"I'm Proud Of You" | Wilbur Soot angst

Chapter 19

Wilbur was on his way home from school. Eret had offered to walk him home, since he didn't want too much trouble with Oscar. Oscar had been a problem sometimes. Not as much as before, but a problem nonetheless. Wilbur had told his friends what had happened with Oscar, and then with Oscar and Tommy. Eret had insisted on walking him home, and Jack and Niki joined. So that's why the whole group were just walking to Wilbur's house, talking about anything and everything.

"Yeah, I wrote a song", Wilbur said. The rest of the group gasped.

"You need to show it to us!" Niki said, basically shaking her friend.

"I can't! I need my guitar!" Wilbur laughed, while Niki still was shaking him.

"Then let's go get your guitar!" Eret said, speeding up his pace.

"I can't! I'm grounded, remember?" Wilbur sighed and Niki stopped shaking him.

"I think Phil would let it slide when he knows what it's about? He must want you to show everyone your song!" Jack said, a bit excited. Wilbur sighed.

"T-that's the um, the problem. He doesn't know", Wilbur said, looking down. The others stopped.

"Why not, Will?" Niki asked, a bit concerned.

"Well- it's..it's fine, it's..." Wilbur trailed off. "I just d-didn't show him.."

"Well, why not?" Jack looked at his friend.

"No reason. I can probably just sing it, I guess", Wilbur decided to change the subject.

"Oh yeah, please do!" Eret looked at him through his dark sunglasses.

Wilbur started humming the melody, then:

"Wasting your time
You're wasting mine
I hate to see you leaving
A fate worse than dying

Your city gave me asthma
So that's why I'm fucking leaving
And your water gave me cancer
And the pavement hurt my feelings

Shout at the wall
'Cause the walls don't fucking love you
Shout at the wall
'Cause the walls don't fucking love you

There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the rails
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube lineThere's a reason
London puts barriers on the rails
There's a reason
That London puts barriers on the tube line

There's a reason
They fail"

He finished the song and his friends started applauding.

"That was great!"

"You're so talented!"

"How did we not know!??"

They continued praising him.

"I'm thinking about making an album", Wilbur said, embassared of all the praise.

"Yes."

"Do it."

"Do it or I'm punting you off a cliff and into some lava."

"Jack, stop threatening your friend"

"Sorry"

"Okay, I've got time to do that since I'm grounded!" Wilbur laughed.

They arrived at the house. Wilbur opened the door and waved his friends goodbye before saying:

"Thanks for walking me home!"

"No problem, dude!" Eret said, smiling.

"The song was amazing, Will!" Niki said, also smiling.

"What song?" Philza Minecraft had magically appeared behind his son.

"Oh, Will made a song!" Niki said. "He just sung it for us, it's great!"

"Wait, why didn't you tell me?" Phil glanced at his son. Wilbur just shrugged before starting to go inside while telling his friends goodbye.

"Wilbur", Phil said after closing the door. "Why didn't you tell me you wrote a song?" Wilbur stopped and turned around.

"I didn't want to ruin Tommy's moment", he said and headed up the stairs.

"Will!" Phil said in a voice that kids will understand as 'Stay still', so, logically, Wilbur stopped.

"Yeah?" he said, glancing back at his father.

"I wanna talk to you. Let's head up to your room, yeah?" Phil said, looking at his son.

"I- Sure, why?" Wilbur asked.

"I'll tell you when we get up there", Phil said, walking towards Wilburs room, signalling that they were gonna continue the conversation there. Wilbur sighed and followed.
