Chapter 1: Awaken
The year 2020 in a world so identical to earth same technology advancements same everything even the virus that struck the world Covid also happened here but little changes in the entertainment industry
in LA Lancaster Ethan jones son of teacher Emily jones and auditor of a small accounting firm Adam jones, Ethan life was normal a loving family kind friends a kid enveloping in joy and happiness born in 1998
Ethan was 22 just had his birthday on the 5th of January living his best life trying to sort what he was going to do since he opt out of college much to the dismay of his father who wanted him to be a lawyer funny enough cause he saw how rich some of his law friends were but was all that happy to still support his son to find his way
It was December of the year 2020 COVID had ravaged the whole country with millions dead but the jones family spirit was still chipper and happy with the whole family still being loving and supporting "Ethan come and get your lunch moms finished cooking" came the voice of his junior sister Precious who was a senior in high school head cheerleader all round most popular girl in the school her words not mine
"I'm coming" came his voice coming out from his bedroom while he was cuddled up watching the blacklist season 7 who despite the virus still chose to show the finish the seventh season with animation "I'm telling you precious you need to watch the blacklist it's insanely good Raymond reddition has to be the smartest character ever" "yeah watch a show where a old white man is secretly running the world yeah no " "well not like u expect you to have taste when you fav show is a Kdrama" came his response which he regretted instantly cause his sister sprinted into his room and threw her phone at him which thankfully his bed cover saved him and unfortunately her phone" hey you would put some respect on crash landing on you it's the greatest piece of fiction to ever come out" "yeah yeah " said him weakly too afraid to say any other thing
So he went downstairs after his life was nearly taken out cause of his response to a teenagers fav show while downstairs he saw his father with his balding white blond hair watching the news "Ethan dear you good would get cold we all know you don't like cold food come eat dear" came his moms voice which sounded angelic then he looked at her and saw her eating in the dinning table with her sunny green eyes and blond locks looking so beautiful " okay mom I'm coming" "dear come join us the foods getting cold" said the mom
And there the were the jones family eating an homemade cooked meal of meatloaf " Ethan say grace" said his father
" o lord bless you for this lovely meal thank you for keeping me and my family save in this trying times amen" "amen" replied his family
"So anything new "said his mom "mom we literally can't step outside nothing new is happening" came the voice of his sister " I was talking to your brother dear maybe he has found what he wants to do after the virus stops" came his mothers reply "I would very much like to hear this" came the voice of his dad
"Well I'm thinking of maybe getting into twitch or TikTok or YouTube try to sing some of my songs and all its no or never " " wow that's great dear your voice is so beautiful I have been trying to get you to venture into that more since you quit the church choir " said his mom "eww is Ethan really going to be singing now guess he is never leaving the house loser much " said his sister " hey " his mother wanted to retort while his father then spoke up " Ethan son let's talk in the office" said the commanding voice of his dad " ooooo you in trouble " said the teasing voice of his sister
"Ethan son are you serious about this " asked his dad "yes dad I have been writing songs and I really think I can make it in the show business" " hmm you know I would always support you son but the music business while I'm not versed in it from the news and all it sounds messy" " dad I know who my parents are I know the values you and mom have instilled in me I'm not gonna lose myself " his father didn't say anything more and just went up and hugged him and told him in his ear "I love you son"
So there he was in his room writing on his laptop the lyrics to a song called (shape of you) what he didn't tell his parents or his bratty sister was that since the beginning of the year he has been getting lyrics and beats from who knows where he then finished and switched to YouTube to create a channel
"Hello everyone sorry this might look sloppy but this is my first time on here my name is Ethan and I would like to sing my song it's called shape of you"
' The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing likeGirl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my leadI'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body
(Oh-I-oh-I-oh-I-oh-I)

I'm in love with the shape of youOne week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
And leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play, and I'm singing likeGirl, you know I want your love
