cause of her pain.

megan cried herself to sleep almost every night, she wasn't eating enough and she walked around like an empty shell with glazed-over eyes.

she was sitting zoned out while she was meant to be coding when she got a discord notification that someone was calling her.

DISCORD !

→ tubbo added friedmeggs to the group
📞 tubbo started a call

megan furrowed her eyebrows and pressed join apprehensively, "uh, toby? hello?"

"megan!" the boy exclaimed in excitement, "hi!"

"what's up, tobes?" she smiled at the sound of his voice; a brief light in what felt like a never ending darkness. "wait, who else is in this call?"

"niki and phil," he told her, "guys, this is megan."

"i heard," phil chuckled at the boy, "great to properly speak to you. since tubbo didn't mention, he's streaming right now, just so you know."

"oh! okay, and heh, thanks for chatting to a stan like me on your stream," megan giggled, relishing in the distraction the call was providing, "and hi niki! it's so great to meet you! i've heard lots about you."

"it's great to meet you too! i'm really excited to be on a team with you," the girl's soft voice sounded through megan's headphones.

"wait, team? we're on a team together?" megan blurted out in confusion.

phil, niki and toby all burst out laughing.

"don't you check twitter?" toby asked through his giggles.

"i've... uh, been offline the last few days," she pulled up twitter and saw the teams on the mcc account, "oh damn, this is the best fucking team ever!"

"heck yeah it is!" phil cheered.

"we were wondering if you wanted to practice," niki informed the other girl.

"yeah, sure," megan smiled, "i know what the games are 'cause of tommy... i mean, and toby and wil, but i've obviously never played any of them."

"it's only my second mcc, don't worry," niki reassured her.

"my third," toby chipped in.

"nah, mate, i'm a fucking sensei at this shit," phil boasted, "i've been here since mcc 1."

"you've been here since minecraft mondays, mr minecraft," megs smirked, "so you better pull your weight, after all you did invent minecraft."
