Dallon's POV

"Dallon where are you going?" I hear Ryan call after me.

"I don't know." My voice is monotone.

"Calm down and talk to me."  He's now walking at my side. 

"I need some fresh air."  I mumble.  I get to an exit and push the door open.  It's a little chilly outside and I honestly don't remember what state we are in.  I lean up against the wall and look up at the stars.  It's a slightly cloudy night so not many stars are visible.  The street lights from the parking lot makes it even harder for me to observe the stars.  I sigh before speaking.  "Why does he have to be this way?" I ask not actually wanting an answer.  "I should have know things wouldn't stay good.  It never does with him.  I'm stupid to think he would stay sober."

"Dallon, to be fair he didn't over do it this time.  He seemed okay." Ryan try's to reason with me.

"I'm not upset that he drank.  I'm upset that he lied.  That he made a promise and broke it behind my back.  If I didn't catch him do you think he would have told me?  No, he wouldn't have.  Maybe he was okay this time but what about next time?"  I look over at Ryan.  I can feel some tears on the edge of my eyes.  I quickly look back up to the sky to try and keep the waterworks from exploding. 

"You have to talk to him Dal.  Explain to him why your so upset."  Ryan try's to keep me reasonable.  I take a long deep breath.  I turn toward Ryan and hug him tightly.

"Thank you for always being here for me."  I say while hugging him.  I pull away from him and force a smile. "Can I just be alone to think for a few minutes."  He nods his head and goes back in the venue.  I'm left alone with my thoughts.  I cover my face with one hand and slowly slide it down.  I pace back and forth as I start to get angry.  Angry at how Brendon went behind my back.  Angry that Ryan doesn't seem to understand why I'm upset.  Angry that I believed that Brendon was different this time.  Angry at how fucking stupid I am. Suddenly the anger becomes too much and I start to boil over. My hands form into a tight fist.  I stop pacing and turn toward the wall.  Without a second thought I plunged my fist straight into the brick wall. 

"God fucking damn it!" I shout as I shake my hand.  I look at the wall that seems like it hasn't even been touched.  I look down at my hand that is now bleeding.  I busted open two of my knuckles.  "Fuck." I mutter under my breath.  I go to open the door and it doesn't open.  I start checking my pockets but realize I don't have my key card.  I sigh and mutter a few more curses then knock on the door with my non busted hand.  I wait and the door doesn't open.  My patience is wearing thin and the anger boils over again.  I start to kick the metal door as hard as I can. I curse so much that I would have to drink as much soap as Brendon drinks alcohol to clean my mouth.  "Fuck you. Fuck fuck fuck." I tiredly shout.  I give up and slump down next to the door.

"Are you okay?" An unfamiliar voice asks.  I look up and see a man with brightly colored blue hair. 

"I'm fine." I coldly say.  "I don't think you are supposed to be back here."

"Yeah I'm probably not supposed be here but I heard a lot of noise and cursing.  I wanted to be the hero who broke up an epic fight but turns out the enemy was a door." He jokes and I laugh slightly.  "Does that mean you're not going to call security on me?"

"Not unless you give me a reason to." I nod my head to the floor next to me and he sits down.

"So why were you fighting with a door?"  He asks.

"Someone told me he called my mom fat so I had to teach him a lesson." We both laugh a little.  "I got lock out." I say when the laughing stops.  "How come you aren't in there watching Panic! play?"

"I don't have ticket." He simply says.

"So what are you doing here?"

"My band and I are waiting for the concert to be over to try and do some promo shit.  You know hand out stuff with our band name on it in hopes people don't instantly throw it away."  He smiles. "Awsten knight, my bands name is Waterparks." He extents his hand out and I shake it.

"Dallon Weekes from I Don't Know How But They Found Me."

"I used to think my band name was absurd but then I heard yours."  He laughs again.  This kid just constantly makes jokes.  "We were just waiting for the concert to be over like god Brendon's hot.  I wish I was in there. He's so hot." He laughs so much at his own jokes. 

With a smile I say "yeah his extremely hot.  Too bad he loves to self destruct." I shake my head.

"How so?  I mean I saw the thing about him a few months back but I have a feeling you're referring to something else." Awsten seems to be genuinely interested, not just looking for gossip to post about later.

"He drinks to much and does stupid things all the time.  Every time we start having something good he fucks it up with alcohol or drugs." I explain. "I honestly don't know why I'm tell this to you.  I just hope you don't go sharing this everywhere."

"Don't worry everything you say will stay between us." He reassures me.  Before I have time to keep talking someone opens the door.  We both look up and see a crew member standing in the door way.

"Girls/girls/boys is next.  Are you ready to go on?" She asks.

"Yeah I'll be there in a minute." I say. She nods and walks away.  This time I make sure to grab the door so I don't get stuck outside.  I turn to Awsten before going in.  "Thanks for letting me complain to you.  If you stick around after the show long enough we could hang out a bit.  To repay you for listening."

"Yeah, sure." He says excitedly.  "Also I suggest getting that hand looked at." He points to the hand that now has dried blood on it and is starting to bruise.  I smile then quickly head to side stage.  When I arrive the song before girls/girls/boys is just finishing up. 

Brendon calls my name and I quickly run onstage. The track starts quickly and we sing the song like no big deal.  We act like the last time we saw each other wasn't a fight.  We smile and act energetic.   At one point I can tell Bren saw my bloody had and gave me a bit of a confused face.  I pretended like I didn't see it and continued bouncing around.  By the end of the song we both had pride flags wrapped around us and we stood next to each other looking out at the rainbow lights in the crowd. 

"Mr.Dallon Weekes everybody." Brendon says and the crowd screams.  He then suddenly turns and grabs my face.  He kisses me on the lips passionately before I have anytime to react.  The crowd erupts with even more cheers and screams.  Brendon pulls away but doesn't let go of me yet. He moves close to my ear and say "I love you more than anything Dallon I promise.  It's a promise that I will never break." He than pulls away from me and looks at the crowd.  "I fucking love that tall glass of water."  He looks at me and smiles.  I can't help but laugh and shake my head slightly.  He moves back to me and  kisses me on the check and smiles at me again.  I mouth at him that I'm still pissed but he just shrugs.  I turn to head off stage and I feel Brendon slap my ass as I walk off and the crowd erupts in screams again.

A/N

Every time I upload a chapter I'm always ready for it to flop and nobody read it but it never happens.  So thank you to everyone who continues to read this story.

Also I feel like most people won't get the title of this chapter but it's an Alec Benjamin song.  I don't think I've ever had one of his songs as a title.

Idk how but he found me (Brallon) Where stories live. Discover now
