I heard screaming down the hall so I got up from where I was and opened the door to who was yelling and I saw a woman kiss Serena quickly closed the door and put my shoes o my hair covered my eyes. I made sure all the stuff was in my pockets. I proceeded out the door walking past Serena.
"Ew a male." Said the woman who had kissed Serena.
"Josh where are you going?" Serena asked.
"None of ur business kiss your gf some more." I Said as I walked out the front door and closed it behind me. I called a cab, I saw on the curb waiting for the cab. I pulled out my lighter and a cigarette feeling empty and worthless. When I was about to light the cigarette when  something knocked the cigarette and lighter out of my hands.
"I already told you no smoking anymore." Serena said.
"Why care for a male baby he's worthless?" Said the woman standing beside Serena.
The cab pulled up and I got into the cab and closed the door.
"Josh she's my stupid ex I'm not cheating I swear!?" Serena yelled.
I just looked down at my hands and told the driver to drive me to my house, as I sat in the back seat of the cab I cried pouring my eyes out shaking. I wipes my tears from my eyes, my cell phone rang.
"H-Hello?" I Said.
"Josh"
"What do you want Chance?"
"The tournaments in 1 month please come." Said Chance. I shook my head and hung up.
When I arrived at my house I paid the cab driver and walked up to my house and saw a few girls from my street walk up to me and punch me in the face hard and throw me on the concrete.
"Get near our idol again and your DEAD!!" The three of the women yelled. I laid face first on the concrete. I put my hands against the concrete and got up and open led the door to my house and closed the door.

*3 Months Later*
I haven't been doing much no job, no contact with much of people. I just isolate myself and stay quiet, the news seems to think I'm dead, hm stupid I wish I was dead. The home phone rings.
"........."
"Josh you Ok?"
"I'm fine Chance worry about yourself." I Said
"You missed the last 3 tournaments for the girls Amy, Lina, Yuki, Rebecca, and Serena are worried.
"Hm stupid."
"Have you been singing lately?"
"Not since 3 months ago."
"I'm gonna get you to sing you need it."
"I don't need anything."
"Hm I bet either go or I'll have my men go get you and drag your ass."
"Fine." I Said hanging up.
I breathed out and looked around my house seeing used cigarettes and beer bottles all over the floor, I smiled and laid back in my couch.
I fall asleep and in my dream I'm sitting in a pink forest.
"Huh been a while since I was here." I got up from the pink tree and began to walk, I began to see couples kissing and I shook my head and felt something grab my hand.
"Hurts doesn't it?"
"Put a sock in it your dead."
"I'm aware."
"Then why remind me of this?"
"Cause I know your still hurt Josh we had fun."
"Whatever." I Said.
"Locking yourself off again your so weak no one will ever help if you don't let them in."
"I don't need help!?" I yelled.
I jerked up waking up from my dream and heard a knock and I saw two men in black suits standing in the door way.
"Give me 20 minutes." I shouted as I quickly showered and put some clothes on I put black long sleeve, black pants, and a few necklaces around my neck along with bracelets I had been gifted with. I walked outside and the two men lead me to a limo and I got in. The drive was a little over 20 minutes when I got out I saw Chance. He ran up to me and hugged me crying.
"Jeez." I Said pulling him off me.
"I'm sorry I care!" He pronounced.
"Good grief." I Said as i proceeded into the large building and walk over to the stage.
I saw Jess with her band on the stage.
"Ready?" Jess said.
"Give me a minute." I Said as I walked back stage grabbing my guitar I could hear people chanting my name, and I smiled.
"Aawwww your all excited." Said Chance.
"What can I say music always make me feel good." I Said as I walk onto the stage waving at the crowd.
The crowd started to chant "Be Somebody." I smiled and nodded and winked at Jess.
I started to play my guitar as my hair covered my eyes and the whole stage went black as a spot light pointed at me.
"I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times
I'm just a speck inside your head, you came and made me who I am
I remember where it all began, so clearly
I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you created me, something I would've never seen
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me
After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You're the only one who knows, who I really am
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far
And we're all see through, just like glass
And we can shatter just as fast
That light's been burned out for a while, I still see it every time I pass
It was lost in the coldness of my mind, behind a box of reasons why
I never doubted it was there, just took a little time to find
And even when
I feel a million miles away, still you connect me in your way
And you created me, something I would've never seen
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe I hope that they see you and me
After all the lights go down, I'm just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry, how you've become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night, your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You're the only one who knows, who I really am
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far
We all wanna be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody, we're willing to go but not that far
I'm just the boy inside the man, not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again, so many times
When I can only see the floor, you made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe, I hope that they see you and me." I bowed as I finished panting.
"Oh Serena your here?" Said Chance
"Yeah." Serena said looking at Josh.
I saw people in the crowd hold up signs. I read the signs and they read "Silent Scream." I blinked in disbelief and realized they knew about my pain and looked away and saw Jess and her band walk behind the stage. I saw Chance bring me a chair.
"Please." He said.
I nodded and sat in the chair.
"I'm caught up in your expectations
You try to make me live your dream
But I'm causing you so much frustration
And you only want the best for me
