Nicotine: the sequel to 'The Ballad Of Brallon'

The hangover

Dallons pov:

I get up off the couch quietly so that I don't wake Brendon. I walk over to where he's sitting and crouch down to read what's written on him. It says,

Dear Dallon, 

I couldn't believe I had run into you last night at the hospital. I thought it was fate bringing us back together. But, oh was I wrong. You're engaged to be married to this psychopath. I thought to myself I had my chance and I lost it. When I ran into you at the bar last night I knew it was a sign. I got you guys so drunk you didn't even know who I was. Turn to back.

I try to turn Brendon over. He's so hungover he doesn't even flinch. I continued reading the message.

I got one of my friends to help take you to my place. When I was giving you a blow job you got so hard. Brendon must not give them to you like I do. He got so jealous I let you fuck him. As long as you got to fuck me next. But, stupid Brendon started sobering up. We got into a fight. He tried taking you home with him and this is what happened. Now I'm gonna tell you this one more time. It's either him or me.

Love,

Spencer Reid

I'm panicking I can't  believe Spencer did this. I mean part of me still loves Spencer. He was the first love I ever had. I lost my virginity to him. But then, another part of me hates him for wanting me to give up music and to give up on my dreams. I also hate what he did to Brendon. I don't know what I'm going to do.

I try to shake Brendon awake. It doesn't work. Then, I head into the kitchen, fill a big bowl full of freezing ice water and dump it on Brendon. That wakes him up. He starts freaking out trying to get out of the duct tape. I help him out of the duct tape. He stands up and asks where our clothes are. I never thought to look I was paranoid by what was written on Brendon. We find them scattered in Spencer's room. Before we get dressed Brendon asks me to read what's written all over him.

He asks me why I never told him about running into Spencer. "I didn't wanna worry you," I tell him, "You already had so much going on I didn't want to add more stress." "Babe you can tell me anything," he says, "even if it's the fact that my bitch ass doctor, who I thought was a homophobe is really my fiance's crazy ex boyfriend." "Hey," I say trying to defend myself, "I'm not the only one with a crazy ex.""Maybe so. But, you are the only one that's going to help me wash all of this off my body," Brendon adds trying to have the last word. I tell him I'm alright with that and kiss him.

On the ride home Brendon looks at me with tears in his eyes and apologizes for giving me a terrible birthday party. I tell him besides being with my ex that was one of the best birthdays I've ever had. But, I think to myself was being with Spencer really that bad?
