“I cant believe im at a Lovejoy concert!” You squeal, looking at your best friend with a wide grin. They smile back at you and they check their phone. “Welp you dragged me here so you better make the best of it” they say back with a sarcastic tone while still looking at their phone.
“You know what I will!” You say. They look at you for a moment with a what do you mean look. You smirk at them and skip off.
“HUH?!?WHERE ARE YOU GOING I-“ they look around at your guy’s spot, unsure what to do. “COME BACK IN FIVE MINUTES OKAY?!?” They call out as you continue skipping away.
At some point you slowed down. You were met with a bunch if doors. You tilt your head and shrug. You start tracing your fingers along the door ways, whispering the labels to yourself. What else is there to do? As you passed by some more doors you started to become dazed. You felt like a kid being able to explore the world. You pass a couple more doors before stopping at one. You moved backwards checking the label again, back tracking onto what you just read. And there it was…
“Backstage” You smiled to yourself before turning the nob a bit. It was unlocked. Without a second thought you opened the door and stood in awe as you entered. The ceiling was really tall and the speakers were huge. A couple of workers passed you and you overheard them speaking.
“Did you hear that the drummer is out sick?”
“You mean Mark?”
The first worker nodded, “Apparently they sent Henry to find another drummer. If he doesn’t find one hes going to get fired!”
“Poor guy!” The other one said as the walked passed.
Awe man Marks not gonna be here? You thought.
“Hey Kid!” Someone suddenly approached you. Making you stop eavesdropping. It was a tall man with slick back hair. “Are you supposed to be here?” He asked, one of his eyebrows up as he looked at you. Once he got closer to you he slowed down. His structure towering over you.
“Umm. One, I’m not a kid. And two, yes. I am the…” You looked around, checking your surroundings in case you needed to run. You thought for a moment… “-the backup drummer! Yeah..” you said reassuring yourself. “Really? They sent you?” He asked, obviously suspicious and annoyed.
“Yeah!” You said reassuringly. What were you doing?!?
“Okay…” he said looking you up and down. “Follow me.”
He started walking and you followed. “My name is Henry.” He said without turning back.
You gulped. Jackpot. “My name is YN.”
He kept walking. “So Mark, the drummer is out today. He’s gotten sick and he had to stay at the hotel. My boss said I had to find a replacement and lucky for me…” he turned around abruptly making you stop, almost like hitting the breaks. “I found one.”
You smiled at him trying to keep it cool.
“Anyway. Your outfit is fine so you don’t have to change.” He said as he turned back around and continued walking. “I wasn’t planning on changing.” You mutter to yourself.
He turned around and looked you up and down. “Okay smart ass.” He rolled his eyes.
“Hey!” You yelled, and huffed. “I’m doing you a favor you know. I could just not play.”
His eyes widened and he smirked. “You’re a tough one. No one ever talks back to me.”
You laughed and looked up at him. “No wonder.”
“Okay.” He pointed to the ground. “You wait here. The rest of the band members will be here soon. The sticks are in a small bag next to the drums. There’s a microphone there for the next band but if you want to sing you can.” He paused, “I’m assuming you know the songs. Right?”
You gasped at the thought of not knowing the songs? “Of course I do!”
“Alright, good.” He looked at his watch, “Your on in five. Good luck newbie.”
You smiled as he walked away before going into panic mode.
‘WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING? IM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE UP HERE? (Your best friend) IS GOING TO BE SO MAD AT ME! AM I GOING TO MEET WILBUR SOOT? OH GOD IM GOING TO MEET WILBUR SOOT. IN FACT IM GOING TO PLAY WITH THEM. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD. WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!? I CANT DO THIS! WHAT IF I MESS UP?! WHAT THE HECK DID I DO?!?’ You thought. Suddenly you felt a tap on your shoulder and you slowly turned around, not wanting to see who it is.
“I’m guessing you’re the new drummer right?” Said a thick british accent. You looked up slowly and almost screamed. It was Wilbur Soot! And behind him was Ash and Joe. You held in your scream as much as you could and cleared your throat. “Y-yup!” You said in a squeaky voice before clearing your voice again. “Yup! That’s me!” You said nervously.
