Disclaimer: I dont own Drake or Josh, or any of the characters from the Drake and Josh show, and I dont own Drake's songs or any of the words to his songs, and I just made up the producers name, so if there is a producer named Jake Waller, it is just a coincedence. I don not own the song that Drake sings in this chapter, I got the words from one of Drakes websites.
Josh thoughts: I thought Drake was getting better, and I cant believe he jumped out a window, how could he be brave enough to give it all up? That is just so, ugh, who could do that?
Mom and Dad pull in the driveway, and honk the horn, then start walking into the door. Josh and Megan rush downstairs, fighting to get down first. They were shoving and pushing and tripping each other on the way down.
Finally Megan won the race down the stairs, and Josh followed her to Drake and their parents.
Drake: Hello Josh, hey Meg.
Megan: Josh, I am so glad you are ok.
Josh: Me too.
Drake: Thanks Guys.
Dad: Ok, lets let Drake get some rest.
Megan: Drake, I made this for you.
Megan handed Drake a card an ran up the stairs.
Drake went to the couch and waited tell everyone left then before he read it, this is what it said.
Dear Drake,
I love you so much. I dont know what I would do without you. Please dont give up on me and Josh. I would miss you to much, please dont go, we need you.
-Megan
Just then Drake saw water on the card, he then realized it was it was his own tear, and then he felt all his emotions come to the surface, and he realized he would not give up, and never would. Just then Josh walked in and gave Drake a drink of water and an asprin.
Drake: Josh.
Josh: Yes Drake.
Drake: I am so sorry, I promise that I wont do it again.
Josh: Thats what you said last time.
Drake: But I really mean it.
Josh: Oh, ok, if you promise, I mean really promise, I wont give up on you either.
Josh went upstairs and Drake started to feel the pain so he took his asprin and fell asleep.
The Next Day.
Mom: Drake, wake up.
Drake rolled over and rubbed his eyes.
Drake: What?
Mom: Do you feel good enough to play tonight at your gig, or should they cancel it?
Drake: No, I can play, ifI can sit down most of the time.
Mom: I am sure we can arrange that.
Drake: Great , what time is it?
Mom: 2:00, you better get up and get ready.
Drake jumped up and ran up the stairs, even though it hurt, he had to get ready and write a new song too.
3 hours later Jimmy showed up, then they left to go to the gig, and the family soon followed them to the Ball Drop.
Drake walked up to the stage and walked to the microphone.
Drake: Are ya'll having a good time tonight?
Crowd: Yeah!
Drake: This song I call "Everything is gonna be ok" andI dedicate this song to my sister Megan, and My brother Josh.
Everything was going great when he was singing, then he got to the chorus.
I know it's me that's got to change the moment.
Life goes on, I guess I think I've always known it.
Might not be tonight, tomorrow or the next day,
But everythig is gonna be OK.
It's gonna be OK.
It's gonna be OK.
Yeah.
His family started crying and so did he, thank goodness that was the last part of the song because he was crying and he probably would have choked if he would have to sing more.
All the people in the crowd started screaming and chanting his name, and everyone loved him.
He finished the concert and after he was done he walked backstage and there was a producer backstage waiting for him and his band.
Producer: Hello, my name is Jake Waller.
Drake: Hello, what can we do for you?
Jake: Well, actually it is what can I do for you, you see, I watched your preformance, and I thought it was amazing.And so did your fans, and so I was wondering if you would like to accept my record deal.
Drake: What, we would love to, I mean, what do you think guys?
Band: Well, there has to be some strings atached right.
Jake: No strings atached, here, take my card and you think about it, then give me a call.
Drake: Ok, we will.
Jake Waller left and the they all started freaking out, deciding what to do, and then they decided to talk to their parents, then call each other tomorrow.Drake went outside to find his family and Jimmy waitng for him.
Josh: What took you so long?
Drake: Well we went backstage and there was a man named Jake Waller, he offered us a record deal.
Mom: Well what did you tell him?
Drake: We told him we would call him after we thought about it.
Dad: I think that is a good choice.
Drake: Yeah, me too.
Megan: I loved you guys, you were awesome.
