When the Day Met the Night

Alex Gaskarth: Did you have a good high school experience?
Jack Barakat: No, I was pregnant

-Elizabeth’s POV after the waffle house-

“Hey E, stay out here with me for a sec?” Alex asked.

“Okay” I gave Brendon a peck on the cheek and a smack on the ass as he went back into the bus. I turned back to Alex, “Please don’t tell me you think you’re pregnant.” I joked.

Alex smiled, “No, I’m not pregnant with Jack’s child, no matter what he likes to think. But I do have a question for you. Have you and Brendon told each other that you love each other?”

I nodded and couldn’t help but smile when I thought of Brendon. “Why?”

“Just the way you were looking at each other today, anyone could tell you love each other. So have you told him about…?” Alex’s sentence dragged off as if he didn’t want to hurt me by letting the words flow through the air.

“Yea, he was really sweet about it…”

Alex flinched, probably because the only reason he knew was because I was upset after he yelled at me.

“Good, good. You deserve each other, not in a mean way, but you are both just great people and all.” Alex walked into the bus while I stayed out in the cold for a bit. We were going to be back on the road tomorrow morning and I wanted as much me time as possible

-2 weeks later-

Paris was marvelous. Our tour stayed in the same hotel I had stayed in when I had my little break down, and Hey Monday even joined us. The couples had their own rooms, Rian and Cassadee, Spencer and Haley, Brendon and I, oh and of course the little quartet of Alex, Jack, Zack, and Alice.

Strangely enough, Brendon and I shared the room we were in last time. The room always felt so peaceful, and with Brendon’s scent enveloping the room, it felt filled with love and warmth, no matter how strange it sounds.

Brendon and I cuddled up on the bed in silence until he spoke. “When was it that we came to Paris?”

“April 3rd, about 5 ½ months ago.”

“So we’ve been together for about 6 months and I have yet to bring you out on a proper date, whilst we’re in Paris, would you honor me with your presence on a date for Friday, although I guess we’ll have to have a day date, then we’ll come back in time to perform our concert and since All Time Low goes on first, it’ll be easy to fuck with them.” Brendon chuckled and I instantly smiled at the sound of his laughter.

“It’s pretty crazy how much time has flown; everything seems to change in such a short time. But I will absolutely go on a date with you. Touring in Europe is crazy, I feel bad not being able to understand and communicate with the,. They have so much energy for us, and it must be even more love they have for us because of the process they have to forgo just to try to understand the lyrics then decipher them.”

“Any fans are amazing, because I’ve had people come up to me, many a time, and thank me for saving them. Our music became people’s lives; it became their savior to help them not give up. Why do you think music became my religion?”

“Why are you so gosh darn perfect?” I kissed Brendon and cuddled closer to him.

“Because I can bask in your love.”

I rolled my eyes at his cheesiness, but I couldn’t help but smile when he kissed me back.

“This is nice; we haven’t really been alone since France last time.”

“I love you.”

“I love you too Brennybear.”

-Friday-

Friday had come and I couldn’t be giddier. Brendon was taking me out on a date and I couldn’t stop smiling all day. He had already left by the time I woke up, everyone said he had gone out to do things for our date and he left little clues around for me.

“Find your nearest favorite store.” I read the note aloud and tried to think of what I could’ve told Brendon. Music store! I searched on the laptop for the one closest by and I found that there was one that was only a block away. I got dressed in a nice sun dress and made my way to the store. Once there, I couldn’t see Brendon anywhere and the clerk, in very good English might I add, asked me if I was Elizabeth. I nodded and he handed me Abbey Road with a note on it.

Fate is how we met
Disney songs made me fall for you
Everything else too <3

-follow the arrows, -Brennybear

I blushed and looked up to see the clerk pointing to an arrow on the wall. I thanked him and followed said arrow, they were on windows and walls everywhere. I rolled my eyes and smiled at Brendon’s strange quirky qualities.

