So Far Yet So Close | HVL Fanfic

(7) Reveal and Realization

AROUND 9PM

LILIA'S POV

The live I had with Van Lith ended two hours ago. I just sat in my room and watch some DC shoes for two whole hours. But now, I'm bored again.

And I have a crazy idea.

I went on tiktok to stream my PvZ gameplay. I would've played this by myself, but sometimes I have random thoughts in my head that I want to share to the world even though it shouldn't be shared at all.

"Hi guys. I'm going to play PvZ and say a lot of random shenanigans. And... I don't know. Enjoy I guess?" I told everyone on the live before starting to show the PvZ screen.

When I was just about to, someone whom I didn't expect joined. I thought she was only active on instagram.

@haileyvanlith joined.

@icanswitch511: yoooww hvl's here!!!
@hailsvanlith: and she's here too😭

"Van Lith, I'm going to stream my PvZ gameplay. Wanna be Co-Host?" I asked Van Lith

@haileyvanlith: Plants VS. Zombies? Yeah sure.

I then invited for her to be on the live with me and she accepted.

VAN LITH: Hii!!

"Hello."

VAN LITH: So what am I gonna do here? Just watch you play?

"Yes. And I also need someone to talk to while I share my random thoughts. I wouldn't be able to see the comments, so..." I requested.

VAN LITH: Are you sure about this?

"Yeah, why?" I assured her, but now I'm curious on why she doesn't think so.

VAN LITH: I'm just surprised you're not picking "me time" like you always do.

"Because I'm enjoying your presence." I confessed to her.

VAN LITH: Are you a 100% sure? Or are you saying that to please me? Cause if you're uncomfy, I can leave.

"No, no. I want you to stay here. I like talking to you."

VAN LITH: You're not lying?

"Yes. If I didn't want you to stay, I would've kicked you out by now." I joked. "Please stay with me. You're pretty chill." I pleaded.

VAN LITH: Okay, okay. Just wanted to be clear because you always say you like being alone.

"I'm not that much of a loner!" I complained to her as I hear her laugh.

@allhaileyvanlith: I lowkey feel like I'm thirdwheeling
@angreese: Am i interrupting smth rn😭

I then started streaming my screen, and clicked the game. As it was loading, I asked all of them a question, "Yow. I have a question. Do y'all think a zombie apocalypse has a possibility of happening?"

VAN LITH, giggling: What? That is such a random question.

"No, it just came to my mind because of the game." I defended my question.

VAN LITH, laughing: Comment said you're a nerd.
VAN LITH: But to answer your question, I don't know. Maybe there is?

Throughout the whole game, I was communicating with both HVL and the fans. It was fun. Van Lith and I laughed, joked, and asked survival questions with everyone. She was right. The fight that happened on the SEC Championship was a blessing in disguise for me. Because without it, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to meet her. She's one of my chat buddies now, and I am grateful for that. I'm really glad I befriended her.
