When The Day Met The Night ( Ryden )

One- Bruises

《《 Trigger warning// abuse 》》
Brendon's p.o.v

I tapped my fingers against the wooden desk i sat at.

One minute until lunch.

We were watching some educational film about hormones and the stuff most people wouldn't want to hear about before lunch.

Drawn out male genitals show up on the screen and half of the class giggles in unision to themselves.

I chuckle as Mr. Plut rolls his eyes.

The film stops and Mr. Plut stands, motioning for us to get out AKA go to lunch. Everyone bursts out of their chairs and walks quickly outside the classroom, me following behind.

The cafeteria was right outside the science classroom so I was skimming the tables for Ryan and Dallan as soon I walked in.

Finding Dallon, i get his attention by yelling " Dallon Weekes sucks " right behind him.

He responds with, " Brendon Urie swallows " and looks at me.

I chuckle and hurry through the lunch line, Ryan a few students infront of me, i notice.

I grab a plate and get a peanut butter and strawberry jelly sandwhich with fruit and chips. I pay, then give Dallon and Ryan a seductive smirk, and laughing a few seconds after.

" You aren't 16, the one is silent," Dallon states as i sit across from him and next to Ryan.

Ryan chuckles and picks at his food with a plastic spork.

" FUNNY " i say slowly and pout.

Dallon smiles and giggles.

" It's not- stop!" I laugh and he continues to giggle, looking down at me.

Dallon and I have known eachother ever since seventh grade, in middle school. I met Ryan in fifth grade and ever since middle school we've been best friends. We had been through hard times, especially Ryan with his parents abuse and alcoholism.

Dallon scoops unknown meat onto his spork and pulls back on the points. He aims at me and lets go. The meat lands in my fruit and i give him a dirty look.

" He he " The taller boy mutters.

" Fuck you giraffe " i sneer with a slight grin.

" Okay " he laughs and bites his tongue and I realize what I said.

I nudge Ryan since he was being quieter than usual. He looks toward me without looking at me and I notice a big black and purple bruise on his left eye. I could see through his hair enough to see his sad eyes, trying to stay strong.

" Ry? What happened?" I put my hand on his back and lift his chin with my index finger.

He shakes his head and gets out of my reach, running out of the cafeteria.

" I have to- bye " i say and Dallon nodds, worried as well.

Fuck.fuck.fuck. why won't he tell people about this stuff?

I knew he was scared. I hated when this happened.. i hated seeing him in pain... especially when he attempted to hide any bruises from me.

I see Ryan run into the bathroom and i chase after him, running in just to see him lighting a cigarette.

He knew it wasn't good, especially for his age. However, it was all he knew to distract himself from reality. He got the habit from his dad, but only smoked once or twice a week in school.
