Playing 'til You Bleed

Chapter 1

*Drake's POV*

Have you ever written and made covers for so many songs that become youtube famous? I have and thats how my life changed...

 

It started on Tuesday, "I can be the happiest person ever," my mother always told me, "You have talent and a beautiful girlfriend." I didnt believe I had talent but that was the day I did a cover for Like A Knife by Secondhand Serenade and posted it. Over 2 days I got more than 1,000,000 views. My girlfriend loved listening to me play guitar and I would play until my fingers bleed, just for her.

Today is Friday and when I walked in, it was hard to deal with so many people were saying I was terrible and good. Many girls tried to ask me out, I should be happy but, Im as happy as can be with Melissa. People told me to play for them because I have guitar practice with my friends everyday so I bring it everywhere. "Drake," Melissa whispered, "I dont like this many attention." Well the attention was for me, "Im sorry..." She smiled, "Its ok." We held hands to class.

This is the pattern of the seating. In front of me was Becky behind me was Melissa and behind her was Jessica. Becky handed me a note to pass down to Jessica so I passed it to Melissa and on the top it says pass it down to Jessica. She opened it and her jaw dropped, "What happened?" She looked mad, "You want to ask out Jessica?!?!?!" My smile obviously faded, "No what are you talking about?" Melissa shoved the paper at my face, "READ IT FOR YOURSELF!" "Will you go out with me Jessica? -Drake" My mouth was opened, "No I... Becky gave it to me to give it to you to give it to her!" Becky stood up, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"I stuttered, "I... Just..." "Sit down class," Mr.Pinn said, "Today we will be learning..." And everything went blank, I had no idea what was happening.

After school I walked home, I had no idea what to say. At home I had a bunch of messages on FaceBook. Then I went to youtube and saw comments by a lot of people and I mean a lot. Then I posted another video for my Melissa me playing guitar dedicated to her.

Then I had to get away from all the PMs so I went to the park and there was a bit too many people than usual. They all told me to play different songs, which I did. It was too many... Then I saw Melissa but she just looked away. I walked to her stopping in the middle of the song. "Melissa-" She interrupted me, "We are through. If you are going to have all these girls over you than. Fuck it. Have it your way, be with them." Then I started playing her a song,

"dream a lot, I know you say

I've got to get away.

"The world is not yours for the taking"

Is all you ever say.

I know I'm not the best for you,

But promise that you'll stay.

Cause if I watch you go,

You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away

Cause today, you walked out of my life

Cause today, your words felt like a knife

I'm not living this life.

Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the-"

She put her hands on my guitar, "No." Then she just walked away.
