"new year, hell yeah!" wilbur said as he walked in the door as we all got set up. we had met up about a week ago to be able to judge if we'll all work well together. we all have a number of things in common, including our love for music. it seems like we'll have an enjoyable time together.

we had rented a studio for the week so we could get to know each other and start to connect and write music.

"okay guys, so I assume you've all heard your sister was right?" everyone nodded, "I think we can warm up together that way?"

"alright, that works for us. improv for drums?" mark asked, eager to start.

"yeah that will work." wilbur said smiling as he set up two mics for both of us.

"just backing vocals right?" I whispered to him as I adjusted the mic to my height.

"you can pop in with lyrics too, I think your voice will compliment this song." he whispered into my ear, so close that I was breathing in his cologne. I was content was the answer so I moved along with starting to warm up.

"alright great practice everyone, I gotta get going." wilbur said as he started to pack up all his papers. he shot me an evil look, which was quite unexpected as we were close friends.

"thanks for this will!" I exclaimed as I went to help him with his papers and guitar.

"I'm fine. thanks though." he said with a sense of urgency as he started walking towards the door. he said goodbye to the rest of the band, besides me.

"and charlotte, it's william to you."

and with that my heart sunk inside my stomach.

I felt like I could throw up.
