Do-Over (A Jayy Von Monroe FanFic; BoTDF)

Chapter 27; "I'm Not Sure If I Believe Her."

>***_Minuscule A/N_***<

I think we can all agree with Jayy's quote/Chapter Title here, even without context XD

>***_End Of A/N_***<

My eyes were wide with fear, locked on the knife in Ronnie's hand. I was trapped, though if I'd thought about it, I probably could've wriggled loose. But there's a lot you forget when you're on the brink of being murdered. Anyway I was too scared to move.

She came closer, smiling evilly. "What is it bitch? You scared of me?" She laughed when I didn't respond. "Too bad though."

"Wh-What...?" I dared in a small voice, more from fear than anything else. I hadn't been with Ronnie long enough to really have lost too much weight, being that she wanted me fully alert and aware so I could feel all the physical and psychological pain she dealt out.

"This isn't for what you think it is." She got close and muttered in my ear. "You're fucking lucky your boyfriend's little whore saved your ass." With that, she slipped the pocketknife behind my back and cut my hands free.

I yelped. "What?"

"Go back to the bastards. I got what I wanted. You might not be dead, but that little Davey bitch did what I wanted."

"It's Dahvie. And what did he do?"

"Testified for me."

My eyes dropped and I sighed. "I see. So I'm..."

"Free to go indefinitely. Unless one of you fucks up."

I nodded worriedly. A question I'd wanted to ask for a while occurred to me. "Wh-Where's Mom Ronnie? She wouldn't let you do this."

Ronnie just gave me an evil look and laughed. "Wouldn't you like to know."

My eyes darkened and dropped to the floor. Ronnie handed me the possessions I had when she took me, my phone, car and house keys, wallet, etc, and I took it without a word as I walked past. The second I was outside I called Jayy.

Jayy's POV

My phone rang around seven thirty, Hunter's number flashing on my screen. "Pause the movie Dahv. You probably want to hear this." He nodded and I answered the phone and put it on speaker.

"Jayy?" a slightly broken, apathetic voice asked. Despite it all, I knew in just a word that something was wrong. More than just having been kidnapped and probably tortured.

"You're on speaker with Dahvie here sweetie, what's wrong?"

"I don't mind speakerphone, and I need you to pick me up if you don't mind."

"Of course not angel, but what is it?"

"I've been with Ronnie."

I sighed. "We both know that's not all, but alright." I looked over at Dahv and mouthed "want me to ask if you can come?" but he shook his head. "I'll be over in a couple minutes. You outside the house?"

"Yeah. Don't worry, she said if we don't fuck up then I'm free indefinitely."

"I'm not sure if I believe her, but I feel a bit better at least. Stay safe babe, I'll be there soon." I went to hang up, but was stopped by a soft muffled sound. "Hunter?"

"It's fine Jayy," she managed through the sound of her shallow breath. She was crying. "And...Jayy?" she asked, her voice quiet and scared-sounding.

"Yeah angel?"

"I love you."

I gave a weak smile even though she couldn't see it. It was bad, but I couldn't help it. "I love you too," I returned gently. "Just hang on for me. Want me to stay on the phone? You'd be on speaker, but it'd be better than nothing, right?"

"Mm-Hmm."

"Alright sweetheart. Dahv, I'll be back."

"Okay."

I got in the car and talked to her as I drove, trying to comfort her without being there and finding it more and more frustrating that I couldn't hold her. Eventually I pulled up to the driveway, only to be unable to find Hunter. "Baby?"

"Yeah?"

"Where are you?"

"Oh, sorry, I hid in the back so no one would see."

"That's alright honey." I walked back and found her sitting curled up brokenly in the grass. I hung up a d put my phone in my pocket before pulling Hunter into my arms.

She gasped slightly as I pulled her close. "I didn't realize you were already behind me," she explained as she nuzzled into me.

I smiled gently, wiping a tear from her cheek and kissing her forehead. "C'mon, let's get you home."
