Would You Mind? (A.P Fanfic)

Sitting In Silence (39)

Danielle's P.O.V
"Brandon... this is a really long hug." I said, beginning to feel awkward although I really shouldn't be

"Sorry, one second." He said

I felt his hand lift from my waist and to his face

I'm guessing he wiped a tear or something but once he was finished we detached from eachother

"Anyway..." I said, brushing of my clothing as if it was dusty, "what did you need me here for?" I asked as we went to the table to sit down

Brandon took a deep breath then said, "You need to see Austin."

"I really don't." I scoffed and looked away from him

"But you really do." Brandon said in reply

All I did was roll my eyes so he took that as an opening to continue talking

"He isn't any better than you are. Do you see yourself?" He asked, lowering his voice

"I think I look perfectly fine." I said, shifting in my seat knowing that he was actually right. I'm not fine

"Do I need to elaborate?" He asked

"Enlighten me. And please, don't hold back." I sarcastically and easily replied, leaning back in my seat and crossing my arms

Brandon gave me a look that said 'say no more' as he opened his mouth to speak once again

"First off your attitude has gone to shit-" he started

I didn't think he was actually going to start off that brutal but I shouldn't have expected anything less

"Second, you look fucking dead. I know you're not eating. Third, you clearly haven't been getting sleep and your obvious bags are telling me that. Fourth, Kaylee has told me the way that you have been acting towards the girls. They are your best friends, more like sisters. You're not supposed to be a bitch and close them out in a time like this but that is exactly what you're doing and how you're acting." Brandon finished what he was saying with a deep breath to calm his nerves

I was sitting in pure shock

"I... You're right." I replied to what he said in shame

"This is all because of what happened between you two. Austin isn't any better. We had to postpone everything we have been doing as a band because he can't get on his two fucking feet. He's just like you, not eating, not sleeping, not coming out of his room, being rude to everyone. He tried to pick a fight with nick and knowing nick, he got riled up because of Austin's actions-" I quickly cut him off

"Did they actually fight?" I asked leaning forward

Brandon was silent for a couple minutes then finally spoke up

"Austin punched nick so because nick got mad and couldn't control his anger..." Brandon trailed off

"What? What did he do Brandon?"

"He tackled Austin and Austin got a couple blows to the face. We broke it up as soon as we heard Was was going on and got to them quick enough for them to do anymore damage to each other." Brandon said ashamed

"Fuck." I whispered, putting my head in my hands

"This is breaking down the band, breaking down Austin, and breaking you down. This needs to end right now or I will end it myself." Brandon said in a completely serious tone then said, "and I don't think you want me to do that."

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, looking down at my lap and twiddling my thumbs as a genuine tear drop fell onto my cold hands

That caused Brandon's cold exterior to thaw as he began feeling lots of emotion again

"Dani... you're really my best-girl-friend and I can't lose you over you and Austin having this feud. You guys are perfect for each other and shouldn't let some... large bumps in the road ruin what you have. You guys need to talk to each other and fix this because we all know that you guys can and will work out in the end. The only question is when will things start being worked out." Brandon said with another explanation as he began standing up and I just kept sitting in silence

"Do you want me to bring Austin over here because if I told him that I was taking him to see you, he would get out of his room in a heartbeat." Brandon offered

In a split second I threw my chair back, standing up and throwing myself into Brandon's arms

"Please." I said into his chest while his arms wrapped themselves around me

By now my slight tears turned into a river of emotion just pouring itself out of my eyes

Luckily no one was really here to see this dramatic scene unfold... other than one random guy who had his headphones on and were consumed into his Netflix show that was displayed off of his laptop

"I will bring him." Brandon said, his grip tightening on me, "You and him deserve the best and the best is each other. Please fix this Dani." He said

"I will. I really will."