Eventually the arrows did end and I ended up at a beautiful little park. I could see the Eiffel Tower, but it was far away enough to be peaceful. I looked around for Brendon and I saw him walking towards me with an old stereo held over his head. Here Comes The Sun was playing and I smiled widely as I ran to hug him. We rolled down the small hill, somehow managing to avoid injury to the stereo and ourselves. Both of us were laughing as Brendon brought me to his little picnic set up where we had a humble little lunch.

“Glad you found me.” Brendon kissed me and I kissed back. I could hear the camera shutters, but I was so lost in bliss I couldn’t care less. Brendon glanced at his watch and he hurriedly packed everything. “Okay we need to do one last thing before we head back to the venue.” Brendon held my hand as we walked to a cute little coffee house. Brendon waved hello to, whom I would assume to be, the manager, as he walked on stage and grabbed the acoustic guitar.

You make me happy, whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days, yo all of my days

You're lookin' so cool, you're lookin' so fly
I cant deny that when I'm starin' you down and dead in the eye
I wanna try to be the person you want the person you need
It's hard to conceive that somebody like you could be with someone like me

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Ooh-ooh

You're lookin' so fresh, it's catchin' my eye
Why oh why did I not see this before
The girl I adore was right in front of me
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
On the good, the bad, the ugly
The smiles, the laughs, the funny
Oh, the things we put each other through
It's for you, for you, for you

You make me happy, whether you know it or not
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start
I am so happy
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days
For the rest of my days

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine
The grass is greener on the other side
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce
Ooh-ooh

I absolutely melted at the sound of his voice covering a pretty darn good song.

He thanked the manager as we walked out of the shop, our hands were intertwined and I knew I would never want to be anywhere else.

-At the Concert-

We went on stage and greeted the fans. Everybody was screaming and waving around signs in French and in English. The stage was closer to the front row than any other stage; I could actually make out facial features.

We did the little introductions and joking around before we headed straight into Mona Lisa; I was in my musical mindset where everything else tended to fade into the background. When I finally did look up at the crowd when I sang back-up, I saw someone that hadn’t been there earlier, but he looked so familiar.
He smiled straight at me and it was like a punch in the gut, he was supposed to be in jail in the U.S. How the hell did he end up in Paris? I could already feel myself slipping. My voice caught in my throat, my hands stopped playing and my mind slipped into darkness.

___________________________________________

I woke up in a fright, where the hell was I? I glanced around the room and saw Brendon asleep in the chair. I let myself smile for a second before the face flashed in front of my eyes again. I screamed and tried to get away, my I.V. kept me from leaving the bed as hot tears dripped onto the scratchy bed sheets. Brendon steadied me and made me look at him, to get myself back to reality.

“Brendon, I’m scared.” I whispered in a hoarse voice. I cried into his shoulder as he just patted my back and pecked kisses on the top of my head. “Brendon, I saw him in the crowd.”

“Who was in the crowd?” Bren lifted my head to look at him.

“It.” I was shaking with terror, and Brendon pulled me closer to him.

“I love you, it’s safe here, and don’t you worry your pretty little head.”

“I love you too, and I’m okay now, I just need to try to forget him. What exactly happened anyways? All I remember was seeing him then everything went dark.”

“When you passed out we were all freaked. They rushed you to the hospital when you didn’t wake up after 5 minutes. Jack and the rest if them stayed with you. Spencer and I finished the set with no encore, but we ran here as fast as possible. They said that you’d be fine, but something had definitely spooked you. I sent everyone home, they went reluctantly. Don’t worry, Alice is with them, and I told her that once you came to I’d call her. They’ll be glad to hear your voice, it’s been 12 hours but thankfully you had such a poofy dress and it caught your fall.

“I’m sorry to have made you worry. It’s just so damn hard to forget…”

“ ‘Tis okay love, you aren’t the first rock star to pass out on stage, not even the first one in this band. Thankfully you didn’t get a big bruise on your face, so I can still do this.” Brendon brushed my cheek and kissed my lips.

“I am so incredibly lucky.” I whispered in his ear before movement outside my door caught my attention. There he was agin, but he was in a doctor’s disguise. The scream caught in my throat as he walked into my room. I stared at Brendon, my eyes were wide, and so were his.
