Ever since that day that Pete and Elspeth made up, everything slotted into place, nothing had gone wrong. But nothing lasts forever. Prom night passed and it went smoothly. As the last day of school-approached things were about to change, big time.

Elspeth's POV

"Can you sign my year book?" I asked Spencer who for a change was on his own. Ever since he and Hayley had got together they were latched at the hip.
"Yeah sure." He replied willingly.
"Have you seen Brendon?" I asked him as he wrote a message in my book.
"No, didn't he walk to school with you?" He said while handing the book back.
"No he said to meet me at school he had something to give me." I mumbled while reading his message. I smirked as I read it out aloud, "Elspeth, I'm gonna miss seeing you everyday but never loose touch so call me. Oh and don't go selling this message on Ebay when I'm famous one day."
"Well you won't will you?" He grinned. I gently hit him on the chest and we both walked outside to the benches. Hayley wasn't about so I'd probably be able to get a sentence out of him today. Well if he could get a sentence out of me considering I had just spotted Brendon. "Brenny Bear!" I waved to him who was sat on our usual bench. He took his head from behind his yearbook and grinned at me. I walked over to him and sat down next to him. "Helloo Gorgeous." He said while wrapping his arm around me and placing a kiss on my cheek. "Hey." I said back. He seemed extra happy today. "So why couldn't you walk with me this morning?" I asked curiously. I was dying to know what he was going to give me.
"Because I had to pick something up before school." He said while taking his arm from around me and remerging around in his bag.
"Oh right." I said disappointedly.
"Hey don't be like that, I mean its for you...would it be for anyone else." He said while gazing at me dreamingly.
"Aw Brendon." I said while placing a kiss on his cheek.
"Okay, okay you haven't seen it yet...now close your eyes and hold out your left hand." He said seriously. I closed my eyes and I could feel him take my hand and slowly place something on my finger. "Can I open my eyes now?" I asked while biting my bottom lip.
"Yep." He said simply. I slowly opened my eyes and they immediately drew to the diamond-encrusted ring on my finger. "Brendon it's beautiful." I said speechlessly.
"Well then it's got something in common with you." He said while knotting his fingers through mine.
"How did you pay for it?" I asked curiously.
"I had some money saved up." He said while gazing into my eyes. I smiled at him and pressed my lips onto his. I could feel people's eyes staring at us but I didn't care, it was the last day of school ever and I wouldn't want to end it any other way. After we stopped kissing he grabbed my hand and we went and had the last few hours of high school.

It went surprisingly quickly and as the final bell went it was all over and as me, Brendon, Spencer and Hayley left the school entrance Pete was stood in front of a limo. "What the fuck?" Brendon mumbled.
"Alright guys?" Pete asked while his faced was engulfed by that grin seemed to always be there whenever I saw him.
"Dude whats with the limo?" Spencer asked while scanning his eyes over it. He glanced at me and winked, I knew exactly what he was up.
"Well whenever you go to a party you always need a big entrance." He said casually.
"What party?" Brendon asked while raising an eyebrow.
"The one I'm throwing tonight at my mates, all the guys will be there and tonnes of my friends, think of it as a celebration party for having you guys as part of the label." He said while opening the door, soon after Brent and Ryan's faces popped out the door. "So when does it start?" I asked curiously.
"In about half an hour so we need to get out of here and over to Spencer's cuz there is stuff for you to wear over there." Pete said while diving into the limo. I could see the excitement on Brendon's face and he jumped up and down on his feet like a two-year old on a sugar rush. He smiled at me as he let me in the limo first, after he got in it sped off to Spencer's and soon we'd be at one of Pete's parties...this could be interesting.

