Panic at the Disco’s Jon Walker’s point of view

We all know it was evident that Althea was avoiding Ryan but Ryan was always persistent to hang out with her. When the two of us were left once, Althea asked me how Ryan was after the accident. Honestly, I didn’t know how to answer the question especially since I didn’t know what she wanted to know.

“He was okay. He never dated somebody else,” I asked looking down, avoiding her eyes. I wondered if that was what she wanted to hear. Rain started pouring. She pulled my hand and we went outside.

She putted her phone on loud speaker & a slow song played. He placed one of my hands on her waist & the other on her shoulder. “Isn’t this fun?” she asked as she grinned sheepishly but the rain couldn’t hide the tears from her eyes. I smiled at her. I couldn’t help but feel guilty & confused. I shouldn’t fall for Althea.

She wasn’t for me. Even my friends wouldn’t like this. I was glad when Brendon called for us to come in. We must have looked crazy. I pondered as I waited for Althea to finish changing in the bus’ comfort room.

“I thought it was clear that I liked her,” Ryan stated a little grumpily. I was taken aback somehow. He never said that to us as far as I can remember. Is he already remembering what happened before then? Spencer instead of Brendon came to my rescue. I was never really the talker.

“Can you please explain that further because I’m pretty sure my brain’s still working & it’s telling me you didn’t say anything like that anytime previously,” he shot back. "But.." Ryan stammered. He stamped off at a loss.
