about 5 days after I got invited to this mysterious band that I have yet to meet, I got a message from wilbur. he was telling me all about how many people he has lined up to play drums. just kidding, he can't find anyone and wants my help. we decided on meeting at a cafe that was close to both of our flats that we could easily go to if we needed.
I had walked down the 3 flights of stairs with my guitar on my back, when another figure with a guitar grabbed mine. I noticed him as wilbur and immediately thanked him.
"you live around here?" I asked him as we continued walking down the stairs.
"yeah I live on the second floor, assuming you live on the third or fourth?" he asked as we reached the bottom of what seemed like the neverending stairs. i nodded at him as he held the door open for me.
"I can take that if you need me to." I offered and smiled at him. it was so hard not to smile at such an adorable face. I won't even argue with that.
"no it's fine, I got them." he smiled back at me. truth be told we got super close to each other and, just as I predicted, basically best friends.
we talked all the way to the cafe, which was a very short walk, where we started the search for our drummer. we first went on a website to hire a drummer, just for a short period of time to make sure we like them. the first drummer we clicked on was a dude named mark. he was very skilled in the art and had an excellent range. it was a lot easier than we anticipated so we decided to look for another guitarist just in case wilbur's buddy joe wouldn't be able to do it. we didn't nearly have as much luck as we last did, so we decided to put all our trust into joe.
since this didn't take nearly as much time as we had both cleared out, we decided to take a stroll around the beach and maybe write some lyrics. it wasn't the best time to walk around the beach since it was so cold, but it would be fun and we would try and make the best out of it.

we walked around for a while, telling each other some ideas for songs and exchanging chords. all in all, it was a great time with my best friend. doesn't matter if we had just met, we were definitely best friends and nothing could change that.
wilbur even walked me up to my flat, which was very appreciated because it was very dark and england is pretty scary. it was nice to have a presence that I enjoyed next to me.
"I had a wonderful time with you today, charli." wilbur smiled at me.
"I did too, it was really fun. hopefully we can do something with these lyrics and chords." I laughed to myself.
"don't worry, we'll find something to do with them. goodnight, charli." he said as he hugged me and placed a quick kiss on the top of my head.
"goodnight, wilbur."
that was the moment I knew we were going to stick together through thick and thin.
little did I know that thick would come a lot sooner than I wanted it to.
