"...and then she died" i finished.
"so thats why your scared when i drink"
"yeah" i admitted. me and brendon were laying on my floor. i was in deep thought and brendon came to check on me then he asked what was up and insisted on listening.

"don't worry. i'll be careful"
"good" i rolled over and faced him properly. "can i say something?"
he looked at me. "go on" he said.
"it sucks when people make fun of your forehead" i said. he laughed a little.
"yeah its pretty shitty" he admitted.
"because if you didn't have your forehead you wouldn't be the same. its apart of you. and its what makes you, you. its beautiful" i replied.

"thats the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me" he wrapped his arms round me and squeezed me.
"stop!" i laughed. he did too.
"can i say something?" he asks.
"go on" i got out of his grip and sat up.
"i love you"

my heart literally stopped.
no one had ever said that to me before.
i'd always wondered what it'd be like to hear someone say that to me.
and now i knew, i knew it was the most amazing feeling ever.

"well i love you too. wow, i've never said that before" i laughed a little.
"am i the first person to say 'i love you' to you?" he asked, sitting up. i nodded.
"well, im honoured" he gave me another hug and kissed my head.
"im starving" he said.
"me too"

we went downstairs and i made us some sandwiches while brendon fed the dogs. then my phone buzzed.

justin: are u free rn??
me: im hanging w my dad. whats up?
justin: got into a fight with my mom

brendon leaned on my shoulder chewing, reading with me.
me: are you okay?
justin: can we hang out??
i looked at brendon.
"too last minuet. just invite him over" he said to me.
"are you sure?" i asked.
"positive"
me: wanna come over??
justin: u sure??
me; of course

i gave him my address and clicked off.
"i get to meet your boyfriend!" brendon grinned.
"he's not my boyfriend!"
"i know, i know" he ruffled my hair and finished his food.
five minuets later there was a knock at the door. i got up and was suddenly nervous. would brendon not like him? i still wasn't speaking to justin. would i mess up?

"hey you must be justin!" huh? i snapped out of it. brendon had opened the door! justin was standing at the door grinning.
"yeah uh you must be dylans dad"
"dylan?" brendon furrowed his eye brows. i hit him playfully.
he never calls me by my own name lol. always cute nicknames. i typed.
"cant relate" justin replied. "you forgot her name?" he asked brendon.
i smirked and brendon laughed.

i pulled justin to the kitchen.
i made you a sandwich i typed.
"thanks" he said. he seemed really down. wanna vent? i asked.
"yeah"
brendon went to the studio to finish up some work so we sat in the kitchen. he told me how his mom wanted him to be a doctor or vet but he wants to get into art and she dosent get it.

shes ur mom. she loves u. she'll prolly realise that ur her son and u gotta be happy. u gotta do what u love. ur parents are supposed to support your choices.

"you're right. i think she will come around. at first they hated that my sister was trans. but she soon started supporting her" he said. "thanks for listening" he added. i nodded in reply and smiled.

my dad wants to meet u properly i typed.
"oh shit" he exclaimed.
don't worry he's awesome. and over protective.
"your dad looks scary"
"thanks, i try" brendon closed the garden door and went to the fridge. i smirked and covered my mouth.
"fuck" justin mouthed. brendon walked over drinking a beer. he saw my face and he put his bottle down.
"come on" he pulled me outside and closed the door. "let it out" he said.

i started to laugh. "you came in at the exact moment" i exclaimed.
he laughed too. "i didn't even mean to" he grinned.
"he's a bit worried" i admitted. "don't be harsh" i added.
"i won't. promise"
we went back inside to see justin on his phone awkwardly. i sat down, brendon beside me.
"do i have permission to talk to your boyfriend?" he asked me. i hit his arm and justin giggled.
"what? im just asking!" he grinned
. he's an ass :( i typed to justin. i nodded to brendon signalling a yes.

"did you guys have fun on saturday?" he asked. i nodded. justin did too. "is this awkward?" we nodded again. i got up and connected my phone to the speakers. i pressed shuffle on spotify and breathin by ariana grande played.
"oh god" brendon rubbed his eyes. "you're obsessed with ariana grande"
"yeah, turn on bring me the horizon" justin said. i shook my head.
"turn it on" brendon said to me. i sighed and changed the song. oh no played.

"i like this" brendon bopped his head.
"better than ariana grande" justin teased me. i flipped him off.
"are you guys making any more plans?" brendon asked.
"we were thinking of going bowling on saturday" justin said.
"the place near the theatre?" brendon asked. i nodded.
"awesome"

ask him i showed justin.
"ask me what?" brendon asked.
"oh er i wanted to hear some of your music" he said timidly.
lstrawberry" brendon turned to me. i pressed shuffle on my panic! at the disco play list and victorious started playing. i plugged my earphones in and gave them to justin.

brendon passed me a bowl of strawberries. we ate them together while justin listened. i turned to brendon.
"i think he likes it" i whispered. "hes smiling"
and he was. he asked me to play another. i turned on king of the clouds.
"yes! this is my shit!" he grinned.
"its her favourite too" brendon said, referring to me. after that i chose dying in la.

brendon and justin got along well. and he was now a sinner.
