Yellow Hearts

Convince Me

"Bonnie."

"Hm?"

"Why do you wanna die?"

She was quiet then she smiled.

"I never found a reason to live."

"What about your mom?"

"Tay, everyone I've ever known has their own people. They'll miss me for a few months but they'll get over it soon enough. I don't really have that. I love my parents, of course I do...but even they can't make me wanna live."

Taylor was quiet for a moment.

"What if we convinced you?" she finally asked.

"What?"

"We can't fix you, you have to do that yourself, but you have us. And we love you. Even if Tyler and Ashlyn will never say it, we love you. Give us a year and we'll convince you."

"And if you don't?"

"We will." Taylor mirrored her smile. "Now let's go! Aiden said he bought a new game. I wanna see Logan beat him."

Bonnie laughed and they linked arms. "Let's go."

"There you two are," Tyler said once he spotted them. "I've been waiting."

"We've just been talking," Taylor said.

He crossed his arms. "Walk and talk alright."

"Yeah yeah let's go." Bonnie started walking down their driveway dragging Taylor with them. She quickly fell into step with them and Tyler followed behind. "How long until Aiden calls me?"

"Fifteen."

"Minutes?"

"Seconds."

And like he said in mere seconds 'Yellow Hearts' started playing from her phone. Taylor handed Tyler five dollars.

"Hey querido."

"Where are you guys?"

"On the way right now."

"Hurry up please, Ash is trying to kill me."

"Why exactly?"

"I touched her hair."

"Ooh. Yeah, okay, we'll be there soon."

"See ya– Ash I'm sorry!"

"No you're not."

Bonnie hung up and put her phone away. Soon enough they were in the rich neighborhood. A few more turns and they'd be at the mansion.

She called Aiden once they were outside. "We're here, open up."

"Well my dad was a busy man–"

"Open the fucking door!" Tyler yelled. He started banging his fist on the door. "Come on! OPEN UP FUCKNUGGET!!"

"Ty–"

"Bonnie you're finally here!" Aiden swung the door open and hugged her. "What took so long?"

"Walking from my house to yours."

"Aiden, come on!" Logan called from the stairs.

"Hold on, they're here!" Aiden let go of Bonnie and let them inside attempting to close the door on Tyler.

"Move!"

"No, don't think I will."

"Querido let him in."

"Fine."

"Finally!"

Up in Aiden's room Ashlyn and Ben were sitting on the floor while Logan set up the game.

"Oh my god you didn't!" Bonnie gasped.

"What?"

"He got my favorite game!"

"I thought Monopoly was your favorite game?" Taylor tilted her head.

"Monopoly is my favorite board game. Injustice is my favorite video game." Bonnie grinned. "That and Mario Kart."

"Of course you love Mario Kart..." Ashlyn sighed.

"Anyways I call next! I wanna beat Logan!"

"You don't think I can win?" Aiden whined.

"My bad." She kissed his cheek and he brightened. "I believe in you, mí caballero."

"Alright Logan let's go!" He jumped back on the couch and Bonnie sat next to him. Tyler and Taylor sat in front of them.

It was a short round like most games that were Aiden against Logan were. Bonnie though, oh she was a monster.

A master but a monster.

"How are you so good?!" Tyler said.

"I play against my daddy all the time." She didn't look away from the screen as she and Logan faced off again. "Logan's really good though, much better than him."

"How long are you guys staying?" Ben asked.

"We can stay over!" Taylor smiled.

"Yeah Mom basically kicked us out."

"You're the one who was ranting about Babe Ruth."

"Taylor, I will disown you." He glared at her.

"I can stay too," Ashlyn said.

"Same." Bonnie nodded. "My mom wants me to spend more time with my friends instead of the mall."

"You love the mall."

"No, the mall loves me."

"I'll stay, I just need to call my grandparents first."

"Bet," Aiden said. "I'll order food."

"No need, I'll cook," Bonnie said.

"No way you know how to cook."

"I do! Tonight you guys are eating Baião de dois."

"Which is?"

"You'll see." She pressed one last button and smiled as Logan's character was defeated. "And that's game. Now who's gonna be my sous chef?"

"Me!" Taylor shot up and grabbed Tyler's arm. "And Ty!"

"Who the fuck–"

"Alright, now, you will learn how to cook the Cearán way."

Taylor promised to convince her and she did. But that was the problem, she realized.

If it was the death of the people who convinced her to live or her, Bonnie would choose herself every time.

_______________

notice how she's only referred to as Bonnie cuz she doesn't have a pov anymore ☺️

thought I'd make a few filler chapters while we wait for the next episode and I also wanted to sorta add a bit onto Bonnie's suicidality and show that at least Taylor notices her (probable cuz she doesn't know for sure) reasoning

will Bonnie live somehow? wait and see :)
