Corpse Husband

29

A few days later I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling  in thought. I'd texted Corpse over the two days but he hadn't replied to anything and he hadn't been able to play Among Us. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what to do, he wouldn't text or call me. He wouldn't even play in the same lobby as me.

But there was nothing I could do, I didn't know where he lived.

The worst part is that I know he's speaking to everyone else. He'd played Valorant and Among Us with the others but if I was playing he never would. He was avoiding me.

I decided to try to text him again but to no avail because the next day he still hadn't replied. I got a text from Poki.

Poki: we're just posting the video, i've checked it a million time and can comfirm ur face is def not in it. thank you again for helping out

Me: haha cool thanks

I sighed and put my phone down, at least she was still texting me.

That night Rae texted me asking if I wanted to stream some Valorant. I said yeah hoping it would take my mind off Corpse.

Two hours later

"Aahhiufwejfbkjebfkugfiubwr," Rae screamed as she got killed.

"Oh my god that was loud Rae," I said

"Oh sorry," she said

"Was it even english?" Leslie asked

"No, Rae never grew out of the baby gibberish phase," I said and they laughed

I shot the person that killed her from behind a wall and we won.

The next round I killed two people before I died but we won anyway.

I bought another gun and equipped it for the next round. I followed Leslie who killed someone before going left. I went right and shot at a person who fell, dead. I heard Leslie squeal. I turned around and she was dead.

I killed the person that killed her.

"Oh god," I mumbled and kept walking round the map.

"It's down to you Y/n," Peter said

"Woah what are you all dead?"

"Yep," Rae said, strangely cheery

I turned the corner and shot at a guy standing in a doorway. I heard someone start to shoot at me but I turned quickly and killed them, one guy left

"Oh my god are you gunna ace this?" Peter asked quietly

"You can do it!" I heard Leslie say

I saw the last guy and crouched quickly, shooting right at him. He turned around quickly but was dead before he even saw me and everyone cheered.

"I need some food now," I said and quickly went to get some chips from my kitchen

"What food do you have?" Rae asked as I started eating

"Pringles,"

"Ooo, I'm jealous," she said

"Hahaaa," I said. They talked as I ate.

"Asmr," I mumbled and ate another chip slowly

"Ooh, I'm sorry could you do that a bit slower?" Peter asked jokingly

I ate another one, very slowly.

"Ohh, yeah," he said and I laughed.

We won that game and started the next one.

"What time is it for everyone?" Rae asked

They all gave times while I checked my clock.

"Just gone two," I said

"Oh my god go sleep," Peter said

"Yeah Y/n you should go get some rest," Rae said just as I died

"Are you sure? I can stay on,"

"No, go sleep," Leslie said

I grunted and said bye, ended the stream and left the game. I sighed and rested my head on the table. I wasn't tired, even if I was I don't think I'd be able to sleep. I put on some music and scrolled through reddit for a bit before going onto my finsta.

I hadn't realised how long I'd been scrolling until I got a call from Rae.

I was confused but picked up anyway.

"GO TO SLEEP!" she yelled loudly as soon as I picked up. So loud I had to hold the phone away from my ear.

"I can'tttt,"

"Yes you can,"

"No I can't Raeeeee you stalker,"

"I'm not a stalker, I just care about my friends," she said

I made a mumbly sound.

"You are a stalker, how the fuck you know I'm still up," I asked while putting her on speaker and resting my head on the table.

"You're on Instagram you idiot,"

I groaned.

"Are you ok? You've been off for the last few days,"

"Everybody hates me Rae," I said dramatically

"No they don'tttt," Her voice changed to a softer tone, "why do you think that?"

"Because they dooooooo,"

"Tell me who made you feel like this and I'll beat them up," she said angry

I chuckled, "you might be good at fighting on Valorant but I don't think real life would be the same,"

"Are you calling me weak?" she acted offended

"Oh no, definitely not, I'm sure you have massive muscles from sitting at a desk all day and beating pixels up,"

"Excuse me I'll have you know I go to the gym!"

 I laughed half heartedly.

"But seriously why do you think that because it's not true,"

"Mmm, then why has Corpse not texted me back for five days?"

"He hasn't texted you?"

"No, and he won't play with me,"

"I'll beat him up!"

I laughed but it turned into a sigh

"Do you want me to ask him about it?"

"No I don't wanna involve you,"

"I know he's been busy working on something, but I don't know what, I only know he's working really hard on it,"

"Ugh I don't wanna talk about him anymore, what've you been up to Valkyrae?"

"I've been trying to get you to go to sleep because it had to be like 5am by now or something,"

"I'm not tired Valkyrae,"

"I'm tired for you,"

"Shush Valkyrae,"

"Don't shush me, Y/f/n (your full name),"

"Ew don't call me that, Valkyrae,"

She sighed, "you're hopeless,"

"I know right!"

"Please go to sleep, it's not healthy!"

"Ok, I'll try,"

"Thank you,"

"Bye,"

"Byeeeeee,"

I sighed and listened to the quiet beep after she hung up. I yawned and laid back on my chair, closing my eyes momentarily but I soon drifted to sleep
