Vibe With Me ~Drew Chadwick~

Drew Chadwick was my idol. I was going to meet him in July at one of Emblem3's album signings. I only hoped I could get the chance to talk to him.

~July~

I walked up to the table where Drew, Wes, and Keaton were sitting signing various items for all their fans. I wanted the guys to sign my guitar for me, but I also hoped to get a chance to have a conversation with my inspiration, Drew Chadwick.

"Next," I heard someone say, as I stepped up to the table.

"Hi, Drew." I said as I got near. "Hi Wes, Hi Keaton." I got them to sign my guitar and noticed someone was already coming over to usher me away. before they could pull me away so the next person could step up, I quickly wrote my number on a small scrap of paper, "I really want to jam with you later, here's my number" I said as I slipped the paper to Drew and was lead away.

~later~

I opened the door to the small apartment building where I lived and locked my car just before slipping into the entryway to head up to my room. As soon as I got there, I picked up my notebook and sat down with my guitar, flipping through the worn down pages and right then my phone buzzed, notifying me that I had an incoming call.

"Hello?" I said, not really sure who would be calling me at this time

"Um this is .. uh.. Drew.. Chadwick" he said.

I suddenly shot up out of my sitting position with surprise and began to pace around while talking. "Oh... um.. well, Hi. I'm Kenna if you didn't get my name earlier.. uhm not to be rude but why are YOU calling ME?" I questioned, continuing my frantic walk around the room.

"I.. Well, I wanted to take you up on your offer to have a jam session together. You were just kind of giving off these... good, chill vibes, and I wanted to see you again.. If you're down with that."

-Wait.... no way.. Drew Chadwick wants to see me again?- I thought. This was like an amazing dream. Then I remembered I needed to respond to him, "... Oh, uh yeah, I'm down. When and Where?"

With an excited tone in his voice, he said, "Down at the lake in town, around the corner from the zoo. Bring your guitar, too. Meet me in about an hour. See ya there...Kenna."

And with that he hung up. -heh.. that lake just happens to be my favorite place too.. wait holy crap he said my name... I wasn't even paying attention.. oh well.. I'm sure it'll happen again- I thought.

I finally stopped my pacing around and turned toward my room to get ready. I looked at the clock that hung above my bed and it read "7:03".

-hm. it's supposed to be chilly tonight but I can handle it... I think I also heard something about a storm... nah, the weather guys are always wrong..-

I went over to my closet, picked up my favorite grey beanie to go on my blonde head, and grabbed a plain, navy blue short sleeve t-shirt and some jean capris to wear. I slipped on my white vans, grabbed my wallet and keys, and picked up my guitar on the way out. I flew down the stairs and gave a slight wave to the concierge at the front desk. I stepped out the door, went over to my car, got in and took off. It was getting slightly darker later on as I was driving toward my destination. I checked the small digital clock in my car that told me it was 7:48.

~at the lake~

I pulled into a parking spot near the lake. Before I got out of my car I leaned back and took a deep breath, only just then realizing who I was meeting up with. I slowly opened the door, and swung my legs out of the car. I stood and closed the door, then slowly moved around to the other side of my car to get my guitar and sling it around my back. I was dragging things out. Of course I was. I was nervous to meet the one and only Drew Chadwick.
