Hopeless Romantic -- Brallon

(Ryan R's POV. A very interesting and long chapter! Enjoy!)

GRR III

I hate him.

I've hated him since he stole Dallon away from everyone. I've hated him since we started being 'friends' in middle school. I hate Brendon Boyd Urie with all my mind, heart, and energy. Him and his dark brown eyes. His egotistical personality. His wide nose. His pathetic quiff of hair. His stupid laugh. His annoying smile.

Just... him.

It doesn't matter if Dallon might like him back. All I know is that Dallon should be with me.

.

Brendon is idiotic. What did he think would happen? Nobody has a chance with Dallon because Brendon is head over heels in love. He's ruining Dallon's love life without a hint of regret or knowledge.

I used to date Dallon in seventh grade. He loved me, and I love him. We used to be the shit. Brendon was just a nobody until he started hanging out with us. Unfortunately, Dallon and I broke it off because I had to move. Now after four years, I'm back at this hell of a school. And I come back to find out that Dallon has completely gotten over me, and Brendon is obsessed with him.

What the fuck.

Oh well. I'll have to push Brendon to the side if I want to be with Dallon again. That's fine. For all I know, the best is over and the worst is yet to come.

One of my friends who goes to this school told me everything. He said Brendon has been head over heels for my Dallon since I left. It was so obvious Brendon liked him before that, though. He was jealous of me because I was dating Dallon. Even if Dallon's perfect, he can be clueless sometimes.

I blink a few times and shake my head. I take a deep breath and get out of my car. I've never really seen the high school before since I left in seventh grade. As I walk inside, the other students are pointing and whispering. Even if I pay no attention, I can still hear what they're saying.

"Isn't that Ryan Ross? He moved back?"

"Didn't he used to date Dallon Weekes?"

I start to walk to my new locker, which was at the end of the hall because I transferred back at the end of year. It's stupid. I should've came back at the beginning of the year so I wouldn't have to get such a shitty locker.

I turn the corner to the hallway that has my locker. I see a certain someone fumbling with their lock in the middle of the aisle. Maybe my "end-of-the-hallway locker" wasn't so shitty after all.

I walk past and immediately get to my locker. He hasn't seemed to notice me yet. He's still trying to open his own lock. I open my locker and turn to face him.

"You've always had trouble getting your lock open. Want me to help?" I say as nicely as I can.

He seems startled at first but starts to speak. "Ryan? What are you doing here?"

"Well, Dallon, I moved back because my parents got sick of New York. The thing is, I'm here now and we can be together again!" I exclaim. I really hope he doesn't say otherwise. I swear to god if he actually does like Brendon back...

"Uh... We broke up, though...?" Dallon says, adorably confused.

"Correct. But I'm here now, so we can be back together and date again! Isn't that wonderful?" I nod my head, trying to get him to agree. He finally opens his locker and he looks at me.

"Ryan.. I'm sorry but I don't want to get back together. We can be friends, though. I'm just not looking for a relationship right now." He says, shaking his head.

Fuck.

"But we're meant to be together! Remember what we used to talk about? We would finally kiss, grow old together, adopt children?" I say, practically pleading. I lied a teeny bit on that one part. Me moving away wasn't all that caused the breakup. Dallon never even wanted to even kiss when we were together. I was so upset when he told me he didn't want to. All we did was hold hands and go on ice cream dates. Dallon must've loved it, but I hated it.

Now I want so much more than to kiss him.

"But that was four years ago! We were stupid and young!" Dallon exclaims. Well look who grew up.

I go on a rant. "What happened to the Dallon who was so hopeful and always looked to the future? Forever younger, growing older just the same! I said we would be together forever! And you wanted us to be! Now I'm here, and the only thing that's keeping us apart right now is yourself. Just like last time." Dallon shakes his head. Maybe Brendon got to him, that fucker.

I should stop being so nice. Why the hell doesn't he want to be together? "You know what? I don't care. I don't mind. But when you're done having fun, I'll be waiting here in line." I say.

He sighs and closes his locker. "Okay. I'm not with anybody right now, nor do I want to be. I might, but not currently."

I clench my fists. Anger boils in my veins. He doesn't even care about our relationship anymore.

"So you and Urie aren't a thing? Shame, I thought I'd have to pry him off of you..." I smirk, trying to get more of his attention.

He squints his eyes and smiles slightly. "I've been considering being with him, actually. I haven't even thought about you since a month after you moved."

Is he kidding? He better not be fucking kidding. That's heartless. He has to still love me. "That's not... that's not true, right, baby?" I try to hold Dallon's waist but he flinches and backs away. What? He doesn't even trust me to do that anymore?

"D-don't call me that. And don't talk to me. I don't care if we have classes together or anything. Our relationship stopped because you transferred. I moved on. Do the same, Ryan." He quietly says and walks away.

I'm hurt, but I try not to show it because there's still people walking through the hall. I scoff loudly. I turn to my locker again to put my books inside. I'm almost on the verge of tears. He really doesn't care about me anymore, does he? He's probably fucking Brendon or something.

I turn to walk to my first class but I see the one, the only, Brendon Urie in a trance, staring at the wall. He has a problem with daydreaming. He can't seem to pay attention most of the time. I decide to chat.

"Hello, Brendon." I say, not trying to seem upset.

He seems taken aback. "Hi, Ryan. So you moved back?"

I try to get to the point. "Yeah. Hey, you want to be with Dallon now, right?"

"Uh, yeah. I have been wanting to for a few years, actually." He says. Not surprising.

I scoff. "Obviously. He's so dense sometimes. I knew you liked him before I even moved away. But just know that he still doesn't like you. Dallon was mine, and is mine. You don't have a chance now that I'm back." I lie on the last part. Brendon will back off if he thinks Dallon and I are together again.

"Actually, I heard that conversation earlier. He sure as hell doesn't fancy you anymore." He says, full of attitude.

Damnit. He was eavesdropping. The bell rings so I walk away and try to get through the school day without crying.
