Davids pov

Its not easy being the new guy in a band. Everyone always compares you to the guy who left or the other band members still present. I hate every second of it. But who am I to complain? I have an awesome life.....I just wish I had someone to share it with. I, David Christopher Scarzone, am lonely. Honestly I look in the mirror and I think I'm a loser beyond repair. I'm in a band called IM5 and its awesome but.....sometimes its hard. Which is why I'm grateful for my best friend Dana.  He's also in the band. He makes things easier by always being there for me. The other guys of the band, Cole, Gabe and Will are cool too. They welcomed me warmly when I joined and theyve showed me the ropes so the whole thing became second nature. So its been easy except for the fans.

I sigh scrolling through twitter my eyes going blurry as I read more tweets about me.

"Why replace Dalton? He was ten times better looking than David."

"David? He can't even sing. Bring Dalton back."

I sniff wiping at my eyes. Why don't they like me? I did well performing with Toddrick and the guys for Disney Dudez 2 and we were about to perform the third part.  Ive performed two concerts so far and yet they still hate me. My eyes drift to the red cape on the back of a chair in the corner of my room I used in Disney Dudez 2 playing the part of Prince Phillip.

"And I think I'm charming too...." I softly sing then sigh. Who am I kidding? I'm not charming? I'm just Prince Phillip and no one wants him....

The whole situation is depressing. I sigh looking at my phone screen again before sending a tweet.

-I think I'm charming too -

I softly smile and then frown as the comments are flooded within seconds.

"You're too ugly to be charming."

"Quit IM5"

"Bring back Dalton. You're a fake"

"How can you be charming?"

Frustrated I throw my phone across the room and wince as it hits my door. I sigh laying back on my spiderman blanket. I wish I could be like him. He has no worries....other than his identity being discovered. What I wouldn't give to be able to shoot webs and swing through a city.

"David?" I hear a knock at my door.

"Yeah?" I clear my throat trying not to sound upset.

"You alright?" I realize its Cole.

"Yep." Please don't come in....

I groan inwardly as Cole opens the door and peers inside.

"You sure?"

"Yeah just...." I wince as I hear a CRUNCH!

"Oops....sorry man." Cole holds up my now broke iPhone. I sigh. As if things can't get any worse...

"Its alright." I take it from him and toss it onto my bedside table.

"I'll get you a new one tomorrow."  Cole says looking really upset.

"Its fine. I'll go. I needed something to do anyway." I mutter the last part.

"I'll go with you!" He chips in.

"Okay." I really wanted to go alone and have some time to think and reflect but I'll do it later.

"Goodnight David." He slowly closes my door.

"Goodnight Cole." I roll over staring at the wall willing sleep to come. But as I lay here I know my haters are out there plotting against me and the thought makes me cry until my eyes close from exhaustion
