Johnny's hope

Hopes and dreams

Johnny is a cockney-accented mountain gorilla who is the only one in his family who has always been against crime. He always goes on lookout so he can sing. Singing is something Johnny loves to do but he can only do it alone because if his father knew about his impossible dreams then Johnny would be disowned. Johnny loves his father and his dreams but he can't have both. So instead he stood against the wall singing 'stay with me' by Sam Smith (A/N: Johnny has already done the competition so this is in a new theatre that the story takes place in. With a new character;). He often sang that song as he could relate to the lyrics quite a lot so he always found himself humming it in his room. But Johnny was so busy singing that he never noticed a girl (you will find out who she is later) staring at him. When he stopped he looked around the corner, checking for cops and luckily there was none but then he noticed her. "Can I help you?" "Oh sorry. I just wanted to tell you how nicely you sing. It reminds me of my own voice but you know your male I'm female" "yeah I know what you mean. Are you trustworthy?" "Yes everyone I know trusts me with everything. Why?" "I want to tell you a secret no one but myself knows" "okay go ahead" "my real name is Jonathan. Yeah I know it's so weak sounding. But I tell everyone I meet to call me Johnny. You can call me that too" "okay I can do that. I'm Ellen but you can call me Ella. Do you have somewhere to stay or are you just standing there?" "Eh I'm....waiting on...my dad" "are you okay?" "Yeah just...been waiting for ages" "are you sure?" "Em...yeah...I am" Johnny began to feel different. He'd never really lied this much before and it was taking its toll on him. "Well I gotta go. Got duties and all. See ya Johnny! Oh and before I go here's my number" she handed him a slip of paper with the numbers written in neat handwriting and started walking around the corner. Suddenly Johnny realised something. She said she'd duties to do. Johnny mentally cursed in his mind as he realised she was a cop. "God dang it! Wait gotta tell the others!" With that Johnny reached inside his jacket pocket for his walkie talkie but just as he was grabbing hold of it his father and his gang bashed through the door setting off an alarm. Then the girl Johnny met earlier came back and Johnny backed away from the truck and the scene in fear. He'd never felt scared around any of his dad's other heists so what made this one so different? Was it her? Was he falling for her? That would explain the way he felt when he was talking to her and the way he felt now. It was so confusing for poor Johnny. He then ran. As fast as he could. Not caring where he was going. He just wanted to get away from there.

(Later that day)

Johnny had gone home in search of his father only to turn on the tv and found out he was back in jail with his three uncles. Johnny sighed. Without his dad and uncles he'd no money apart from the amount he saved up for emergencies like this but even that wasn't enough to bail them out. He would need to speak to his dad at the jail. Maybe he would see her there. If not he had her number anyways..
