Here's Chapter 2! Hope you all enjoy!
The song that is referenced in this chapter is Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley.
4/21/18: I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT PUBLISHING SOONER! Some drama happened between me and my ex who's honestly a huge player and shouldn't be looking for another relationship just to break up and move on days later, and it put me in a really depressed state, but i'm now recovering from it and I feel better than before.
Jonathan woke up feeling very groggy and as if he didn't sleep at all. He checked his phone to see if he had any notifications, and boy did he have notifications. Most of them were from Luke, who was furious about the situation, and then there were some from blocked numbers. He unlocked his phone and went to Luke's conversation.
Jonathan: Hey Luke…
Luke: If I see ANY of those guys i'm gonna do something that's not pretty!
Jonathan: I don't care Luke, it's over. My lifetime career is over
Luke: This isn't right! You shouldn't have to end the career that you've loved for YEARS because of them. What are you going to do now money wise?
Jonathan: I don't know Luke. I don't know anymore
Luke: Brock and I are going to have a "nice" talk to them. They better be ready. Anyways, i'll talk to you later dude. Don't feel down just because of their words. Someday you'll find someone who appreciates you for your sexuality. Ya know, like a guy who actually has feelings for you and won't joke about it unlike that dickwad Evan
Jonathan: Thanks Luke. See ya
Jonathan set his phone down and stared at the ceiling. What was he going to do about his money situation since he based it around his career that no longer exists? He looked around his room to find anything that he could do job wise. His eyes landed on his guitar and pondered for a moment. He could be famous by playing guitar and singing, but where would he start? Having a brilliant idea, he first grabbed his phone and texted Luke.
Jonathan: LUKE! I HAVE AN IDEA!
Luke: WHAT IS IT? YOU HAVEN'T SOUNDED THIS EXCITED SINCE WHAT HAPPENED!
Jonathan: I'm going to start a singing career. I'll first start singing on the streets and work my way up!
Luke: That's a great idea! Get a hat and set it upside down so then you can earn some kind of money. If I see you i'll hand you some money. I'm rootin' for you brother!
Jonathan: Thanks Luke!
Jonathan turned off his phone, grabbed his guitar and hat, and ran out of the house. He found a crossway with a bunch of people on it, set his hat down and started playing.
Wise men say only fools rush in,
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
For I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
As Jonathan was playing, he saw a crowd of people hovering over him with smiles on their faces. He looked at the hat and saw that there was a good amount of money in it. To be honest, he couldn't have been any more happier.
Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life too
For I can't help falling in love with you
For I can't help falling in love with you
As soon as Jonathan stopped playing, the crowd started clapping and cheering him on. He stood up and took a bow.
"Thank you everyone! I hope you all like my playing," Jonathan said. The crowd wanted and encore, and so that's what Jonathan gave them. He sang another song and more people started showing up and putting more money in the hat to the point where it was overflowing. He finished his song, collected his hat, and headed home. He took the money out of the hat and started counting how much he made. It was a total of $3000 and he couldn't stop the smile forming on his face. He picked up his phone, took a picture of the money, and texted Luke.
Jonathan: Made $3000 from singing dude!
Luke: You're going to be a legend. I'm waiting for the day when I get to buy tickets to one of your concerts
Jonathan: I haven't even gotten a record label yet, but i'm happy for making this much money. It was a huge crowd!
Luke: Let that talent go somewhere Del. Let this talent be your dream! I'll talk to you later dude
Jonathan: Okay. Peace out
Jonathan set his phone down and went to make himself some food, still thinking about what happened earlier. If he could do that everyday, he'd make as much money as he made doing YouTube. Sure he still felt bad that he left abruptly, but maybe one day he will go back to his loving fans after this situation is cleared up.
If it does clear up.
Shaking his head to get rid of his thoughts, Jonathan ate his food and went on Twitter. He saw many notification from fans who were upset about him leaving YouTube and he couldn't help but feel guilty. However, what's done is done so he scrolled through his feed. He read through some of the fan tweets and read through some of his blocked ones as well. Having had enough, he set his phone down and made a decision to relax for the next couple of days without technology and social media. Of course, he would only check his phone in case if Luke wanted to hang out or needed something from him. Jonathan then decided to get some rest, feeling tired from the exciting day he just had making music and having people enjoy it so much.
