"they'll love you!" wilbur says as we drive to the recording studio.
"i'm nervous to meet them!" i complain
"i know love, they're all super nice and they are all excited to meet who the band is named after" he smiles
"tommy's gonna be there right?" i ask
"mhm! he's already there" wilbur says
"okay" i sigh as we pull up to a big building.
"before we go inside" wilbur says as i look at him
he pulls me into a kiss, which turned into many.
"wilbur come on you can't be late" i laugh
"it'd be worth it if i was making out with you" he teases
"lets go" i say
we get out of the car and lace our hands together, and as we went to enter the building i hold wilbur's hand as close to me as i could.
"melody it's alright! they'll love you" he smiles "i might have to tell them you're off limits" he jokes
"you really think they'll like me?" i ask
"of course! who wouldn't?" he says softly as we walk into the building.
wilbur signs us in, and we walk over to the room.
"you ready? tommy will be there as soon as we go inside" he says
"yeah i'm ready" i say as i take a deep breath.
wilbur laces our hands, and we walk inside.
"hey guys" wilbur says as we walk inside.
"hi mel hi wilbur!" tommy says as he walks over to us.
"hi tommy!" i smile as we meet in a hug.
"they're all excited to meet you" tommy says quietly
"what'd i say?" wilbur smiles at me "tommy can you agree they'll love her?"
"oh absolutely, come meet them!" tommy says as he pulls me by the arm.
wilbur and i walk over to the group, with tommy next to us.
"mel this is ash, this is mark, and this is joe" wilbur says
"hi!" i say softly
"hi!" ash says
"hello!" mark says
"wassup!" joe greets
"nice to meet the person we've had to yell at wilbur at for thinking about twenty-four- seven" ash laughs
"i was honestly terrified to meet you guys" i laugh
"we're all nice, except joe can get a little weird" mark teases
"hey!" joe laughs
"well" wilbur says as he takes a deep breath "you guys wanna play the album?" wilbur asks
"sure! you'll just have to tune your guitar real quick" joe says.
tommy and i were sitting down in front of the recording area on the ground against the wall as they got everything ready.
"you'll love it, i haven't heard the finished album but what i have heard is amazing" tommy says
"i have no doubts that it's gonna be absolutely amazing" i smile
"alright this one is called one day" wilbur says shakily.
"And stop
'Cause why'd you have to kill my cat?
Why'd I have to take you back?
Time and time, I play the empath
I don't know why
Put some lights on in an empty pub
A toilet with the seat left up
It's closure like a deer in headlights"
the pubs wilbur would go to to take his mind off
me and anthony
"One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future, maybe
One day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future, maybe
One day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?"
"one day wilbur, one day she'll realize you're perfect for her"
"She said, "Let's talk about
What I want to do
'Cause all I want to do
Is turn back time
At least a couple Tuesdays
To before I found one life, turn two""
the way i regretted breaking up with anthony because of manipulation
"I said it last time
But I'm not afraid of empty rooms
I'm not afraid of new perfume
And, in fact, my dear
I'm fucking terrified"
the way wilbur was terrified to confess to me.
"One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future, maybe
One day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future, maybe
One day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
Woo
'Cause I know that
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future, maybe
One day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?
One day, I know that you will be there
One day, I'll focus on the future, maybe
One day, oh, baby, isn't life so fucking inconsistent?"
the song finishes, and tommy and i both have giant grins on our face. wilbur looks up and we make eye contact, and i started tearing up a little.
"this one's called taunt" he smiles
"She's always asking, "Am I alright?"
As if auspicious or in my pint
I'll find the answer or a good night
Thank God the time is short
And, yes, you always do that one thing
When you wrinkle up the nose bridge
I'm tryna figure out what that meant
I took it as a taunt"
the way wilbur was confused by me and my feelings towards him a while ago
"Remember way back then in school?
Oh, did anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
Did anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
And I don't think I have a clue
'Cause, well, did anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
Did anybody ever say no to you? Whoa"
the way wilbur truly believed that everyone liked me even just a tiny bit.
"You're always tryna leave the table
Phone calls, toilet breaks, unstable
And don't you think that we can all tell?
You're insecure, you're insecure
I guess I always do that one thing
When I get too drunk and jump in
To figure out what makes your brain tick
I'm a listener, I'm a listener"
the way wilbur knows when i lie and what i'm truly feeling
"Remember way back then in school?
'Cause well, did anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
Did anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
But I don't think I have a clue
'Cause, well, does anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
Does anybody ever say no to you? Whoa
Woo
And I don't think so
'Cause I don't think so
Forget the number for the cab call
As you're dashing out the front door
You claim to try to dodge the catcalls
Thank God the time is short
And, yes, you always do that one thing
'Cause when you throw and drench me under your drink
I'm tryna figure out what that means
I took it as a taunt"
wilbur finishes the second song, and tommy and i still have the biggest smiles on our faces as we had our arms linked.
