3 Going Viral

2pm the next day

In a multistory apartment complex, a woman could be seen trying to catch her breath in front of an apartment numbered, '221-B'

*Bang Bang* there was a loud banging at the door, "Lex, you moron wake up, do you know what the time is? *Bang Bang*".

Lex who was slumped in his bed woke up abruptly, he felt dizzy as he got up and looked around, and dozens of bottles could be seen lying around.

He searched for his phone and the battery was drained so he put it on charge.

With the persistent banging on the door he crept towards the main door clutching his head.

"Sue? What's with the banging? Its Sunday let me get some sleep ok?" Lex tried closing the door but Sue put her foot in the way.

She forced her way into the room, took out her phone and shoved it onto his face "Lex you can't go to bed, there's a big problem! You've gone viral"

Lex was confused and took Sue's phone, an 'Utube' video of the previous night's event was being played, and apparently an employee took out the CCTV footage of the incident and had uploaded it.

What was surprised Lex was the astounding number of views it had received, a whopping 5,000,000 and counting, many people would take years to make this kind of views but he did it in a matter of hours.

Lex was sweating bullets, "WTH Sue how did it happen? No better yet what do I do?"

Sue sighed "That not all Lex", Sue took back her phone and opened a micro-blogging app called 'Chitter' she showed him the most trending topics in the country.

1. #Wank-nator2000

2. #NoMoreMuppets

3. #ChubbyJoe

4. #Whitmore

5. #My4YrOldNiece.

Lex was stunned by the trending topics yes, but more so by the first trend, Wank-nator 2000.

Why on earth was this more popular than the rest?

"Lex this has been blown out of proportion, the conservatives are thinking of suing you for defamation and a lot of people are behind them, most of them woman and old people

But that's not to say many aren't supporting you. Nonetheless best course of action right now is for you to apologize."

Lex was reluctant, "I surely cant fight a case and hope to win without spitting out a lot of dough,*sigh* its better to apologize "

Lex went back to his room and turned on his phone, as soon as he did, his phone blew up with notification. Lex was surprised he opened his 'Instgrm' account and was flabbergasted, from a mere 400+ followers then, he now had almost 100,000 followers and his DMs were filled with msgs, most of them praising him and giving him a thumbs up but there were quite a few who were not so pleasing.

Lex showed this to Sue, who just sighed, "It's because of Sam, he chitterd your Instgrm user, don't blame him you know how he is."

Lex rolled his eyes, Sam was a vlogger with almost a million subscribers on Utube, Lex found him annoying with his constant vlogging so he was banned from vlogging when they were out yesterday.

That was the only reason that his rant did not get live streamed or put up on his page.

Lex scrolled through his calls, almost all of his contacts had called him, including his Dad a whopping 10 times. Lex gulped and hit call.

*Pereperperperperper Katcha*

Lex in a low voice, "Hey Dad how've you been? Long time right? All well I hope"

"Don't give me that you ungrateful ba*tard! Is this why you wanted to go to Pandora? To make a fool of yourself?"

"Dad it's not what it looks like, that video was taken out of context!"

"Everything looked clear to me. It was a mistake sending you there.

First I want you to apologize right now and then pack your bags and come back home. You can still take over the family business, it's not too late"

"No dad! I've told you this before I'm not getting into your business it's not what I'm interested in, besides I already have a job here so you can't make me come back".

Lex could hear his dad gritting his teeth in anger, "Listen here you punk! If you don't do as I-".

From the background a female was could be head interrupting Lex's dad, "Who is it honey? Is it Lex? Quick give me the phone"

"Hey Lex baby! How are you?"

"Hello mom, I'm fine"

"That's good to hear, but baby you've made a huge mess this time, you better apologize mister."

"Yes mom. I intend to do that right away. Oh and if you could please tell da that I have no intention of come back home and taking over the business"

"Hahah sure baby, don't worry ill handle it. And baby have you found a girlfriend yet? How about Sue you are always talking about? She sounds lovely"

Lex flustered replied, "Mom please we are just friends nothing more how many times do I have to tell you?"

"Hahah all right baby as you say"

Lex sighed, "Ok mom I got to go now ill call you later bye"

"Bye baby"

*Dudududududdu*

Lex sighed and looked at Sue

"So Lex your parents saw the video yet?" Sue couldn't hold back and laughed

Lex rolled his eyes. He like Sue but as a friend and the same was with Sue

As Lex went through his contacts he saw the number of his manager.

Lex felt chills on his back and felt a bad premonition coming.
