Feels Like Heaven

Chapter 6 : A Switch of Two Worlds

*Beep beep beep*

He rubbed his eyes sleepily and glanced at his alarm clock. It's 7:30 AM. It's like any other day, but this time he didn't have a class to prepare to. He looked at his phone and saw a couple of messages and missed calls from his handler, directors, and from reporters. He sighed in frustration.

It has been more than nine months since he had woken up from the coma, and a lot has changed. He has become from a nobody to somebody famous. He did not think that he will be living a life of a celebrity. He's been getting endorsements, TV guestings and acting shizzles since he has woken up. At first it was fun and overwhelming, but as soon as he was absorbed into the dirty showbizness, he has lost privacy and he has to be careful with his actions to avoid issues. You'll never know when you'll be a headline of the Tabloids and Entertainment Magazines. He missed his normal quiet life. Damn that Sarah Geronimo for being in trouble! He thought to himself. Truth to be told, he wouldn't become famous if it wasn't for that freak accident. He sighed and went down for his breakfast.

"Morning Ma..." He said grumpily after kissing his mom in the forehead.

"Oh, why is my Baby Boy so grumpy? It's so early." His mom greeted. "Here, sit down, I'll prepare your breakfast."

"Sorry Ma, but I have to go already. I'm going to be late at my 8:30 shoot." He said while looking for his car keys. "Ugh. Where are those car keys?!" He yelled in frustration. He seated in the couch, hands on his face.

His mom approached him and hugged him. "I miss the happy and lively Gerald." His mom whispered and gave him the car key.

"Thank you, Ma." He smiled wryly then kissed his mom goodbye. "I miss him too." He said silently before getting to into his car.

Showbiz life hasn't really been that  bad to him. Other than the no privacy, plastic people and busy schedule, everything else has been fun. He has been meeting a lot of famous people. You get perks from the products you endorse, and you get to see other artists perform for free. Acting and dancing has been fun for him too. Back in college, if he wasn't a basketball varsity, he would have tried dance troupe or theatre arts. Everything else has been good, it's just, ever since he had woken up, he felt like something has been missing. It has been bothering him everyday, for more nine months now. It felt like his heart has died down and won't wake up unless he found what he has been looking for.

*ring ring ring*

"Hello?

"Gerald, where are you? I'm at the location already. Your call time is at 8:30 and it's already 8:20"

"Yes Ms Toni. I'm sorry. I'm on my way to the studio. I'll be there in 5 minutes."

"Ok I'll see you there." 

Gerald sighed as he drive his car as fast as he could so he wouldn't be late on his call time.

Somewhere in America....

I guess I wanted something new in my life

A new key to fit a new door

To wake and see a different view in my life

What I've been waiting for

Dreams like everyone I had a few in my life

Who knew that this one would come true in my life

I knew the moment when you touched me
