It's Sydney's first summer living with Brendon and she loves it. Well, until a woman comes into Brendon's life. Although he loves his girlfriend, she hates Sydney and Sydney absolutely hates her. Whi...
It's been about a full week since Sarah started watching me, since Charlie and I started dating. Ryan has been able to work on his album which he is almost done with. As for Brendon and I, he still is mad at me it seems. I don't think he really knows what to do. I don't know what to say the him. Things are just messed up right now.
Brendon walks through the door. "Alright, we completed a song. Crazy=Genius is now completely done." He says, smiling at Sarah. She smiles back and grabs her bag.
"Could you give me a ride? Angie dropped me off earlier and she says she can't pick me up." She says. He smiles and puts on his glasses.
"Yeah, of course." He says, waving to me before putting his hand on Sarah's back. He guides her out the door before shutting it. I sigh and lean against the wall. I slide down the wall and put my head in my hands. I just want Brendon to trust me again, that's all I want. I hate what's happening between us right now. I hate the not talking, I hate the over protectiveness. I just can't tell him about Ryan, I wish I could. Hell, I don't even know if he's over the whole Kylie Jackson thing yet, he might still be mad at Ryan. God, sometimes I with I never let Ryan use the studio, maybe all of this was a mistake.
Speaking of Ryan, he comes crashing into the house. This caused me to jump and flinch. He looks down at me with wide excited eyes.
"God! What the hell man!" He say loudly.
"I saw Brendon's car drive past me and I ran here." He says, giving me his hand and pulling me up. I stare at him like he is a mad man.
"Ryan you shouldn't be here. Brendon's going to be back in like five minutes." I say. He ignores me.
"I thought of the perfect way to get rid of Angie." I was about to say something to get his to leave but I stop myself. What is he talking about?
"Paint. All I have to say is paint." I give him a weird look. "So you will go to the top balcony with a bucket of blue paint and dump it on her." I grin devilishly.
"Ryan Ross, you are a genius." I say, crossing my arms. "Now get out of my house, Brendon will be home any minute-" Then, there was the sound of a car door shutting. That was way faster that I expected. What the hell? Did he not get caught up it the LA traffic. My heart drops. I don't think Ryan heard the car door. "Ryan." No no no no no no no! I need to get Ryan out of the house right now!
"Oh and make sure to used washable paint so you don't like ruin everything." I interrupt him before he could say anything else.
"Shut up and listen for a minute! I think Brendon's home!" I whisper hiss at him. His smile drops into an O shape. We hear footsteps heading to the door. "Quick, go hide!"
"Sydney, maybe it's time he finds out." He walks over to me. "I mean, it's been a long time, almost two months since we started doing this. We knew this would happen eventually." He sighs. "Listen, maybe it's for the best."
"What if he doesn't let you finish your album here? I mean, you're almost done." I say listening carefully to the outside noise.
"Then I'll finish it somewhere else Syd." He says. "Calm down, we are in this together."
"But what if he gets mad?" I say in a small, quiet voice. Ryan looks down at my and frowns. He then pulls me into a hug.
"Then I'll be at your side. You aren't in this alone." He says, pressing my head against his chest. I shut my eyes and sigh as I pull away, hearing the door click open.
"Hey Syd, I dropped Sarah-" He stops in his tracks. His mouth slowly drops open. "Ryan?" He questions quietly. He looks at me and my heart drops. "Ryan." He says under is breath again. His lips slowly curl into a smile and I feel a wave of relief hit me like a tidal wave. Ryan smiles too.
"Hi Brendon." He says. There was silence for a moment before Brendon speed walks over and hugs him tightly. Ryan stumbles back and chuckles a little.
Ryan mouths to me "Told you so." as they sway back and forth in the hug. Brendon pulls away from the hug and puts his hands on his shoulders.
"I'm so sorry." Brendon says, truthfully. Ryan smiles.
"Hey, listen, I know you are. The past is in the past." Ryan says smiling and looking over at me. Brendon then slowly turns his head to me and squints his eyes.
"This is why you've been asking about old panic! and Ryan lately! You sneaky little girl!" He chuckles and turns to me. "You've been planning this haven't you? You contacted him and planned this!" He pulls me into a hug and giggles into my shoulder. Ryan and I look at each other with wide eyes. That's it, it is time to tell him the truth. He pulls away and I look down and away. His smile fades and he tilts his head at me. "What?" He asks. I look over at Ryan who nods and sighs. "Guys, what."
"Brendon, that's not what happened." I say quietly. Brendon's eyebrows knit together and he crosses his arms.
"Syd, what are you saying?" He asks. I keep my lips sealed, trying to think of how to tell him. "Sydney Abigail Urie, I want you to explain to me what is happening right now." He demands in a strict voice. I cringe and step back a little. This could end badly, real badly.
