He Cared

"So, when are you going to tell the fans about you and Amelia?" Tyler asked Brendon while plopping down on the love seat.

I sat down on the couch, feeling a little anxious of what the fans were going to think. I mean, i'm dating their idol. They're not going to accept me, and I know it. 

"How about right now?" Brendon half asked, sat down next to me, and pulled out his phone.

Josh eventually came out from the kitchen with two glasses of water. He walked over to me, smiled, and handed me one of the glasses of water.

"Thanks!" I smiled back.

"No problem." He beamed, and walked over to Tyler, scooting him more to the side so he could sit next to him. 

"Scopin'" Brendon said, which caused me to give him a confused look.

"It's Periscope! We can talk to all the fans!" He said excitedly, which made me giggle.

"Guys, this is Amelia, and I have something to announce about us." Brendon turned the camera to me, and all the comments fled with things like 'omg, she's gorgeous!' and 'she's beautiful!' I smiled, and looked down at the floor. He moved the camera back onto his face.

I scooted towards him, and he put one hand around my body as I cuddled into the crook of his neck. I watched the comments flood with things like 'You guys are so adorable!' and a bunch of 'awe's.

"Are you guys dating?" Brendon read a comment mockingly, and smiled. 

"Actually yes, we are! We've actually been together for about a month and a half" He beamed, and I smiled.

The comments were flooding with opinions. Most were really kind and nice. Others, not so much. A ton of comments consisted of 'congratulations!', 'You guys are so perfect for each other!' and 'Ahhh! You are both so adorable!'

But on the other hand, a few people were saying some pretty mean things like, 'You are so ugly, i'm surprised B actually likes you', and, 'You should actually kill yourself. You are just using B's money, and you don't even love him! How about you just end everything? You won't be missed anyway.' I frowned and looked down. Those comments hit me hard, and I could tell Brendon knew.

I stood up, and walked into the kitchen. I just needed a minute to actually gather myself. Or pieces of myself, really. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Tyler whisper something into Josh's ear. 

I sat down on the kitchen stool, and put my head in my hands. Tears found their way out of my eyes. Yeah, yeah, I know it's pathetic that I care this much about what people think, but I just want to be accepted and not hated on. Small, quite whimpers made their way out of my mouth. I just wish people understood how much Brendon means to me, and how much I love him.

"Guys! You need to stop saying things like that, it's so disrespectful. I really thought that you would be happy for us, and I know most of you are. But those of you who don't like the idea of me and Amelia together, go fuck yourself. I care about her so much, and it breaks me to see mean comments about her. I love her to death, and I just wish you guys would see that." Brendon told the fans.

A few more tears and sniffles later, I heard footsteps behind me, and I looked out of the corner of my eye. Josh. Quickly, I wiped my tears, put on a smile and turned to face him.

"Hey!" I said a little too happily.

"You don't need to pretend that you're happy around us. We're friends. Best friends even. You can talk to us about these things" He walked over to the chair stool next to me, and sat down. We both turned to face each other.
