Complications(Adopted by Brendon Urie)

6. "Supposed to be a punch."

When my eyes met Brendon's I noticed the deep fire that was in his own. He was pissed and it was no secret, but I was really confused because he seemed compassionate and understanding when I was on the phone with him. I started hyperventilating out of fear, it seemed as if he was about to yell at me, and that was something he hadn't done to me yet.
"I've already signed you out, lets go." He grabbed me by my arm and I barely kept up with him as he dragged me to the car, stumbling behind him as I tried to stay upright.

When we both got in he was so relaxed, as if he didn't just completely terrify me. "Sorry for that." He wiped my tears and hugged me. "The faculty seemed really annoyed and told me that you were already causing trouble in the school." He smiled.
"Okay, thanks for that, I couldn't survive another minute around those idiots." I sniffed. It was true, I felt like I was going to walk out of the classroom - which I tried to do - or jump out the window from how horrible they were being. He started the car and drove away from the school.

"Oh yeah, I have a surprise for you!" He took his eyes off of the road for a second to look at me.
"What is it?"
"Well, I have some people over who you will be happy to see, you were meant to see them after school but I guess it's happening now." He smiled once again. I thought about who it might be, possibly my friends from Australia but they probably would've told me if they were coming. It could've been the guys who he tours with, but whenever Brendon was with them I was either, A, having a panic attack, or B, not wanting to be around anyone, and he told me that at least one of them were coming on that weekend, so I didn't believe that he would lie to me like that.

Before I could even finish thinking about who might be at home we were already parked outside. I grabbed my bag and followed Brendon into the house, anxious to see who was there.
"Are you kidding me?" I pushed him, no one was there, I thought he had built me up for nothing, and was slightly angry.
"They're in the studio." He rolled his eyes and continued walking across the lounge room, I put my bag down and followed him out the door to the backyard. I heard Brendon's drums being played with his keyboard accompanying it, by that point I was sure who was in there.

When Brendon opened the door I was them, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dunn. I stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Hey." Tyler turned around from the keyboard and got up. He walked over to me and hugged me, tighter than I thought he could. "You okay?" He stepped back and smiled. At that moment I realised that my eyes were still red from the events that occurred earlier today.
"Yeah." I smiled, slightly hiding my face under my hand.
"Did you get into trouble?" Tyler raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I said called someone out for being rude to me and she didn't really like it." The stinging from Bridget's slap came back as I relived that moment. The moment where Loch helped me. I was still wondering why didn't he stand up for me in class earlier. I decided to not overthink what happened.

"What's that?" Josh stared at the side of my face where I was slapped, it must've started bruising.
"The girl hit me." I laughed awkwardly and looked down. They didn't seem amused.
"That's not funny, did you tell someone?" Josh pressed a finger onto the bruising area and I winced.
"Yeah, I tried a teacher but he didn't believe me." I stepped back. "I'm going to get an ice pack." I left the studio before they could say anything else.

I went into the bathroom to relive myself, as I washed my hands I looked at myself in the mirror, then splashed my face with some water to see if that'd make me look any better. When I left the bathroom Sarah was in the lounge on the couch.
"I got a call from the school today, are you okay?" Her soft voice.
"Yeah, there was this girl who was being really rude to me the moment I met her." I entered the kitchen and retrieved an ice pack from the freezer.
"They said you were verbally abusing another student."
"I literally told her that she was being rude to me for no reason and she should be nicer to me." I approached Sarah with the pack resting against my cheek, only numbing the physical pain.

"Jeez, did she hit you too?" She sat up and opened her arms. I fell into them and she stroked my cheek.
"Ow." I moved my head. "Yeah, that bitch slapped me, but now I'm thinking that it was more supposed to be a punch." I was considering how much Bridget hates me from me being me, I highly doubted she had any idea of who Brendon or I were.
"I'm going to contact the school about this." She started playing with my hair, twirling the brown strands around her fingers.
"No." I sat up, shaking my hair out of her hands. "They won't believe you if they don't believe me." I started heading towards the back door.
"Wait!" She tried again, but I didn't respond so she gave up.

I took out my phone when I was in the studio, Brendon, Tyler, and Josh were playing some songs and I was singing with them. I decided that I would check my private instagram page and somehow Bridget, Loch, Nick, and some of their friends found it. I only accepted Loch and Nicks follow requests and looked on Bridget's page, there was nothing special, there, just photos of her with her friends and other random things. One thing was missing, there were no photos of Loch or Nick on her page, with how often she posted photos you'd think that they would be on there somewhere... My only guess was that she had stopped being friends with those two, kicking them out of her little group even after they stayed quiet and didn't stick up for me in class. It frustrated me that they wanted to stay with her and her friends, who were obviously very toxic people, I couldn't believe that they didn't help me when I was practically in tears.

Out of frustration I threw my phone on the ground, all heads turning to me.
"Woah, calm down." Brendon picked up my phone and saw Bridgets page. "Who's this?"
"The girl who slapped me..." He handed me my phone and I turned it off, releasing a loud huff of air while I ran my hands through my hair, pulling slightly at my roots. Brendon cleared his throat and sat next to me, he was obviously about to tell me something so I turned my head to listen to him.
"Look, I can tell you're really stressed at the moment and I know you're taking all of your medication properly." I nodded, unsure of what he was going to say next. "The doctor gave you that..." He paused and regretted starting the sentence. "Wee-no... Marijuana card for you anxiety and other stuff, so if you ever want to try it, let me know." I sat there for a second and furrowed my brows after he sat his hand on my knee.
"Are you SERIOUS?!" I stood up, his arm falling off of my leg. "I WOULD NEVER FUCKING DO THAT." My voice broke when I yelled 'never'.
"Wai-" Tyler tried to grab my arm but I walked out, slamming the door behind me.
