we got back to LA at 8pm at night. brendon was waiting for us at the airport. as soon as i saw him, a smile grew onto my face. we went to him and hugged the crap out of him.

he took mariah home who ran into her house fast as fuck. we heard her screaming josh's name from outside. we laughed and then brendon offered to get us some McDonalds. i gratefully agreed as we went to the drive thru.

after getting food for me, brendon and sarah we headed back. the talk was short as i was so tired and we needed to talk anyway. we got home and the dogs ran to me and barked. i laughed and knelt down to pet them. sarah came out and hugged me too.

after we all had our mcdonald's i went up to get ready for bed. after i had brendon came to my room. "how you doing?" he asks, sitting next to me.
"i've been better" i shrugged.
"your gonna be okay" he pulled me closer to him as he let me relax in his arms. "your so good to me and i'm such a bitch" i replied. "nice people don't deserve to feel shitty" brendon said to me which made me feel so much better.

we talked some more - DEEP CONVOS - and then he let me sleep. but i couldn't. it was 12:30 by now and i was wide awake. then suddenly my door opened. brendon had a ukulele with him. "hey" he grinned cheekily. "what are you up to?" i smiled. "well..." he came over to me and started playing.

"All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
My life started the day I got caught
Under the covers
With secondhand lovers
Oh, tied up in pretty young things
In a state of emergency
Who was I tryna be?
Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it (over it)
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
I was drunk and it didn't mean a thing
Stop thinking about
The bullets from my mouth
I love the things you hate about yourself
Just finished a daydream
Who were you tryna be?
Then the time for being sad is over
And you miss 'em like you miss no other
And being blue is better than being over it (over it)
No one wants you when you have no heart and
I'm sitting pretty in my brand new scars and
You'll never know if you don't ever try again
So let's try
Let's try
Let's try
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)
All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
Show praise with your body
Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah)
And if you can't stop shaking, lean back
Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah)
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers (Hallelujah)"

by the time he finished i was fast asleep. "good night beautiful" he kissed my head, turned the lights off and left the room.
