dallon had been to brendon's house hundreds of times, but this time he knocked. sophia opened the door slowly.
"hey, sophia."
"he's in his room." she tells him. "what ever you did, you fucked up."
dallon enters the house and runs up the stairs to brendon's room. he knocks on that door too. he feels so locked out of a place he's so welcome in.
"go away." there's a muffled voice.
"can i come in?" dallon asks.
"no."
dallon ignores his protest and walks in anyways.
"get out." brendon is hidden under a stack of blankets in his bed.
"we need to talk." dallon says, taking a seat on the edge of brendon's bed. brendon peeks out his head. "go on."
"you shouldn't be mad at me. this is my dream school, hell its everyone's dream school, and i got in. i wanted to get in so i could prove to my parents i wasn't the kid they messed up. so if you want to mad at me, go ahead."
"i'm not mad at you." brendon says quietly. "i was being selfish and i shouldn't have."
"i should've told you i applied. i wasn't think about us, just me, and i'm sorry about it."
"no it's okay you were thinking about you, you should. sometimes you have to put yourself before others and that's just fine."
"come here." brendon climbs out from under the blankets before moving over to dallon and sitting on his lap. "i promise we'll make things work, bren. i'm not gonna let this serperate us.
