EPIC'S POV

"Hey." I tell Christina, hugging her as I walk in. She hugs me back, bouncing happily. I go in and follow Chris to the living room. I find myself looking around for Brendon.

"He's in his room." Chris says catching me. "You could go up there if you want..." I look up at the stairs, but shake my head.

"No let's just work on this." I say, forcing myself to sit on the couch. Christina's face falls as she follows me.

"Okay...I guess let's start with algebra. The first problem is....'Which equation best represents a triangle with the length x+1 and the width x-1?'"

"Did you hear that? It was my brain exploding." I say sarcastically, stealing glances toward the stairs. Chris sighs.

"Epic, you're barely even listening. If you want to go up there, go."

"No...I'm fine. So help me with the triangle thing." I say and she does. About fifteen minutes later, I somewhat get it...

"So the answer is....?"

"Um...D...?"

"Yes!! Perfect! See you can do this!" She says but I must look really detached because she says, "Epic?"

"Yeah?"

"Go." She finishes simply. And before I can think about it, my stupid legs take me up the stairs. I stop in front of Brendon's door. I have no idea what to do, or what to say. I knock.

"Come in Chris." He says from inside. Slowly I walk in.

"It's um...not Chris." I say softly and he whips his head around to stare at me. He's in a computer chair with a guitar on his lap. "Uh...you play?" I ask nervously. He nods. "Cool. I love the guitar."

"Did you come up here for a reason? He asks in a harder tone.

"I guess I just wanted to say hi."

"Hi." Well then...

"Could you please look at me?" I ask, getting kind of annoyed. He turns around to face me and I walk over and sit on his bed. "We should talk."

"You're just a little girl. We have nothing to talk about." That hurt. I get up and go downstairs.

"Hey!! What happened?" Christina asks.

"Nothing important. Let's just get back to work." I say choking back tears.

"Oh my gosh Epic what did he do?"

"Nothing. I told you. Please just..." I start but somehow I just start crying. Christina hugs me.

"I'm getting him." She whispers.

"No don't--" But we all know she's already gone. After a few minutes of muffled arguing I hear them both come down and I try to dry my tears before Brendon sees me.

"Oh...Epic I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry." He says softly.

"Well you did!" Christina says grabbing his hand and then she takes mine and leads us both down the hall. She opens the door and pushes us in before closing the door. I reach for it but it's locked.

"Chris!!! Open the door!"

"No! Not until you two make up! And make out maybe..." She says giggling. I roll my eyes, and lean against the wall.

"Christina open this door. Now!" Brendon yells. But nothing happens.

I sigh and sit down on the floor. "It's no use." I tell him quietly. Then it's just like five minute awkward silence between us. So I start to sing. "I chimed in, hasn't Christina ever heard of--"

"Opening a god damn door." Brendon finishes with almost the ghost of a smile.

"FACE THIS WITH POISE AND RATIONALITY!!" Christina yells and Brendon rolls his eyes.

"I guess we're stuck in here for a while." He says.

"Yeah if only we had champagne to pour..." I say laughing a little.

"Actually..." Brendon says reaching into a box on the shelf. "Will Vodka do?" He asks pulling out a bottle and two glasses.

"Good enough." He pours me a glass and hands it to me.

"Cheers to...friends." He says clinking my glass. "I hope you'll forgive me for being a dick earlier." I laugh a little.

"Yeah I do, but Brendon...I can't be your friend." He frowns a little.

"Why not?"

"Because," I say kissing him, "I wanna be more." Brendon grins, running a hand through my hair.

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I feel the same way." He says still smiling.

"Good. Now kiss me already." He smiles and leans in, before his lips crash into mine. It feels like I'm floating. Then Brendon pulls away.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah."

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I smile, nodding.

"Of course!" He smiles but then I remember something. "Brendon, you're older than me."

"Yes that four-year gap is insurmountable isn't it?" He says sarcastically and I laugh.

"Thanks Four, but seriously though it's illegal in our state. I'm a minor."

"Well then I guess you'll have to be my little secret."
