Monday, 5:00 AM, Somewhere in Times Square, New York, USA

*Chaotic environment*

Lana (one of Dave's biggest fans): What is happening?

Lana: Is Dave ...

News: 30-year-old superstar Dave was found dead in his penthouse in Miami.

Lana: Is Dave DEAD?!??

At the same time somewhere in the middle of Australia 8:00 PM

Justin (a childhood friend of Dave): Dude! Look, you're everywhere in the news! Look it's you again!

Dave: yeah

Justin: Dude you were famous!

Dave: Yes, I was.

Dona (Justin's mom): Boys the dinner is ready

*Dona, Dave, and Justin eating dinner together in a small dirty kitchen*

Dave: I can not express how grateful I am. Thank you for letting me live with you and also thank you for agreeing to keep my little secret.

Dona speaking with a full mouth: Well, you pay a good amount of rent so there's no need for that hahaha

Justin looking embarrassed: OK enough speaking let's eat

–

Justin: So you're probably curious about what is happening and I'm here to tell you

My name is Justin and I'm 30 years old

My life is very boring I live with my mom in a tiny rented house I have the most average job with the average salary and the most average annoying boss

Girls don't date me unless they're really desperate or so bored that they don't have anything better to do

I'm also overweight and insecure

My therapist once said that I should avoid describing myself with harsh words but let's be real I AM A LOOSER

Here's a picture of me and Dave when we were newborns

Yeah.. we've known each other since birth

*shows a picture of the newborn him and Dave*

Dave: Oh look who's this cute little pumpkin-looking kid?

Justin: It's me

Dave: And who is that model face cute little prince right next to him?

Justin: It's you, Dave.. Now may I continue explaining the situation to our readers?

Dave: Yes-yes, you may continue

Justin: Great! Where did we stop? Yeah and Dave have known each other since our literal birth

Our mothers met each other in the hospital while giving birth to us

Both of them were extremely lost and confused young single moms. They had no one so they quickly became best friends

They didn't have a lot of money so they decided to rent a small house together

Dave and I grew up together we shared everything we had

This is Dave's mother

*Showing a picture of a young and attractive blonde woman*

She worked as a model

She often took Dave with her to the shooting sets

Soon Dave got noticed and became a model as well

Gradually we spent less and less time together and at the age of 9 his mom decided to move to a bigger city so Dave would have more opportunities

We never spoke or met again

One day at the age of 13, I saw Dave on TV for the first time

He was singing

After that his career skyrocketed, and his face was EVERYWHERE

And to be honest I wouldn't say I liked that

I was envy

The boy I grew up with and shared everything with disappeared one day from my life without even saying a proper goodbye and now look at him.. he's a worldwide known singer and actor while I'm working in a gray box and struggling to pay my mother's debt

I hated him with all of my heart

Today as usual I came back from work and watched the news with my mom but the news was very unusual

News reporter: 30 yo superstar Dave was found dead

Justin: I got paralyzed

My feelings were confusing

All of these years. I thought seeing Dave fail would make me happy but now I felt something completely different.. it was the opposite I was sad I was really sad

My heart started hurting and my eyes went blurry because of the tears

The guy I once called my brother was DEAD? How can it be true? We are still so young!

Then I heard the doorbell. I opened the door and saw a strange man covered in a bandage from head to toe standing there .. with no other people. He was holding a huge suitcase

Justin: Dude you looked very scary by the way!

Dave: I'll take that as a compliment

Justin: I nearly got a heart attack

Dave: You're just overreacting I always look perfect even then

Justin: I wouldn't say I like your confidence

Dave: Hey stop talking and continue.. people are waiting

Justin: ok so I saw him, I got scared and I asked who he was

He said "Hi Justin I'm Dave"

I got even more scared

"But ...But Dave is dead" I answered

Dave continued "Oh so you already heard the news well, guess what? I am alive. I am kinda tired let me in and I will explain everything"

I said, "Hey hey how can I let some stranger into my house?"

Although I could barely see Dave's eyes under that bandage his eyes fired up with a flame of anger and he said "Gosh Justin you got even more annoying... Fine I'll proof that I am Dave"

I was shocked. I thought it was a strange scammer so I asked "HOW? You know my name ?"

Dave answered "Believe me I know way more about you than just your name, listen.

First: You are allergic to broccoli and peanut

Second: In 3rd grade, you had a crush on our neighbor's daughter and secretly stalked her

Third: You broke your arm when we were 4 because you stepped on your pee in the bathroom

Fourth: Growing up your only shirt was the blue one with green stripes but you hated that and always tried to wear my shirts, which always ended up with them being ripped apart because you were built like a pumpkin .. and looking at you right now nothing has changed

And lastly, you have an extremely ugly mole on your butt !!"

That's when I realized that it was Dave. I was shocked and I said "DAVE BRO YOU'RE ALIVE"

Dave answered "Yes, I am. Now let me in already I am begging you"

I was shocked and I said "Of course of come in"

Then Dave went inside and as he was trying to unleash his shoes he said "I wasn't sure if you still live here"

I answered "Yes I do. nothing changed in my life... But the news said you passed away. What happened ?"

Dave looked tired and he calmly answered "I ... I got tired of my life and decided to start it all over again"

And then I was like "Tired of your life? How can you be tired of your life ?"

Dave said, "Is anything wrong ?"

I continued with "You're famous.. You're wealthy. You're good-looking.. You have everything ..You're .. You're DAVE"

Dave answered "That's partly true but before explaining everything I would like to inform you that I'm not Dave anymore..from now on please call me Abraham. I don't identify as Dave anymore."

I couldn't hold myself back so I said "Abraham? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"

Dave asked again, this time more annoyed, "Is anything wrong?

I said "Yes, everything's wrong! What is happening is this some kind of nightmare am I sleeping ?"

Dave answered with a confident calm voice "No you are awake, you idiot"

I was going crazy. I truly thought I was dreaming. I was confident that it was a weird fever dream so I said "Then PUNCH ME"

Dave looked pissed off and asked, "Are you a real idiot ?"

Once again I insisted on my request by saying "I need a proof that I am not dreaming just punch me"

Dave looked tired so he said "OK !" and punched me.

The punch wasn't even strong but because it was unexpected (I was sure it was a dream). I screamed and passed out and I don't remember anything after that.

Dave: OK, I'll continue the story then. After Justin screamed and passed out his mom heard something and came downstairs to see what was happening. I didn't know he still lived with his mom so I was surprised to see Dona. Dona of course was very shocked to see a random dude covered in bandages standing next to her son who was passed out lying in front of the stranger. I think she got extremely scared and eventually she passed out too. I closed the door and said "Well, I will take that as a welcome"

1 hour later

*3 of them sitting on the couch*

Dave: Once again. I am sorry Mrs. Dona

Dona: Why did you come?

Dave: I came here because I have nowhere else to go if you let me stay here I will pay your rent

Justin: Oh cool! Deal!

Dona: Justin! You're so bad at negotiating! You'll pay our rent plus our debt!

Dave: I'll pay your rent plus 50% of your debt

Dona: 70%

Dave: 60% Deal?

Dona: Hell no. 70% or you're out of here!

Dave: Ok

Dona: Deal! Welcome home Dave

Dave: Please don't deadname me! I am Abraham.

Dona: HAHAHAHAHAHAH ugh.. well well Abraham
