Mystery Man
Brendon's alarm woke him up at 9 the next morning. He turned the alarm off and nudged Dallons shoulder.
"Dal... Dal wake up."
Dallon rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"'M up.. What's plans for today?"
"I have to get my cast off in like 20 minutes."
"Alright. Anything specific after that?"
"Nope."
They got ready and made the walk to the nurse.
*Time jump* [A/N: I'm not writing the Dr. visit because no.]
"Ugh I still have to wear a brace." Brendon pouted, getting in Dallons car.
Dallon chuckled. "You was the one who punched a wall."
Brendon glared at Dallon. "Thanks for reminding me. At least I can play guitar again with this."
Dallon laughed and kissed Brendon's head. "Where to?"
"Hm... do you wanna just walk around the mall?"
"Sure. The mall it is." Dallon said pulling out of the college parking lot.
When they got to the mall it was dead. There was only 20 or so cars to the usual 100+
"What happened..?" Dallon asked pulling into a parking spot.
"I don't know..."
They got out and walked to the door. There was a worker standing by the door fixing some of the signs.
"Hello, how are you guys today?" She smiled brightly.
"I'm good, you?" Brendon asked.
"Could be better. We haven't had too many customers the past few days."
"Oh? Whys that"
The girls face fell and she spoke in a hushed tone. "Oh, there was a suicide across the road... people has been avoiding this side of town."
Everyone got quiet.
"Wow, that's terrible."
"Yeah. His name was Tyler. I'm pretty sure he went to school around here. It's a shame, I heard he could've went far with music."
Brendon and Dallon looked at each other and Brendon looked like he was about to cry.
"Oh. Well it was nice to meet you." Dallon said quickly waving to the girl while grabbing Brendon's hand.
They ran back to the car and Brendon started crying, Dallon getting a little teary eyed himself.
"Hey, hey I got you. It might not be our Tyler. We would've heard, right?"
"Maybe." Brendon said trying to calm down.
He pulled out his phone and quickly dialed Patricks number.
"Hello?"
"Hey uh where you at right now."
"Hanging with some of the group why?"
"Where is Tyler?"
"Right in front of me. Me Joe Josh and Tyler is at the library. Are you okay?"
Brendon let out an audible sigh. "Yeah. Yeah I'm all good."
"Hm. Alright."
"Alright I'll let you go. Later."
"Later."
Brendon sat his phone down on the dash.
"Everything okay?" Dallon asked holding onto Brendon's hand.
Brendon nodded. "God, I couldn't lose that little fucker." He said smiling a little.
"What now?"
"Well not too many of the shops will be open."
Dallon thought for a second, tracing patterns on Brendon's hand with his thumb. "What time is our next class?"
"Not until 8 tonight."
"Wanna take a drive?"
"Sure."
"Good. This place is amazing. I went a lot as a kid. I also want to tell you something about them after we leave."
Brendon looked at Dallon with a questioning look. Dallon smiled and kissed his hand.
"You'll see."
Brendon and smiled and rolled his eyes. "Okay mystery man."
