Hold Me Down (Halsey;BrendonUrie)

3: You Liked Me Cuz I Was Blue

Thanks to laurentheauthoress for helpful ideas, ily. (Read her new Brendon story)

And check out my other two Beebo stories "But It's Better If You Do" and "Control"

The movie he picked out was a personal favorite, 50 First Dates.

Once settled on the couch, I asked "Should I dye my hair blonde that hers?" I gestured Drew Barrymore on the TV.

Brendon chuckled and shook his head. "No, blue suits you. It makes you stand out from everybody else." He said. "I your blue hair."

He just sorta complimented me. My teacher crush complimented me while we sat on his couch watching a movie together.

How could I ask for more?

Towards the middle, I ended up falling asleep with my head on his shoulder. Bold move, I know.

I woke up near the end from a other crack of thunder. I had jolted my head up and earned a chuckled from Brendon. "You alright?" He laughed.

I nervously joined him in laughter. "Yeah, I'm fine. How long have I been out?"

"Half hour maybe." He said looking at his silver watch. I bet his wife bought it for him. I felt a twinge of jealousy and wished I was his wife again. I didn't even know her name. Mrs. Urie?

I laid my head back down and put my eyes back to the screen. Soon enough, I felt Brendon's arm go around me.

"Oh, sorry," he began to move. "It's a habit with Sarah." So Sarah is her name. Sarah Urie.

"No, no it's okay." I sent him a reassuring smile and put my head back down and his arm rested around me again.

If you told me a week ago I'd be in this exact situation, I would have laughed in your face.

"Hey Brendon?" I asked and lifted my head up. He turned his face to me. "Yeah?" He asked.

I bit my lip, realizing I didn't have anything to say. Maybe I just said his name just to hear myself say his name.

But then, he started leaning in. My heart exploded again. He was going to kiss me. My physics teacher Brendon Urie was going to kiss me.

I closed my eyes and began to lean in, but an obnoxious ringtone interrupted us and we both moved away out of instinct.

"Oh, uh, sorry. I'll be right back." I said. Brendon sent a fake grin and turned his eyes back to the TV.

I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my phone off the counter.

Incoming Call : Mom

I rolled my eyes. What does she want?

"Hello?" I asked.

"Where are you?" She asked. Not in an angry tone but in a I'm worried tone.

"Oh...I'm at a friends." I lied.

"Who?" She asked.

"Lauren's." I lied again.

"Well I'm just making sure. I'm working late tonight, wouldn't want you alone in the storm. I know how you get scared."

"Thanks mom, I gotta go. Lauren's mom is calling us for dinner." I lied once again.

"Alright honey. Bye." She said and hung up before I replied. I sighed and dropped my phone on the counter.

She wasted my time and wasted a kiss with Mr. Urie. Thanks mom.

I returned to Brendon on the couch. "Sorry, my mother." I explained.

"Does she want you home?" Brendon asked.

"No she was just checking up on me." I said. I was too embarrassed to admit it was for my fear of storms.

"Okay, that's good." He said and turned back to the movie.

Maybe he wasn't trying to kiss me. Maybe I lied to myself.

I sat down next to him again. What if I ruined it? Give me a sign. I want to believe that it was real. I silently begged for him to touch me. Even look at me.

I chewed on the inside of my cheek and stared down into his hard wood floors and thought about the encounter I labeled our almost kiss.

Would we have gone farther? I could be getting banged by Brendon right now. In my dreams.