Half an hour later

"Okay don't worry about being underage for the beers or nothing cuz no one cares." Pete said as we walked up the path, the house was blaring with music coming from its sound system.
"I'm not gonna be touching the stuff." Ryan muttered under his breath.
As soon as we got inside we all broke off, so it was just Brendon and I. We stood in the doorway hand in hand staring nervously at each other. There were a few cheer leaders about and people from school, don't have a clue how Pete knew them though. "Are you gonna have anything to drink?" Brendon mumbled in my ear.
"Dunno see what there is." I smirked. He smiled back at me and we both dodged are way through the crowds of people talking and found ourselves in the kitchen. "Hey guys." Pete said as he turned around with a beer can in his hand.
"What drinks we got Wentzy?" Brendon asked as he looked at what was on offer.
"Beer, beer and more beer." Pete laughed as his eyes glanced into mine I rolled my eyes. "Its never a Pete party without beer is it?" I grinned.
"Well beer and red bull." He said while taking a sip from the bottle.
"You have red bull!" Brendon cried.
"You heard me Brenny bear." Pete grinned. Brendon immediately turned his attention to the fridge and pulled out two cans. He turned to me, his face beaming, "I'm going to talk to Spencer." He said while placing a kiss on my lips. I walked over to the side and pulled away a can of beer and pulled up a stool next to Pete. "I'll open that for you." He said kindly. I passed him the bottle and raised my eyebrow, "Are you feeling okay? I mean normally you have your lips attached to someone's or something right about now." I saw a smirk appear on his face he then looked into my eyes, his eyes sent shivers down my spine. "I do...a beer bottle." He laughed. I couldn't help but laugh at his cheesy joke. He passed me the bottle and I chugged it down. He put his hand on my back and rubbed it gently, "Whoa slow down we have the whole evening to demolish theses puppies...and I plan on having more than you." He said while smiling at me.
"Oh yeah I may be younger than you but I can out drink you any day Petey." I smirked while taking his arm from round me.
"We'll see." He said slyly while taking another slug of his drink. It was awkwardly silent I could tell that he wanted to say something, why did he always have to be so stubborn. "Elspeth..." He said quietly.
"Yes." I replied back.
"Have you got anything planned now you've left high school?" He said seriously.
"Nope...nothing...zero...zilch why?" I smirked while opening another beer.
"Well my label, well when we were together you'd talk of dreams of being in that sort of business. Well now...erm there's a position open that's perfect for you...and I want you to have it." He said while playing with his beer bottle. I didn't know what to say, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I didn't have anything planned. "Pete I..." He tenderly put his warm finger on my lips. "You need time to think...I can wait, I'm going back to Chicago in a week, your welcome to stay with me...I have a spare room. I'll need an answer then." He then took his finger away.
"Don't worry I'll give you an answer before then...maybe more beer will help me think." I suggested.
"Oh really?" He smirked while grabbing another two beers and passing one to me.

Several hours and beers later...

Brendons POV

"Guys it's getting late I think I should be going." I said to Hayley and Spencer who had stopped making out for a few minutes.
"Dude its only eleven, hold on where's the lovely Miss Rae?" Spencer asked while Hayley giggled in his ear.
"I dunno, last time I saw her she was with Pete." I said while getting up, Spencer was clearly pissed.
"Ooo someone could be getting cheated on." He said while waving his arms around like a lunatic.
"Hahaha you're so funny." I said sarcastically while raising my middle finger at him. He snarled at me then started making out with Hayley...again. I think I almost preferred it when they hated each other. I dodged through the crowd of drunken cheerleaders and jocks dancing. One of them tried to kiss me but I shrugged it off. I found myself in the kitchen and there was Elspeth and Pete. I wasn't alarmed when I found them slumped on the floor surrounded by about fifteen cans of beer. Pete had his arm around her, at least they weren't/t making out or anything. "Hey guys." I said weakly. Elspeth looked up at me her speech slurred, "Brenny bear!" She cried as she flung out her arms almost knocking the bottle out of Pete's hand. I raised my eyebrows; she was kinda freaking me out. "Okaayy, how much have you had to drink?" I asked caringly.
"How much have we had to drink?" She mumbled to Pete sloppily.
"We've had about six bottles each." He laughed.
"Not much then." I said sarcastically.
"Aw Brenny bear feels left out." Elspeth cooed while stumbling onto her feet and falling over, luckily I caught her. "Come on I'm taking you home." I said sternly. "See ya Pete." I added.
"Bye Urie, oh and Elspeth call me about my offer." He managed to string a sentence together. Offer? What offer, I'm her boyfriend and she doesn't tell me anything. I wrapped my arm around her while she lolled over me and I tried to lead her out of the house.

