Darren sits in front of his computer looking through his tweets. He wasn't going to reply to anyone, he didn't want to cause a riot. Smirking to himself, he continued reading.
Something kept catching his eye in his 's.
A video link? Every time it came up it was followed by the hashtag #NotAloneCrew.
Darren wonders what that means, but he isn't intrigued enough to look at it.
After seeing it on his screen more than a dozen times he decides to open it.
He watches the video and listens to a girl, her name is Noeliie, explain what the #NotAloneCrew is.
It touches his heart. All those people became friends because they one thing in common: being his fan.
Then the familiar music starts. His jaw drops at all the people involved in this project.
So many people from all over the world. This was insane.
When the video is over he has tears in his eyes. He never expected that him, or his song, would impact people's lives like that. And to see all these people react in such a positive way means the world to him.
Darren reaches over to get his phone. He has to tell someone about this, he just has to decide who. His decision is made for him when his phone rings. It's Chris.
"Hey Chris! I was actually just going to call you. What's up?"
"Not much, just checking in on you," Chris says, "I was getting worried because you haven't sent me any pictures of your silly shenanigans in a few hours."
Darren chuckles, "Sorry man, I just got distracted by Twitter. I'm going to send you a link to something amazing a bunch of fans did for me."
"Let me guess, it's a mural of a giant Jamaican banana wearing pink sunglasses?" Chris says jokingly.
"Oh, hush you! That banana is one of my dearest friends. Right next to you of course." Darren blushes at his words.
"It's nice to know that I'm better than a stuffed Jamaican banana." Chris says.
After more joking around they finally wrap up their conversation, and Darren checks his watch.
"Coconut water!" Darren exclaims, he's due on stage in two hours.
Darren ran on stage with his pink sunglasses, rolled up pants and scruffy beard.
"Hey guys! Thanks so much for being here!" The crowd screams in response.
"So, like, just before I came out here I watched this amazing video a group of fans called the Not Alone Crew made for me. So I know some, or all of you, are recording this," he pauses and smiles, "so I just want to give a huge thank you to the Not Alone Crew. You reminded me why I got into this business."
Darren picks up his guitar and strums a few familiar chords, "I wasn't planning on opening with this song, but it seems appropriate. This goes out to Noeliie and the rest of the Not Alone Crew. I love you guys!"
