Aurora's POV:

Me and Brendon where out for our four year anniversary dinner. I was mostly enjoying it, considering the food was great and the restaurant itself was luxurious.

The workers here were really nice, too. Too nice. That's the thing, I feel like they were flirting with Brendon. On our four year anniversary. None of this seems right.

"What would you like for dessert?", she asked me, approaching our table. She had a towel slung over her sideways-bent forearm and a pen behind her ear. In her free hand, she held a pad of paper. She wasn't being rude or anything, but she did wear a mandatory fake smile.

"Oh, no thank you, I don't want dessert.", I responded politely.

"Are you sure?"

Okay now she was being rude. As she said this, she eyed me up and down, implying I was overweight. Which I wasn't, but it still hurt.

Brendon didn't even say anything to her! He wasn't being as protective as usual, almost like he knew her in some crazy past world.

I just shook my head at her.

"How about the handsome gentleman?", She said, turning to Brendon.

He blushed and giggled at her name for him.

Brendon shook his head, "No thank you."

She smiled, "A phone number, then?"

He grinned, "As friends, you mean?"

I couldn't believe he was saying all of this with me right there. It's like he just stopped caring about me. Like I wasn't even there.

"Yeah... it can start off like that.", she giggled.

He nodded.

He nodded.

I stood up, clutching my purse in my hand.

"I need to use the bathroom.", I said, my voice cracking. This is when I noticed the tears streaming down my face.

I rushed to the woman's bathroom-thank god it wasn't stalls. I sat on the closed toilet and pressed the palms of my hands to my eyes, choking back sobs.

How could he do something like that with me there?

How could he do that on our four year anniversary dinner?

Despite all the circumstances were under, he still followed through with those awful actions.

I decided I needed a plan. I could leave now or go back and talk to-

There was a sharp knock on the door, "Aurora!", a voice called.

Brendon.

I chuckled, how did he think he could brush this off?

What was he gonna say, that was his twin brother from another dimension?

"Roar! Come out, come on, I need to talk to you."

I opened the door to see his hair messed up and a bright red lip-shaped mark on his mouth.

"Fuck off, Urie.", I spat, pushing him aside and walking out of the restaurant.

He trailed closely behind me.

"How are you gonna get home?", he shouted.

"Home? As in our home? No, Brendon. I'm not going back there. I'll call Stella.", I explained.

"Aurora?", Brendon called.

"What?", I yelled.

"The way you say my name... like it's something sacred.",

I scoffed. Laughed, almost.

"You were meant to say that name. The way it comes out of your mouth, it's supposed to do that. My name sounds best in your voice.", His attempt to sweet-talk me was sickening.

"Not this time, Prince Charming.", I regarded.

I pulled out my phone to text Stella.

Aurora: Stella, would you take me home?

Stella: Of course. Where are you?

Aurora: That new restaurant downtown.

Stella: Didn't you go with Brendon?

Aurora: ...

Stella: Yup, honey. Don't worry, I'm coming.

Aurora: Thanks, Stell.

Stella: Sure thing, sweetie.

I looked up to see Brendon crying, looking up at the stars and leaning on his car.

I gave him one last look and thought about what I could say or do at a time like this.

And it took me until Stella pulled up to figure out.

"Brendon?", I asked.

He looked at me in disbelief. As if he didn't expect me to say his name, again.

"Protip: next time it's your four-year anniversary dinner with your beloved girlfriend, wait until she leaves to go to the bathroom to make out with the waitress you've been flirting with all night. I'll pick up my stuff tomorrow."

I imagined myself dropping a microphone at this point. I couldn't see myself saying something that cold.

Then again, I couldn't imagine Brendon doing something like this to me.

A/N: Hola. It's ya gurl. So, I decided to make this once cause I feel like we need some drama in here. Some more emotion, you know? So I will make a part two. And yes, I do realize the fall out boy lyrics weren't correct but I did that on purpose so it would make more sense. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed.
