The Better Life // Ryan Ross

Chapter 33

(A/N: I feel like you all want to kill me for not updating)

-----------------Brendon's POV-----------------
I felt a vibration in my back pocket. I grabbed my phone and saw that it was from a guy that sits next to me in guitar class.

From: Brent
The guys want to meet you
Can you come over now?
I'll text you the address

To: Brent
Dude I'm with my girlfriend
I can't just leave

From: Brent
Do you want to be in the band or not?

To: Brent
Fine.
Give me a sec

"Jamie," I said as we were finishing our breakfast.

"Yeah?" she asked in response as she took a bite out of her food.

"Would you be upset if I told you that I had to go right now?" I asked not knowing what she would say.

"No, I mean like, you made this great breakfast and I know you're not just gonna leave so I understand if you have to go," she answered.

"Love you," I told her as I started to get up and kiss her temple.

"Love you, but where are you going?"

"This dude wanted me to try out for a band he's in. It's pretty close by."

"Let me see the address," she said. I handed her my phone and she focused ln the letters. "This is one of my old friends grandmother's house. I can take you if you want."

"Could you because I'm still pretty tired and don't want to deal with getting lost."

"Let's go get dressed and then I'll drive," she told me before getting up and putting the dishes in the sink.

"This is it," Jamie told me when we pulled up to a fairly big house.

"Nice," I said as I started to get out of the car. I made it halfway to the main entrance before I noticed that Jamie was still in the car. "Hey, are you coming or what?" I asked through the open car window.

"I was thinking of just staying in the car," she mumbled.

"Nonsense. C'mon, you're coming with me," I said before opening the door and taking her hand in mine. She followed me to the front door without any complaints or struggle which made me curious as to why she wanted to stay. I decided to ask her about it later and instead just focus on what we came here for.

"Hey, Brendon!" Brent greeted before I even knocked on the door.

"Hi, Brent," I responded.

"Come in."

We walked into the house and followed Brent into the living room area where two guys were standing.

"Brendon this is Ryan and Spencer, guys this is Brendon and his lady friend, Jamie, whom I have no idea as to why she's here," Brent said which caused me to glare at him.

"Hey," Ryan and Spencer greeted us which made Jamie and I say hello back.

"I think you can go now," Brent whispered to Jamie very loudly.

"Dude, what the hell?" I asked aloud, getting really irritated.

"She can stay. Having her stay won't do any harm," Ryan fought back which made Brent grumble in response.

"I'm gonna go," she whispered into my ear really quietly. I gripped her wrist very tightly to not allow her to leave before giving her a stern look.

"Ignore him, Jamie," Spencer told Jamie.

"Yeah, he's just being a dick," Ryan added.

"You know, I'm right here."

"We know, now stop being an asshole," I told him.

"Let's get to it then," Ryan spoke as he handed me a guitar.

-------------------Jamie's POV-------------------
"Band meeting," Spencer called out after finishing three songs.

"We'll be back, just uh, stay here," Ryan said before him, Spencer, and Brent walked out of the room, leaving Brendon and I alone.

"I don't think I'm gonna make it," Brendon told me before taking a seat next to me and then laying his head in my shoulder.

"You did great," I reassured him.

"You're my girlfriend, you're supposed to say that," he retorted before he started playing with my hair.

"Even if we weren't together, I'd still tell you that because it's the truth."

"Su-"

"Okay, Brendon!" Spencer yelled as he walked into the room. "You're in the band!"

"Holy shit," Brendon responded before getting up and doing that guy handshake thing with all of them. "Thank you guys so much."

"Dude, don't thank us. With you in the band it's now complete," Ryan told him.

"Just, thank you."

"No worries."
