5SOS Imagines

drum teacher (Ashton)

You finished the song you were working on and Ashton, your drum teacher, sighed.

"You keep messing up on that one little part." He said.

"I know." You replied, sighing.

You always messed up right in the middle. The rest of the song was perfect.

"Maybe you should practice more." He suggested. He was right, and you knew it. You didn't practice enough. Up until this song, you didn't need to practice that often. Twenty minutes to an hour per day is all you usually needed to practice.

Then came this song.

"Look, y/n, it took me loads of practice to get to where I am now. I know that you can do it, though. You're very good at this." He told you.

You smiled.

"I'm going to practice more, Ashton. I really am. I'm just not used to having to practice that much." You sighed.

"I know y/n. There's going to be times where it's really hard, and there's gonna be times where it's really easy." He said. You nodded.

"Play it again." He said.

Taking a deep breath, you began to play it.

Your heart sank when you messed up the middle again. Immediately, you became frustrated and stopped playing. Literally, you threw your drum stick at the wall and got up, walking out of the room.

"Y/n, what the hell?" Ashton demanded, following you.

"I'm done Ash. I give up." You decided, a tear rolling down your cheek.

"Don't give up. Come here." He said, opening his arms. You hugged him and cried for a minute.

When you let go, he looked at you.

"You can do this. Okay?" He asked.

You nodded. "I'm not gonna give up." You said.

A huge grin lit up his face.

"Thanks." He said.

"No, thank you Ashton." You replied.

He smiled and led you back into the garage, where you were practicing.

"Wanna go again?" He asked, making you nod.

You started to play again, and when you did the middle part, you didn't mess up.

Once you were finished, he pulled you up and tightly hugged you.

"I'm so proud, y/n! Pretty soon, you'll be better than me." He joked.

You laughed.

At least you finally had the song down.
