I'm The Only One To Blame | Jon Walker

"I'm sick of this Bren." Celina spat venemously at her best friend, Brendon Urie.
"Sick of what?" he smiled, obviously in a daze, high on somehting, maybe drunk.
"You doing this Brendon! You doing this and then expecting me to clean up after you!" she screamed.
"I just figured it was part of the job description Celina. You are, after all, working for Panic." he smirked, becoming nasty, as he often did when intoxicated some how.
Celina snapped her hand quickly across Brendon's face. The noise -even shocking to Celina- rang through the gymnasium.
Tonight, was prom night. It was also Celina's birthday, and Brendon was on the fast track to ruining it.
"Celina! What are you doing?" Ryan asked, storming at her from ten feet away where he had been watching her and Brendon fight.
"I'm stopping this bastard from ruining my birthday!" she snarled, giving Brendon a death glare that could have made Kurt Cobain want to sober up, then transfering it to Ryan, who she had never gotten along with anyway.
She grabbed her shoes from their place on the floor and stomped out of the gym to the front of her school, outside.
She stood out there and sulked. She sat on the curb, realizing that Brendon was her ride home, and she wasn't about to walk the 15 miles from her catholic school to her house tonight, in high heels no less.
"Celina, are you okay?" a soft voice asked as a familliar form took a place sitting next to her on the steps.
"No, not really." she sighed.
Jon sighed too. He saw what had happened in the gym and he wanted to console her. Even though he knew Celina wouldn't want consoling.
"I saw what happened inside." he said quietly, looking at her profile, sillhouetted by the moon.
"Most people did Jon." she said shortly, replaying the argument with Brendon over and over again.
"Well, I understand why you did it. It's your birthday, and he's ruining it for you." he smiled sadly.
"How did you know that?" she asked him, considereing that those were his exact thoughts, and they had just met a few weeks earlier, so he couldn't know her that well yet.
"I could read your eyes." he whispered, his hand touching her cheek lightly, then pulling away.
Celina shuddered a tad bit. "So, are you like, phsycic now?" she laughed, covering up her nerves.
"Oh, yes. Jon Walker. Phsycic supreme." he laughed.
They sat there laughing and looking at eachother, until it got to awkward for Celina to look any longer.
She wasn't the type of girl that fell for guys like him. She wasn't the type of girl to fall for a boy like him so fast. Infact, she wasn't the type of girl to be the type of girl that she was that night, but there was no avoiding what happened next.
Jon looked at her after a moment of silence. "You know Celina, I feel really bad." he said, rubbing the back of his neck viciously.
"Why is that?" she asked, keeping her gaze intentionally awat from him, as if it would make her miraculously feel less in-like with him.
"Well, you see I didn't get you a birthday present."
"Oh, Jon, you didn't have to. We haven't known eachother that long." she smiled at him.
"Well, do you wanna dance?" he asked, gesturing to the doors.
"I don't want to go in just yet." she said. "But we can dance!"
"To the silence?" he asked her, raising an eyebrow.
"Sure." she said.
He pulled her up onto her feet, and put his arms around her waist, as she placed her hands lightly on the back of his neck, blushing the whole time.
Then, the unexpected came.
Jon Walker began to sing. And not just anything. He began to sing Bille Holiday- I'll be seeing you.
"I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through..."
When the song finished, Jon leaned in so close that Celina could feel his breath. Then finally, after standing there for what felt like an eternity to both of them.
"Celina?" he whispered.
"Hmmm?"
"Happy birthday." he said, gently pressing his lips to hers.
Celina's stomach did a flip.
Electricity ran through Jon's mind.
The last thing on Celina's mind was her petty fight with Brendon.
She was happy that she was with Jon. He had made her birthday incredible.
an old man gave me a tip, he said don't waste your politics <33
