Adopted by Brendon Urie♡

Chapter 31

At that very moment, my heart dropped and my eyes widened. Shit. Abort mission, abort mission, abort mission.

"Do you care to tell me what you're doing?" She asked.
"Well, I uh..." I trailed off, looking for an excuse.
"Why would you do this?" She questioned.
"It's a long story. You see, it started out when-"
"Save it. I thought we were friends." She said before turning away and walking back to her house.
"Poppy! Please! I didn't know this was your house! Jett and I were-"
"Whoa whoa whoa. Jett? He isn't even here! Don't try and blame this on my ex, Laurel!" She yelled.
Not here? I turned around and the car was gone along with Jett. That son of a bitch. I turned back around and was greeted by a very pissed off looking Poppy.
"Look. Jett was here. I swear. He-"
"Nope. No more excuses. Leave. Now." She demanded.
Without a word, I began walking down the sidewalk. Poppy walked back into her house and slammed the door. I kept walking until I realized that I had reached the store Jett and I had went to. Then another wave of realization hit me. I had no clue where I was. Great. I decided to call Brendon. Maybe he knows where I am.
"Hey is everything alright?" I heard him ask on the other line.
"Yeah... it's... fine but I'm lost. I don't have a ride. Please just come get me." I said.
"Okay okay... um... what street are you on?" He asked.
"Actually I'm at a store called Curacao. Do you know where that is?" I asked.
"Wow alright that's only about 15 minutes from our house. Just wait there. Sarah's on her way. Love you." He said.
"Love you too." I replied.

Sarah finally got here. I got into the car and immediately broke down. I leaned into Sarah and she gave me a hug. She waited for me to calm down before she began driving again.
"If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" She asked.
"Well, Jett called me this morning and asked if I would help him get revenge on his ex. Of course I said yeah because I'm always up for that kind of thrill with pranks and everything. It started out alright and we got everything we needed. Then we started the plan. Everything was going fine until his ex walked out. It turns out that he also dated Poppy and that's exactly who it was. So meanwhile, I'm trying to explain what happened and why I did it and I told her that it was Jett's idea but he ditched me so he wasn't there. And now I lost my best friend all because of that-that jerk!" I explained through tears.
"I'm so so sorry Laurel. Jett is an arrogant bitch alright? He's completely irrelevant. But you know what the good part about getting your heart broken is? It's that with every experience, your heart only gets stronger and so do you. You're tough, Laur. I know you'll get through this. As for the part with Poppy, that could take a while. But if she really trusts you and thinks of you as a true friend, she'll let you in and let you explain. Everything will be okay in the end. I promise." She said.
I wiped away my tears and gave a small smile because I knew she was right. We eventually got home and she unlocked the door. I was greeted by Brendon, Dallon, Dan, Kenny, and the dogs.
"Not quite sure what happened but I'm sorry." Kenny said.
"Yeah you don't deserve to be treated like that." Dan agreed.
"Wait how did you guys know? I only told Sarah everything and I told Brendon everything was good." I said.
"I know when something isn't right. Your voice does this weird thing where it cracks. I could also sense that you were a little upset. Clearly, Jett had ditched you. So I'm going to have to kick his ass, as I promised." He answered.
"Thanks Brendon." I gushed, running over to hug him.
"Anything for you kid." He replied.
"Well the whole reason he had Sarah come and get you was because he was running to the store to get you ice cream and inviting us over." Dallon beamed.
I smiled and looked at him.
"You did that for me?" I asked.
"Didn't I just say I'd do anything for you?" Brendon questioned.
I nodded my head and we all sat down in the living room. I had my pint of ice cream with me and lots of blankets. All of us were watching a movie on Netflix which was followed by another one until the guys called it a night and left. Tonight, all of us had lots of laughs. Sarah was right. Things were already beginning to look up. Realizing that the people surrounding me always have my back no matter what makes me feel so grateful and happy. Brendon and Sarah fell asleep cuddling each other and Larissa was asleep in her room. I slowly got up and turned the TV off. I put what was left of the ice cream back in the freezer and walked upstairs to go to bed myself. I laid in bed and decided to call Poppy. Even if it was 3 o'clock in the morning. I called and waited for her to pick up but there was no answer. So I left a message.
"Hey Poppy. It's Laurel. Look, I know I know, I fucked up. Really bad. But you wouldn't let me explain earlier so I'm explaining now where you can't interrupt me. Jett called me, said he needed revenge on his ex, and I went with it. Okay? I had no fucking clue that he dated you. At all. We went to the store, got the supplies, and then headed over to your house. I hate Jett but I accepted because I love doing pranks and such. You should know that. I've never been to your house so how was I to know that you lived there? How would I know that you were his ex? The light came on in your house and I wanted to run. But then you came out and I turned around. Before I knew it, Jett abandoned me. Okay? I didn't ask for any of this. I'm so fucking sorry. I just want my best friend back. Call me a whore. A bitch. A fuck-up. I deserve it. Please call me back. I know it's 3 a.m. but I miss you already. Bye." I explained.

And with that, I ended the message and went to sleep.
