they get to her apartment complex, Bill turns down the music and goes to turn the car off

"go home, i don't need a babysitter" she chuckles and bill hesitates

"Seriously bill, i'm good" she says genuine and bill sighs

"alright. but if you play any sad songs on stream i will yell at you" he glares and Mandy snorts

"aye aye captain" she rolls her eyes and walks into the building waving bye to bill as she entered

she goes into the elevator and pushes the 4th floor, she sighs and pulls on a few strings from her gloves.

The elevator dings and she walks out. walking to her door, she unlocks it and steps in, the air feels eerily quiet as she pulls her shoes off and walks into her room.

she sighs and gets changed into sweats and an old 3 days grace T shirt

she runs a hand through her hair and puts on her reading glasses, they were square gold metal frames that brought out her freckles. she puts on a black mask, walks to her setup, and pulls up OBS. she puffs her cheeks out in a sigh as she hits 'go live' and starts to play soft music in the background

"good evening or good morning lovelies! welcome back to my insomnia show where i play music until i pass out" she chuckles

"I know I said I would play enchanted, but I wanted to play some songs that I used to listen to in high school first! we'll probably have enough time at the end for me to play enchanted, don't think i'm getting much sleep tonight" she laughs and picks up her bass making sure it's still tuned

" 'what song are you playing first?' lost in you by 3 days grace! then i'm thinking 'Scars' by papa roach" she nods and picks up her guitar pick

"alright" she chuckles. she takes a deep breath and strums the notes she's way too familiar with

I always knew that you'd come back to get me...

she sings strumming lowly on the bass, her voice sounded a mixture of Amy lee and Chrissie Hynde. she looks up at chat and smiles reading the good feedback

she looks back down at the guitar and focuses on that and not the chat. she nods her head and sways her shoulders to the music, laughing a little from nerves.

after she was done she takes a deep breath and looks to chat

"i'm glad you guys like it" she chuckles reaching for her water bottle

she takes a drink and goes to her second monitor looking up the chords to Scars

"i don't know how to play this one from memory so bare with me" she chuckles halfheartedly as she squints at her second monitor

"okay here we go, also volume warning for this one there is a part where i get loud" she smiles and scratches her nose, then fixes her mask.

"okay" she clapped and placed her finger on the first note. "here we go"

i tear my heart open, i sew myself shut..

she strums and bobs her head, squinting her eyes trying to hit the notes in her range. she rocks her shoulders getting into the music and chuckles.

she looks up but doesn't look at chat, she looks at her monitor, then her window, preparing for the loud part

she stops her strumming and squints her eyes as she hits the note then immediately starts playing, rocking her shoulders with it

she strums the last note and lets out a huff

"how was that?" she asks, catching her breath. Taking a drink of water she squints at her chat then smiles

"i should play more songs like this" she nods

a donation pops through and she rests her attention on that " 'How do you drink through your mask?' i don't know, it's easier than to go out of frame and stuff" she snorts and places her water bottle down

3:42 AM

"woo! one more song then i can sleep" she laughs and pulls up the chords to enchanted

"i'm feeding you guys with songs tonight" she shakes her head and strums the chord pattern.

"alright i think i got it" she nods and plays looking at the lyrics

There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles
Same old tired, lonely place...

"please don't be in love with someone else.." she sings and her heart wrenches. She starts to feel doubt about playing the song and her voice breaks. she goes along with it shaking her head and tried to focus on the window and not her stinging eyes

she finishes the song, her fingers sting from holding the strings, she looks up at chat and smiles, her eyes creasing.

"and that is all i have for you today everyone! have a lovely night or an amazing morning!" she waves and hits end stream her face falls as she sees herself go offline

she rubs her eyes and takes her glasses and mask off. she puts her elbows on the table and holds her face

"what the fuck am i doing?" she asks herself and sighs moving to her bed. she lays down and turns her phone off, not bothering to look at her notifications. She stares at her ceiling and races her brain for a solution.

how is she gonna get herself out of this one?
