Hopeless Romantic -- Brallon

{33}

BBU

"M-my mom called. She said we're moving b-back to New York."

Well then.

"Why?" I ask. "It's not like you want to. I mean, you're crying."

"Well, duh. I-I never wanted to move to New York in the first place, but we did! Then we came b-back here, and now we're going back there." Ryan pouts and wipes tears away.

"Oh... Ryan, I'm so sorry." Dallon apologizes for nothing. It's one of his kind traits. He's just perfect like that.

"It's not your fault. Nothing is your fault." Ryan calms down enough to stop stuttering.

"Finally something we can agree on." I mutter.

Dallon nudges me in the rib and whispers. "Don't be rude!"

I shrug. "But he's been rude ever since he moved back."

"Can you stop talking like I'm not here?!" Ryan exclaims.

"This isn't what it looks like. I still hate you, it's not like you crying is going to change that." I explain. "Dallon is different. He cares about everybody."

Dallon opens his mouth to object, but doesn't say anything because he knows I'm right.

Ryan leans his head back against the wall and looks up at the sky. "You know we're still together, right, Dallon?"

He nods, with his blue eyes now dull. "Yeah. About that..."

"Go ahead. Say it." Ryan deadpans.

"Uh... I-I'm breaking up with you. I was never happy with you in the first place, and now that you're moving away, it gives me more reason to. Thanks for the memories, but I believe we're parting ways now. For the better." Dallon says, sincerely.

Ryan just... Ryan erupts. Like a volcano. "Why does this happen to me? My world always just crashes down all the damn time! I finally got you back, and now I have to move? And you have Brendon! I'll be back in New York, and you two lovebirds will be here, together. No one will love me! You didn't love me! Dallon Weekes! The person who virtually loves everybody! You broke my heart! Why does nobody love me?"

"Shit." Dallon simply curses.

I nod, yet again. "Yep. Shit is correct."

Dallon takes a deep breath and sits down on the ground, criss-cross-applesauce. I follow suit, and Ryan is practically hyperventilating at this point.

Dallon attempts to calm Ryan down with an explanation. "First of all, I don't break hearts. That's not me."

Ryan and I look at each other in disbelief. Did this fucker seriously say he doesn't break hearts?

"Are you serious, Dallon?" I laugh dryly. I gesture to myself. "Example A." I gesture to Ryan. "Example B."

"Okay, whatever." Dallon rolls his eyes. "Secondly, it'll be fine. You'll be in New York, and you'll probably find someone there! Someone better than me. I swear, there are so many other people in the world! Someone will love you, but someone isn't me. We've tried. We don't belong together, Ryan."

"Can I include something?" I ask.

Dallon nods.

"Maybe people would like you if you stopped being such a fucking asshole. Be nice to people. Whether it be the person you like, or the person you absolutely hate." I say.

"I get that we hate each other. Thanks for that, Brendon." Ryan glares daggers at me.

"Anytime." I respond.
