Lost One Shots and Imagines

Charlie Pace- Idol (c)

"Charlie, we found a guitar in the wreckage, is it yours?" Kate asked, holding an old battered guitar.

Charlie looked down at the guitar in his hands and shook his head at her. "I only brought one with me."

You were hesitant to get involved but you daren't let anyone lie to claim your instrument or see it get destroyed due to the lack of ownership. Before being on the island, you had been a huge fan of Drive Shaft, so being trapped with the guitarist of the band, it left you in a state of anxiousness, not wanting to seem like a complete idiot. You had been a casual guitar player, but you couldn't bear the thought of telling him and embarrassing yourself when he realised how terrible you were.

"Um... it's mine," you croaked, hoping Kate heard you and Charlie didn't, but when he turned to you with a pleasant smile, you knew that you weren't so lucky.

"I didn't know that you played," Charlie smiled.

Kate gave you the guitar before heading off to continue whatever she was doing before.

You looked over your instrument. Before the flight, it was rather battered, having been used for over a decade, the coating on it almost completely gone and various old stickers peeling off from it. By the looks of it, it wasn't broken or in much worse a state than it was before the crash, so you would at least have it to play when you could hide from the guy whom was practically your idol off of the island.

"Uhm... I'm not that good," you shrugged. "My dad taught me to play by ear a long time ago but I'm not the best. Actually... um... I used to play a lot of your songs. I listened to them enough that playing them was pretty easy after I memorised all of them."

Even without seeing them, you knew that your cheeks had become red, showing your nerves.

"I'm sure you aren't nearly as bad as you are letting on. You are far too modest for your own good," he chuckled. "But maybe I can help out and give you some pointers? I don't know if there'll be anything you need help with, but it won't hurt for us to play sometime."

Once again you grinned at the man before you, knowing that you would make a fool of yourself but you hoped dearly that this would bring the two of you closer.

"I would like that."
