I do not own any characters in 13 Reason's Why. I only own Lexi Cabello.

Will or may contain triggering subjects.

This story features scenes/story lines from 13 Reason's Why. But I've made a few changes, making it a AU story. Adding in my own story lines based around Lexi.

- Hannah & Jeff are not dead

- Bryce is not a rapist...nor Monty

- Alex did not shoot himself in his head

- Justin did not take drugs

You may be thinking, why Monty? After what he did to Tyler. Like I've stated, this is kinda like an alternate universe, removing some of the things that happened. What Monty did...I have no words. But before that I fell in love with Monty & Timothy. So I am putting aside that certain scene/situation. As you have seen in 13 Reason's Why,Monty can be protective (making sure Tyler is not taking photos of girls). Caring (when he interrupted Chloe and Bryce talking, he was worried he was interrupting). And apologetic (when he bumped into the girl in the hallway, he apologised). I'm focusing on that side of Monty. Removing the incident of what he witnessed between Bryce and Hannah in the hot tub, and the bathroom scene.

So if you love Monty or Timothy, but don't like the horrible scenes Monty was in, but love the protective, caring and apologetic side. This is the story for you.

I also titled this story 'Without Me', based on the Halsey song. During the chorus it relates to Lexi in a big way, and you will soon figure out why.

In the meantime, if you haven't heard the amazing song, check it out.
