**Chapter 1: A Night to Remember**

Part 1

I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as Silky drove us back to our hotel after the streamer prom. The music was still playing in my head, and the laughter of our fellow streamers still echoed in my ears. I had a great time, and I was glad I got to share it with Silky. As we pulled up to the hotel, I turned to him and said, "Thanks for tonight, I had a blast." Silky smiled and replied, "No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed it." Before I could ask to stay with him, Silky spoke up, "I should get to my room, it's getting late and my flight is early in the morning." I needed an excuse to go with him, I couldn't just ask to go to his room. "Did you pack any lotion, I forgot to and I'm a bit ashy," I spoke, trying to sound as innocent as possible. Silky nodded, "I do, follow me to my room, it'll only take me a minute to grab." I followed Silky to the elevator and to the top floor of the hotel. Wait a minute, the top floor of this hotel was where the king suites were, did he plan on me coming to his room, and that's why he booked a larger one? I was excited at the prospect. Once we reached the door to Silky's room, Silky knocked on the door before opening it with his keycard. That was strange. Silky entered and held the door, and I followed into the room. As I entered, I was taken aback by what I saw. Jason and Adapt, two of the Faze members I had met at Silky's house, were cuddling on Silky's bed. My eyes widened in shock, and I felt my face heat up with anger. What was going on here? Silky didn't seem to care at all, as if this was normal. Jason and Adapt were both smiling, and they seemed comfortable with each other. But what really caught my attention was the age gap between them. Jason was 21, and Silky and Adapt were both 28. That was a 7-year age gap, and it made me feel uneasy. "Ryah, what's wrong?" Silky asked, noticing my shocked expression. I took a deep breath and tried to compose myself. "What's going on here?" I asked, trying to keep my tone neutral. Jason and Adapt exchanged a glance, and Silky walked over to me. "Just hanging out, Ryah. We were just catching up," Silky said, putting his arm around me. But I wasn't buying it. I knew what I saw, and it didn't sit well with me. "You're dating Jason and Adapt?" I asked, my voice rising. Silky's expression changed, and he looked uncomfortable. "It's not like that, Ryah. We're just...close friends," he said. But I wasn't convinced. I turned to Jason and Adapt, and they both looked guilty. "You're 28, Silky, and you're dating a 21-year-old? That's a 7-year age gap. Don't you think that's a bit...gross?" I asked, trying to keep my tone calm. Jason and Adapt looked at each other, and Silky's expression turned defensive. "It's not gross, Ryah. We're happy, and that's all that matters," Silky said. But I wasn't buying it. I thought about all the times Silky and I had flirted on stream, and how I had assumed he felt the same way about me. But now, I wasn't so sure. Was he just using me for attention, or did he really care about me? "I need to talk to you guys about this," I said, my voice firm. "This can't just be swept under the rug. We need to discuss the implications of this, not just for your relationships, but for Faze as a whole." Silky's expression turned serious, and Jason and Adapt looked at each other nervously. I knew I had opened a can of worms, and I was ready to see where this conversation would go.
