I’ve been wanting to write a string of Heathers: The Musical fanfictions to fill in different time jumps in the story. This one happens right after “The Me Inside of Me” and lays the groundwork for a lot of JD’s manipulation later in the story.
If you haven’t watched The Musical, you’re surely missing our and probably won’t understand most of this.

I let out a deep, tense breath, throwing my bag against my closet door and slumping into my bed. “How did you know that would work?” My voice was shaky. Faking grief of Heather’s death was easy when it stung so badly. JD shook his head and leaned against the wall facing me. “You assume I know a lot more than I do. If we’re being honest. This dumb ass town will believe basically anything we spin their way.”
I smiled, looking at him I felt like I could do anything. I reached out my arms and he walked towards me painfully slowly before slipping into my embrace. I let out another relieved breath. My arms were heavy and tired, but with him close I felt safe. Relaxed. “I’m confused.” I said without realizing.
