"He told me that much and now he's dead
Told me to kill my indulgences
With a sharp blow to the temple
Pick up the phone call and do everything he says
I could take a plastic camera
We could make such a pretty picture
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me
I feel at some point I broke my mind
I'm always searching the silent type
How do you all make it look so easy?
You open your hearts up so quickly, it scares me
She's an artist, paints across my chest
Goes to parties, act like hotel guests
Wake up Monday, now it's over
Don't you know no one gets what they came here for?
I could paint her, wrapped around her
We could make such a pretty picture
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
I'm pretty cool once you get to know me
But I'm just the same
I've got a boring name
Across the world from what you want and what you came here for
So I'll wait here for you
Said, "Please, just let me stay"
Oh, just let me stay, oh
I guess you know now what to expect
He lives your own life in retrospect
You know it bores me? These insecurities
Breaks you down just to act as the architect
I could wait here, by the west pier
Watch the flotsam float, slowly disappear
Oh, so happy, oh, oh, so happy
If only you knew just how much better things could be
Another week of action
Another hypoglycemic reaction
But I'm just the same
I've got a boring name
Across the world from what you want and what you came here for
So I'll wait here for you
I said, "Please, just let me stay"
Oh, just let me stay
Oh, just let me
I'm sorry, it's all so predictable
I'm sorry, it's all so predictable, I know"

Wilbur's voice was so powerful. When they stopped playing we all clapped and took out the ear buds

"You guys are amazing" i said standing up

"Thanks mate" Wil smiled

"That one's portrait of a blank slate" mark said

"How are you not famous?" I giggled

"We haven't really tried" joe shrugged

"We will one day" Wilbur said

Nikki and Cara talked to Wil, Joe, and mark while ash drank some water

"You were amazing on the bass, i play but not that good" i said the him awkwardly

He just smiled In response. He handed me the bass and motioned for me to play it. I put the strap on and played a rift or two. He quietly clapped for me while smiling.

"Are you mute?" I asked while giving back the bass

He shook his head no.

"Oh ash doesn't talk much" Wilbur said looking over at us

Ash nodded in agreement.

"You guys want to get lunch?" Wilbur asked everyone.

Everyone said yes. I picked up the kitten and my monster.

"I should go hom... I uh- never mind let's go eat" I said to wilbur as everyone left

"Look, my main reason for talking to you is knowing that nick is still okay but right now I'm wil. I'm mr gold. Just be real with me man" he seemed a lot more chill then he usually is

"My sister died like three minutes before it hit my birthday. No one knows where I am. My mom says they could've saved her if I hadn't locked the door. Alex and nick got into a fight about you because of me, a-and"

"Hey chill out. Just hang with us for the day" wil said putting a hand on my back

"Okay, but what about the kitty?" I asked

"It's so cute that you call it a kitty" he giggled

"We can leave at Nikki's home for as long as you need. She loves cats" wil smiled

"Is the whole crazy thing an act?" I asked

"No I'm insane. But these people make me happy. They fix me" he smiled looking out the window at his band and the two girls

"Come on let's go eat" he said walking to the door

"I can't eat... it's what started that fight last night"

"Don't worry, I'll show what I taught my self to help with the eating disorder" he smiled

We went outside and got into his car. Me, Wilbur, and Nikki rode in one car while the others went in a normal looking one. Wil called the others to try and figure out where to eat. We all agreed on Mc Donald's. Me and Nikki made jokes about it being poor people food. We dropped by Nikki's house and let the cat get comfortable before meeting the others at the McDonald's.

Wilbur said that his best method of eating is to not look at the food while eating it. Looking at it is what will kill you. He says. We all have a good time, no one was awkward with me, they acted as if they had known me for years.
A text message districted me from the conversation. It was from clay.
(I got his number the day we met)

Clay
Hey nicks wondering where you are

You
Oh I'm with Wilbur and his friends.

Clay
Oh okay

I put my phone away. But Wilbur's started blowing up with texts then a call. He answered it confused

"Hello? Nick.. what? No I did not kidnap karl. He's sitting in front of me eating. Hey shut your fucking mouth. No I'm not doing this with you" he hung up the phone and noticed me staring at him

"Nick thinks i kidnapped you. He shouldn't know you're with me" Wil said eyeing me

"I didn't say anything to him I promise" i said defensively

"Right well ignore his messages. Today is for you." Wil said not looking at me.

"Yeah. Happy birthday me."