When we got back to her house I read a note on her fridge,
Elspeth,
Work has sent me away for the next two days sorry I didn't tell you but they didn't tell me until this morning. Everything you need is in the fridge and I left money for food if you need, food only honey.
I'll be back Sunday night,
Love you always
Mom.
I'm not leaving her alone here tonight; I couldn't ever live with myself if she choked on her own sick in her sleep. "Your mom's away." I said as I followed her into the lounge. She slumped on the sofa and stared worriedly into my eyes. I instinctively sat down next to her, thighs touching. "Oh she's always away...oh well she can't see me like this then and ground me." She laughed. I sighed; I don't like her when she's drunk she seems a bit unpredictable. "I'm sorry." She said seriously.
"Don't worry, its only a bit of alcohol, you should be apologising to your liver." I smiled while staring into her eyes. She laughed, I don't think it was meant to be for so long but she was drunk so I couldn't really have a go at her. She rested her head on my chest and I wrapped my arm around her. My eyes glanced over to the clock it was midnight, I wasn't much of a partier and I hadn't been asked to stay, so it's about time that I went. "Baby I'm gonna get going." I said while unwrapping my arm from her.
"No!" She moaned while firmly putting her hand on my leg. I sat down and listened to her slur. "Stay here tonight, please Bren." I put my hand on top of hers and spoke caringly, "If you want me to stay I will but where?"
"I dunno wherever you fall asleep." She shrugged. She'd seemed to of contained her drunkenness and I could actually talk to her and have a conversation. There was an eerie silence. "Brendon." She said quietly.
"Yeah baby." I said while wrapping my arm back around her.
"What would you do if I moved away?" She asked seriously.
"Erm I don't know...your not are you?" I stuttered, shit now I'm worried.
"I don't know Brendon...I mean you have a future mapped out but...for me well I don't." She slurred.
"What do you mean by that?" I asked seriously.
"I dunno I'm drunk and I won't remember it in the morning, so I'll tell you then." She said while kissing me on the cheek. I smirked at her trying to hide my anxiety. I knelt in and my lips collided with hers. She wrapped her arms around my neck and as we kissed I moved back onto the sofa, her on top of me. I kissed her softly...I can see where this is going.

The next morning

I slowly opened my eyes as the sunlight streamed across my face; I was about to move my hand to face to rub my eyes. I looked down and Elspeth was cradled in my arms, I could remember what happened last night. I doubt she could though. I tried to move off the sofa and into the kitchen without waking her up. This didn't work. "Morning...oh fuck my head." She mumbled.
"Sorry I woke you." I said tenderly.
"It's okay Brendon." She said while rubbing her eyes. I kissed her on the forehead and got up and slowly walked out the room. "Breakfast?" I called to her.
"Sounds good." She yawned while making herself comfortable on the sofa. I found myself in the kitchen and I put a few slices of bread in the toaster. "Brendon come here." I heard Elspeth call from the other room. I followed her voice and she got up and faced me. "Brendon I know I was very drunk last night...but there was something I wanted to tell you." she said while staring into my eyes.
"Okay." I said while biting my bottom lip.
"Brendon I think I'm in love with you." She said simply. I was speechless, did I just hear right? I knew there was a huge grin on my face and my lips crashed against hers again. She put her hands of my chest and pulled out for a second. "So I suppose that can't be such a bad thing?" She said looking rather worried.
"Not when the person loves them back." I said shyly. She smiled weakly at me I knew there was something on her mind, something big. "Brendon..."She mumbled staring at my feet. I carefully put my hand under her chin and her face up to mine. "Just tell me...it can't be that major." I said, as I spoke my lips brushed so slightly against hers.
"Pete's got a spare job up in Chicago for me...and well he wants me to start straight away." She said with tears in her eyes. I felt my stomach hit the floor, as I knew what was coming next. "I knew something like this would happen." I mumbled trying to hide my sadness.
"Brendon I love you but you're going to be a rock star...I just know you will be, our lives will be completely different." She said as the tears streamed down her face.
"I love you Elspeth." I said passionately while pressing my lips against hers one final time. When we stopped I walked out the house, leaving the only thing I truly cared about.
