Jack J's POV

I get a twitter notification.

"@laurenkos: @jackjackjohnson I ship #cack...."

Oh shit. I click on the hash tag and see a lot of hate. 

"Lauren delete it. "

"Why?"

"Have you seen the hate?"

"No."

I show it to her and she gasps.

"I'm still not taking it down."

I just shut up and comfort Cadence. We left Sammy at the mall.

I go home.

I continue to get hate. 

I can't take it. I write my notes and post on twitter:

@jackjackjohnson: Thank you Cadence for everything. I love you! @willbleu

I get phone calls but I ignore all of them. I break down. I throw stuff. I break anything. My hand is bleeding from the glass of my lamp... I am so done. But first I want to thank everyone.

@jackjackjohnson: Thanks to all the haters. You put me so far down. Congrats you got what you wanted.

I grab my pills. I put them in my hand and....

Will's POV

I show Cadence that tweet. She freaks out. She runs out the house into her car.

Cadence's POV

I rush to Jacks house. I hope he hasn't done it yet.

I rush in and call for him. I don't hear anything so I search for him. 

I run upstairs to his room. I see him with pills in his hand about to swollow them. 

I knock the pills out of his hand.

"Jack..."

"You need to leave. You don't need me here."

"I do Jack. I need you to be here for me like you were today."

"No. Just fucking leave."

"I'm not doing that."

"Please... I need to go."

"No."

"Cadence..."

"Your coming with me. I need to show you something."

I drag him to my car. I kiss the tears away.

I drive to a studio. 

"Come on."

"I... Cadence you didn't have to this."

"I wanted too. Come on.."

We go in and I push him in the booth. He puts on the headphones and I say "Whenever your ready."

He starts and raps.

"Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Alright check me out!
No I don't claim to know the struggle
'Cause I've never lived it but
Life for me hasn't always been photogenic and perfect
Only I can make my own self determined
Not a parent, a preacher, a teacher, Jesus or verdict could overturn
This will power that I got burnin'
So deep inside of me trying unnecessary like cursive
And no my parents aren't divorced
My pops never vanished
They act like since I've always had granite tops
That I take this shit for granite, dammit
That isn't further from the truth
Who gives a damn if I was brought up astute?
They say
"You don't have the financial problems all these real rappers do and you ain't even bustin' caps in dudes"
And just because I have a passion for rappin'
The world expects me to?
Now that's the stupidest thing that I've ever heard
I'm just gon' flip em' the bird
I'm wakin' up in the early morning hours
A powerful work etchi's so unheard of in this day
And age I'll make my way regardless of the haters hatin'
Envy is a shameful trait
Sometimes I feel there's no escape from the scrutiny and judgments
And really
There's not it's gonna keep comin
As long as long as the youngin' is buzzin'
Ah,
So I just accept it and laugh
And as much as I love the cash it's so much deeper than that
Bein' iconic what I'm striving for while sleeping
I snap into a new reality within my dreams
And then I wake up to the exact same thing
'Cause recently my life is flipped 180 degrees
I was never the most confident of my friends
I remember down in my basement
Sammy, Big Mikes and Biggs
They made me rap for em'
Threatening me with shit if I didn't
Low key makin fun of me as I spit
You know how it is
Probably thinking to them selves
"you better stick to your day job"
But now the jokes on them
'Cause that's exactly what this is
Yeah
Gettin the types of girls I used to not
Kinda goes to show as an example
How I'm used a lot
But no I'm not complaining
'Cause no I didn't got the moral compass of the gods
Honestly sometimes I fuck up
I'm just a human
Sometimes I'm out until the sun's up
But that's just how it is when you're young buck
Livin' on my own only 18
Don't really like the clubs much
I'd rather chill and puff one
But that's besides the fact
Hip hop head claiming I can't mess with em' 'cause this or that
And they're viners and they have young girls for the fans
But man at least those girls love me just for who I am
I, I guess they'll never understand it's aight"

My jaw drops. I never knew he could do that. 

I rush to him and jump up and hug me. I kiss him passionately. 

"I love you. I am always here for you okay?"

"Okay."

We go back to Jack's house. We cuddle listening to music and talking.

The next morning I sign up for twitter, vine, instagram, tumblr and everything.

@jackjackjohnson: Go follow my best friend @cadencecaroline
