Jack was lying in his bed, tired of everything…
“Thank you very much for being here! You are the best audience ever!” Said Jack in front of ten thousand people.
The audience was screaming and shouting his name. They all raised their hands and showed V with two fingers. That symbolized snail’s tentacles. No one in reality knows that, not even the members of the band, but in Jack’s head everyone uses it.
“Okay, okay! I guess that we can play one more song?”
The audience started to scream so loud that Jack couldn’t say anything more because they wouldn’t hear him. After a while he finally could say something.
“Okay, we will play one more song… We don’t play it very much, but it is one of my favorite songs and the first song I wrote. It was on our first album… It’s “Run with me”!”
The audience started to sing together with him and Jack almost started to cry from happiness. But in reality, they didn’t publish any album, and they just once played “Run with me”. Guys from the group didn’t like it very much.
“That was amazing! Our tour is soon to be finished, and we almost visited the whole western Europe!” Said Nick.
“Yeah, this was a great experience, I hope we’ll have more concerts in Europe in the future.” Added Fred.
Jack and Kevin spoke to their manager about the next performance. They will make even more performance after this tour. Then they went to the hotel room where Nick and Fred were.
“So, Nick, do you feel sorry because you are not a chef?” Said Jack ironically.
“Very funny, hahaha. But I have to admit that you were right all the time, I should have been more loyal to the band, sorry Jack, it won’t happen again, I promise!”
“It’s ok bro, I forgive you.” As he said it he hugged Nick.
Kevin and Fred started arguing (just like they always do in reality).
“Fred you’re acting like a child! Just admit that I am more popular than you!”
“I am better in everything than you, I am better in sports, in school, and the most important, I am better than you in music! The only thing you are better than me is pretending that you are not a loser!”
“Shut up! You stupid idiot! When people see us they ask me for an autograph and to picture with me, not you, why don’t you tell them that they want a picture with a loser? Oh, wait a minute, I know why! Because no one cares about what you think!”
“Wow easy guys, calm down we all are excellent and popular, you are brothers, don’t go arguing like that. After all, no one would be here today if it wasn’t for Jack.” Said Nick.
“Thank you, Nick! I really appreciate it when you say it.” Said Jack proudly.
“I’m sorry I said those things to you, Fred.”
“It’s alright, I’m sorry, too.”
After a few hours, they were laughing and drinking. And then fell asleep, and so did Jack in reality.
His dream wasn’t so great as his imagination was. He dreamed Nick goes to L.A. and Kevin and Fred decided to leave the band because of it. He was sad and alone, with no one near to hear him, to support him. He was alone.
Jack sometimes really feels like he is alone in this world, even though he is always with someone, no one could understand him. Sometimes he feels that Kevin understands him, but Kevin just understands how it is when no one understands you, but he didn’t understand Jack.
The alarm woke up Jack. It is Saturday morning, today they need to play at the wedding.
