A Wonderful Caricature of Intimacy; A Tale of Past Lovers

Don't Hang Up On Me 'Cause I'm Hung Up On You

I walked off stage and headed straight to our small dressing room. I wanted to take a quick shower before I went to go see Panic! Perform. I was about to walk inside the dressing room when Brendon already caught up with me.

“Hey babe, I’m sorry I couldn’t watch you guys perform. That interview took longer then I had expected.” He said as he kissed me on the cheek.

“I know. It’s alright. I’m about to go hop into the shower so I could see you guys perform. I feel yucky right now.” I said.

“Wait to take one afterwards… come on.” He said with a smile as he pulled me into a kiss.

I moaned as he ran his tongue against my bottom lip. I couldn’t help but let him inside. He then lowered his hands to my waist, and I wrapped my arms around Brendon’s neck. Somehow we ended up against the wall, him pinning me against it.

“Ahem… If you would mind, we sort of need Brendon right now to get ready seeing that he is our lead singer and all.” A voice said.

Brendon and I de-attached our lips to see Spencer and Jon standing there along with Chrissy next to him.

“I guess you can take him.” I said with a sigh.

“It will only be for a bit…”

“Really? Says the boyfriend who will go on stage soon and have many teenies screaming to have your babies.” I said with my eyebrows raised.

“Yea, but you’re the one I fall asleep next to remember?” He said with a smile.

“Yea… I remember.” I said with a smile as he leaned in again and kissed me on the lips.

“Whoa.” Another voice said.

Brendon and I looked over to see Pete staring at us with a shocked look on his face and Ashlee was besides him. I looked down to see his fists clench.

“Hi Pete.” I said.

“I didn’t know you guys were getting really close together.” He said with a weak smile.

You’re probably thinking that we see each other every day. You think that we still talk like we do. Actually we don’t… well not that much. I hardly see him because he’s always on his bus with Ashlee, and I’m with Brendon, Chrissy, and Jon all the time. I haven’t really told him that Brendon and I are dating now. Can you believe it now seeing that it’s already been a month on tour and dating Brendon, and yet I haven’t even told Pete? Well I can’t help the fact that I want to be around Brendon. I mean he is my boyfriend.

“Yea, we’re actually dating.” Brendon said with a smile as he held onto me tighter.

“Aww that’s cute.” Ashlee said with a smile.

“Yea… thanks.” I said.

“I have to get ready. I’m already running late. I’ll see you guys later. Are you coming??” Brendon said to them then to me.

“Yea…Later you guys.” I said with a smile.

Brendon and I turned around and walked towards his dressing room. I watched him change really quick as he put his costume on along with doing his warm-ups for his voice. I couldn’t help but stare as he changed. He had a nice body, I’m not gonna lie. But he says it’s hard to find men’s pants for him because he has his mother’s hips. I giggle every time he tells me that.

Zach came in and told them that they had a minute left of getting ready. Brendon was all done. He had his make-up on and his clothes on. He then grabbed my hand and pulled me from the comfy couch to follow him to the side stage. As we approached the stage, I could hear people chanting Panic!’s name. Brendon and I kissed, then he left to go perform. I walked over to the side of the stage, and Chrissy and I watched as they performed. I smiled every time he would look over at me and sing every single song that they performed. As they had finished playing “Camisado,” I felt my sidekick vibrate in my pocket. I grabbed it and saw I had gotten a text message from none other than Pete.

”Why didn’t you tell me you were dating Brendon? We always tell eachother everything”

”I don’t know? I hardly even see you anymore. And before when I would ask if you wanna go do something, you wouldn’t answer. The phone works both ways you know that.”

”That’s beside the point. You didn’t tell me that you were dating, let alone that you liked him.”

”It wasn’t that hard to notice that I liked him a lot. Everyone could tell.”

”But still you didn’t tell me.”

”So what if I didn’t tell you? You didn’t tell me a lot of things before.”

”What is that suppose to mean?”

”You know damn well what it means. Now I’m watching my boyfriend perform. I’ll talk to later if I feel like it.”

I put my phone back into my pocket and continued to watch. They were performing “Lying Is The Most Fun…” and I loved it when he would sing that song. And Pete made me miss it. I can’t believe him. First, I couldn’t decide on who I liked. Then I find out Pete was dating Ashlee, then Brendon was dating Audrey, and then Brendon breaks up with Audrey and then dates me. I’m so happy that I’m with Brendon except for our little problem of us not able to keep our hands off of each other. Then all of a sudden Pete freaks out that I’m with Brendon? This is so fucking messed up. Why the hell are things so complicated? And why can’t a girl just be happy for once?
