One Last Time

Chapter 1

13 missed calls, 20 messages, and 4 voice mails all from Scott Reed. Last night was a mess. But you can't tell Scotty. Monty stirs awake next to you. You put your phone away and walk over to him. "Hey," you say. Monty rubs his eyes and sits up in your bed. "Hi," he says to you. "How are you feeling?". Monty looks at you says, "Not that good, My head hurts." You stand up and grab some medicine for him. Monty calls you from your Room, so you grab the pills and the glass of water and go back quickly to him. "Scott was calling you. I think he's worried." You look at Monty and give hand him the glass and the pills. "I know. He is probably pissed. But right now, you are my priority, Monty." He gives you a sad smile and takes the pills and drinks the water.

Monty was fucked up and you knew it. But you couldn't help but try to protect him he was your best friend after all and always stood up for you. Even if you don't agree that what Monty did to Tyler is correct you even hate the fact that he has done something so wrong, but you couldn't help but try to support him and take care of him. And because of the guilt you felt for helping Monty you made Tyler get psychological help and you are paying for it. If Scott finds out about you protecting Monty, he would immediately break up with you and that is why you have been avoiding him ever since yesterday.

Monty fell asleep again. You closed the door and went downstairs when the doorbell rang. You aren't expecting anyone. So, you go to the door and open it to find none other than your boyfriend Scott reed he walks past you and turns towards you as you close the door. "We need to talk. Where have you been? And why haven't you been answering your phone?" He was marching towards the stairs to talk in your bedroom when you ran to catch up with him and said, "You can't go upstairs." He still goes up and finds a shirtless Monty lying on your bed. He slams the door back shut and says, "You've got to be kidding me" "Scott it's not what it looks like." "Well, what does it look like Y/N." "I-I" "Save it Y/N we are over." "Scott no waits" but he was already out of the door. You started to cry and slid against the door. You don't know how long it has been, but you stood up and prepared some food for Monty and went upstairs.

"Monty, you need to eat something." Monty sat up and started eating the sandwich you have prepared for him. "Charlie will bring some stuff by for you. Don't argue with me you are staying here." "I don't want to get between you and Scott Y/N/N" "You heard that?" "Yes" "Look Monty you have been my best friend before Scott became my boyfriend and if he can't respect me caring, loving and protecting my best friend than he should just leave me. It is not your fault Monty. You understand me?" He nods and looks at his hands. "I just feel bad for coming in between" You sat down beside him and took him in your arms. His head was resting against your chest. "You will always be the person I choose first." "I love you Monty and I am always here for you." "I love you too Y/N/N." You sat in a comfortable silence until the doorbell rang. "This must be Charlie. I'll open the door and come back to you. You should rest a bit more Monty."

You got out of bed and went downstairs. It was indeed Charlie, so you let him in. "Do you want to drink something?" "Yes, Water please." Charlie followed you to the kitchen and watched you prepare his cup of water. "I heard what happened between you and Scott." "News travel so fast in this town" "I am sorry about what happened." "Don't be my priority is Monty's safety and if he can't respect that nor even give me the chance to explain to him why Monty is laying in my bed upstairs. Than he should fuck off." "I completely understand you. How is by the way?" "I am not sure. But I'll keep you updated. Thank you for coming by." "You're welcome and bye."

You went back upstairs and saw Monty staring at the ceiling. "A penny for your thoughts?" "I don't know what is wrong Y/N I enjoyed Winston's company, but I am afraid he won't want to talk to me anymore and the whole Tyler thing is getting to my head and Me being the reason for Scott leaving you. I just hate myself and if I am gay, my dad will kill me." "If you want, I can talk with Winston for you and we will keep it a secret and I promise you your dad won't find out." "That would be great."

Later that night you called Winston and agreed that he would come tomorrow by to talk to Monty.

The next Day Winston and Monty were talking in your room upstairs when the doorbell rang, and you went to open in front of you was none other than Scott Reed and Justin Foley. "We know about what Monty did to Tyler. You need to stop protecting him Y/N." Thing is all Monty told you about the Tyler incident is that he punched him and smashed his head against the sink, you didn't know that Monty raped Tyler. "He fucking raped him Y/N" "I don't believe you. Monty would never do that. Monty did many fucked up things with Bryce, but he would never rape someone." "Talk to Tyler and he'll tell you." "No, I don't believe your group anymore you all were the reason why my best friend Hannah died you hurt her so bad that she committed suicide and even Clay hurt her by never telling her about his feeling so stop all playing innocent and stop blaming people for shit. You are all the reason why Bryce is dead he has done some massive shit, but he should have been punished by the police and not killed by a bunch of teenagers. It wouldn't wonder me if you helped killing him Scott. Now leave." Justin was looking past you and you knew he was staring at Monty. "Fucking Bastard why don't you tell her the truth. huh." You screamed at both to leave which they did.

One-week later Monty was arrested, and you didn't know why you ran as fast as possible with Winston to the police Station trying to figure out why Monty was arrested. Mr. De la Cruz was just leaving when you got there, and you knew something happened immediately. You let Winston see him first and then you.

"What the hell is happening Mont." You cried "Everything will be alright Y/N. I need you to stay by Winston's side and take care of him for me okay love? Promise me please Y/N/N." "I promise you I will" you said while tears where streaming down your face. "And promise me to stay strong and take care of yourself. I love you Y/N" "I love you too Montgomery De la Cruz".

You went outside to Winston and he hugged you while you cried in his chest and when you looked up you saw Scott, Clay, Justin, Jessica, Zach and Tyler walking by. You locked eyes with Scott, and he looked away seeing you in all this pain and knowing that both of you had no clue about what happened between Tyler and Monty. Winston took you out of the Police station. "I'll call a Lawyer for Monty and let's hope for the best. We are in this together."

One week later you get a phone call from Winston telling you Monty died and they are blaming him for murdering Bryce, which both of you knew wasn't the truth because on that night Monty was staying the night at your place with Winston while you were visiting your Grandmother in the hospital. You couldn't believe what Winston just told you. "We need to prove that he is innocent:" he told you. You just couldn't stop crying and said, "Could you come over?" "I am on my way Y/N."
