Wilbur had always felt a little out of sorts compared to his brothers. They were both feisty and were into the same things, none of which he shared with them. He couldn't help but wonder if his birth family would've had more in common with him and if he really belonged in the house.
    He loved his brothers and his dad but he honestly felt overshadowed by all of their accomplishments. That's when he decided to turn to music, as a way to stand out from them. He started with a little ukulele, which he picked up quicker then you would think for an, at the time, 10 year old. Now he was 18 and was publishing his music on all platforms.
*Knock Knock*
    "Come in!" Will called out. He had been working on his next song that was set to come out this month.
    "Hey Will. What're you looking at?" Tommy walked into the room, having been bored of doing schoolwork.
"Just the lyrics for my song coming out." Will hadn't shown anyone these lyrics yet, he wanted them to be perfect, but to be honest he was really struggling.
"Can I hear?" Tommy liked listening to his brother's music, it really calmed him.
"Fine," Will said as he whipped out his guitar, prepping to show someone this for the first time.
"All my life I've been lost in the middle, can't figure any way out,
Time goes on and little by little, will I ever be satisfied?"
While Wilbur was singing, Techno and Phil had snuck in to listen. This was good, especially for a draft.
"Your ghost, leads me by the hand again today
Leave me here, leave me anywhere but here
I can't wait any-
All my life I've been lost in the middle, can't figure any way out,
Time goes on and little by little, will I ever be satisfied."
(Song is Lost In The Middle by Andrew Austin)
He finished out with a Dm chord, looking up to see his whole family standing there.
"Will I'm proud of you." Phil said, interrupting the awkward silence. Will put his guitar down and ran to hug his dad. Soon Tommy and Techno, reluctantly, joined the hug.
"Will it was great and all but I think a line about women would be great in there." Tommy joked, getting a laugh from everyone.
Maybe this is where Wilbur was meant to be.
