The Best You Ever Had

Piper James is one of the biggest stars on the music scene. But it wasn't always that way. Once upon a time, she was a member of a little band called Panic! At The Disco (and lover to their front man). Leaving them behind to start her solo career was never something she regretted. The way she left was something she'd never confronted. Now that Panic! is as big as she is, she's placed face to face with Brendon Urie, and things are not okay. One night of heartbreak and argument leads to rumors and a reunion. But when an opportunity comes along that she just can't refuse, will she leave it all behind again? Would Brendon be able to forgive her if she did?

"The paps across the street are having a field day right now," he said. "So keep smiling."

"Brendon," I said neutrally.

He looked over at Jenny and grinned. "Be careful, she'll leave you behind if a better offer comes along."

"Get bent," Jenny said cheerfully, smiling from ear to ear.

I swallowed hard.

"Still looking out for numero uno?" he asked me.

I don't know what snapped inside me, but I couldn't just continue to be civil. "Still sleeping alone in a twin size bed?"

He laughed, and his friends joined him. "Star Wars sheets and everything, baby. Have a good day. We'll outplay you tomorrow."

With that, they all turned and left, leaving Jenny and I to exaggeratedly wave goodbye to their backs.
