Not Me//Jorbyn

Chapter 2

Why Don't We. That's the name of the band. My band. The band I'm in.

That's so surreal.

We met up pretty much everyday. We didn't really know were to start at first but we eventually officially made the band.

Daniels brother, Tyler, agreed to be one of are mangers. I'm glad since I already knew him.

I wanted talk to Daniel about me being in the band but I haven't really gotten the chance.

That's what I'm going to do today. I'll just pull him aside and just say it.

Come on you idiot you can do it. You better.

I got to his house and knocked on the door as usual.

Zach was the one who answered the door though.

Oh gosh. Don't do anything stupid. Just say hi.

"Hey Zach." I said.

"Hey Yonahhhhh come on in." He said and let me in.

That's what Zach likes to call me. Yonah. I like it.

Daniel was sitting on the couch.

Ok ok relax you can do this.

"Uh hey Daniel can I talk to you?"

I sound like a complete idiot. Well because you are stupid.

"Sure." He said and walked into the kitchen with me. "What's up?"

"Well uh I don't know about this whole band thing..."

"What do you mean?"

"People won't like me. I think just you, Corbyn, Jack, and Zach should be in the band."

"What are you talking about? People will love you!"

"No they won't. I'm not fit for that life."

"Says who?"

I shrugged. "I just can't see anyone...wanting to like see me or be into my...ugh you know what I mean."

"I don't know what you mean. People will love you. Just wait and see."

I crossed my arms and looked away. I don't believe him but I guess I'll just wait. Then he'll see. Then he will see that no one wants me to be in the band or to hear me sing.

We made YouTube and social media accounts for our band. We gained a few followers and posted some covers.

We've been working on our first song called Why don't we just.

Tyler told us to practice our parts when we were home but that was hard for me because I still didn't feel like I should be in the band. I did though of course.

I was scared to record the song. While I snag I could see all the boys looking at me. I was so scared I'd mess up. I didn't though, surprisingly.

"That was great!" Said Jack after I finished. I shrugged and let the next person go.

I'd gained 500 followers on instagram since we started the band.

Our main account had a whole 1,000 followers.

The day we published our first song we gain a bunch of new followers. People seemed to really like it. People listened to it on Spotify and we even, I know it's crazy, gained fans. People made fan accounts and commented on our posts.

How is this even possible?

After that we started working on a bunch of other songs and gained another manger. We made merch and we bought new equipment.

All of this was happening so fast.
