natalie's pov
dallon called me, saying that he had something important to tell me, and that he would be over in 15 minutes. i could tell it was bad, just by the sound of his voice. after almost 5 years with someone, you can instantly tell by their voice how they are feeling.
brendon finally came out of the studio about 5 minutes before dallon was said to arrive.
"dallon's coming over, he said he needed to talk to me." i told brendon.
"i know. he told me." brendon said. he didn't look happy about it.
"oh, okay. you okay dad?" i asked, noticing that he was actually angry.
"i'm fine. go let dallon in." brendon said as a knock sounded on the door.
i did as brendon told me, finding a sad looking dallon when i opened the door.
"hey dal, what's up?" i asked when we sat down on the couch. as soon as i let dallon in, brendon went back out to his studio, slamming the door when he left. he didn't even look at dallon.
"i don't really know how to say this nat. i-i'm... i'm leaving the band. i wont be touring or contributing anything to the band anymore. i'm leaving." he said, a single tear rolling down his cheek.
"what? no! dallon... why?" i scrambled to find the words to say to him. i couldn't believe that he was leaving. what if i never saw him again?
"i've decided to move onto something else that i have been working on for a while with a friend. a new band." he said, looking me dead in the eyes.
"does that mean i'm not going to see you at all anymore? are you still going to come over, hang out, text me whenever you get bored or if i get sad?" i asked. i couldn't fully comprehend the fact that he was leaving. it felt like a nightmare. dallon and i were so close, he was like almost another dad to me.
"not as much, but i will try my best. and i will always text you if you need me. you can come to the house whenever you want. i'm going to miss having you around all the time, so you better come see me before you go off to college or whatever you want to do." dallon said, bringing me into a hug.
at this point, i was full on sobbing. i didn't know how i would feel without dallon around. he was one of my best friends, since i didn't have many my own age.
"o-okay. i'm going to miss you so much." i sputtered, squeezing him harder.
"i'm going to miss you too. remember, i love you nat. you are like a daughter to me. i've got to go now, but i'll talk to you soon okay?" dallon said as he stood up and made his way to the door. i followed suit, and gave him a small hug.
"okay. i love you too dallon."
that was when he walked out the door. little did i know that it would be for the last time.
