(Brandon's Pov)
*A few seconds before the kiss*
I pulled back from the hug and stared into his watery silver eyes. He has silver eyes?! That's so cool and it's so beautiful. As I was staring into his eyes I saw him look at my lips. The next thing he did shocked me so much that I couldn't move or do anything.... he kissed me! He f*****g kissed me! I could do one thing though, kiss back and boy did it feel good. His pale lips were so smooth and soft. No wonder I was developing a crush on him!
He pulled away and stared into my eyes. He then glared at me and said
"What did you do to me?!" Startled, I stepped back and looked at him confused. "What are you talking about. You kissed me!" I said. He pushed me up against the wall and said
"If your fag disease rubbed off on me, I will hurt you." He said.
"I-I didn't do anything! Maybe your just gay! I don't see you hanging around with any girls." I said and quickly regretted it. He punched me in the mouth and said "Call me gay again, I dare you!" I felt my eyes start to well up with tears. I looked into his eyes and they softened and he actually looked kind of regretful.
"I'm sorry." I said. He sighed and stepped back.
"No no, I should be sorry. You didn't do anything." He said.
"Okay this is a serious question, are you bipolar?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Your mood changes a lot." I said. He shrugged and ran a hand through his silver white hair. Is it bad I tempted to run my hand though that fluffy hair of his?
"You know, I kind of want to help you." I said. He looked at me and smiled a little.
"Really?"
"Yeah, I don't care if you bully me. I'm not going to stand here and watch you cut yourself!" I said.
"But I don't have anything else to do to help cope." He said.
"I don't care what time is, when you feel like cutting come to my room and I'll help you." I said. He smiled and hugged me.
"I'm sorry, for everything. And most sorry about this..." He said
"About what?"
"I can't be seen with you in school. I can't afford it with my reputation. I hope you understand."
"I understand. Can we at least be friends outside of school?" He nodded and smiled at me. "Great! Come over my house after school. My dad's picking us up so we can work on our song." I said.
"Okay." He said and walked out of the nurses office and back to the lunch room. I sighed and fell back against the wall. He kissed me.... HE KISSED ME! Not that I didn't like the kiss but I'm still shocked. I put my hand on my heart, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my throat! Devin came back in and raised a eyebrow at me.
"Um what was that?" He said.
"I have no idea..." I said. I felt like a love struck teenage girl. "I should get going." I said and walked out the door. I went into my 6th period and sat down. Time for another boring lecture.
I heard the bell rang signaling last period is over. I jumped out of my seat and ran to my locker. Evan texted me saying to meet him with his friends. Of course I'm nervous, I just have to be my usual happy self. After getting my notebook with all the things I love in it. I walked down the almost empty hall and saw Evan at his locker with his friends talking.
"Hey Evan!" I said happily. Yes I know I'm supposed to be acting angry and stuff but actually I'm always nice to them. The guys accuse me of having a crush on him but I always just shrugged it off.
"Um hey fag." He said. I frowned but in his eyes I could see he didn't mean it.
"Ready to go?" I asked. He nodded and slammed his locker shut, causing me to jump. He said goodbye to his friends and followed me out to my dads car. We both got in the back and my dad said "Hey there boy nice to see you again Evan." He smiled at him and said
"Nice to see you too." Dad smiled before turning around in his seat and started driving down the road to our house.
"Dad can you turn up the music, my CD is already in there." I said. He nodded and turned up the music. The song Nobody's hero by black Vei brides came on. Evan started to softly sing the lyrics and after the song ended I smiled at him and said "You have an amazing voice! It sounds like Andy Biersacks and Brendon Uries love child. He started laughing and said
"I've never heard that before, thanks. You have a good voice too." I smiled, happy that were getting along. He smiled back and my dad pulled into the driveway. We all got out and went into the house. Mommy came rushing up to us and she hugged me. I saw Evan with a little bit of jealousy in his eyes. Mom pulled away and she then went over to Evan.
"Evan sweetie, it's good to see you again!" She said and hugged him. He smiled and said
"Good to see you too." Mom pulled away and gave him a warm smile. He smiled back and mom clapped her hands.
"Alright, you two go upstairs to work on your song. Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes." Mom said. We nodded and ran upstairs. We went into my room and sat on the bed.
"Okay so I thought about what you said and I think your right."
"Right about what?"
"The song choice, my brother would've wanted us to do it." Evan said. I looked at him and smiled.
"Great, you can be the one playing piano and singing the guys part and I'll sing the girl part since my voice is higher." I said. He nodded and sighed.
"Can we practice? I rather not start crying in the middle of the song in class." He said. I gave him a smile and nodded.
"Sure, the piano is downstairs, lets go." I said and he followed me down the steps. We went into the living room where my dad was at. I motioned for Evan to sit down at the piano. He did and dad smiled at us.
"Hey boys, what are you doing?"
"Just practicing our song, do you mind?"
"Not at all, go ahead." Dad said. I sat down next to Evan and he started playing and singing.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere, I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
And anywhere, I would have followed you
Oh-oh-oh-oh say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
Say something" We both sang. By the end of it Evan was actually crying. He pt his hands over his face while mom and dad rushed over to him.
"Evan sweetie, whats wrong?" Mom said gently. Evan shook his head and leaned over and cried into my shoulder. I pat his back and said
"Shhh, everything will be alright."
"No its not! Hes not going to come back." Evan said.
Mom lipped the words hold him to me an I did. I put both my arms around him and let him cry. After he calmed down to just sniffles dad said
"Evan buddy, can you tell us whats wrong?"
"My... my little brother loved this song. He died a few years ago." Evan said.
"Oh sweetie, were so sorry." Mom said.
"If you ever need to talk about it we're here." Dad said. He smiled a little and nodded.
"Thank you." Evan said. I let go of him and he gave me a shy smile. Sorry about crying on your shoulder." I smiled at him at him and shrugged.
"Don't be sorry." I said. He smiled and mom smiled at us.
"Well dinner is ready." Mom said. We all nodded and went into the dining room. She passed out plates of pasta and chicken we ate in a comfortable silence. Evan then had to go home.
"Wait, I'll walk you out." I said. He smiled at me and i walked him to our front door. I hugged him and he huggd me back.
"Good luck." I said. He smiled and pulled away.
"Before I go I want to do one last thing." He said.
"What?"
"This" He kissed me and then ran away. I smiled a shook my head. Gosh I like the new side of him way better then the school one.
