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

Chapter 1; "Do-Over."

It took a few minutes before anyone found me on the bus's floor. But it wasn't their fault. No one even knew she'd left until Aussie went to tell them. It was probably just the time it took them to understand that she was really gone. Or maybe that was just me.

Whoever it was though, eventually I felt Dahvie's chest against my cheek. "Oh God you poor guy." He rubbed my back as I cried into him.

"She left Dahv... She actually left..."

"I know she did Jayy... I know."

"She hated me that much...?"

"She never hated you Jayy. Never. It just wasn't working out here, with us."

I pulled away and glared at him through tears and pain. "She went home to die Dahvie!"

"Wh-What?"

I collapsed forward onto my palms in frustration. "Ronnie!"

"Jayy you don't know that Ronnie did anything to her."

"I called," I coughed out.

"What?"

"I called Ronnie," I said grimly, but clearly.

"She wouldn't've told you that," Dahvie said skeptically. I knew he just didn't want to believe it, I didn't either. I forgave him.

"She hasn't seen her. Supposedly-"

"So?"

"-But she's certain Hunter's dead," I finished.

"How would she know if she hasn't seen her?!"

"I wonder, I wonder."

Aussie looked shocked and Dahvie's eyes began to water. "She's...dead?"

I cried harder and Dahvie realized he wasn't helping. "Please...Just give me a do-over!" I begged.

"Oh Jayy, Jayy you poor thing... We'll be okay... At least she's not dealing with Ronnie's abuse anymore," he said brokenly. He was trying to convince himself as much as me. "And she's with Axel now..." His voice broke and he gave up. "Aussie... Watch him. I'm canceling tonight's show." He paused, probably glancing at me. "And tomorrow's."

Dahvie's POV

We went a week without doing a single show, but eventually something had to give. Jayy wouldn't even talk now, and barely ate. His phone was on the couch for two days, after which we moved it to the kitchen counter, assuming then that he wasn't going to get it, not for some time at the least.

I announces the tour was back on, but Jayy still wouldn't budge. Despite the fact that I understood, it was still heartbreaking to announce each concert that, due to extenuating circumstances, Jayy wouldn't be performing. But I knew full well he wouldn't come out for some time. After all, I hadn't even wanted to live when my star fell.
