Ch. 5: See You Again

•Dahvie's POV•

I followed Jeffree today. He was acting strange yesterday, so I decided to find out why.

I didn't recognize the neighborhood he was driving through, but when he pulled into the driveway, I knew exactly what was going on.

Jayy's house. I should have known. Jeffree can't be trusted. I bet he's telling Jayy about how miserable I am. How I haven't been able to make it through the night without having a panic attack. How I lost my appetite. How I've lost a bunch of weight.

But who cares? Jayy sure as hell doesn't. And you know what? Neither do I. It's time to move on. Start over.

I left Jayy's neighborhood and drove straight to the liquor store. I think I'll throw a party. Invite everyone. See what happens.

I think everyone who follows me on every form of social media turned up tonight. I've been asked for autographs and photos I don't know how many times.

I needed to take a break. I slowly made my way up the stairs and slipped into my room. I could finally breathe once the door shut.

"Dahvie?" I heard from behind the door.

That voice. Why is it so familiar?

"It's me, Haley." Oh. That's why.

"Haley? As in Haley Rose?" I replied.

"Yes dumbass, now let me in."

I opened the door and she slipped in.

"I could have swore you left with. . . Him." I still can't manage to say his name.

"I did. But I told you I'd be back, didn't I?"

"Yeah, you did," I smiled a little. "I've missed you."

We both sat on my bed so we could catch up.

"How's life been treating you?" She grinned.

"I think you already know the answer to that," I whispered.

"Well, you need to turn that frown upside down because I have a HUGE surprise for you!!" She shrieked jumping off of the bed pulling me with her.
