Wilbur

As Wilbur woke up, the sun had shone right in his face. The golden light illuminated the room. He layed in bed for a few minutes before finally getting up to go get food. “Good morning Wil”. He looked over and saw his father, Philza, making some breakfast.

Wilbur knew that he was the last up. Techno always woke up before dawn (spare a few days here and there) and Tommy was usually up pretty early going and running around town and playing with friends. Some days, Tommy would leave at about 8am and not be back by 6pm but he always came back, always.

Wilbur sat down at the table, yawning. “Mornin’” said someone from behind him. He didn’t need to turn around to know it was his brother Techno. “Hello Techno,” Wilbur said. Just from his voice, you could tell he was still exhausted. “Wilbur, how late did you stay up last night?” his father asked him. He could tell he was tired, even though it was nearly eleven. “I didn’t stay up that late,” Wilbur said. He had stayed up till four but didn’t actually fall asleep until about 6:15 and even then he woke up a million times through the night. He didn’t know why he couldn’t sleep but he was used to it at this point as it had been like this for a while.

As Techno sat down next to Wilbur as Phil came by with food. He gave them both some blueberry pancakes and laid out an extra plate. “Wil can you go get your brother?” Phil asked them. Wilbur replied sleepily “Why can’t Techno do it?” with a whine in his voice. “Because techno has been up and doing things Wilbur. Now please go get your brother.” Wilbur got up slowly and walked to the door. Without even opening the door, he could hear Tommy playing with his friends. He opened the door and yelled for his brother. “Tommy! Come on Dad made food!” Tommy looked over at Wilbur and ran back to his home. He sat down at the table and started eating his pancakes. Wilbur ate a few then went to his room. He knew what he would do today.

Wilbur grabbed his guitar and went to leave. On his way out he grabbed an apple and a water bottle. Walking into the woods near their house, he started walking towards the ocean. “Where are you going Wilbur?” He saw Techno leaning against a tree with his arms crossed. With his pig mask on, it was difficult to see his expression but Wilbur knew him. Even now, he couldn’t tell how he was feeling. Wilbur stood there as a cool breeze came through. “Well? Where ya going?” Wilbur paused, thinking about what to say. Their father didn’t like them going to the beach, especially alone. “I- uh” Wilbur gulped “I was heading to the beach.” Wilbur looked down at the autumn leaves on the ground near his feet. “Why are you going to the beach? You know Dad doesn’t want us going there.” Wilbur just looked down. He didn’t want to explain why he went to the beach. It wasn’t necessarily embarrassing, more he just wasn’t comfortable talking about it. So that's what he told him. “I don’t wanna talk about it,”. Shit. He knew instantly that it was a mistake. “Ooooh are you meeting someone there?” Even though he knew it was coming, his face went bright red. It didn’t help the teasing. “You are, aren’t you! What’s their name?” Wilbur lifted his face up and tried to walk past Techno. He blocked his way. Techno looked at his face and could tell that Wilbur didn’t want to talk about it, that it was something private. He let him go through and Techno walked off with a small sorry.

As Wilbur got to the beach and the salty air entered his lungs, he felt calm. It felt like there were no problems anymore. He felt light as a feather here, like if he jumped he would float away in the wind. As he sat on one of the rocks by the water, the wind blew through his hair. He sat there, practising guitar for a few hours.

As he walked back, he stopped at the old house in the woods and picked some flowers. As he got back he saw Tommy playing in the yard with someone. He knew all of Tommy’s friends but he didn’t recognize this one. He went inside and grabbed a vase for the flowers and sat them in the window by his bed. Today was a nice day.
