Patrick's POV

I can't believe what I'm feeling. This can't be happening! She's with Brendon. She loves Brendon. But I'm in love with her. Do I really? It's just when we were together something happened. I felt it. Surely she did too? It was a bittersweet thought.

Maddie's POV

I woke up still cuddled up to Brendon. I still wondered what Ryan had meant when he said Brendon hadn't been 'well.' I mean I was dating Brendon, but did i really know him? I pushed the thoughts away as he woke up.

"Morning." I smiled.

"Morning." He replied. I remembered what a fun night we had all had. The guys were still passed out on the floor. Twaimz was twitching, and Pete was snoring. Together Brendon and I made breakfast for everyone. I would need to get more food for everyone. Especially since Twaimz had arrived.

"Wow! This bacon is just, yes." Spencer said taking three more slices.

"Pancakes!" Gerard smiled as he drowned his in syrup.

"Mine looks like a llama." Twaimz said.

"Or a unicorn." Mikey looked at it. I noticed everyone eating and talking except for Patrick. He seemed deep in thought. A little troubled.

"You okay Patrick?" I asked. His head shot up quite fast.

"I'm fine. This food is just too good for words. Tastes better than my own cooking. I guess you just make things better." The words came out in a jumble. I laughed and continued eating.

"So what are we going to do today?" Ryan asked. Good question.

"Well you guys have been cooped up in the house for a long time. We should get out." I replied.

"Can we go laser tagging?" Frank asked. I looked at Brendon.

"We can afford it." He smiled. So it was settled. After we ate and got ready, the guys and I went off to go laser tagging.

"I'm going to cream you all." Twaimz said confidentially.

"I'm sure we'll be split up in groups. Considering there's like 12 of us." I reasoned.

"This we'll be just like a scene right out of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys won't it Gee?" Mikey asked his bro. Gerard gave him a sly look. "You bet!"

"Killjoys unite!" Frank called.

"Party Poison!" Gerard raised his hand.

"Fun Ghoul!" Frank did as well.

"Jet Star!" Ray joined in.

"Cobra Kid!" Mikey was last.

Spencer nudged me. "This is going to be epic." I laughed.

Patrick's POV

Every time I looked at her I saw her differently. Then I would see Brendon with his arm around her. That Bittersweet feeling returned, but I pushed it down. We were about to go inside. I can't do this. Not to my best friend.