Jimmy: Yeah, you guys rocked the house.
Josh: Yeah, everyone was jumping, you were great.
Drake: Thanks you guys.
Dad: So, who's hungry?
Everyone agreed.
Mom: Jimmy, would you like to join us?
Jimmy: No, I would love to, but I have an essay due tomorrow, so I better go finish it, could you give me a ride?
Dad: Sure.
They drove Jimmy home and headed off to get a bite to eat, and then came home and everyone went to bed except Drake. He was thinking about the record deal, and was picturing himself, doing tours and concerts, and having fans follow him everywhere he went.
Drake's thoughts: Wow, I cant believe we got a record deal offer. That is so amazing. I mean, how many high schol kids get a record deal, not many. I wonder if the band really wants it. I mean, of coarse they want it, maybe they just aren't ready for it. I mean, we haven't even finished school yet, maybe they want to finish school first. Well I guess we will find out tomorrow.
Drake fell asleep soon after thinking about that.
Next morning
Josh: Drake, wake up, one of your band members is on the phone.
Drake: Ok.
Drake walked over to the desk, sat down, rubbed his eyes, and picked up the phone.
Drake: Hello.
Band Member: Drake, this is Bradin.
Drake: Oh hey, whats up?
Bradin: Well, I thought about the record deal.
Drake: And Bradin: And.......well.................I want to take it.
Drake: That's great, I will call Sam and Andy and then I will call you back.
Bradin: Ok, bye.
Drake: Bye.
Drake hung up the phone, then dialed Sam's number. It only rang like 25 seconds, but to Drake, it seemed like forever. Finally he answered.
Sam: Hello Drake: Hey, it's Drake, what do you want to do?
Sam: I decided, I want to.
Drake: Yes, me and Brdin want to too. I am going to call Andy to see what he wants.
Sam: OK,bye.
Drake: Bye.
Drake hung up the phone, then dialed Andy's number.
Andy: Hello.
Drake: What do you want to do about the deal?
Andy: I want it, what about you and the others?
Drake: We all want it, so I guess we can go get it.
Andy: Great, I am going to go tell my parents, bye.
Drake: Bye.
Drake hung up the phone and ran downstairs, rushing so fast, and screaming his way down.
Mom: Drake, what is the matter?
Drake: We are going to take our record deal!
Mom: Great honey, so you are going to start after school right.
Drake: Well............we can have school while we travel, they have special teachers for that.
Mom: Ok, but if your grades go down its over.
Drake: Allright, I got to go call Jake.
Mom: Allright, but I get to go to the meatings with you.
Drake: Ok.
Drake ran to the phone and dialed Jakes number.
Jake: Hello.
Drake: Hello, this is Drake Bell, you came to my concert last night.
Jake: Oh, yes so do you come up with an answer.
Drake: Yes, we did, and we have accepted your offer.
Jake: Great, well I need you and your band to come to my office.
Drake: Ok, when?
Jake: Today.
Drake: Today, what time?
Jake: As soon as possible, just come to my office as soon as posibble, my address is on the card.
Drake: Ok, bye.
Jake: Bye.
Drake hung up the phone and walked over to his mother.
Drake: Mother Mom: Yes.
Drake: Well he wants to have a meeting with us.
Mom: When?
Drake: Today.
Drake's Mom looked over at him.
Mom: Today, what time?
Drake: Right now.
Mom: Call the band and I will take you up there ok, now go get ready.
Drake: Thanks Mom.
Drake gave his Mom a kiss on the cheek, and ran up the stairs. He told everyone in his family, and called the band and told them he would pick thwem up so they could go to the meeting, and they all could come. Drake got ready, and got hisguitar all ready and tuned, and left early to stop at the guitar shop. He went inside and sure enough Jared was there.
Drake: Hey
Jared: Hey
Drake: The gig went good.
Jared: I know, I was there.
Drake: Oh, were we good?
Jared: Heck yeah.
Drake: Oh, that's good, well at the concert, we got a record deal.
Jared: That's great, so did you come to say good bye?
Drake: Yeah, I will be back though, I'm not leaving yet.
Jared: Well just incase you dont come back, take this.
