Sarah Smiles

Ryan's POV:

"A TOAST TO FATHERHOOD!" Brendon said drunkenly.

"NO, THIS CALLS FOR A TOAST!" I slurred on my words, confused.

I feel like the world is spinning, I don't even remember what happened. Suddenly our phones rang, it was ringing nonstop. The calls were from Sarah and Zack, but Brendon and I never answered any of them. How long can keep doing this? We feel like our old selves but different. Honestly, I'm not sure it's a good or bad change.

"Hit me up with some whiskey!" Brendon frantically tapping the table, I wonder what he's thinking.

I followed alongside him completely unaware of the time.

Brendon suddenly stopped and sighed.

"We have to stop doing this," Brendon said.

For a moment we were quiet, at this point we were done drinking. There were a few Panic! Fans at this place, they didn't know yet. We kinda knew that we had to shut our mouths, we don't know how much we said but I hope we didn't say too much.

It took a while but we finally had the courage to go back in the car. We didn't drive we just stayed there. Of course, we were still grieving, whats more to say.

My phone rang one last time, it was Sarah. I picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello?"

"Ryan? Where's Brendon?" Sarah's voice slightly raised.

"He's with me."

"Where have you guys been? It's like 4 in the morning and you guys still aren't here. Ryan remember you have a kid." Sarah continued.

Ah crap, I forgot about Nate. Brendon took over the phone as I began driving. With Brendon chatting on the phone it kinda reminds me of one situation we had when we were younger. Once before the panic split, Brendon and I were forced to do babysitting. We ended hanging out with Spencer and Jon forgetting the child completely. Eventually, Brendon's mom found out and scolded him in the car.

We actually drove pretty far. What's more to say if your life gets the turn for the worse.

Sarah's POV:

Where on earth are those two men? Ryan said he'd check on Brendon then poof! they are gone. I feel guilty, I know I shouldn't feel guilty but can't help it. I feel uneasiness in my chest, I feel heartbroken. Zack is with us, he's currently addressing the situation to our friends and eventually to our fans. We are not sure how we are gonna get through this but I know we can go through this.

Elise is my daughter, I love every single bit of her. She's funny, cool, calm, and collective. It hurts me so much to know that they did this to her. Why didn't she say anything to us? Doesn't she trust us?

I also feel bad for Brendon, it's obvious that he's bottling up his emotions. It pains me to see him like this. My thoughts are the only thing keeping me stay sane. I hope she wakes up soon.

Nate called up Zack asking for his dad. I could hear Zack explaining stuff over the phone.

Suddenly, I hear a knock on the door. I immediately opened the door excepting Brendon and Ryan, but I was wrong.

"We came as soon as we heard!" Tyler practically yelled genuinely looking concerned.

"We also came in to check if you guys are okay," Josh added.

There was a moment of silence.

"She's gonna be okay right?" Josh asked.

"I hope so," I answered.

"If you don't mind I brought Alex with me." Josh's hand points at the door, Alex slowly peeps through the door.

I welcomed them all in, I'm a little bummed that it wasn't Brendon and Ryan. We talked about plans, as they were talking I looked over to Alex who was staring at Elise. I know it isn't my place to ask but I wanted to anyways. Zack at this point knew I was getting awkward, so he struck up a conversation with the two boys.

"What's on your mind?" I moved over to Alex and asked.

"Stuff..."

"Oh? What kind?" I asked some more.

"It's complicated." He muttered.

"Do you like her?" I asked again.

This time he didn't say anything. I knew he liked her, from the way he talks to her and looks at her, I know that he does. Before Alex could continue two men suddenly barge in.

"Sorry, we went off," Brendon announced.

I gave both of them a look as I folded my arms. They looked scared as if I was about to blow. I sighed and gave a small smile. Despite everything going on I still managed to put on a smile.

Here we are again with another note. This fic is scaring me, seriously 1000 reads?! That's insane! In all honesty I don't know what to say but to thank you guys. Idk what you guys think about this fic or my chapters, love or hate them I'm still gonna continue writing. I remember when making my first chapter I always thought that it would take me a while to get readers but like 1000 reads in a span of less than four months makes my 200 reads celebration feel like nothing.
