"Have you heard from Dallon?"
The question Ryan and Brendon have repeatedly asked, unanswered. It's been four days since Jon dropped Ryan off at Brendon's, and he hasn't returned. Spencer and Jon haven't been talking to either of them. Not until now.
[Jon created a groupchat]
Jon: Okay
Ryan: ?
Brendon: Okay?
Jon: I know you've been wondering what is going on so we're gonna explain
Ryan and Brendon look at each other with confusion, but neither know what's gonna happen.
Spencer: Long story short, Dallon is in the hospital
The boys both tense up and Ryan freezes. Brendon quickly responds, asking the question Ryan obviously wants to ask.
Brendon: Is he okay what happened??
Jon: I don't think we are allowed to say what happened but I will say Spencer found him and called an ambulance
Spencer: He is okay and home now, but he wasn't really allowed to contact anyone until this morning, but he is home now and should be alright
Jon: He said he didn't want to make it a big deal so he didn't wanna say anything to anyone but we felt like you guys deserved to know
Ryan: And he is okay?
Jon: Yes
Spencer: He is okay now yeah
Brendon: Why wasn't he allowed to contact us?
Jon: Hospital policy or something idk they took away his phone for 72 hours
Ryan's heart sinks and suddenly it's a little too hard to breathe. He stands up, anxiety filling him horribly.
"Hey, it's okay, he's alright," Brendon says, immediately standing when he notices Ryan's sudden anxious state.
"He tried to commit suicide, Brendon," Ryan says shakily. Brendon's eyes widen a bit and his heart sinks.
"What? How do you know?"
"I've tried to commit suicide before, and when you're in the hospital for it, they take away your phone for 72 hours and maybe more until they're sure you're stable," Ryan explains. "God, is this-"
Brendon waits for him to continue. Tears are flooding in Ryan's eyes. He blinks and tears fall as he takes a deep, shaky breath.
"Do you think this is my fault?" Ryan asks quietly.
"Why would it be your fault?"
"You... you said he likes me, and Spencer told Jon that Dallon was really distant and quiet after I left, and I probably made him feel like shit because I kept pushing him away and blocking him out when I left, and... and now he is home from the hospital from a fucking suicide attempt, and it's my fault!" Ryan says. Brendon rushes up to him and places his hands on Ryan's arms.
"Ryan, hey, breathe, it's gonna be okay, okay? We are gonna go over to Dallon's house right now and you're gonna tell him how you feel. He is okay and you're okay, and it'll all be okay. He is home which means he is stable, right?"
Ryan hesitates, taking in his words, before nodding and nervously saying, "Yeah."
"Then he is at least a little stable and alright, and you're gonna help him. Grab your shoes and I'll make sure he is home, okay?"
"Okay, yeah," Ryan says, then turns and hurries to find his shoes. Brendon looks at his phone and reads through the texts.
Jon: Are you guys alright?
Brendon: Ryan's taking it a little hard but Dallon is home and okay, right?
Spencer: Yeah he is home. We're here with him now just to make sure everything is okay but he's fine and home and safe and all that so there's no need to stress out and get upset
Brendon: Uhhhh
Ryan: Yeah a little too late to tell me to not get upset and stress
Spencer: I know you're like
Spencer: Madly in love with him
Spencer: So I understand and I'd probably react the same if it were me and Jon
Spencer: But he is perfectly fine
Brendon and Ryan's eyes widen and they look at each other, then quickly look down to type.
Brendon: WHAT
Ryan: YOU AND JON???
Jon: Uhhhh lmao
Ryan: WHAT DO YOU MEAN
Jon: Spencer died lol
Brendon: When the FUCK did you start dating??????
Jon: About a week after I joined
Jon: 2006
Ryan: WHAT
Brendon: I
Brendon: I'm about to lose my mind
Jon: Let's go back to the topic of Dallon because Spencer looks like he is about to have a panic attack lol uhhh
Spencer: Dallon does not know and yes I am having very bad anxiety so uh change of topic
Ryan: I mean I'm happy for you guys but I'm mad at myself for being so blind??????
Jon: We broke up when you guys broke up but then got together again when we went out for lunch
Brendon: I'm also happy for you but how the fuck did I miss you guys getting back together
Spencer: You went to the bathroom
Jon: Anyway thanks though lol
Spencer: I've been hiding it for so long that was literally the dumbest way I've told someone a secret oh my God
Ryan: You've been a dumbass since you came out of the womb
Spencer: You're not wrong
