Brendon's POV

I heard the front door open, and I already knew who it would be.

"Brendon, look I'm really sorry!" Ryan said as they ran into the room. I stood up from the bed, and just stared back at them. Do they really expect me to just forgive them like that?

Ryan stepped closer to me, but hesitated. They knew what I was thinking.
"Im sorry..." Ryan say once again.

"Where were you?" I ignore their apology completely.

Ryan looks down, ashamed. "Therapy.. I went to see a therapist."

"And you couldn't have just told me that?"

"It's more than tha-"

"Ryan, I was terrified. I-I didn't know where you were. I looked all over the place for you. I haven't eaten a real meal in..in weeks. I've been avoiding talking to people. I don't even remember what happened!" My speech soon turned into yelling.

"I said I was s-sorry..." Is Ryan crying..? Great. Now it looks like it's my fault. I walked over to Ryan, giving them a side hug while trying to be comforting.

"It's not...please don't cry." I said, and I felt so guilty. I can't say that it's not their fault, but what else can I do?

"N-no, no...you're right. I was s-stupid to not tell you. I just-well, I don't even know." They looked down at me and laughed.

"What?" I backed up, trying to find what was so funny.

"I'm an idiot, that's what. I wasn't aware that I would c-cause all of this." Ryan said as they sat on the floor. "I didn't think I mattered t-that much. Dallon told me everything, and I'm s-sorry."

I shook my head as I sat next to them. "You're not an idiot. And you do matter. You're an important person to plenty of people, Ryan"

"Thanks.."

I nodded, then frown. "Why did you go to therapy..?"

Ryan turned to face me, frowning as well. "I have an idea."

"What is it?" I ask.

"Gender change?"
