House of Memories

Chapter 14

After Pete signed the guys my week consisted of begging my parents to let me stay and go on tour with them. No matter how many times I begged they kept saying how 'I needed to think about my future' and 'what kind of life I'd have following a band around like some groupie' seriously, those were the exact words my mom used.

After realizing they weren't going to budge, instead of all that immature 'I hate my parents crap' I decided I'd start looking at some colleges in North Carolina. I always wanted to go into photography and after some research I found out that The University of North Carolina had a pretty good photography and film program.

I still haven't told the guys that I was moving yet. In fact I was on my way to Brendon's right now, I figured since he was my best friend I should let him know first.

As I came up to his front door I let myself in. It looked like Brendon was the only one home. I was kinda sad his mom wasn't there, just last week we watched a twilight marathon for the third time. 'Jeez I didn't think anyone liked twilight more than me but that was before I met Grace Urie.'

I didn't bother knocking on Bren's bedroom door, which was probably a mistake because last time I didn't knock, I walked in on him doing some yoga pose... naked.

"Hey Bren I hope you don— Ahhhhh!!!! Oh my God, my innocent eyes!!!!" I screamed as I opened his door and slammed it back shut. There I saw.. Him and Audrey.. just humping like bunnies. Let's just say I've seen Brendon Urie naked more times than anyone should have to.

I went back downstairs and a few minutes later they came downstairs. Audrey just sneered at me and Brendon seemed a little embarrassed.

"Hey Elena." Brendon awkwardly scratched the back of his neck. "Wasn't expecting you."

"I can tell." I laughed. "I need to talk to you though." I looked at Audrey. "Alone."

Audrey rolled her eyes and proceeded to give Brendon a quite sloppy good-bye kiss, looking at me the whole time as if trying to make me jealous. This bitch.. Seriously.

Once Audrey left me and Brendon plopped down on the couch.

"So is this 'talk' we're about to have, have something to do with why you've been acting so weird lately?"

"Maybe"

"Don't tell me you're really a guy.. I mean I wouldn't really care but still..." He joked.

When I didn't laugh I guess that's when Brendon realized it wasn't the time to joke around.

"Bren.. I'm moving."

He started laughing.

"I'm not kidding Brendon." Again, he saw the seriousness on my face and stopped laughing.

"Wait what?"

"Ya, my dad is getting transferred to North Carolina."

"But you guys haven't even lived here for a year." Brendon exclaimed.

"Ya I know." I rolled my eyes.

"Well that's fine, you're coming on tour with us anyways." He smiled.

"That's the thing.. We're moving as soon as I graduate. As much as I'd love to tour with you guys.. I need to think about me for once. There's this amazing photography program near the city we will be living in. I'd have a full ride to college. I can't pass this up Bren." My voice cracked and my eyes started to water.

"How long have you known?"

"Almost three weeks now. I didn't know how to tell you guys."

Brendon looked so sad. I'm not used to seeing him like this, he's usually his happy-go-lucky, borderline crazy self.

"I'm gonna miss you so much." I reached out and hugged him so tight, I'm surprised if his internal organs didn't shut down right then and there.

I was full on crying now and I could tell Brendon wasn't far from it.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. We will make it work somehow. You aren't moving until graduation and I looked at the tour schedule and we will be doing shows in North Carolina. We can hang out on holidays and you can come to my concerts. We can skype and call each other every night." He started rambling, I didn't know if he was trying to convince me or himself, but it was working.

We'd make it work.
