In These Coming Years

Chapter 16

*Brendon's POV*

I woke up the next morning. Alice still hasn't come home. I'm starting to get really worried. I've been worried ever since she left.

I tip-toed to Vegas's room & found her asleep with Penny in her arms. I grabbed my phone & called Alice. No answer. I went back to our bedroom & leaned back against the door, sinking to the ground.

*Alice's POV*

I found myself in Ryan's arms. We were in his house. My eyes went wide. What even happend last night?! I found empty bottles all over the room. I probably drank my worries away with him.

I removed myself from Ryan's grasp, trying not to wake him up. I wasn't gonna leave his house without telling him though. I looked at my phone & saw 43 missed phone calls from Brendon. My phone was on silent & the icon of him started calling again.

I picked up & walked out of Ryan's bedroom.

" Hello?" I said.

" Alice?! Oh my god! Where have you been? You didn't come home last night & you haven't been answering any of my calls. I've been so worried & Vegas practically cried herself to sleep last night. You need to come home," he said quickly.

" I'm at Ryan's hous-"

" Wait, what the fuck are you doing at his house?! You should be with m- wait. DID YOU SLEEP AT HIS HOUSE?! Why are you always crawling back to someone who is STILL in love with you?!"

" Calm down. I drank my worries away. At least I'm not kissing someone who isn't my spouse," I scoffed & hung up.

I entered Ryan's room again & slipped on my shoes. I sat on the edge of the bed & tried to remember last night after I left the house. I knew I was angry. I remember driving, but everything blacked out after that.

I felt movement on the bed & a hand on my shoulder. I saw Ryan giving me a worried look. I just shook my head. " What happend last night?" I sighed.

" You came here angry but in tears. You said you just wanted to drink your worries away with some loyal," he replied.

" Nothing else happend?"

" Did you want something to happen?"

" No no, I'm just- I just don't wanna make a mistake when I'm drunk & I don't wanna lead you on."

" Don't worry Alice. Just get home. And like I said, I'll always be here when you need me." I gave him a friendly hug & left to go home.

I stepped into the house. It was quiet. I slowly opened my bedroom door & peeked inside. I saw Brendon passed out on the bed. I didn't wanna disturb him.

I went to the bathroom & washed my face. I brushed my teeth. I snuck into the bedroom & grabbed different clothes. On my way out, I heard movement on the bed. I looked over my shoulder & saw that Brendon just turned over to lay on his side.

I put on a Panic! tee & black leggings. I pushed my hair behind my ears & walked to the kitchen. But before I did, I took a peek in Vegas's room & saw she was asleep with Penny in her arms.

I made myself hot coco. My head really hurt.

" Babe?" I heard Brendon call.

I hummed as I drank my coco," I'm in the kitchen!"

I saw him rubbing his eyes as he made his way to the kitchen. He yawned & stretched. He gave me a worried look. I lifted an eyebrow.

" I was so worried about you! How could you just go to Ryan like that?" He sounded like he was about to go off.

" What do you mean ' just go to Ryan like that?' He's my friend! One of my best friends. He was there for me while I drank & cried my heart out because of what happend," I scoffed.

" Why couldn't you just talk to me?"

" Girls are just gonna keep on kissing you & you won't push them away. It's like people don't even care that we're together!" I yelled.

" People don't get that we're together, I don't know why. But that doesn't mean anything. I love you & only you. I wanna be with you. Come on, babe, we have a beautiful baby girl for God's sake. You don't have the doubt what I feel about you."

" I just wish that I was the only one you'd be kissing."

I finished my coco & set it in the sink. I walked over to my bedroom to go sleep. My head was killing me.

" Where are you going?" Brendon asked, sounding annoyed.

" I'm gonna go to sleep because my head hurts a lot!"

" No we're gonna talk about thi-"

" No we are fucking NOT. I need my rest because I have music to work on later & my head hurts! So leave me alone!" I slammed the door & locked it.

*Brendon's POV*

I sat against the door. I just wanted her to forgive me. It really wasn't my fault though. She was a fan & I didn't think she'd kiss me.

" Daddy?" I heard Vegas yawn. " Why are you sitting outside the door?"

" Mommy's home," I frowned.

" Shouldn't that be a good thing?"

" Mommy is mad at daddy for yesterday. Do you think you could talk to her for me?"

" I will try my best," she smiled. I walked away from the room & over to the living room.

I heard Vegas knock on the door a couple of times. " Mommy? It's me," she said. The door opened & Alice pulled her in. I went to the bookshelf & pulled a scrapbook. On the front it said:

Brendon & Alice Urie, The Beautiful Wedding

I opened it to see the pictures of Alice getting ready with Breezy. She smiled. She looked so happy, getting ready to marry the love of her life, unsure about what the future will be like.

I turn the page & saw me getting ready. I looked so excited. I looked as if I were about to win a trophy & I'm just waiting for name to be called so I could claim it.

**

I feel like it's been hours. Vegas & Alice have been in that room for so long. They never even came out. I need to talk with someone. I want to talk to Alice.

I walked over to the door. I lightly knocked on the door. " I'm heading out," I said flatly. I put on my converse & headed over to Audrey's house.

I knocked on the door. Thankfully Audrey answered the door.

" Brendon? What happend to you?" She crossed her arms. I didn't reply. " You're lucky my fiancé is out to a meeting," she groaned & pulled me inside.

*Alice's POV*

" I'm heading out," Brendon said from outside the door. Where could he possibly be going when all of this is happening in his home?
