Original Sin // Brendon Urie

Chapter 2

Brendon led us to a room in one of the halls, just as we were about to go in my mom turned in the opposite direction.

"I'm so sorry but I have to run to the restroom briefly. Please go on in and i'll be right there." Before I could object she was scurrying down the hall.

"Go ahead and come in, Ms.Sharp." I hadn't noticed I was just loitering. Quickly and avoiding his gaze I sat down in one of the chairs. I stared at the ground, but I could feel his eyes on me. I had to check, and when I looked up he pushed his glasses up with a smirk. "So what were you laughing about earlier?"

"I told you, nothing." He looked taken aback by my answer.

"Why must you be so hostile towards me? Did I do something wrong?" His eyes softened a bit and I felt guilty for being rude.

"You just caused a bit of a scene earlier.

"I'm truly sorry, Hera, you'll have to forgive me." He remembered my name from before. "I don't suppose you were interested in any of the jobs from earlier?" His gaze made me shiver. It felt strange.

"Maybe. But I need a job right now, and those were more like careers." Brendon stood up from his computer stand and made his way over to me slowly. His chocolate brown eyes locked onto mine, and I felt so vulnerable. I crossed my arms and leaned back away from him.

"But there happens to be a paid internship opening to work personally for me." He lowered his voice and spoke with a kind of growl. Before I knew it he was back on the other side of the tiny room, leaning against one of the counters.  I was trying to find my words when my mom walked into the room.

"I'm back, sorry I took so long doctor." Brendon smiled at her.

"No no, it's fine. I was just getting to know Hera here a bit." He smiled at me and pulled at his lip slightly with his teeth.

"Oh that's wonderful. Are you two getting along?" My mom was overly excited about everything.

"I think we were getting along lovely. I was just talking to her about the paid internship to work with me." Her eyes widened.

"That would be great! She's been looking for a job for weeks you know." My mom and Brendon continued to small talk throughly during the appointment. They did all the normal check up stuff, and I finally thought I could be on my way when my mom stood up to leave. I was following her until I felt a strong hand grab my wrist. It was cold.

"Mrs.Sharp. You wouldn't mind if I held Hera back for a little would you? I need to ask her something, about the internship." His lips curled upwards into a smirk when he mentioned the last part.

"No, take all the time you need." She looked at me. "I'll be in the car Honey." His hand still had a firm grip on my wrist, and he spun me around into the room. He closed the door behind us.

"Listen, Brendon, or Dr.Urie, or whatever. I don't want your internship." He stepped closer to me, backing me into one of the corners.

"You should at least think about it. I'm sure there are all kinds of things I could teach you." His free hand came to rest on my side and I quickly broke away from him. I didn't like the way he was making me feel.

"We'll see."

With that I turned and left the room, climbing into the backseat of the car. My mom ecstatically talked about how gentlemanly he had been, and even mentioned a few times how a doctor would be someone good for me. I nearly choked on my water when she said that, having to swallow a few times. I hoped she just meant any doctor, and not specifically Brendon.

I was certain that I never wanted to see him again, but once I was home I discovered the same slip of paper Ms.Anderson had put in his coat in my jeans pocket. This time a number had been crossed out and replaced with a new one, probably Brendon's. But why would he give me his number? Was it about the internship or something else?

He was strikingly handsome, and It was really cute how he pushed his glasses up like that, and his eyes were- no. He acted a little like he was flirting with me but I didn't need to think about him in that way. My mother's own doctor for christ sakes. Frustrated, I put his number into my phone and changed into some pajamas. An overly sized t-shirt and some shorts would do nicely. It was still quite early in the day, but I wanted to stop thinking about Brendon and I wanted to take a nap.

I groggily rolled over when I heard knocking on my door. I didn't know what time it was but I didn't want to get up.

"Wake up, Hera. I've got dinner ready." I guess I had only been out for a few hours. Lazily I rolled out of my comfy bed and dragged myself to the dinner table. I was still half asleep while I ate, but my mom was rambling about how busy tomorrow would be. "I have a lot of paperwork to do tomorrow so i'll need you to go run some errands for me, thankfully it's Saturday." I finished my diner and went back to bed, nothing really eventful happening. The next morning I woke up, and I could feel the spot where Brendon had touched me. I had forgotten about him briefly.

I quickly turned the shower on. Stripping and tossing my clothes to the floor, I slowly eased under the hot water. It felt nice, and I lingered in there longer than I probably needed to. The clean feeling it gave me was one of my favorites in the world. A feeling I didn't like nearly as much was when I could tell I was getting sick. Not even two full weeks after my encounter with Dr.Urie, it seemed I would be forced to visit him again.

There were other doctors there though. What were my chances of getting him, they couldn't be too high. Right?