"this one is called sex sells" wilbur smiles
"You think he'd realize
But he's infatuated with ideas
Of possessions and far-flung social policy
His daddy works on the Council
The missus loves the silver spoon
Swore she'd never kiss a Tory
But this boy was too good to lose"
wilbur not approving of anthony and my feeling for him
"And I'll listen carefully
With ears pressed to the floor
As you make your way downstairs
You haven't got far to fall
Now it's red, now it's dead
Now it's everything she needed
Now it's four open doors
Pillows pressed under your knees
Now it's a sad, sappy sucker
To ensure a happy ending"
the ups and downs of anthony and i's relationship, and how i kept getting hurt but being manipulated to going back to him.
"I've been scared of sleeping with the lights on
Know she's not there, I know she's going to his flat
A Capricorn, oh, fuck that
They say sex sells, I know that
I've been scared of sleeping with the lights on
Know she's not there, I know she's going to his flat
A Capricorn, oh, fuck that
They say sex sells, I know that"
the night wilbur made sure i went back to anthony's flat safe.
"You could buy my silence
If you've got none to lose
If he's still infatuated with the truth
So will you do what's easy?
Or will you do what's right?
Please just could you let me know
Where will you sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where will you sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where will you sleep tonight?
Where will you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?"
the way wilbur always cared for me, dating or not.
"Cultured man
Venetian suntan
Red wine and club bands
Viagra pills on the nightstand
How's it feel?
How's it feel to be so loved?
How's it feel to be so loved, yet so alone?"
the way anthony was there with me, but not there for me.
"I've been scared of sleeping with the lights on
Know she's not there, I know she's going to his flat
A Capricorn, oh, fuck that
They say sex sells, I know that
I've been scared of sleeping with the lights off
Know she's not there, I know she's going to his flat
A Capricorn, oh, fuck that
They say sex sells, I know that
I've been scared of sleeping with the lights off
Know she's not there, I know she's going to his flat
A Capricorn, oh, fuck that
They say sex sells, I know that
Sex sells, I know that
Sex sells, I know that
Do you sleep at night?"
my eyes were full of tears at this point, but i pushed them down before they could fall out of my eyes, and of course, tommy and i still had those grins on our faces.
"and the last song, is called cause for concern" wilbur smiles at me.
"So what's it to you?
You're down another 8-ball
I haven't even got a cue
And you look dreadful
When you jump to what you'll resort to
Singing, "Chance, we ain't gonna hurt you"
When there's fuck-all-else to do"
the way anthony hurt me, but i didn't realize it.
"You could eat the foam from the headrest
You could knock the wind out of my breath
You could kick the teeth into my head
There's no cause for concern"
"tommy i'm so in love with her, she could ruin my life and there would be no cause for concern"
"So what's it to you?
You're down another 8-ball
I haven't even got the cue
And you look dreadful
When you jump to what you'll resort to
Singing, "Chance, we ain't gonna hurt you"
When there's fuck-all-else to do
You could eat the foam from the headrest
(I said there's no cause for-)
You could knock the wind out of my breath
(I said there's no cause for-)
And you could kick the teeth into my head
Still, there's no cause for concern
We ain't gonna hurt you
We ain't gonna hurt you
We ain't gonna hurt you
'Cause when there's fuck-all-else to do
We could eat the foam from the headrest
(I said there's no cause for-)
You could suck the wind out of my breath
(I said there's no cause for-)
And you could kiss the teeth into my head
And still, there's no cause for concern
I said there's no cause for concern"
they finish the song, and tommy and i look at eachother with giant grins as i push the tears down while our arms are still linked.
"what'd you think?" wilbur asks as he pulls the guitar off his neck.
"it was amazing!" i say excitedly as i spring up and run over at wilbur before hugging him.
"you thought it was good?" he asks as he rubs my back.
"it was more then just good it was amazing! you guys are so talented!" i tell them
wilbur and i smile down at eachother as my eyes immediately tear up again.
i don't deserve someone as perfect as him.
wilbur notices, and laces his hand with mine before walking towards the door.
tommy sees my face and looks at wilbur, and gives him a knod before walking over to the rest of the band.
wilbur takes me into the hallway of the studio, and then out the back door so we were behind the building outside.
he pulls me into a hug, and i immediately start crying into his chest.
"what's up my love?" wilbur asks softly as he kisses the top of my head.
"i don't deserve you" i say as i cry into wilbur's chest.
