Search & Seizure (Brendon Urie Fanfiction)

In the Middle of the Night (pt 3)

The doctor had returned with your results. Apparently you had a pretty bad virus and it threw your electrolytes off balance along with you entire immune system. Your blood work was all over the map and you were also incredibly dehydrated. Combine that with not being able to take your meds and the reason for your lengthy seizure became crystal clear.

You were resting while Brendon sat beside you when Emma entered the room.

"Hey," she waved quietly.

"Hi!" you replied warmly, along with Brendon. Damn. You are a sucker for a woman in uniform.

"I just finished my shift so I wanted to check on my favorite patient real quick," she smiled. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay," you said, "Just really tired."

"I bet," she nodded.

"Thank you so much, Emma," Brendon said sincerely.

"Of course!" She replied easily, "It's just my job."

"And you're really fucking good at it," Brendon thanked her.

"Thanks," Emma blushed. She is such a fangirl. Her heart always flutters when Brendon talks to her. She diverted the conversation away from herself, "I assume you guys are trapped here for the night, huh?"

"Yeah, probably until tomorrow even," you sigh.

"The fans will understand," Brendon said.

"What?" you looked to him, "You're still doing the show."

"I'm not leaving you to do a show," He laughed. You become a bit irritated.

"Oh my god Brendon," you complained, "I'm in the safest place possible. I think I can go a couple hours without you!"

"Can you?" Brendon shot back.

"You are letting thousands of people down!" You said, your voices rising.

Emma was suddenly uncomfortable, wishing she could fade into the background.

"The only person I care about is you!" He replied.

"Stop being so dramatic!" you rolled your eyes.

"What?" He questioned, "I'm just supposed to leave you here all alone?!"

"Um," Emma quietly stepped forward. You both looked at her. "I'm sorry, um... I just, I have tomorrow off, so..." She cut herself off, maybe thinking she was being too presumptuous. "I mean, I'm not you Brendon!" she quickly corrected herself, embarrassment painting her cheeks, "but I can always..."

"SEE?!" You interrupt, "I can stay with Emma! We'll be fine!"

Brendon narrows his eyes. He knows you're not about to back down.

"We can call Zack if we need anything and keep you updated with lots of selfies," You further convinced him, "It will be like you're still here! Oh, we could even facetime! This is perfect."

Emma's smirk was unmistakable. Brendon looked at her and back to you. He sighs.

"Emma, can I talk to you outside, please?" Brendon says. Emma agrees and follows him out.

Oh shit, what if he's going to scold her for offering something he wouldn't do? Does he feel like Emma overstepped a boundary? Emma's heart pounded. You watched their interaction through a crack in the blinds.

"Alright, you're SURE about this?" Brendon confirms.

"Yes," Emma replies seriously, "If she remains stable for the rest of the day, there is absolutely no reason that you couldn't step out for a few hours. The main reason she is still in the hospital is just to finish the medication she's on."
