You Aren't The Only Exception

Chapter 2: Its not that fun

After a long day or well 7 hours of recording and rerecording because "I hate the way the purple on my skirt sounded" and pissing of my band mates since I'm a perfectionist so if I didn't like one thing I rerecorded it until it was perfect, I finally went home, satisfied with what I had recorded.

I worked quite hard on a basket of many wonderful items to give to Brendon. I felt horrible for recording over the song. If Brendon or any of them are anything like me they need it perfect on the record. If so then I just potentially created more hours of work for him. Hours he could've been with Sarah.

"Ugh what does that dude even like?" I spoke out loud digging through the basket. I sighed and decided this would be okay for now.

I finally finished. It was a small basket of many random things. I wonder what he meant by "rekindle things with Sarah." I thought him and Sarah got married not very long ago. I mean surely they weren't doing that bad where they? I shrugged. I guess things are very unexpected, since I thought I had a boyfriend then all of a sudden plthhh DUMPED. I mean if he was going to dump me then, then break up with me in a not so fancy restaurant, I thought we were getting engaged but nope I was leaving the restaurant crying. I mean I wasn't heart broken, it was simply not meant to be. But it sucked.

I started crying thinking about it. Okay maybe I was heart broken. How could I not be? He didn't have the audacity to explain or anything, then he made it seem it was like my fault for not seeing each other a lot. We are both in bands, this isn't just my fault. I shouldn't be to blame for trying to make a living, and I shouldn't be to blame for himself trying to make a living. Did he expect me to stop performing and tour with him? I suppose it is for the best if that's his mindset, but god did it hurt. It doesn't help that he has yet to collect his belongings since we met up while he was on tour and he was still touring.

I walked over to the bathroom and splashed my face with water, in hopes to calm me down a bit. I stopped crying but my chest still felt heavy so I changed and decided to go for a run. If i was going to be upset and angry might as well do something that can better my health and exercising releases endorphin's. If I learned anything form school its that exorcising release endorphin's and mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. I pulled my hair put of my face and tied up into a high ponytail, like I was Ariana Grande. I changed into some clothes I can run in and put on converse. Admittedly, they aren't running shoes but they were all I had that I could run in at the moment. I shoved five dollars into my hair tie, since I had no where else to put it due to the fact I didn't want it to get sweaty and the shorts didn't have pockets. I left my house and locked my door then took of into a sprint, down the street.

"Shit." I muttered under my breathe. I had forgotten to bring water. I'll just get a cup at Starbucks on my way back home. I stopped sprinting once I was a couple blocks away from home and just jogged a bit. After I jogged/ran two miles I decided to go back, slowing my pace until I was walking.

The line for Starbucks seemed unbelievably long but I was a mile away from home and I was unbelievably thirsty. I had managed to cool off a bit as I got to the front of the line.

"Uhm can I just get a cup of iced water."

The cashier nodded, and widened his eyes a bit, "Hey aren't you Hayley Williams."

I blushed, I'm still not used to people recognizing me and I was always really flattered since that means they were paying some sort of attention to my band. I nodded, "Yeah I am." I said pulling the five dollars out of my hair tie.

"No waters free and for amazing singers, like you most things are." He said. I smiled and thanked him, putting the money in the tip jar then walked over to the side.

"Water for Hayley." A lady said setting the cup of water on the counter. I grabbed it thanking them then took a sip of it. The cool water felt wonderful to drink. I'm not sure I've ever been that thirsty before in my life. As I was exiting, the door opened and of course I ran into someone spilling my water all over myself and the othe person. I mentally cursed myself out whilst apologizing to the person.

"Shit." the person said holding his shirt away from him. I looked up and saw that the person was of course Brendon Urie.

"Oh god I'm so sorry, Brendon." I said, first the recording incident then this one.

"Its fine, Hayley, Iwasn't paying attention either." He said shaking his head. I felt so much relief he wasn't pissed at me, then I realized I hardly had any water left since most of it was on myself, Brendon, and the ground. I mentally sighed as I did so.

"You can't seem to avoid me today, I mean god Urie, stop stalking me." I teased and he laughed. In some aspects he hasn't changed since I last saw him, when I set him and Sarah up. God we were so young, so naive.

"Oh you know I had to see you again." He teased me as well.

"I mean as if seeing me accidentally record over your song wasn't enough, you just totally have to see me after going for a run."

"Yes all the sweat and ice water on my shirt. I love it!"

"Of course you do. Anyways I should probably go home and maybe grab a water there. Nice seeing you after so long, and by the way congrats. I knew you too were perfect for eachother." I said leaving.

"Bye Williams! And thank you!" He spoke enthusiastically. I smiled and walked home. I saw a bus in front of my home, knowing all to well who was there collecting his crap.

I took a deep breathe and entered the home, the whole band was inside.

"All your stuff is in the boxes over there." I spoke coldly, grabbing a cup and filling it with water. He didn't say a word to me and I didn't expect him to. The band tried to make small talk.

"Listen guys I don't really want to talk right now I just want to shower, I'm sweaty but maybe some other time." I said politely and headed upstairs grabbing a towel. As I opened the bathroom door I was greeted by an unfamiliar female face. She had black hair, blue eyes, cherry red lips. She looked like Katy Perry, or Zoe Deschanel, even Sarah Urie, of course it wasn't either of them but thats what she looked like. She was washing her hands.

"Who are you?" I was completely and utterly confused.

"I'm Lynn, Chad's girlfriend."

"Oh my god. Get out of my house. Get out of my fucking house." I said in a very obvious fake cheerful voice.

"This is Chad's, you shouldn't be here."

"Its signed in my name, check the damn deed, now get out." I said pointing towards the door and stormed downstairs to Chad.

"Leave this house now. And take it with you!" I screamed. "Glad to see the real reason you left me, but leave or I swear to god I'll call the cops!"

He didn't speak he just grabbed a couple boxes and left. As soon as the door closed and I heard them drive away I broke down crying. What happened next was a blur but all I remember was standing in my bathroom with a great deal of my hair in my hand. I removed my hair tie to see it cut extremely short, making my half pink, half orange hair look dumb. I ended up dying it orange-ish red color or at least tried to it looked weird.
"Wonderful" I muttered, I can't believe I cut my hair. What was I trying to do, what was I thinking? My only reassurance came from the fact it was even since it had been tied up so it was easy to cut, at least I assume that's why.

I showered, and changed into my pajamas and lied down in bed. It was only 9:00pm but I was drained. So I fell asleep. I woke up around 3:00am and got a glass of water then used the restroom. I was startled when I saw myself in the mirror, I was a wreck. I decided to bleach whats left of my hair and try to redye it, some other time. As I waited for the bleach to do its thing and bleach out my hair I wrote some songs. Songs easier for me to sing, and quite frankly much more fun. Once my timer went off did what the instructions told me to, then showered again before going back to bed.
