Complications(Adopted by Brendon Urie)

17. "Take a break."

Liz was straddling me, a hint of insanity in her eyes. I stared at her before struggling to get her off of me, yelling. "Help! Someone get her off of me!"
She laughed loosely before taking out a shiny metal object and holing it to my neck, it took me a moment to realise what she was doing before I struggled again. "I thought you loved me!"
"You don't love me! At least in this life..." She looked away and loosened her grip on me, which I took to my advantage and tried to push her off of me, but she quickly pressed the knife to my neck again.

"Well you knew how I feel about drugs! Yet you chose to fuck shit up and fucking take BATH SALTS of all things!" I looked around and saw that the security guards were questioning wether or not they should interfere with us.
"That's why I want us to restart in different lives up in heaven or some shitty afterlife bullshit where we will be together!"
"Do you want to be together in hell? Because I sure as hell want to stay away from that shitty place for as long as I can."
"We'd be together!" She seemed as if she wasn't going to stop soon.
"You're acting as if I won't remember any of this, and in which case, you wouldn't remember me!"
This made her think for a second before mumbling "Not if I give you permanent brain damage." To herself.

After hearing what I guess was only for her I screamed: "WHAT?!" And started struggling, successfully pushing her off of me. I started scooting away from her, when some of the guards grabbed me and put me behind them where Brendon was. I immediately hugged him and started shaking.
"Shh... You're fine, you're alive..." He whispered into my ear and I sighed, only shaking slightly less and feeling a tiny bit safer in his arms.
"C-can I go b-back to the bus?"
"Sure honey, I don't think we'll continue this meet and greet..." I wasn't the typical person to enjoy being called pet names, but Brendon was one of the few people who I was okay with calling me them. Everyone was escorted out of the room and to the bus, where we all got in and started do their own things in silence. I remembered that my crutches were still in the meet and greet room so I informed Brendon who messaged Zac to get them for me.

I was sat on the couch, Brendon had taken my phone away from me because he thought I would probably find people tweeting at me like what was happening to him and the others. I tried to lean onto Dallon and look at his screen as he was scrolling through twitter but he pushed me away, then suggested that I should get ready for bed. When I asked him the time he said it was 12am, so I got up and went to the bathroom. I wiped off my makeup and got changed into underwear and a random band t-shirt before saying my goodnights to everyone. Surprisingly, I felt myself drifting off once I closed the curtain to my bunk.

"You can't baby her! She needs to learn how to cope without you!" I slowly stirred awake from the voices of two people arguing.
"Well I don't think now is the best time to leave her!" The voices sounded the same, it was hard distinguishing who they were due to me just waking up.
"You were just with her for a solid week! She needs her space!" My brain started slowly piecing together the different bits of information that was being given to me by the current conversation.
"Well it seems whenever I'm not with her some cunt just comes and messes shit up for her!" I realised that Luke was speaking to one of the other guys, due to the fact that his accent came through in that sentence.
"You know what that's called? Life!" I was still having trouble figuring out who the other person was.
"Life?! Does life include your drug addicted girlfriend attacking you several times?! And petty fucking pricks beating you to a pulp for no reason?!" He started talking about no other person than Bridget, the bitch who I hated almost as much and Liz.

"Well that's how life goes for some people! She needs to learn to cope without you! Imagine how she'd react if something happened to you and you died!"
"Well there's an extremely small chance of that happening!"
"There's an extremely small chance of getting terminal cancer and surviving, yet she did, there's an extremely small chance of being orphaned from a car crash, then being adopted into an extremely loving and caring family, and guess what? That happened!" From what the other guy said I figured out that he was Brendon, and as much as I wanted to interfere I didn't want to cause more drama so I rolled over and blocked my ears, hoping that I'd fall back asleep.
"It's not safe for her at the moment! Liz keeps on getting to her! I feel like it'll be safer if she comes and stays with Sarah or I." It seemed as if they knew what I was doing and both of their volumes increased.
"If she stays in L.A Liz will be able to get to her way easier! Plus she has been really looking forward to this tour. Also, she hasn't cut so far, which just says that you don't have to be with her every second of every day!"
"I know she's been looking forward to this but couldn't you just re-schedule it?"
"No! This has been planned for months! Even before we adopted her, plus she'd absolutely hate me and isolate herself if I forced her to go home..."
"She could just take a break."
"Today is the first day of tour, she doesn't need a break at all..." Brendon said through gritted teeth.
"How do you know how she feels?!"
"I can say the same thing to you!"
"Well why don't we ask her then!"
"I swear to god if you wake her up..." I heard footsteps coming towards my bunk and shut my eyes, pretending to be asleep. Right as the curtain opened a slight bit I heard a grunt then a body hitting the ground. "Are you deaf! She needs her sleep, she gets fatigued so easily, and you should know that with all of the skating you two do together!"
"Fuck dude," Luke sighed. "You're lucky she's in there or I'd beat the living shit out of you..." I started to get worried, and hoped that one of the other guys would interfere before everything escalated.

