I Won't Give up.

Chapter 8

Avrielle in the picture? Sure. Why not?

I can't believe this is happening. I want to go so bad, but what about my mom? What about Avriell? I don't want to leave them.

I haven't even told them what has been going on. I never even told them that I've even met Brendon Urie, my idol for years on end.

What will I say?

How will I say it?

I need to figure this out. "When would you be leaving?" I ask hoping for enough time to explain this to my mom.

"A few days. I'd say like 6 days. Maybe less. They are not great with warning me ahead of time." He slowly giggles swallowing hard.

"Let's go to my house. I haven't even told my mom about you. I need to tell her what's...going on." He nods and we walk out to the car.

After showing him directions we finally arrive. Thank god my mom's car is there. We go inside and see my mom sitting on the couch.

"Hey, stranger. Where have you been. Avriell's dad make you watch them play chess again?" And then Brendon walked in.

"Please tell me I'm not dreaming. Baby, isn't this the man you have all over your wa-" But before she could finish I interrupted her. "Okay, mom. That's enough. Yes. This is Brendon. He is...my...new friend. And we really need to talk to you. It is important." I exclaim.

"You aren't pregnant, right?" She asks. "No, mother. Nothing like that. Just sit down." I say in disbelief. She sits on the single couch and me and Brendon sit on the loveseat.

"So. As you know, Brendon is a very..famous guy." I find it hard to say because these past few days spent with him, it's hard to believe. My mom just nods her head.

"Panic! at the Disco, his band, has a big tour coming up." I add. She sits there oblivious. "And me and Bren...Brendon, sorry, have decided that we don't want to be apart for that long since we just started...I mean we just met. He has asked me to go with him." I continue.

She is just looking at me as if she is waiting for me to add on to what I just said. I open my mouth to say something but I hear Brendon start to talk.

"I know that it's a lot to take in, but I will protect your daughter with everything that I have in me. And so will the other guys in the band. I will put her before myself and I will make sure nothing goes wrong. Not only will this be good for me, but her too. And I will make sure everything, for her, is perfect. She will have everything that she needs the whole tour. This would mean the world if she was able to go." He adds and it makes my heart flutter.

He is such a gentleman and I love him to death. She opens her mouth, but nothing comes out. This usually means it's a no. And when I see that, my heart stops.

I really wantedi really don't to go on this tour. I can't say goodbye to him now. We JUST started whatever we have going on. And I really don't want it to end that quick.

My thoughts are interrupted by my mom's voice. "You said you will protect her, yes? " And when I heard that, my heart started racing. She actually might let me go.

"Yes, ma'am. I care about your daughter and I couldn't bare to see her hurt. We will get her new clothes when she needs it, and we have a lady manager so she won't be the only girl most of the time." He adds, which then makes me blush.

That is when I noticed we were holding hands this whole time. He squeezes my hand and I giggle.

"Okay. I guess you can go. But I have a few rules." She states. "Mom, I'm 18." I giggle.

"First rule, no unprotected sex. We don't need a baby running around here.

Rule number two, you will be very careful with alcohol and smoking. Meaning if you somehow get caught doing it, I am not bailing you out.

And rule number three. You will not be alone at any time. Going on tour means you" She says pointing to Brendon. "...will be on stage. And you..." She says gesturing to me. "...will be backstage. I want someone with you at all times. The world is scary and the people in it are even scarier. Someone will take you as fast as you can say "Holy Smokes" and no one will notice." She says finishing her rules up.

"I will make sure of it." Brendon says. "So when are you guys leaving?" She asks. "A few days." I say smiling. "Well, you better get up there and start packing." She motions to the upstairs and smiles.

I stand up and tug at Brendon's arm. He is smiling bigger than I have ever seen this man smile. And I love every bit of it.

When we arrive to my room, we stop at the door. "Now...I need to warn you. I am not obsessed or anything. So don't freak out." I say. He giggles at me and puts his hand on the side of my face, pushing me against the door.

He pecks my lips and I open the door. He looks around and giggles.

I pull out a suitcase from my closet and start packing my clothes. As soon as I'm done we go downstairs.

My mom is sitting at the kitchen table reading a book. We say our goodbyes and we leave. When we get in the car I ask Brendon if I could invite Avriell over and we could talk to her there. And of course, he says yes.

When she gets there she acts normal. Just like I did when I first saw Brendon. She didn't freak out.

We told her and she got all sad. More sad than my mom looked.

"But, I won't be able to see you for 6 months? She says. Then Brendon asks to talk to me in the other room. When he explained that if we invited the guys over, one of them HAS to click with Avriell. And that is just what we did. We told Avriell and she agreed.

And that is when we heard a knock at the door.
