Don't Let Me Down (LH)

Highly disappointed that people forgor πŸ’€ who Daya is.

Earth 27
Lexi's View

"I'll never hear the end of it from Cassie." I say.

"You should be worried about Maddy. She's the type to push your head in a brick wall and give you a concussion." Y/n says.

Crashing, hit a wall

"I am just hoping that God will give me the strength to protect me physically and mentally." I say.

Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle

"Well, I'll be there. I am your lucky charm after all." Y/n says.

Stranded, reaching out

"You better." I say.

I call your name, but you're not around

"I pinkie promise." Y/n says.

I say your name, but you're not around

"I gotta go. I love you, bye." Y/n says.

"I love you too." I say.

Y/n hangs up and I smile.

Time Skip

"Why was I not given a front row seat?" Maddy says.

"Because you're late." I say.

"And she started getting ready 3 hours ago." BB says.

"Shut up." Maddy says.

"Where's Y/n?" I ask.

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now

"Who?" Maddy asks.

"Y/n." I say.

Yeah, I need you right now

"Oh, that bitch. I don't know. Was I supposed to know?" Maddy says.

"She said she'd walk in with you guys." I say.

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down

"I thought she was in Japan." Kat says.

"She flew here and landed last night." I say.

"Oh, well, I didn't see her." Maddy says.

Fuck.

I think I'm losing my mind now

"It's fine." I say lying.

It's in my head, darling, I hope

Maddy shrugs her shoulders and walks away.

"Hey Lex." Fezco says.

"There better be some kind of drama." Ashtray says.

Fezco and Ashtray actually came? Now I'm gonna be really pissed if Y/n doesn't make it.

That you'll be here when I need you the most

"You're in for a surprise." I say.

Ashtray smiles and they walk away.

There will be no excuse for missing my play when Y/n flew 5300 miles to come see it.

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down

"I'm gonna fucking kill her." I mumble.

D-Don't let me down

15 minutes later...

"Hey." Y/n says.

"Where are you?" I ask.

Don't let me down

"What?" Y/n asks.

"Where are you?!" I ask.

Don't let me down, down, down

"I can't hear you." Y/n says.

"Where the fuck are you?!" I ask.

Don't let me down

"I still can't hear you, it's too dark in here. Ha, leave a message." Y/n says.

I groan loudly and hang up.

Don't let me down, down, down

"Doors are closing in 2 minutes." Someone shouts.

R-R-Running out of time

"What's wrong?" Ethan asks.

"Y/n isn't here and she promised that she would be." I say.

I really thought you were on my side

"You don't need Y/n to make this play happen." Ethan says.

"Who's gonna stop Maddy from smashing my face in wall?" I ask.

But now there's nobody by my side

"I'm gonna kill her!" Maddy shouts running away.

Y/n sighs and chases after Maddy.

"You don't want to disappoint all of those people, do you?" Ethan asks.

I sigh and nod.

"The show must go on." I say.

Ethan smiles and walks away. I grab my phone and unlock it.

No notifications from Y/n. She better have a good excuse for this.

25 minutes later...

I hear slow clapping and I peek through the curtain.

"Lexi, you really outdid yourself." Cassie says.

Cassie always does this. Usually Y/n can try to get her to stop but she's not here.

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now

"Wooo!" Cassie shouts.

Everyone stares at Cassie and she giggles.

"C'mon." Y/n says getting up.

Cassie gets up and follows Y/n down the hall.

"It's your sister's birthday and you're being a bitch. It's not about you, don't make it about you." Y/n says.

"Iβ€”" Cassie says.

"Not everything has to be about Cassie. It's time you grow the fuck up and realize that. You're 18 β€” you can adopt children but you're acting like you are one." Y/n says.

"If you can't sit back down and shut your mouth, then don't go back in there." Y/n says.

Y/n sighs and comes back in the room.

"I mean, where did she find these knock-offs?" Cassie asks.

"Where's Y/n when you need her?" I mumble.

Yeah, I need you right now

"I had no idea how hard your life was Lexi. Can we give a round of applause for how hard Lexi's life is?" Cassie says.

I hear clapping and I clench my fist.

"Why can't you ever just sit back and shut your fucking mouth?" Y/n asks.

"I can say whatever I want." Cassie says.

"Or I can shut it for you." Y/n says.

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down

"Come out, you're the big star of the day." Cassie says making me come out from behind the curtain.

"You have the mind of a 25 year old woman with 2 kids and a mortgage but you choose to deal with idiots with the brain of a 6 year old." Maddy says.

"I think Cassie is more of a 3 year old." Y/n says.

"Stop, stop, please stop." I whisper.

I think I'm losing my mind now

"You're such an idiot." Cassie says.

"You're the fucking idiot for thinking Nate Jacobs wants more than your fucking body." Y/n says.

"Wait, what?" Maddy asks.

"I'm not the one putting on a show to embarrass ME." Cassie says.

Please let this be a nightmare.

It's in my head, darling, I hope

"That's all you ever fucking say. Me, me, me, me β€” did it ever occur to you that we don't fucking care?" Y/n says.

"Oh my god. Please mom, mom." I say.

That you'll be here when I need you the most

"Stop." Mom says.

"Lexi, I'm gonna fucking kill you." Cassie says.

"Why does Y/n always have to defend you? Why can't you fight your own battles?" Cassie asks.

That you'll be here when I need you the most

"You wish you had someone like me to do what I do for Lexi. You wish you had a ride or die." Y/n says.

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down

I shake my head and walk away.

I just can't wait for this to be over.

30 minutes later...

"It was pretty good aside from the whole Cassie thing." Fezco says.

"That was the best part." Ashtray says.

We laugh and Ashtray smiles. They walk away and I sigh.

Y/n never showed up, she let me down.

D-Don't let me down

"Hey." Y/n says walking up to me.

Don't let me down

"I don't want to talk to you!" I say.

Don't let me down, down, down

"Did I do something wrong?" Y/n asks.

Don't let me down, down, down

"You weren't here for the play and now you you show up like you were." I say.

Don't let me down, down, down

"I was, I sat next to Rue." Y/n says.

Don't let me down

That girl beside Rue kind a looks like Y/n β€” maybe not.

Don't let me down, down, down

"I'm sorry, I didn't even recognize you." I say hugging Y/n.

Ooh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah

"It's alright, probably just the hair dye." Y/n says.

Ooh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah

"If you were here then why'd the play fall apart? I thought you were my lucky charm." I say.

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now

"I thought it was good, Rue thought it was good, my unborn children thought it was good β€” we all thought it was good." Y/n say.

Yeah, I need you right now

I smile and nod.

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down

"I'll take you and your mom out to dinner to make up for that mess." Y/n says.

I think I'm losing my mind now

"Good because I need a drink." Mom says.

It's in my head, darling, I hope

Time Skip

"Why are you holding into me so tightly?" Y/n asks.

That you'll be here when I need you the most

"I don't want you to go." I say.

So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down

"I've been gone for the past year, I thought you had gotten used to it." Y/n says.

Don't let me down

When Y/n graduated, she moved to Japan to learn the languages and go to their "prestige" culinary school.

Yeah, don't let me down

I said that when I graduated I would go to Japan to be with her. Now I don't have to because she says she'll be back February 2023.

Yeah, don't let me down

"Flight 267 to Japan is boarding now." Someone on the loud speaker says.

Don't let me down, oh, no

"I love you." Y/n says hugging me.

Said don't let me down

"I love you too." I say.

Don't let me down, no, oh

Y/n smiles and I kiss her.

Don't let me down

I smile and Y/n walks away.

Don't let me down, down, down
