natalie's pov

never in a million years did i think that i would be in a hospital bed recovering from an anxiety attack. i didn't even know i had anxiety.

"how do you feel?" brendon asked. he seemed so shaken up.

"well, i've felt better." i said with i nervous chuckle. i didn't know if now was the time to crack a joke or not but oh well?

"i can imagine so." dallon chuckled.

"why didn't you tell anyone? about your anxiety i mean." brendon questioned.

"i don't know. i didn't know i had anxiety." i answered.

"have you ever had an anxiety attack before?" he questioned further.

"i really don't know. can you explain it to me?"

"well for me, i feel like i can't breathe. my palms get clammy and it feels like eveything is closing in around me."

"oh... well then yes. i've had a few."

"okay. well if you want, we can get you help for it. i won't make you, but i strongly suggest you do. even just meeting with a therapist every month could help." brendon explained.

"i... i don't really like talking to people that much... could we maybe just see a doctor? to get me on some medicine or something?" i was nervous about asking for medication. i didn't want to seem like i was some sort of pill fiend, but i also was  n o t going to a therapist.

"we could see about that. and i know you said you don't like talking to people, but you have to tell someone about things like this from now on. i want you to feel good. okay?" brendon said, with a concerned look.

"okay. thank you, i love you dad."

"i love you too sweetie, so much."

three days later

"fuck you dallon" brendon chuckled as dallon beat him again in mario kart.

"you wish." dallon retaliated under his breath. he didn't mean for anyone to hear it, but i was sitting right next to him. i couldn't help but smile and nudge him a bit with my elbow. he looked back at me in complete terror, face red as a tomato. good boy dallon isn't so good after all huh?

"oh dallon, you're cute." i patted his leg before standing up and waddling to the kitchen. i couldn't wait to get the damn boot off my leg in a few week(e)s.

i grabbed a yoo-hoo from the fridge. i shut the door and turned back to the living area when i ran straight into kenny. i hadn't talked to kenny since i got out of the hospital, so you can imagine how awkward this encounter was.

"uh, sorry." he said befor stepping out of my way.

i went to walk away, but he spoke again.

"wait, natalie. please."

i turned around to look at him, not speaking.

"look. i'm sorry about what i said. i was a complete idiot. i just didn't know you had a special talent. you never showed anyone really. that's what i meant. but i shouldn't have said it at all. and i'm sorry." he sighed.

"i-it's okay i guess." i looked to my feet. i said it so quietly i was sure he didn't hear it.

"thank you. for forgiving me."

i just walked away. when i entered the living area, dan was talking to brendon, while dallon sat alone, playing on his phone.

i plopped down so close to him i was practically on top of him.

"so what was that about earlier?" i whispered with a smirk.

"oh shut up, it was a joke you butt." he said playfully.

"sureeee." i said in response.

"oh you little-" he said before attacking me with tickles.

"no dallon! no stooop-" i giggled, before brendon joined in.

"why are you all ganging up on meeee? zack help me!" i yelled, and moments later zack barreled in and grabbed me away from dallon and brendon, and set me down on the floor.

"thank you my good sir." i said, tipping my non existent hat to him.

"no problem."

i went back to my bunk soon after, getting on my phone. you could say that i was quite educated on panic! at the disco and their fans. so i know about brallon. sometimes i tease dal and brendon about it, but i don't think they understand what i'm talking about. i have an undercover fan account on instagram, and it is so funny how much people want brendon and dallon to be together. i opened up instagram and decided to do some research on brallon. i knew about it, but i didn't know about what i was about to find.

dallon was a very different person onstage during the vices and virtues era.

"dallon!" i said excitedly. i was about to make him so mad.

"what do you want?" he replied as he walked to my bunk.

"what is this about?" i asked with a smirk, showing him a video of him and brendon's interesting onstage interactions during their last tour.

"jesus natalie, what did you even look up?" he said with a nervous chuckle.

"something the fans call 'brallon'."

"oh dear god."
