Brendon's POV
• ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ •

I whimper and cling to Dallon. My breathing had become ragged since the lights turned off, and I was terrified.

I hear Dallon sigh a little, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm latching onto him, or because of the lights turning back off. I slowly let go of him, scared that it's the first option. I whimper and wrap my arms around myself as I feel Dallon sit up.

"Baby, you don't have to let go of me, c'mere, I'm right here darling," I hear Dallon say, and suddenly his arms are around me and I'm being pulled to his chest.

I latch onto him and I hide my face in Dallon's neck, my hands trying to grip at something, and I settle on his shoulders since he doesn't have his shirt on. I whimper and I feel myself start to shake.

I was used to storms yes, because the water always got rough but I wasn't used to witnessing them on land, they were a whole lot louder, and much scarier. I could hear the loud claps of thunder, and I could see the bright flashes of lightning as they lit up the sky.

"D-Dally.." I say, and I try to latch onto him more.

"Shh, baby, it's okay I swear I'm right here.." Dallon says, and he runs his fingers through my hair, his touch soothing and sweet.

I hear a crashing noise come from the hallway, and suddenly Josh is standing at our door with a light in his hands. I whimper, and I feel Dallon pick me up as he moves to stand.

"So.. yeah.. this happened," Josh says, and he laughs a little breathily as he shines the light our way, most likely so Dallon could see to walk.

"Yeah.. it did and it's not fun either," Dallon replies, and he laughs a little himself.

Suddenly, there's another roll of thunder, and my body tenses up, and I let out a soft cry. Dallon kisses my temple, and he murmurs soft things to me as I try to grab onto him more even though it's not even possible.

"Oh, Bren.." I hear Josh say, and he reaches forward and he gently rubs my back as I hide my face in Dallon's neck more. "It's okay bud, we're all here and everything's gonna be okay. The power will be back on before you know it."

I feel Dallon start to walk again, and when I move my head a little I see that we're walking down the hallway, most likely going to the living room.

When we get in there, I see that Tyler and Ryan have set up candles and they have lights like Josh's as well. It kind of reminds me of when I see the little fish that almost glow in the ocean, and it's actually kinda pretty.

"So are we just gonna hang out? I mean we can't do anything till-," Josh begins to say, but then it thunders again, and it starts to rain harder. You could also hear the waves crashing against the land, since the water was so rough.

"-the power comes back," Josh continues, laughing a little.

"D-Dally," I say, almost more urgently as I started to feel tears come to my eyes.

I was scared, and I just wanted the lights to come on so Dallon and I could watch the tv in our room and go to bed, that's all I really asked for. I could hear the rain heavily pounding down against the top of the house and I shook more, closing my eyes tightly as I tried to forget what was happening.

I hated seeing Brendon so scared, if I could turn the lights on myself I would. I held my boyfriend tighter in my arms, as he clung to my neck, whimpering.

"Okay, guys, we need a plan." Josh said. "Are we sure we didn't blow a fuse or something?"

Ryan shook his head. "It's the storm, this happens from time to time, it's just the new normal."
