y/n's pov
i wake up to jonah yelling.
i use all my strength to run downstairs to see what happened.
i see him standing at the front door.

"wh-what's wro-wrong?" i breathe out.

"y/n! oh my god. sit down. you can't be worn out." he said speeding towards me.

he sits me down on the couch.
i rest my head on his shoulder.

"what was that about?" i asked jonah looking up at him.

"the package guy threw my package down." jonah chuckled and squeezed me.

"breakfast?" i ask.

he nods and picks me up.
he sits me down and grabs me some cereal.
daniel, corbyn and jack were already in there.
we all eat in silence.

"where's zach?" i ask breaking the silence.

"no one knows." jack said concentrating on his cereal.

"i might." i said.

"where?" the boys said in union.

"not saying, it's his spot." i said.

we all finish up and i help daniel clean up the mess.

"daniel?" i say putting the last of the dishes into the dishwasher.

"yea?" he said sitting on the counter.

"if me and zach never work out, i don't know if i'd be happy again." i said sitting on the counter and looking down.

"you will." daniel reassures.

"how?" i ask giving him the soft puppy dog eyes.

"just trust me. you will." daniel kisses my forehead.

i smile and look up.
'i love you' i mouthed to him.
he smiled and held me close.

"i love you too." he whispered faintly.

i sighed.

"i have a zach to go get." i sighed out again.

"be careful beautiful." daniel said helping me down.

i nod and grab my keys and head out.
i drive to his spot.

i arrive at the hollywood sign.
i walk over to where zach usually is.
and surprise surprise, he's there.

"hey silly. what's up." i say sitting down next to him.

"nothing, i just, i have to tell you something but it'll ruin us. it'll ruin this." he sighed.

"it's ok baby. i can understand." i say reassuring him.

"but you won't with this." he says looking at me.

"what?" i asked nervously, kinda knowing what he's gonna say.

"i-i cheated on you." he said looking down at his hands.

my heart dropped.
hearing it from him made it true.
i get up.

"baby." he said struggling to stand up.

"i knew it. i knew i should've listened to daniel." i started to cry.

"baby, please don't cry. i didn't mean to hurt you." he tried touching me.

"no, stop. don't touch me. i'm done with you." i said walking away to my car.

i quickly drive back home.
i storm inside the house quickly running up to my room, slamming my door.

he squeezed me and we cuddled.

"wanna watch netflix?" he asked making me look up at him.

i nod and cuddle into him.

"i'm gonna go get some popcorn, stay here." daniel said pausing the show and walking downstairs.

*****WARNING! SELF VIOLENCE WARNING*****

i quickly get up and hurry towards my closet.
i grab a chair and a belt.
i tie the belt on my closet bars.
i tie the other side around my neck.
i step onto the chair.
i take a deep breath than kick away the chair.

"i'm back!" i hear daniel say as i loose feeling.

"y/n?" daniel than said as my vision became blurry.

daniels pov
i returned to y/n's room not seeing her.

"i'm back!" i yelled hoping she'd return.

no answer.

"y/n?" i say a little louder.

no answer.
i than start frantically looking for her.
i check her bathroom.
no y/n.
her closet.
oh my gosh.

"what the fuck!" i yell my voice cracking.

i get her down from hanging in the air.
i fall to the ground with her in my arms.
i quickly grab my phone from my pocket.
i dial zachs number.
i rings.

"what." the other line said.

"y/n, sh-she tried k-kil-killing herse-herself." i sob into the phone.

"oh my god, get her to a hospital, now. i'll meet you guys there." zach said hanging up.

i gather my strength and force myself to my feet.
i run down the steps and corbyn's the first to see me.

"what happened?" he said running towards me.

"she tried." is all i could get out.

corbyn understood and we rushed out the house.
we got into his car.
him driving and me holding y/n's lifeless body in my arms.
