Chapter 4

Summary:

Dallon is a mess and the band will always be there for him...

+++

My vision is really fuzzy.

My head hurts so badly and my arm, what I can move of it, seems to be stuck to the cheap carpet fibers of my now red bath mat.

What the fuck time is it? What Day is it? I think.

Just then, I start to think my brain is playing tricks on me. I could hear a faint song in what seemed like the far, far distance. It was so familiar yet, I couldn't quite place it.

Shit, that's my ringtone and cliche as it seems. It's our song, "Always" (the chorus of it at least).

"Fuck!" I mutter as I realize that it is Brendon's ringtone. He changed it to "Always" one night while we were on tour. He thought it was hilarious and I kind of got a kick out of it too. I never changed it because well, it was a really sweet gesture at the time and hearing it always made me smile.

I am really weak at this point, although I am just now realizing exactly how much. I try to fish my phone from my pocket and finally manage to grasp it on the last ring.

I am sure he will call back, Brendon is nothing if not a persistent son of a bitch.

I lay my head back down and try to recall what the hell happened when my phone rings again.

"Hello...uh um, Hi?" My voice is raspy and tired as I attempt to sound a little more lucid than I really was.

"Hey buddy, Did I wake you? What's up?! Look, I am at your door, could you let me in? I know it's only like 11:30 but, I am fucking bored out of my mind.", he laughs.

I don't even think he took a breath as he blurted all that out.

Damn, what the hell am I supposed to do now?! I can't let him see me like this!

Just as I start to tell him I'd be out in a few minutes, my world goes black.

***

I am awoken, violently by Brendon shaking me. I think he is crying, actually. I open my eyes as much as I can physically muster and he starts yelling.

"WHAT THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU DO, DALLON?! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?!" "Oh my god, Dall. Oh my god." He is screaming at me as he scoops me into his arms. He's dialing the phone and I am praying it's not for an ambulance.

"Hey, Spence, are you still in town?" he is trying really hard not to cry but, he is losing his composure, his voice is breaking.

"Good, man. Uh...hey, is Kenny with you? Good, good, I need you guys right now, please?" his voice is desperate and pleading.

"Uh yea, it's Dallon, come to his apartment, yeah east side. No, it's- No, I just need you, Okay? Hurry, please, Spence, please?"

My heart sinks. I don't want them to know.

He drops the phone and starts to sob into my hair, my head now resting in his lap. I am more awake now, and very aware of the hurt I have caused this man, my friend, my confidant. I feel tears running down my face.

"B, I'm sorry-" I start to say but I am cut off by Brendon.

"Shhhh, Dall, shhhh. We'll get through this, Okay? Me and the guys, we'll help you. Just shhh" he whispers, running his fingers through my hair.

He then picks me up like a baby and carries me to the bedroom, I have no idea how he does this as I must be twice his size. Cleans my arm off and tells me to rest as I hear a frantic knock on the front door.
