Chapter 15~ Visits and Phone Calls
Brendon's POV
I woke up to the sound of banging on my front door. I glanced at Ella beside me and chuckled at how deep of a sleeper she was. I left the bedroom and walked up to the front door and looked through the peephole. There Pete stood with his hair not straightened and red rimmed eyes.
I opened the door quickly and let him step inside. "What's wrong, man?" I asked him cautiously.
"It's happening again," he whispered clutching his sleeves.
"What? What's happening?" I asked.
"2005." That's all he had to say and I understood. He had tried to kill himself that February.
"Pete, you didn't take any-"
He cut me off, "No, Bren, but I want to. I keep getting flashbacks and panic attacks. I can't take this anymore, man." At this point, he was shaking and wringing his hands roughly.
"Does Ry know?"
"I had a nightmare and it triggered an attack. I couldn't let her see me like that so I got the hell out. She would never want me if she knew," he cried.
I had never seen him like this- so vulnerable and broken. He had always been tough and unbreakable, but I guess that's just what he wanted everyone to see. He still seemed strong, because that was true, it was just obvious now that he needed help.
I heard Ella's phone ringing from the other room and then heard a faint "hello". Pete looked at me with a scared expression on his face. "What if that's her? If she knows I'm here then she will come. Oh god why didn't I think enough to realize her an el-" he started panicking.
I scooted over on the couch and wrapped my arm around his crying figure. "Calm down, bud. It's all going to be alright," I reassured.
Ella stumbled into the room still half asleep. "Ry just called and wa-" she began but stopped abruptly when she saw Pete. "Ry is worried sick about you what's going on?" she asked him gently, taking a seat beside him.
He looked at me as if to ask if she was trustworthy. I gave him a nod and he began with his story.