Wilbur looked at his other band members before looking back at you and smiling. “Great. Whatever happens do your best.”He kneeled and came close to your ear before whispering“You’ll do great” he said. His breath was hot and it landed right on your neck. You blushed and looked down trying to hide the red hue on your face. He hot back up before sticking out his hand for you to shake. ‘Was he expecting my name?’ You thought.
“I’m YN.” You said smiling, finally calming down a bit. His hand was softer than you thought…
*Wilbur POV*
I smiled at the new girl. She was smaller than me and obviously much more pretty than I thought she would be. At first I thought it was going to be some guy, so I didn’t expect much. But when I walked up to you I didn’t expect a girl. You were turned around facing the stage. Your foot was tapping the floor and you were biting your nails. You were nervous. Slowly, I approached you,
“I’m guessing you’re the new drummer right?” I said calmly, trying to show you how calm I was.
You looked at me nervously. You were a fan. I could tell. By the way your eyes grew and by the way you stumbled upon your words.
“Y-yup!” You squeaked which made me smile. “Yup! That’s me!”
I looked at Ash and Joe for a second and they shrugged. I turned back to you,
“Great. Whatever happens do your best.” I knelt a bit and got close to your ear. I saw you blush and I chuckle to myself. “You’ll do great.” I whispered in your ear.
I quickly got back up and smiled softly at you before sticking out my hand, waiting for you to shake.
“I’m YN.”
*Your Pov*
Almost immediately after he shook your hand the speaker shook, “Welcome Lovejoy!” Said a voice over the speaker.
You took a deep breath, closing your eyes. You’ve got this. You could do this. You opened your eyes again. You turned and Wilbur was next to you staring at you. He smiled and nodded at you before taking the first step. He understood that you were new. He understood.
With all your courage built up you took a step on the stage, then another, and then another. You looked at the crowd to soot (your best friend looking around for you before sighing. They turned to the stage and their eyes widened. You waved nonchalantly and smiled.
They mounted you a “What the hell are you doing?!?” But you ignored it. You walked to the drumset and sat down. The lights were bright and blinding. The crowd was cheering loudly as Wilbur put the guitar over his heard and set the mic to where he liked it. This was your signal to grab the sticks and get ready. You scooted your chair in a bit before looking at the drum set. It had multiple symbols and the microphones were all set to where they needed to be. There was a microphone next to your face so that you could sing. You sighed and smiled, taking it all in.
“Hello LA!!!” Shouted Wilbur, his voice booming over the speakers. The crowd cheered at the two words. Some of them screaming, some if them yelling Wilburs name, this made you wonder what you would be doing. ‘Probably crying’ you thought.
Wilbur continued, “So, last night, our drummer Mark got super sick. He said sadly, “Before any if you ask he is okay. But he couldn’t come.”the crowd was “awe-ing” and whining, “But instead, we have Miss YN!Lets welcome them!” He yelled out positively before looking at you.
You played a little fill then it the crash loudly.
The crowd cheered and it made you shiver. They were obviously still sad but they still gave you support.
“Now who’s up for Taunt?!?” Wilbur yelled out before the rest of the band started playing. You were a few seconds late but you caught on. Soon enough, you were plying and singing along with wilbur.
Songs passed by and so did the time. Finally it was down to the last songs, you played your heart out. Smiling as the sticks hit the drums. You wanted this moment to last forever.
Soon, you realized it was the last song. You sighed. Feeling the pain in your wrists from all the playing. As the sun sets you play the last song. You were looking down at your drums. Not noticing the pair of eyes that were looking at you from across the stage. Wilbur looked at you the whole song as he played “Call me what you like.”
*timeskip*
Now you were in your car as your best friend demanded an explanation. You were holding a paper with a number on it. Wilbur’s number. You smile as you start to tell the story of how you ended up on stage to your best friend. Once you were done, you checked your twitter and saw ON TRENDING “Wilbur has a crush on YN?!?” All over. You scrolled and scrolled, seeing videos and photos of Wilbur looking at you all throughout the show. You blushed at the sight . Your heart was racing.
Today was crazy. You thought. Looking at the video a bit longer.
“What are you watching?”
Asked your curious best friend.
“A video that could change my life.” You smiled as you zoomed in. Making sure that Wilbur was actually looking at you.
“And it happens as the sun sets.”
