Hey Moon, Don't You Go Down (Brendon Urie FanFic)

Taking Everything For Granted (Chapter 17)

BRENDON'S POV

______________________________________________________________________

I need to stop and call Pete and tell him I'm not going to be able to record for a little bit. I don't wanna leave her alone and I don't wanna take her to the studio. If I take her with me, she's not going to have time to just relax and clear her head. She's only been here 2 days and she's already at her breaking point. I want to be there for her until she gets better. I don't want her doing anything stupid.

I grabbed my Iphone and dialed Pete's number. He picked up on the second ring.

"Hey Pete! I've, uh, got something to tell you..." I told him slowly. Hopefully he's not mad. A mad Pete is not good for anybody.

"Hey man! Sure! What is it?" He said happily.

"Okay, well, you know last night how we went out? Well, Moon and I, we uh, hooked up and then today she went back to her place to break up with Tristan. She did break up with him and then he stormed out. Then about an hour ago she got a call on her phone saying Tristan was in a car accident so we're at the hospital now waiting for him to wake up from sugery."

"Oh wow! Is he okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, he's fine! I think she just needs to see and hear it," I told him. Moon thinks the crash is her fault. She feels bad so I think she needs to hear him say it wasn't her fault.

"Okay, so, why aren't you going to be able to record?"

"Well, I was going to stay with her for a couple days to make sure she's okay. I don't want her doing anything stupid, I mean, she's in that huge house all by herself. And I don't wanna take her to the studio because I think she needs to relax and just chill," I said. I hope she lets me stay with her or she stays at my place for a couple days.

"Thanks for telling me. We'll just record the song that Ryan wanted to do by himself," Pete said. YES... I get a couple days off.

"Thank you so much, Pete! I'm so sorry for all of this.. I know we've been putting off recording for a while, but this is important."

"Dude, I don't know what it is, but theres a vibe around you two. I know she said she's a huge fan, but she looks at you with more than just a fan girl like or something. I hope you're not just going to fuck her and leave after a couple days, because if you do, that could put some tension between all of us."

"Oh no, no, no, no. I'm not going to do that. She means a lot to me right now. She's not like some girl backstage, she's... she's just got something about her that I don't want to leave. I don't think I can leave her," I told him truthfully.

 I walked to the cafe and got a water and a coffee. I paid and walked back to the room. When I opened the door, I saw Moon leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed. She was holding one of Tristan's hands for support. I set her water on the table beside her and walked over and sat down on the couch on the other side of the room. I'm just going to leave her alone to think.

 MOON'S POV

Tristan woke up from surgery about 30 minutes ago. He knows that both of us are here, but he's not really talking to us. I don't blame him either. Brendon's sitting on the couch being all awkward and not saying anything, but both of them keep glaring at each other. I need to talk to Tristan alone. Without Brendon in the room.

"Hey Brendon..." I trailed off. I don't want him thinking anything bad. Oh god, what if he thinks I want to get back together with Tristan?

"Hey Moon..." He said while getting up and walking towards me. He stopped infront of me and bent down so he was eye level with me.

 "Could you maybe go wait outside for a couple minutes so I can talk to Tristan?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I've gotta go call Ryan anyway and see if he can go walk bogart around the neighborhood. I'll be back in like, 15 minutes then we can go back to your place if that's okay?"

"Yeah, that's fine. Thank you," I told him. He leaned down and pecked my forehead before leaving.

 I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I really do hate the smell of hospitals. They smell almost too clean. I need to make sure Tristan's not mad at me and everythings okay. C'mon Moon, you can do it. You owe him an explanation.

"Tristan... I'm sorry. For everything. I know that probably doesn't mean anything to you, but I'm sorry," I told him while looking out the small window.

 "Moon, the crash wasn't your fault. I was being an idiot and got drunk," he said while playing with his hospital gown. Ew, hospital gown's are gross.

 "I wasn't just talking about the crash you know..."

 "Well, I guess you're talking about breaking up with me then."

 "Yeah, I am. Can I at least explain myself?" I said while looking at him finally. He looked up and sighed.

"Yeah, go ahead. I mean, I guess I saw it coming too and yeah, it hurts, but maybe it's for the better."

"Exactly. We've been together for years and it was when we were teenagers, which was the time we were supposed to be having fun and not worrying about relationships. I just felt like everything was getting boring. Not that you're a boring person, just the conversations and we don't have much in common. Maybe you should go back home and be with friends and family and meet some new people. I've met a TON of new people already and it's made me stop and think," I told him. I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and it feels amazing.

"You know what, maybe I do need to meet new people. You're right. And I know you well enough to know that you feel guilty about everything that has happened, but don't. Things happen for a reason," he said while grabbing my hand and giving it a squeeze.I looked at him and smiled.

I heard the door creak open and saw Brendon poke his head through. I gave him a smile letting him know that everything was fine. He walked in the room and stood behind me.

"So... is everything fine now?" Brendon asked us. I leaned my head back so I could look at him. He smiled down at me.

"Yeah, everythings fine," I said with a smile.

"Okay, do you wanna head out? It's getting kinda late... it's already 8ish..." he said while looking at the clock.

"It's already 8? Woah, okay. Well, um, I guess we'll be heading out then Tristan," I stood up and walked over and gave him a half hug, considering he is laying down.

"Okay, I'll text you or something when I get out tomorrow and then I'll come by and get my things I guess," he trailed off, feeling awkward.

"Uh, yeah, that's fine. Bye Tristan.."

"Bye Tristan..." Brendon said while leading me out the door.
