Chapter 5

At home, I borrow the family laptop and then take it into my room and close the door. I plug in the phone cord and wait forever for the dial up internet to connect.

While it loads, I pace the length of my room, thinking about everything Clay had told me earlier. The fear in his eyes, the regret stitched on his face, it all haunts me. This whole thing is crazy. He was famous online for posting videos? That’s so weird to me.

That’s why he was avoiding my gaze when I first saw him. He didn’t want to be recognized. I’d thought he was just a jerk, but once he realized I didn’t know him, he opened up to me. I really like the guy that he is. He’s funny, and cute, and sweet.

I sit at the computer and stare at a blank Google screen. Then I type “Jonny C” and hit enter.

Millions of search results pop up. The first one is a YouTube page. I click on it and see Clay’s face. He has four million subscribers and over two thousand videos. Holy crap.

The last video was posted three weeks ago. I try to watch it, but the internet connection is so slow, it makes it impossible. Instead, I look at the comments.

Hundreds of people saying they love him, calling him daddy, asking him to follow them on Twitter.

What the hell? This is crazy.

I click on his Twitter profile, which also hasn’t been updated in three weeks. The last thing he posted was a cute picture of a puppy. I scroll down and see all of his admirers, tweeting him stuff and generally treating him like a celebrity.

It’s all so weird it makes my stomach hurt. This guy who’d been so sweet and romantic last night when he kissed me under the moonlight is the very same guy in all of these videos and online posts, although they don’t feel the same guy.

I scroll through a Google image search of his name and see pictures of him with fans, at comic conventions where he had his own table to sign autographs. There’s pictures of him with actual celebrities, and selfies taken with fans.

There are pictures of him shirtless on the beach, looking like a freaking god. Pictures at restaurants and on airplanes and sipping coffee on hotel balconies.

He had an amazing life before he came here. I go back to the search and click on a celebrity gossip website. They posted an article about him three days ago. There’s a gorgeous picture of him smiling at the top of the article. I read through it.
