Charlie's POV:

... well I was really tired last night. It's 9 am and I finally made the decision to stand up and get ready. I'm so excited because today is the day, Tré will teach me how to play the drums.
When I was ready I went downstairs and saw Sara and Tré already in the kitchen. Tré sat down on a chair and read the newspaper while having a coffee. Sara was beautiful dressed up, I guess she had to go to work or something.
Immediately when they discovered me, they wished me a "good morning" with a loud and warm voice. That made me smile. I sat down next to Tré and ate a bowl of Lucky Charms.
"I'm sorry guys I have to go to work in 20 minutes. Do you two have anything planned for today?" Said Sara while washing the dishes.
"Yes I'm gonna teach Charlie how to play the drums" answered Tré and looked at me.
I'm very excited about that!
"Well that sounds like a great plan for today." Answered Sara and smiled at us.
"Oww already 10 am, I have to go. See you in the evening guys and Tré, don't forget that Ramona and Frankito gonna visit us tomorrow for Father's Day." Said Sara while packing her things.
"How could I forget that?" Said Tré jokingly.
Sara looked at us one last time before she went through the door.
Fuck tomorrow is Father's Day... I totally forgot about that... I could feel how my mode went down slowly. It's every year the same painful shit.
"Did you finish your lucky charms?" Asked Tré.
Yeah... Yeah I finished it.
"Then let's start rocking" said Tré enthusiastically and touched my shoulder.
He stand up and left the kitchen, I followed him.
Suddenly he stopped in front of a door and opened the door. There it stand... A HUGE FUCKING BEAUTIFUL DRUM SET.
Tré noticed how excited I was and gently pushed me into the room. He started playing the drums and MAN it was so beautiful! It was so fascinating! It sounded amazing! It was totally different than just to watch a video of him playing the drums.
I wished I could play that good, too.
I was so stuck in my thoughts that I didn't even realize that Tré stopped playing.
"And now it's your turn" said Tré and gave me his drumsticks.
I took the drumsticks and sat behind the drums. I was totally helpless... I didn't know what to do, I never played drums before...
"It's alright, just try to play some beats" said Tré with a warm and soft voice.
So I started or better TRIED to play a rhythm... it sounded awful... I felt how my face blushed, I was so insecure. There was Tré, the best drummer in the world (in my opinion) watching me how I totally fucked up on the drums... honestly I wanted to start crying... I somehow was scared a little. I stood up and wanted to leave the room, but then Tré grabbed my shoulders and looked me straight into my eyes.
"Hey why do you wanna leave? Don't be so insecure. You did great for your first time on the drums. Remember that I started like that too." Said Tré. His voice sounded so gentle. He made me try it again but this time he stood behind me and grabbed both my hands. So I hold the drumsticks in my hands and he was holding my hands.
His hands felt warm and super soft.
He started moving his hands and my hands just followed his movements.
Soon the movements turned into a rhythm and it actually sounded great. After a while he let go of my hands and I played by my own, I didn't even realize it until Tré started screaming "NOW YOU GOT IT"
The morning passed so quickly it was already 2 pm when we made the decision to stop practicing for today.
In the afternoon I went from my room downstairs to the living room. Tré knelt in front of an old box. What are you doing there? "I'm just looking through my old clothes" answered Tré.
Can I have a look at it?
"Of course" said Tré "maybe you find something that you like"
Actually I loved every single t-Shirt and every single shorts in that box. I'd love to wear everything from this stuff so I said:
Honestly Tré, I'd love to wear these old t-Shirts and shorts, they look so cool!
"I'm glad you like that stuff, you can have everything... I don't fit in those clothes anymore" he said and laughed.
Thank you so much Tré!
I went upstairs with the box and tried the clothes on.
Of course the clothes were too big for me but I loved it anyways. I couldn't decide which shorts and which t-Shirt I should wear now. I decided to go with the grey shorts and a white t-Shirt which said "Riverdales 27" on it.
I went downstairs to see how Tré would react to my new outfit.
"Hey look who there is, you look amazing in my old clothes! But they are a little too big right?" He said smiling.
Just a little bit but I love it!