Jared handed Drake a guitar pick, it was a glowing orange color.
Drake: Thanks, well I got to go.
Jared: See you on TV.
Drake laughed.
Drake: Ok, bye.
Jared: Bye.
Drake left and went back to the car, and the headed for the meeting. They drove for about an hour, when finally they got there. They walked into the huge building and signed in at the desk and sat down in the chairs, waiting to go in to the meeting. About a half hour later, they were called into the office. They walked in and sat down.
Jake: Hello, I am glad you could make it.
Drake: So, what do we need to do?
Jake: Well, all I need is your signatures, and your band name, and I need to know when you can move.
Drake: Move where?
Jake: Well to L.A of coarse.
Drake: Why do we have to move there?
Jake: Well you dont think you are going to get famous here did you?
Drake: Well, I just thought we could stay here for a while.
Jake: Oh, you will be back here to visit in six months or so.
Drake: Six months!
Jake: Yeah, maybe sooner, maybe not. So, are we going to sign or what?
Drake: Guys, do you want to sign?
Andy: Sure, but, as long as we can call it quits anytime we say so.
Jake: Sure, you are the stars, not me.
Drake: Ok, lets sign.
Mom: Wait, I get to see this first.
Drake's Mom picked up the contract and read it over, then she nodded, so everyone signed.
Jake: Great, when can you leave?
Drake: Well, give us a week.
Jake: Great, I will send you your tickets, then I will see you in L.A.
Drake: Great.
Jake: Goodbye.
Drake: Goodbye.
Drake and his band and his Mom walked out and looked at each other.
Mom: Drake, are you sure you want to leave?
Drake: I dont want to leave, I just want to be famous.
Drake ran to his Mom, and hugged her for what seemed like forever, then they started to cry.
Drake's thought's: I want to be a rock star, but do I have to leave home to do that? I guess I saw it coming, just never really realized it. I dont want to leave.
Mom: Drake, I guess we all have to leave home sometime in or life. I just never thought you would leave so soon.
Drake: I know what you mean. I dont want to leave, but.
Mom: I understand.
His Mom started crying, and couldn't stop. Drake could feel her tears rolling down his shirt, and then he felt his own tears running down his face. Then they all headed out for the car, and drove off. They droped everyone off at home, and headed home for themselves. When they got into the house, Josh, Megan, and thier Dad had made a cake, and decorated the house for a party, celebrating Drake's record deal.
They had cooked Drake's favorite food, and best of all, got him a brand new green electric guitar. Drake had been wanting that guitar for a while, but never saved up his money. It was eight hundred dollars, so he probably would have taken a long time to get it, if he ever did. When Drake saw the guitar, tears came to his eyes because he was so happy. He ran to it and picked it up, and started strumming a song to try it out, then set it down and ran towards his father, and grabbed him and gave him a huge hug.
Drake: Thank you everyone, I love it so much.
Megan: Well we love you so much, and we dont want you to leave, but it would make me more popular at school to have a rockstar as a brother.
Everyone started laughing.
Dad: When do you leave?
Drake: In a week.
Dad: What, well we better celebrate and have a good time then, and enjoy the time we have with you before you go.
Drake: I will be back to visit soon.
Josh: But, you are leaving for sure?
Drake nodded his head, and another stream of tears rolled down his face.
Josh: Ok, lets party.
They all had cake and talked untill 10:00, and they all cried a bit, and they all laughed a bunch. Finally they went to bed except Drake. He played his guitar for a while, making up some songs.
Josh's thoughts: I sure am going to miss hearing Drake play the guitar at night. Sure it kepp's me up at night, but hey, it is good music. But, I really am going to miss Drake. Why does he have to go? I mean, he hasn't finished school yet. I can't believe that Mom and Dad are letting him go, without finishing school.
Josh fell asleep, untill Drake started a fast song, that woke him up. Josh looked over at Drake.
Josh: Drake, can you play a little softer, I am trying to sleep. What time is it anyway?
Drake: It's 4:30.
Josh: What, your still up?
Drake: Im just thinking.
Josh: Well I am going to bed. Good night.
Drake: Good morning.
Josh: Whatever.
