Back Again//// Ryden **Completed**

Broken-Hearted

Brendon's POV. 

"Bye..." I whisper as the car pulled out of the driveway. 

Walking back inside just hurt. No matter how hard I try, I know one thing for certain. 

I'll never see him again.

He's never coming home. 

"Come on! You've been alone for days!" Dallon pounds on the door again. "Let's go to a bar!" 

"No!" I shout. 

He knocks again before letting out a sigh in frustration. "Spencer, get someone else." He shouts. I hear him walk down the stairs. 

"I'll go." A muffled voice says. Footsteps up the stairs. 

"Brendon." He says. "It's Mikey." 

"Go away." I sigh. I lean my head on the door. 

"You know we will never leave you, Spencer, Dallon, my brother, Pete. And everyone else. We'll never leave you alone, not like this. You need help." He says. "Come on, open the door." He whispers. 

"But he left. He's never coming back. Never." 

"I know what you mean. Pete and I... We were never meant to last, but you and Ryan... You were made for each other." 

"Doesn't matter now... Does it?" I stand up and crack the door open, just a bit. I sit on the bed. He walks in and closes the door. 

"It hurts," I say, finally I let myself break down. He wraps his arms around me. 

"It's okay." He says. "It's going to be fine." 

"It's j-just. The first time I lost him- I never thought I'd ever see him again." I stutter. "And when he finally came back- I thought it was fate- like we really were meant for each other- but..." I lean on Mikey. "Then he leaves again." I finish. He rubs my back. 

"When Pete left the first time- I'll be honest, I was broken- then he came back, and it was one of the happiest moments of my life. Do you know how I got through it though?" I shake my head no. "I talked to people, forced myself to stay social. I talked to Gee, Frank, everyone close to me. You should do the same, don't shut everyone out." 

"B-but you and Pete broke up." 

"So?" He smiles. Then he looks over. "Your phone is ringing." I turn around and see the caller I.D. 'Unknown.'

"Hello?" 

"BRENDON." 

"Ryan? Is that- Are you okay?" 

"There's been a shooting, everyone is has been taken hostage, except for my- uh Riley and I." He says with a panicked voice. 

"Where are you?" I say. Mikey looks at me, then he nods. He gets up. 

"Let's go." He says. 

"I'll be there soon Ryan, don't worry." I end the call and walk out the door. Mikey follows me. 

"Where do you think you're going?" Pete asks. 

"Somewhere," I mutter. Mikey and I walk out the front door, leaving everyone behind. "Thanks," I whisper to Mikey as he starts the car. 

"Anytime." He says.
