This is gonna be awesome!
Chapter 15: Zeke's Talent
A couple of hours later, Jojo got on his laptop and went onto WhoTube and searched for SilverZeke. A couple of minutes later, there were 24 videos of Zeke there and to his surprise, his views were on the 10 million range and he wanted to check out which video he wants to see. He clicked on the part where it says, 'Me singing 'You Don't Mean Anything'.
As soon as it comes on, he sees Zeke sitting in a stool in his room and listened to him introduce himself.
"Hey there, WhoTubers, this is SilverZeke here. I'm about to do my rendition of my favorite awesome bands, Simple Who's 'You Don't Mean Anything'. This one relates to me so much because of my dad, so...I'm sure everyone feels the same way when it comes to being pressured. Hope you guys like it."
Then, he starts strumming his guitar and sings his little heart out and Jojo's completely amazed from it.
Maybe, I'm just not good enough for you
And maybe, i just don't wanna be like you
And maybe I just don't wanna know
How low you're ready to go
I'm not gonna change, you can't make me, WHOA
You don't, You don't, You don't, You don't
You don't mean anything to me
You don't mean anything to me
You're what I never wanna be
Tell me, does it feel good to be like you
And tell me, why should I waste my time with you
Cuz maybe you always bring me down
And I'm sick of being pushed around
I'm not gonna change, you can't make me, WHOA
You don't, You don't, You don't, You don't
You don't mean anything to me
You don't mean anything to me
You're what I never wanna be
I know you think you know me
You don't know anything
I know you wanna help me
I don't need anything
Don't tell me where to go
I don't need you to know
You don't, you don't, you don't, you don't
You don't mean anything to me
You don't you dont, you don't, you don't
You don't me anything to me
You don't, You don't, You don't, You don't
You don't mean anything to me
You don't mean anything to me
You're what I never wanna be
He finished it off with one final strum and then, looks at the camera and said, "Well, that's all I have for ya, but I'll have more coming up. So, thank you guys for finding me and thanks for watching. Bye."
Jojo was amazed by his singing, because he's never heard him sing before and when he looked down on the viewing count, he was surprised to see 115,567,093 million views there. He chuckled and said, "This is amazing."
Then, he clicked on his profile and sees that there's a video he posted just now. He can tell because he can see the date on it, meaning that it's posted today. He looks at the title and reads 'One Day: Dedicated to Jojo McDodd.' That one definitely meant that it's for Jojo. He was surprised that he's dedicating it to Jojo and then clicked on it. He sees Zeke's room in his new home in Whoville and he's sitting there on a stool with a guitar and strumming a little bit before introducing himself again.
"Hey, guys. SilverZeke here. You may be wondering why this isn't my room back in Whatropolis. My dad and I moved to Whoville a couple of days ago, so this is my new room now. This video is dedicated to my awesome friend that I met at Whoville High School, Jojo McDodd. He's told me that his dad's the mayor of Whoville and how he deals with the pressure of living up to his father's expectations about being mayor and how he doesn't want to take part in it, but is afraid of disappointing him. And I can relate to it in many ways, because as I said in my other vids, my dad's pressuring me to be a football player, but music's my calling and it's hard for my dad to understand that music is what I want to do in my life. The pressure's so high, you just end up feeling like you want to run away and never come back. I wrote this song when I came home from school and I thank Jojo for the inspiration behind this song and I hope you like it."
Then, he starts strumming the guitar and starts singing it and Jojo suddenly feels like something in his heart just felt warm inside there.
Sometimes this house feels like a prison
That I just can't leave behind
There's so many rules
I gotta follow
Cuz you can't let go
I don't wanna hear it
And I just can't believe it
All the stupid things you say, but
One day
I won't take this anymore
One day
I'll be old enough
To do what I want to
And I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One day
Sometimes I wonder if you know me
Or if you just pretend to care
So tell me are you
On a mission to bring me down?
I don't wanna hear it
And I just can't believe it
All the stupid things you say, but
One day
I won't take this anymore
One day
I'll be old enough
To do what I want to
And I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One day
Go away
Don't look at me
Cuz we're not the same
And you can't do nothing
You can say
That it's not okay
But I'm not afraid
And you can't do nothing
One day
I won't take this anymore
One day
I'll be old enough
To do what I want to
And I won't have to run away
And you won't be there to say I'm not allowed to
One day
One day
Nanana... One day
One day
One day
One day...
Zeke looks up at the camera and asked, "Have you guys ever had that feeling that you can't take so make pressure from your dad to the point where you just want to run away and never come back? That's how I felt in that song and I know Jojo feels that way too. I know some of you guys are in Whoville High and likes to torment Jojo, so for all of you people from Whoville High who's been bugging him, lay off. Jojo's my friend and that's why I wrote this song, because we can't take pressure anymore...especially from our dads. Anyways, I hope you guys like it and Jojo, thanks for being my friend. Thanks for watching and I'll be back with more."
After the video plays, one tear fell on Jojo's face and he really felt like he found a friend-someone he can easily relate to a lot and has the same interests. At that point, Jojo feels as though he's not alone anymore, because of Zeke.
Was that sweet? Do I know how to come up with awesome characters or what? Two songs: 'You Don't Mean Anything' and 'One Day' from Simple Plan. Stay tuned for more of this!
