i did it for english. thanks to kettercat for the great link to make me come up with this story! so here it is...

 

“We’re never going to make it big!” said Chris angrily. Wanna know why? It’s your fault Will! Your drumming is terrible!

 

Boom. It had just occurred to Chris. It was over. He was gone. And it was all Chris’ fault. He knew it wasn’t Will’s fault. He was just angry that Will wasn’t keeping the right time and kept messing up his drumming. What had happened that it had to come to this?

 

Chris had met Jonny, the guitarist of the band in 1996. Then the met Guy, the bassist. He demanded to be in their band and that was that. Then of course there’s Chris, the singer, pianist, and guitarist. One day Chris, Jonny, and Guy were going to practise with a friend of Chris’s. He would be playing the drums for the band. When they got to his friend’s house, they found out that he had gone to a bar and would be out for the night. Will his roommate, also a friend, decided to fill in for him. Will was a guitarist and pianist but since they needed a drummer he decided to take a shot at it. They had decided to take will as their drummer when they found out he played pretty well on the drums.

 

The band had been formed. They couldn’t wait to start recording with only to months of collage left but somehow managed to hang on. Once school was over they started to record. But soon after they had started recording there was a problem. Chris kept nagging Will for not being on time and messing up his drumming. When Chris had said that it was Will’s fault that they weren’t succeeding, Will got angry at Chris.

 

“It’s my fault? Fine! Then if I’m keeping you from stardom, I won’t stand in your way anymore!” Will screamed at Chris glaring at him. “I’m leaving!”

 

“Go on then! Leave! See if I care!” Chris was filled with rage. By that time Will was already at the door. As he left he threw his drumsticks at Chris missing him by inches. Chris was thinking of tackling him but then thought better of it. His rage was ebbing away and was beginning to be replaced by panic. What were they going to do? They want to record but they can’t do it without a drummer.

 

Chris let out a long sad sigh. He looked up at Jonny and Guy. They were both having a cigarette and looked troubled.

 

“So,” said Chris finally, “umm… what should we do?”

 

“Well,” said Jonny, “we need to get him back. You need to apologize to him and get him to come back to our band.

 

“What? Why should I? He should be practising more!

 

“Give him a bit of time. He’s just starting remember. He’s only been playing for a few months now.”

 

“I don’t care,” said Chris bitterly. “He won’t be in our band then.”

 

“Chris we need him!” Guy said speaking up. “We don’t have time to find another drummer! We need Will!”

 

“I’m not apologizing. I don’t care.” But he did. And he knew it. We wanted Will to be in the band. The four of them were best friends. Now their friendship was ruined and they didn’t have any drummer.

 

A week had passed since the incident. Coldplay did not exist. Chris couldn’t stand it anymore. They didn’t practise or record anything at all since his fight with Will. Finally Chris went over to Will’s place.

 

His heart was pounding uncomfortably in his throat. He swallowed. It didn’t help. After what seemed like forever Will came to the door. He opened it. “What do you want?”

 

“I…I came over to apologize for the way I treated you,” said Chris not daring to look at him. “I’m sorry for saying that it was all your fault. I really didn’t mean it, and you really are a good drummer… I was just frustrated you know? So… will you come back to Coldplay?”

 

Will sighed. “Yeah I will. I’m also sorry for trying to hit you with my drumsticks.” He grinned. A stupid goofy grin also spread across Chris’ face. And with that, he left. Relief was spread though him. Coldplay was back together. But after long hard thinking Chris decided that he needed to pay for what he did. So that night at Guy’s flat Chris forced himself to drink beer and vodka. He hated alcohol. And never drank it. Chris kept drinking after Guy had left to go meet his girlfriend. He drank and drank. Chris was extremely drunk and felt very sick. When Guy came back to his flat he found Chris puking it his toilet.

 

“Chris what did you do to yourself? You look terrible. Come let’s get you to sleep.” So he pulled Chris up and carried him over to the couch and put a bucket beside his bed. “Now if you feel like you need to puke use the bowl okay mate? I don’t want that stuff on my carpet.” With that, he turned off the light and went over to his bed.

 

Chris lay there feeling dizzy and sick. But he still managed to think a little. Coldplay were a band again. Chris had his best friends back and everything was back to normal. He hoped that something like this would never happen again. The thought made him shiver. He pulled his blanket over him a little more. Little did he know, that in just over a year, their band would be famous.
