The Concert (Brendon Urie Fanfic)

Chapter 7: It's Now Or Never

Waking up the next morning, I feel a shadow of dread cover me as I remember that Brendon is going to pick me up. Also, that Josh will be waiting for me at school. The drama between the two is unbearable. I get up and do my normal routine and run out the door. I hear that very noticeable honk of Brendon's car and I get in. He drives me, acting as normal as ever, until we reach the school. Josh's smiling face creates Brendon's into a frown. I get out of the car and smile and wave at Brendon. I walk away from Josh like I don't even know him.

Brendon's POV

I can't stand that kid. I need to do something, but what? I can't hit him, because that would be child abuse. I get out of the car and up to my house. I lay on the couch and look up at the ceiling. I think for the longest time. Suddenly, a thought pops into my mind that would work, but it will be the hardest thing to do. Ever.

Alice's POV

After school, Brendon's car is right in front, as usual. But, something is different. He isn't smiling his beautiful smile like usual. I look around to see if Josh is around, but surprisingly he isn't. I walk up to the car and get in.

"Hey," I say.

He remains silent. For about ten minutes, he doesn't even say a word. He parks in front of my house and as I almost get out, he stops me.

"I have something I need to tell you," the words make my mouth dry and makes my stomach hurt.

"Yeah?" I say, holding back gags.

"W-we can't, um, be together anymore," I feel the stinging tears overflow until they turn into loud sobs. He gets out of the car and gives me a hug.

"B-b-but why?" I say in between sobs.

"I-I have my reasons," he replies blankly, but I hear his voice crack as though he is holding back sobs too.

I pull away from him and walk up to my house. Before I open the door, I give him one last glance and I walk inside.
