Your Secrets Safe With Me (Brallon)

Hope (unedited)

(a/n: ooo last chapter guys I'm going to cry, this is one of the only things I live for anymore, can't wait to write the sequel)

*Brendon Pov*

"Brendon come on show us one of your new songs" Ryan pleaded

"Ry I don't know, the songs really aren't that good and they're all kind of sad" I flipped through my notebook

"That's what you say about all of your songs and the last one you played was pretty good." Spencer was lounging on Ryan's touch

"Okay fine, fine." I went over to Ryan's keyboard,"Just bear with me, it'll sound better with all the instruments.

"The I.V. and your hospital bed                                                                                                                                                 This was no accident                                                                                                                                                                     This was a therapeutic chain of events"

I wrote this song the week I was with Dallon is the hospital and I had named it after his scars that hadn't quite faded and probably never would. I had written a lot of songs about him lately, he was all I could usually think of. It was almost four weeks now, Breezy and Sarah kept saying he'll wake up any day now, but they had been saying that for the past week.

"Brendon, that's really good, you've gotta show me the drums for that." Spencer jumped up off the couch.

"Ok I'll show you tomorrow at practice." I responded nervously hoping they wouldn't make me play anymore songs.

"We should so put that one on the album." Ryan chirped

"Guys I don't know, it's not all that great." I scratched the back of my head,"Ryan's songs are a lot better"

"Brendon, I get it, if you don't want it on the album that's cool, but your songs are way better than mine." Ryan smiled a little.

I nodded and listened to some more of Ryan's songs and helped him finish a few more. It was nice to have people around, but even in a room full of people I still felt alone without Dallon. The only time I was comfortable was in the completely silent room with Dallon, even if he couldn't see or hear me I'm sure he knew I was there.

Flipping through my notebook, I noticed a page of lyrics that looked quickly scribbled down. It was hard to read because what looked like tear stains had smudged the ink, I must have been writing quickly because I almost always use pencil.

Whether near or far
I am always yours
Any change in time
We are young again

Lay us down
We're in love
We're in love

In these coming years
Many things will change
But the way I feel
Will remain the same

Lay us down
We're in love
We're in love

I remembered when I wrote this. It was one of the first nights I was at Dallon's. I was crying so hard and I didn't know why, the song wasn't sad, it was just filled with such love and emotion. I think it was when I realized how much I actually loved my giraffe. I loved the way he tried to hide his giggle, I loved the way he sang when he didn't think anyone was paying attention. I loved his smile, his eyes, the way his fingers moved adroitfully over the stings of his bass.

I turned to a clean sheet of paper a scribled down the first thing that came into my head.

Dallon Smiles like Dallon doesn't care, he lives in his world, so unaware, does he know that my destiny lies with him.

It was far from a song, and even if I did write on to it, it would probably be one of the songs that no one will ever hear.

From Hannah:

Doc says Dallon might wake soon!!! Pick you up in 5

Dallon is gonna wake up soon, I couldn't repress the smile.

To Hannah:

Kk hurry

"What's got you all smiley" Ryan stopped tuning his guitar and looked up at me.

"Yeah I haven't seen you smile like that in weeks" Spencer quit drumming on his knees.

"I gotta go, I'll tell you later" I got up from my stool and gathered my things.

When I got outside, Hannah was already waiting. She honked her horn.

"Let's go, don't you wanna be there when he wakes up."

I was a giggly mess when I got in the car.

"Do you think he is really gonna wake up?" I asked, turning up Blink-182

"I hope so"

The drive to the hospital was filled with excitement, we still didn't really talk, but there was an amazing amount of excitement between us. I could have the one thing that actually mattered in my life back. We could finally record the album and get on with making our plan. Neither of us were going to graduate, but that didn't matter, we were going to be famous anyway.

I never thought I'd be so happy to walk throught those hospital doors. Sprinting throught the hallways, I dodged many other visitors and patients. Breezy and Sarah were standing oddly close and talking in hushed voices outside Dallon's room, at first I thought something was wrong, but then I saw Breezy plant a kiss on Sarah's cheek and walk away. They are a thing, and they didn't tell me. Well I'm not their best friend so I guess they didn't have to tell me.

I slid into Dallon's room and he moved a little bit. He's gonna wake up soon and I wanna be the first thin he sees when he does.

Time ticked slowly, Doctors and nurses would come in ask a few questions, take a few notes and then leave again. He would shift a little bit every now and then and I would get all excited, but then he would settle back down. I never let go of his hand, even as the hours passed. Hannah tried to coax me into going down to the cafe or letting her get me something, but I had to be here when he woke up and I couldn't be distracted. Suddenly the hand I was holding wasn't limp, he was squeezing back. I looked up with hopeful eyes.

"Dallon?"

"Brendon"
