Starlight and Dewdrops [Brendon Urie]--06

"Oh...Brendon, it's not – I was just – Come one, it's Pete, for goodness sakes!" I spit out, trying to explain to an obviously hurting and betrayed looking Brendon.

No one else said a word.

They all looked rather shocked, actually.

Brendon stood there for a second, and the next thing I knew, he walked off the bus and the door slammed shut behind him.

I closed my eyes for a moment and breathed deeply.

And then I got my usual morning sickness, which resulted in me running to the bathroom and putting all else on hiatus.

Yeah, life sucked pretty much.

When I was done, I walked back into the room and saw everyone was still looking shocked and confused.

"What?" Spencer asked, trying to get an explanatory conversation going.

I blinked and sat down on a couch. Here comes the headache...

"What, what?" I asked rudely.

I wondered where Brendon had gone...Looking around, I saw that Ryan was gone as well and I assumed he went after Brendon.

Silence for a moment, and then my brother exploded.

"We thought you were dead, Tayen Trohman! Dead! I nearly had a fucking heart attack and there you were, safe and sound in Pete's bunk! What the hell is your problem?!" Joe yelled, throwing his hands up in the air and moving them around sporadically.

I flinched.

"Joe –" I started, but was cut off.

"You could have at least left a note in the other bus! That would have cut out a whole lot of panic and freaking out! What the hell, Tayen?! What the hell?!" Joe stormed away.

Talk about overprotective brothers...

Then Spencer laughed.

I know he did.

He let out a snicker but then cleverly hid it with a cough and bent down to tie his shoe.

I shook my head and stood up, deciding I was going to get dressed and find Brendon to explain that I was ONLY sleeping with Pete, not like...you know...

I shivered at the thought, disgusted.

-----------------------------------------------------

Brendon stormed off the bus, practically seething inside.

No, he definitely was seething inside.

That Pete Wentz...how dare he?

It was hard for Brendon to be angry at Pete, because Pete was the reason they were at this place in their career in the first place, and because Pete was just a great guy, but this was where he had crossed the line.

Not to get possessive here, but Tayen was HIS, not Pete's! She was pregnant with Brendon's kid, who was Pete to let her sleep with him, or whatever they did during the night...

Brendon couldn't even think about that, it gave him the creeps.

Instead, he rushed onto his own bus and locked himself in the bathroom. He sat down on the edge of the tub and put his face in his hands.

What a mess.

"Bren? Why don't you come out?" Ryan asked quietly from the other side of the door.

Brendon wished he would go away. This was a time when he wanted to think for himself.

"Go away." He said bluntly to his best friend.

He heard shuffling on the other side, and then muffled words being exchanged with whomever.

Then: "Brendon, Tayen's here and wants to talk to you."
