Hey i've been working on this story for awhile, you've might have seen it elsewhere online but I love to get more feedback on it!!! I hope you like it!

***
“Why can’t I find a decent guy?” I screamed into the phone. My cousin, Jon, was listening intently on the other side. I told him everything. He was like a brother and that’s not just because his family took me in after my parents’ death. Aunt Kelly lost a sister but gained a daughter.
“Lys calm down. What happened this time?” I told him about the guy who just broke my heart, again. He was the drummer of a rising band. His name was Andy and hailed from Chicago, as myself. He was sweet; a real gentlemen. But then his band started to become famous or go mainstream as some fans called it. After two years of our on and off relationship, he broke things off for good. Claiming that it wasn’t me but him. And that the band was too popular, he wouldn’t have any time for me. But if it wasn’t for me dating Andy at the time Pete was signing this band to his label and the bands bassist not having the heart to continue music as a full time job, Jon would not have had the opportunity he did. “Brendon will be happy,” was his reply to my freaking out. Brendon Urie was the 19-year-old lead singer and guitarist of Jon’s band. Ever since he first saw me, he took interest into liking me.
“Thanks for comforting me.” I replied sarcastically. I sat down on my bed in a huff.
“You know how I feel about Andy.” Yes, he was not too fond of him for breaking my heart so many times. He has been trying to hook Brendon and I up. Brendon is a nice boy but I don’t know if I want to date a rock star, again. Brendon might claim it’s the road and I need a man in my life. “Why don’t you come and spend the weekend with us in Vegas. Bring Cassie.” Cassie is his girlfriend and my roommate at college.
“Jon I don’t know if I want to date another rock star. I don’t want to get my heart broken.” I confessed. Just then I heard keys rattling and the door flung open. Cassie just came back from her afternoon classes.
“Hey!” she called to me. I just waved. “Is that Jon?” she asked. I nodded. “Please tell him to call me when you two are done please.” I did.
“Lys I understand where you are coming from. All I’m asking is to go out and get to know the guy.” Jon told me. “He is head-over-heels for you and you barely know anything about him.” I thought for a moment. I have nothing against him. Jon thinks has right for me. Might as well give it a shot.
”Alright, I’ll go out with him and get to know him better. “I finally replied in the phone. By now Cassie was online and had her music playing.
“Thanks Lys! Please try to not to think about Andy. He’s not worth it.”
“Ok I’ll try. You can give Brendon my screen name if you like.”
“Will do.” he said. “See you tomorrow. Love you!”
“Yea see ya then. Love you too!” We hung up the phone and Cassie bombarded me with questions.
“He’s coming home?” I shook my head no.
“We’re going there.” she shrieked. I think it’s been about month since she last saw him. “We leave after our classes tomorrow.”
“Yay!” she exclaimed. “I need to pack.” and ran to her closet to pull out some clothes. “How long are we staying?”
“Just the weekend.” I informed her and hopped onto my computer. “I have date with Brendon.”
“What happened to Andy?” Tears started to swell in my eyes. I thought I could handle this but I can’t.
“He broke up with me. This time for good.” I softly stated. Instantly arms flung around my shoulders and hugged me tightly.
“Aww sweetie. I am sorry but Brendon is an amazing guy, He’ll treat you right”. I thanked her and hugged her back. It’ll turn out all right in the end. You’ll see.
“That sounds like a line from Beauty and the Beast.” I laughed. Which is my favorite Disney princess movie.
”It does!” she laughed then her phone rang. Must be Jon. she lunged onto her bed to search through her purse for her phone. “Hello.” I heard her say and I slipped back onto my computer. In about five seconds an im popped up. It was Brendon.

GoldPassion2: well I wouldn’t go that far
Singin4luvin: I’ll be the judge of that

Little cocky are we?

GoldPassion2: ok

“Hey Lys you ready to go to dinner”? I looked at the clock. It read 5-o-clock.
“ Sure” I told her.

GoldPassion2: Hey Cassie and I are going to dinner.
GoldPassion2: Will you be on later?

Why am I asking him this?!

Singin4luvin: Most likely.
GoldPassion2: Chat then!

I put my away message up and grabbed my keys. Followed Cassie out the door, locked it behind me.
“Jon told me that you were talking to Brendon.” Goodness, he can’t leave his mouth shut whenever he accomplishes something. I just glanced over to her as we boarded the elevator. “What did you talk about?” she eagerly asked me. I couldn’t be mad at her or Jon anymore. It was impossible to become in the first place.
“Well, we talked about our favorite movies. He told me he heard that I was an amazing writer and wanted to read some of my stories.” she squealed.
“I know he was right for you!”
“Please, Cassie. Andy just broke up with me only a few hours ago.”
“ Yes, but he’s been toying with your heart for two years. It was a matter of time he was going to break things off for good.” We walked off the elevator and headed through the lobby toward the front doors.
“I knew this day was coming, but I didn’t want to believe it.”
“I know sweetie. I keep thinking Jon might break things off with me because he’s so far away.” Wow she never confessed this to me before. “But then he goes and surprises me with plane tickets to see him.” she smiled.
“Yea, I think Jon would lose his mind first before ever breaking up with you.” I laughed and she did along with me.
“Well that day may come, you never know.” stated Cassie being optimistic. I smiled. No one knew what the future held for any of us. All I dream about right is finding a good guy and graduating college. “Back to you and Brendon.” She changed the subject as we neared the end of the path. We decided to walk around the building instead of inside since it was such a beautiful evening. “Brendon is such a nice boy! After knowing him and hanging out with him and living with you, I think you two will hit off great!”
“Yea when we were talking online, I kept thinking ‘Why did I ignore this guy?’ We have so much in common.”
“Exactly. That’s what Jon keeps telling me! He’s so excited that you two are finally going on a date this weekend. You know he hated to see you distraught every time Andy broke up with you? “
“Yes.” I softly stated being brought back to the good and bad memories of the relationship. I remember this one time in the middle of our relationship, Andy invited me downtown for the show. What I didn’t know that he planned on bringing me out on stage and profess how he felt about me and give me a promise ring. I laughed to myself.
“What?” asked Cassie. I told her as I played with the ring on my pinky finger. Even through all our breakups I still wore this ring because I thought I was in love him. But I don’t think I could forgive him after this. This time he pushed it to the next level. He cheated on me.
“Cassie, I can’t wear this ring anymore.” I took it off and handed it to her as we opened the cafe doors. She looked at it and stuck it in her pocket.
“Wow I guess it really is over.”
“Cassie, he cheated on me. “Was all I could get out before crying again.
“Sweetie, did you tell Jon?” she hugged me. I pulled away. I’d get tears on her pretty white blouse. I managed to shake my head no. You need to.
“He’ll kill him.” was all I said as I frivolously wiped away my tears.
