Nothing Was The Same (A Roc Royal Story)

Before the Fame

(( 2 Years Ago))

"I'll miss you Destinee," Chresanto said as he packed his last suitcase.

"I know Chres,just call me as soon as you land in LA"

"I got you Des, are you coming with me to the airport?"

"Yeah, I think I might cry" 

"I promise I'll visit when the first tour is over, and we'll go anywhere you want, I promise you that"

"Okay Chres that's what you say now until you get your groupees then it's good bye Destinee"

"Now you know it's not gonna go down like that"

"Whatever, I know you Chres"

Then his mom called from downstairs,"Chres c'mon we'll be late for the flight to LA"

"Coming Ma!," he yelled as we left the room with his luggage.

We packed everything into the car and drove to the airport, I can't believe my best friend is gonna be famous.

-At the AIRport-

"Flight to Los Angeles, California is now boarding"

"Well that's us," his mom said as we looked at each other and sighed

"It's only a few months," he looked at me directly and told me

"I know but it's gonna be hard without my best friend"

"I'll call as soon as I land"

"Promise?"

"Promise."

We did our signature handshake and hugged for what seemed like we were saying goodbye forever.

[Later that Night]

I had just got out the shower when my phone rang.

"Hello"

"Des! LA is beautiful and the girls are beautiful and the trees are beautiful and our house is just amazing, I freaking love it here and the food is a---"

"Let me guess amazing, ha, what happened to calling when you landed?"

"I had to go straight to the studio and then we had 3 interviews to do, but hey! I'm talking to you now, thats all that matters, right?"

"I guess so, and sounds like you had a pretty busy schedule"

"Yeah and they gave me a stage name today, haha, Roc Royal"

"Roc Royal, huh? I like it"

"So what you doing now?"

"In the hotel room with the guys, we gotta get ready for the start of tour tomorrow"

"Good luck kiddo, god knows you need it"

"Shut up, lol"

"Alright boys, lights out! Roc get off the phone," I heard a lady in the background say.

"Well, yeah Keish said lights out but I'll call you when I get on the bus, that's a definate promise this time"

"Okay later ROC," I said in sarcasm

After I hung up, I got dressed and went to bed.

-A week later-

Chresanto called when he was the bus but it's been a week since then, I was just arriving home from the gym when my phone rang.

It was Chres.

"Yes Chres"

"Wassup Des, I am so pumped, we are dominating and its just like adrenaline"

"Whoopty doo"

"Whats your issue?"

"Nothing"

"So what did you do today?"

"I did some shopping, and then went to the gym"

"Cool"

"Yep"

"Well I gotta go, we're going to this party tonight at Diggy Simmons' crib"

"Since when do you party"

"Since I became famous"

"Wow, well have fun, I guess"

"Okay later"

"Bye"

I sighed and hung up the phone.

-A month later-

It's crazy how your best friend completely changes once he becomes famous. He started sleeping with his groupees and hanging with people that'll influence him badly. He parties almost everynight and I miss the old him. My BEST friend. We only talk like once every two weeks. 

I decided to call him.

It rang

and rang...

and rang...

"Hello"

"Chres?"

"Call me Roc, everyone does and it fits me better, you know?"

"No actually I don't, I miss the old you, Chresanto"

"I'm still the same"

"No your not, you're partying, and becoming rowdy, why'd you even have to become famous?"

"What are you saying?"

"That maybe if you weren't famous, I'd still have my BEST FRIEND, and not ROC ROYAL"

"So you're saying your jealous of my fame"

"Psshh, not at all, I'd just wish you'd keep up with your promises, and stop being all wild and shit"

"Whatever Destinee, your jealous because I left you behind and got a better life, and you know I was gonna fly you out to LA when tour was over but forget that now, I don't need you or anybody back in NY"

"Whatever ROC, I hate you, don't speak to me ever again"

"Hey! You called me"

"Ugh, Bye! FOREVER!"

I hung up the phone. If thats how he felt, thats how it needed to be.

PRESENT DAY

To this day,I still haven't spoken to that boy, but I don't regret it.

but to be honest I miss how it used to be, BEFORE THE FAME.
