bad girls don't cry {brendon urie x reader}

{album release}

  i woke up to the sun beaming in my face. i rolled over and accidentally smacked brendon in the face.

  "well good morning to you too." he grumbled.

  i let out a chuckle and cuddled into him, "sorry, bean boy. i forgot you were here."

  "it's alright. you were pretty upset last night. did something happen?" he asked.

  i sighed , "well, one thing you should know about me, is that i used to get abused by my stepdad. he would hit me over the stupidest things and i didn't tell ryan about it for a long time. the night i met everyone at gee's was a night i will never forget. ryan and i came home from gerard's at like two in the morning and we tried to sneak up to our rooms but i failed. our step dad yelled, kicked, punched, and slapped me silly. ryan pulled him off of me and my mom called the cops. that night was a disaster. i have never felt that weak in my whole life and i hope to never feel that way again."

i looked up and saw brendon with tears in his eyes. he didn't say a word, he just pulled me into the tightest hug possible.

"i'll always protect you no matter what, baby." he whispered.

we pulled away and i wiped a stray tear that fell from his eye.

"don't cry, bren. it's in the past. i have you to be my superhero now." he smiled and kissed my forehead.

we got out of bed and brendon left to go to his room. i quickly changed, put my hair in a messy bun, and walked downstairs. my phone buzzed in my pocket and i picked it up to look at it.

manager kate💰
hey y/n! today's the day you release your album. do you want to come to the studio to listen to it before putting it out?

y/n✨
yeah i'll be there in 30!
i can't wait!

i grabbed a monster from the fridge and put on my black slides. i was just about to walk out the door when brendon walked up next to me.

"where ya goin?" he asked.

"to the studio. i need to listen to the album again before putting it out." i replied and opened the door.

"can i come with?"

"sure. i'm leaving right now though. are you ready?" i glanced at him to see him in a black harley davidson shirt, black jeans, and tennis shoes.

"yup! let's go take a listen to this album shall we." he grabbed my hand and lead me out the door.

~time skip~

we arrived at the studio and hopped out of the car. we walked in to see the record executives and my manager. we all greeted each other and i pressed play on the album. the first song that rung out through the speakers was "River". the drum beat kicked in as i smiled to myself.

we all continued to listen to the songs and the last song came on. "Make You Feel My Love" is the song that ended the album. i felt like ending with a sad song would tie the album together.

i shed a few tears as the final notes played. i was so happy to finally be releasing these songs. each song meant the world to me and i couldn't wait to preform them live.

everyone clapped when the album ended and i did a little curtesy. everyone looked at me as i pressed the final button to release the album to the world. everyone congratulated which made me feel so relieved. i looked over at brendon and saw a sad look in his eyes.

"what's wrong, bubba?" i rubbed his shoulder.

"you sounded amazing. i'm crying happy tears, baby. i am so proud of you!" he cheered and picked me up.

i giggled and kissed him, "why thank you, kind sir. i'm so relieved to have the album out."

"i bet."

i felt my phone buzzing consistently. i looked at my screen to see hundreds of messages from people congratulating me on the album release. i checked social media to see at least fifty posts about it so far. i scrolled through them to see the feedback on the songs. 99% of people loved it, but there is always gonna be hate. i scrolled past the hate comments and didn't let them phase me. i was too ecstatic to be upset.

i put my phone down and said my goodbyes to everyone. i find find brendon talking on the phone and when he noticed me, he quickly hung up.

"who were ya talkin' to, babe?" i chimed.

"the boys." he blatantly stated. i gave him a questioning look but he shrugged it off.

"well are you ready to go home? i wanna see ryan."

he nodded and i go back to the studio to grab my phone. i lock the door and head to the car to see brendon on the phone again. i shrug it off and get in the drivers seat.

the drive home is silent until i hear my name being said on the radio. i turn up the volume a little bit and hear the first beats of "River" play. i turn the radio up and sing very loudly. brendon pulled out his phone and started to record me. i dance and belt out the lyrics while we pull into our driveway. the song ends and we get out of the car laughing.

brendon takes my hand and leads me inside. the lights are all turned off and i switch them on to see people everywhere and everyone yelling "surprise!" i laugh and say hello to everyone.

everyone congratulates me on the album and i say many thank you's to people.

after a few hours, the party winds down and everyone leaves. ryan walks up to me and gives me a big hug.

"i'm so proud of you moon! you finally did it. i never once doubted your potential." ryan says and hugs me again.

"thank you ry! i love you bro!" i reply.

"i love you too kid." he whispers and walks off.

i hangout with the boys for a little bit til i say goodnight and walk up to my room. i change out of my clothes and into brendon's shirt. i climb in my bed to hear a faint knock on my door.

"can i lay with you love?" brendon whispers.

"yeah come in bean boy." i giggle and he crawls into bed with me.

he wraps his arms around me and plants a gentle kiss to my lips.

"i'm so proud of you baby!" he whispers.

"thank you bren."

"goodnight my love."

"goodnight b"
