A New Existence

The Beginning

   Everything felt the same as I came home from school. I am half way through my senior year and am trying to get into my dream college to become a successful businessman. Being born in a small but actually quite large city In Central Valley has its perks but it also has lots of disadvantages. The only thing fun around here is the local bowling alley but their are so many times you can throw a heavy ball before it gets boring and I'm not really one to go out anyways. I guess you could say I'm a loser but I'm not really... see it all starts with my parents. My mom is middle eastern and my dad is white that's how I got my name Joseph or Yusuf in the Middle East. My moms very strict, I'm the youngest, my oldest brother moved out and has a good job in the Bay Area while my sis is basically the one with a "actual future" she is going to medical school to become a Cardiovascular doctor. And yea I can probably do that too but I've never been the best student, I'm more of a stay at home and watch movies or play video games typa kid you know!? And even if I did want to go outside my mom won't let me because I guess as the youngest she is most worried about me. So because I can't go outside I use movies as an escape from reality. People like Johnny Depp or Leonardo DiCaprio are my favorites. Though it kind of sucks right now because Johnny Depp is fighting against this devil of a lady who is ruining his career! Ugh! If only I could help him bring his career back! Anyways that's something that would only happen in my dream... right?

   I was wrong, everything changed that night. I went to bed and woke up early for school. When I woke up I felt lighter, see I've always been kinda big not large but like chubby and bulky but today when I got out of bed I felt light. I walked to the bathroom one eye closed and the other half opened when I looked at the bathroom mirror. I didn't tell or scream I just looked in total shock. I already knew who was staring back at me through the mirror. I've see his face countless times on Movies and shows and interviews. The man staring at me was young Johnny Depp, but it wasn't him... it was me. I was staring at myself. But how is that possible. I moved closer to the mirror till my breath was able to fog it up and I touched my face thinking this is a dream. But it wasn't, this was reality and I knew it was. I ran downstairs to my mother. But I stopped in my tracks. "She will scream if she sees me." I thought to myself, so I sent her a text through my phone

-Mom, I'm coming downstairs and I need to show you something. But promise me you won't yell!!

-What's wrong son? Should I come upstairs? I won't yell. I promise.

-No mom I'll come down right now just don't yell!

   I came down the stairs and I look towards her. She was holding a bowl of freshly peeled oranges and when she saw my new face she did just as told her not to do. She dropped the glass bowl and screamed. "'Mom stop screaming! It's me Yusuf!" I said, she looked at me and points her finger and only says, "Captain Jack Sparrow!?" The only words that could come out of her mouth was captain Jack sparrow, she knew who my face was. "Mom! I don't know what's going on but it's me! Yusuf your son! I woke up and my face just turned out like this!!" I told her as I held her arms. She looked at me in shock but I could also see that she believed me. "Son, I know it's you, I know for certain that Johnny Depp is much older now so it's not possible for someone to look like a young him. I also know for a fact that no one came into the house but your father did leave for work because then an alarm would have went off. Yusuf my son, tell me what happen?" I felt my heart slow down and I calmed myself and I explained everything. "What do we do now mom?" I said, right as I muttered those words my sister came down  wondering what the commotion was. She looked at me and said, "Johnny Depp?" My mother explained the situation and my sister was caught up. She decided that the best thing to do was to go to a hospital and luckily she has been interning at one for awhile as a lab assistant. We entered the hospital and got lots of stares but no one came up to us. Maybe they were to confused?

   My mother and I waited in the waiting room as my sister went up and spoke to multiple different doctors when finally multiple different doctors came up to us. One lady in the front of the group raised her hand towards me. "My name is Doctor Janet Avery, I'm the head at this hospital. Your sister has caught us up to speed and we believe we should do immediate testing. Will you allow us to?" I felt a hole in my chest, what kinds of testing? I hated needles but I understood the situation. "I allow all testing" I stated with a sigh. They took blood, did x-rays, took photos, everything you can think of they did it. It was a long and sometimes painful experience but once it was over Doctor Avery stated that I need to go somewhere more built for this type of situation. So the next day I was on a airplane with my whole family, going to San Francisco Medical Center to receive specialized medical evaluation. My brother lived in San Francisco and was caught up on the phone. Once we landed a group of men in suits were waiting for us, they told us they were with the CIA and were their for my safety, I guess news got out. Their was a leak and someone released news that I was or am the "young Johnny Depp" hundreds of photographers were waiting as these agents pushed them away and escorted us to a couple of black SUVs . We headed straight to the medical center, and we're escorted in through a back door. Once we entered another suited man reached out his hand and said, "My name is Agent Michael Smith I'm with the CIA, we understand and have been briefed on your situation, we know that none of this was to your doing but we must get to the bottom of this son what has happen to you is a miracle and has never ever been recorded in history, I'm sorry son but your life will be getting much harder after this." I felt sick, I started sweating and fainted. I woke up in a hospital bed with wires attached to me and such. Agent Smith standing back against the wall near the door and next to me was another man and sitting on the couch was my sister. The stranger points his light in my eyes, "Joseph... Joseph can you hear me?" I opened my eyes and he hands me a cup of water. "Joseph my name is Doctor Richard Matthews, I'll be the head on your case. I promise you Joseph, I'll find out why this happen to you." It really hasn't dawned on me at this moment in what my situation was. I am quite in the body of one of the greatest actors of all time, who is also quite possibly one of the hottest looking males of all time. I chuckled to myself.  Agent Smith spoke, "Joseph, we just wanted to inform you that We have already informed Johnny Depp of your situation and he his coming here, he is in France right now and has a plane set from Paris to New York to San Francisco. He will be here by tomorrow, also his daughter lily Rose has booked a flight from LA to here as-well and should be here within the next couple of hours. Son, get some rest you have a busy week."
