Adopted By Fall Out Boy

Chapter 56

It's obvious that Pete and Patrick have been trying to distract us from the problems. It has worked well though. Our days have been spent texting Dan and Phil, talking to Brendon, watching YouTube, drawing, and talking to each other.

Pete walks up to us. "So. We are having a bonfire tonight. We thought maybe you could help us decide who to invite?" Nate smiles, "Sure " He thinks for a moment. "Brendon... Josh... Tyler.. Dan and Phil, for Brittany. Uhm. That's all I got." Pete smiles, "Alright. That's good enough though. We don't want too many people.." Nate nods then looks at me. "Any ideas?" I look at him, "No. Not really. You basically summed up my answer." I giggle.

Pete goes to Patrick and tells him who we picked. They texted all of the people. Nate grabs a flower crown and puts it on my head. I smile. "I'm gonna go to my room. I'm kinda tired.." He nods. "Alright. You wanna be alone or no." I grab his arm and walk to my room. "I don't like being alone anymore.. It scares me.." I close to door to my room and pull the black out curtains over my windows. I turn on the tv and put on Steven Universe.

I then turn off the lights and lay down. I hug a plushie of Lapis. I close my eyes and relax. Nate hugs me and watches the show. He hums quietly, which calms me and sends me into a deep sleep.

I am awoken hours later when Patrick shakes me around. "Someone is here. It was a surprise idea from Nate. He knows you like him." I stand up and rub my eyes lazily. "Okay.." I walk downstairs, following Patrick. "Brittany!!", a voice exclaims. My eyes are still blurry from just waking up. So all I can see is messy brown curly hair. "Hi..? Do I know you?"

He smiles, and my eyes finally wake up completely. He looks familiar. Then it clicks. Troye Sivan. I've never actually met him, but I have a bunch of his albums on my phone. "Yeah, well. Kinda. But I know you! I've watched your YouTube videos. The ones you have uploaded at least. You are funny and I've kinda been a fan for a while. Nate told me that you listen to my music!" I smile and nod, "Yeah. I do."

He hugs me then drags me to the backyard. It is slightly dark out. It's the dark where the lightning bugs just start flying around. It's a medium dark. We sit under a tree and talk about random things.

We end up being friend after at least an hour. We exchange numbers. "I'm sorry that I have to leave so soon Brittany. But I have a concert tomorrow and I have to travel. My manager is kinda strict about that.." I smile, "It's alright Troye!!" He grins and hugs me, "Bye, I'll text you!" I giggle and he leaves.

Nate comes up to me at least ten minutes after he leaves. "Hey Brittany." I smile at him, "Hey.." He sits next to me and I lay my head on his shoulder. I hum as the fire is started. Josh and Tyler have arrived. They are talking to the fire. And how red it is. I don't know. Dan and Phil are sitting next to each other near the fire. Dan must not have had time to straighten his hair, because it is curly. His hobbit hair. So adorable!! Brendon and Patrick are a "who can sing more high pitched" contest. I think Brendon won. Pete is by the fire.

I love this. I feel happy. The people that have been messing up my life are gone. We lost two people who meant a lot to us. Yes, I will miss them a lot. But at least they can live on in our memories.
For now, I just want to be happy that everything seems okay.