"what do you mean?" he questions
"i don't deserve songs to be written for me. i don't deserve someone who remembers all those details of our past and puts them into songs for me. i don't deserve someone who names a band after me, i don't deserve someone as perfect as you" i cry
"melody you deserve everything. you deserve every love song, you deserve every band, you deserve everything because you are the most perfect girl the world has seen. i've never met anyone as amazing as you. you deserve anything and everything." he says as he hugs me closer.
"but i've been told my entire life i'm just a stuck up asshole" i say
"and who told you that?" he asks
"my parents" i say quietly
"those same parents that didn't allow you to do anything, the same ones that abused you mentally and physically, the same parents that called you a whore just for being friends with a guy, those same parents that admitted to not caring about you but still try to talk to you" he says
"schlatt says i need to call them and tell them i don't want to talk to them anymore" i sigh as we sit next
to eachother against the wall, with my head on his shoulder.
"honestly i think you should" he says
"maybe i'll rub it in their faces that i was able to get an amazing boyfriend like you" i smile
"what'd they think of anthony?" he asks
"oh they loved him, they were so pissed when i broke up with him" i say with a light laugh
"i hope they fucking despise me" he laughs
"in the nicest way possible, they probably will" i say
"good" he smiles
"wilbur you're the best" i smile at him
"i think you are" he smiles down at me as he laces our hands.
"whatever you say" i tease
"if we ever do live shows you should sing with us" he smiles
"i don't sing anymore" i laugh
"you should! i know how well you can play the guitar and the piano, and you have an amazing voice! you should at least do singing streams" he says
"maybe, just maybe if i hit a sub goal" i say
"you better" he says. "wanna go back inside?" he asks
"sure" i smile
we go back inside and start hanging out with everyone, and tommy, ash, and i were having our own conversation.
"how'd you two meet?" ash asks tommy and i.
"my friend clay started a minecraft server with me and two of our other friends and tommy somehow convinced clay to let him join" i say
"we became friends after we started bullying the other members basically" tommy laughs
"is that the same one wilbur is a villain on or something?" ash asks
"yeah" i laugh
"you won't believe how many times we've had to tell him to stop daydreaming about you" ash laughs
"when i've come to some of their practices i have to yell at him at least four times" tommy laughs
"my best friend and roommate schlatt has to do the same thing to me" i say to ash
mark opens the recording room door and comes back in, and walks over to wilbur.
"wilbur just to warn you that one girl is working at the desk" mark laughs
"shit" wilbur mumbles as he drags his hands down his face.
"what girl?" tommy asks
"there's this one worker here who always flirts with me no matter how many times i've told her i'm not interested and i have a girlfriend" tommy scoffs as he walks over to us.
"maybe you should give her a chance" i laugh
"yeah definitely" he smiles sarcastically as he puts and arm around my waist and stands next to
me.
"make sure you guys are holding hands when you walk by her" joe laughs
"as if they weren't gonna do that already" tommy laughs as he takes a sip of his water.
"well we should probably get going" wilbur says as he looks down at me.
"alright!" i smile. "well it was lovely to meet you guys!"
"yeah! hopefully you can come to a rehearsal sometime!" mark smiles
"yeah definitely!" i smile
"well we'll see you guys soon!" wilbur says as they all agree.
"bye mel!" tommy says as he hugs me.
"bye tom!" i smile as i hug him back
wilbur and i say our final goodbyes, and we start walking hand in hand to sign out.
"here goes nothing" wilbur sighs as we walk up to the desk.
"hi i would just like to check out please?" wilbur says
"alright! signing out Mr. Gold" she smiles up at him. "and this is?" she asks as she points at me with a pen, giving me an odd look.
"oh this is my girlfriend melody" he smiles
"alright" she sighs with a slight scoff. "alright you guys are good to go, have a wonderful evening wilbur" she smiles at him
"yeah" wilbur sighs with a very forced smile
"bye thank you!" i smile at her
"mhm" she says as she rolls her eyes.
wilbur and i go out to his car and get in.
"well she's a dick" i laugh
"normally she asks me for my number every time" he laughs "maybe ill give her anthony's number"
"they would make a perfect couple" i laugh
wilbur slightly leans over the center console, and pulls me into a kiss, which unsurprisingly, turns into many.
"wilbur" i say into the kiss
"hm?" he asks as he pulls away slightly.
"we should go" i say
"fine" he complains as he starts his car.
as we started driving, i get a call from tommy.
"hi tom!" i smile as i answer the call and put him on speaker. "you're on speaker with wil"
"alright! i was just wondering if you and wilbur wanted to go to the carnival tomorrow with phil and i?" he asks
"can we?" i ask wilbur with a big grin
he looks at me and smiles "of course we can"
"wilbur said we can go!" i say excitedly
"alright! so meet us there around two pm?" tommy asks
"sounds good!" i smile