"Guys, please calm down..." Dallon did just what I thought and I breathed a soft sigh of relief. "If you don't quiet down or take this somewhere else you will wake her up, and knowing her, she'd not side with either of you because of how goddamn immature you're being..."
"Let's take this outside then..." Luke grumbled and I prayed that Brendon would be a responsible adult and decline the offer.
"Sure." I could physically hear Brendon rolling his eyes sarcastically.
"You think I'm not being serious? I'd knock you out right now if I could!"
"Why don't ya? I dare you too." I heard who I presumed to be Luke's footsteps going towards where Brendon was, followed by another grunt and something hitting the ground.

"What was that for?!" Luke yelled.
"First, shut the fuck up before you wake her up, and second, I'm being the bigger person in this situation, I could've punched you, I have the capability too, but instead I pushed you away and you just happened to fall to the ground, now get the fuck out of this bus before I do anything else..."
"I'm not leaving until I talk to her."
"She's asleep you fuckhead!"
"Well I'll wait."
"Outside."
"Why can't I stay in here?"
"Oh I don't know? You've been trying to fight me for the past 5 minutes!"
"I'm not going outside."
"I'll make you then..." Brendon cracked his knuckles before starting to move towards Luke, by this point I'd started to have enough of them.

"Hey what are you d-"
"Enough!" I opened up my curtain and carefully got out of my bunk to find Brendon standing over Luke with his shirt fisted in his hand. "You guys are being so fucking stupid and immature right now! I've been listening to you two go on and on and on for what feels like forever!"
"Ba-" Luke started but I held my hand up.
"Don't you fucking dare to 'Babe' me Luke, you just tried to beat up the person who's given me purpose to fucking live!" I saw Brendon smirking at Luke and I turned my attention to him.
"Also, you totally could've dealt with this so much more professionally than you have and are, so don't look so fucking smug." His smirk was wiped and replaced with a slightly annoyed look.
"I'm sorry, it's not my fault Luke here was demanding for you to go home!"
"Oh come on! I'm just looking out for her, she's basically my little fucking sister!"
"Well sometimes siblings can take a break from each other every once im a while!" They continued arguing and I looked at the other guys with a look of 'I need help please help me' but they just held their hands above their heads, signalling that they didn't know what to do.

"Just SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled and everyone turned to look at me. "I wish I didn't have to side with either of you but I have too, because if I go home Luke's gonna try and visit me, and if I stay on tour I'm gonna have to pretend that I'm not feeling shitty towards Brendon..." I crossed my arms and looked between the two, who both looked pretty pissed and raised my eyebrows.

"Well who are you going with?" Luke mumbled and I let out a sarcastic laugh.
"You really think that's a hard decision?! I'm staying with Brendon and the rest of the guys on the tour!" I continued giggling and a huge smirk was plastered onto Brendon's face. I dropped my laughter and wiped my face of emotion. "Only because I want to get the fuck away from my school and forget about all of the shitty shit that's happened over the months." I then hopped over to Luke and gave him a hug. "I'll see you later?"
"Yeah..." He smiled slightly and hugged me back.

He left the bus and after he pulled out of the venues parking lot I turned to Brendon and tried to punch him in the gut with as much force as I could, but failed because of how small and weak I am.
"What do you think you're doing?" He smirked and I gave him a look.
"I'm trying to shank ya." I punched him again and he just shook his head.
"Let's try this when you don't have a broken leg, okay?" He smiled and I looked up at him innocently.
"Sure... But that's in a month or so though, I'll probably forget about it..." I laughed at myself and he just gave me a look of amusement.
"Go back to sleep, we have a big day tomorrow..." He pulled me in for a hug and I hugged him back, then got a hug from everybody else before climbing back into my bunk.
"I love all of you." I said before closing my curtain, and a series of 'I love you too''s were said before I drifted off to sleep to the sounds of their whispers.
