The Actor & The Singer
A/N: this is a new story about Jake (my OC from dorks) along with Erica, read it, review it and enjoy.
My name is Jake Dallas and this is my story. Two years ago a somewhat friend of mine named Erica started singing, we were assigned a project for a class that expresses music, we called it 2013. She was a senior and I was a sophomore. Our video was pretty good and a lot of our class liked it. Present time, 2015 I'm graduating high school in a few days. Erica is still trying to sing and write songs. While for me I want to be an Actor. I came here from the United States, state of Virginia to be exact due to my father looking for a better job. He ended up getting one. When I told my parents what I wanted to do, and not go to college they backed me up completely. Erica's heading to Hollywood, Ca to try and start there. My telekinesis that I got two years ago has really helped me a lot so far. Not in acting but in other things like cleaning my bathroom or vacuuming my room. So that's it for today.
I shut off the video camera and tossed it on the bed. I'm hoping maybe documenting our trip to California will be a good thing. Personally I wanted to go to New York and get a start there but I'm taking my chances with Erica and following her to California. Today is June 14th, 2015. I graduate in 2 days. I've been working overtime and my local market for a few extra bucks. It's been going well so I'm gonna keep doing it until the day I graduate because we're leaving the day after. That night there is going to be a huge going away party. Not just for me and Erica but for Benny, Ethan, and Sarah. Benny and Ethan are going to a college not too far from our neighborhood while Sarah is going to New York to be a model. I don't think Ethan is too happy with him and her being long distance but I think it will be a change for them both.
Originally I did not want to go with Erica to California, I wanted to go with Sarah to New York and see what's there, maybe check out Broadway. Sarah doesn't have enough money for one more person so I figured I'd go with Erica. In high school I was only thinking of graduating, but damn; it got here quick. I wanted to go into the military after graduating but a few months ago I had this strange dream that I walked into a building during a casting call and tried out, not expecting much and I ended up getting the part. At least with acting, if I make it big I can get money, be famous and not have to worry about anything but family, friends, bills, and living my life to the best that I can. I doubt that I will make it big though, I don't know what my future hold's but I do know who holds it and that is God. That dream that I had, I took it as a sign. So since then I've been following it.
Erica has gotten better and singing, her voice doesn't crack at random times and her guitar skills have improved a lot. Benny and Ethan, my two best friends since high school. They were shocked when I told them I wasn't going with them to college but their going to support me if I needed a dollar or two and maybe words of advice. Erica still calls us "Dorks" which is kind of odd since we're graduating and I don't think dorks applies to people who have graduated, just like being popular, it won't matter after high school. My only concern right now is making it to Hollywood, CA. It's gonna take a few days to get there. Me and Erica have decided to switch it up while on the trip, she'd drive some while I sleep and I'd drive some while she sleeps. We've already been packing up the car with food, since last night. Just junk food right now, we'll save the better stuff like bread and shit like that when we leave. My parents have put enough money into my bank account to get a small apartment with Erica, I don't know how this is going to work out because we're gonna be sharing it while pursuing our careers. I won't mind sharing it with her as long as she can control her blood cravings. When we get there we're gonna get a small apartment, that is decent and not infested with anything and furnish it. Then whatever money we have leftover we're putting that into a shared bank account. While were there, we're both gonna get part time jobs so we can pay off the apartment bills and car bills along with other stuff.
This could go good or it could go bad. One of could make it, the other couldn't. No matter what happens though we've both said that we'd look out for another. Though she's 20 and I'm 18. But let's get this show on the road. My clock read 11pm. So I gotta get some sleep. Because tomorrow me and Benny are hanging out with everybody and getting everything set up for the party.
A/N: hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter to the new story. Don't forget to leave a review and tell me what you think.
