So I wrote this just because I and many readers who read the original version were looking for an aftermath. So I decided to write it. Now I decided I would write two versions, a happy ending where Jaune survives, and one where he dies. Now let's begin with his death.

Now for a quick recap.

Jaune overheard Weiss as she was asked out by Neptune. The others were surprised to she her accept a date by someone who used the same nickname for her as Jaune.

She berated Jaune, he runs off from the library as he decides he should do as she says, buzz off.

Now let's recall Jaune at his final moments.


"Today's the day" Jaune said to nobody.

Today's the day.

Jaune neared the entrance to the dorms. He stretched before going inside. Walking down the hall, he stared at team JNPR's dorm room, then back at team RWBY's dorm. Jaune took out his scroll, and opened the door to team RWBY's dorm.

Looking around, Jaune spotted Gambol Shroud and picked it up. He thought he heard some sort of sound, but he shrugged off the feeling.

Sighing again, for what felt like the thousandth time, he stepped out into the hallway, closing the door behind him. He glanced to the left, then to the right. Nobody. Heh, that's good. Jaune went inside JNPR's room.

The teen took his sword, and stuck it into the ceiling as deep as it could go. Or as deep as I could push it. Pyrrha or Ruby could've probably pushed it deeper. Making sure it was secure, he wrapped Gambol Shroud's ribbon around the hilt.

Stepping onto his bed, he couldn't help but think to himself.

Hah. I could've just used Crocea Mors to cut my wrists... I'm really dumb. Jaune straightened out. Nevermind, It would've made a mess they would need to clean. This is probably better. He made wrapped the ribbon around his neck. Tugging on it, just one more time to see if it wouldn't fall, he smiled.

Today's the day.

He was scared. He was about to die, who wouldn't be scared?

Today's the day, Jaune reassured himself.

He leaped off of the bed.

He could feel it.

His feet as they dangled in the air.

He could feel his body react to the ribbon chocking him, his feet frantically moving around to find a surface to survive.

But it was too late.

He was far from any bed, chair or table to support himself to live.

Not that he would care if he could.

He wanted this. And he could feel it working.

As his breathing was restricted, he could feel his consciousness slipping away.

As just as death was ready to claim his life, he said one last thing.

"Fuck... you... all..."

And with those final words, Jaune Arc successfully died.

The room was dead silent, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Gamble Shroud's ribbon stretching.


Meanwhile

Ruby walked through the halls as she slowly made her way towards team JNPR's dorm. Though she was surprised when she heard her name being called by a familiar voice, but it also bothered her to hear it.

"Ruby!" Weiss called out as she and Yang ran up to her.

"What do you want?" Ruby asked, not looking at her.

"Where are you going?"

"To see Jaune."

"Why?" Ruby paused as Weiss asked that question.

"Why? WHY?! Did you not see Jaune as he ran off?! He was destroyed by you! He's dealing with enough as is! You didn't have to be so mean!"

"But- I-"

"Forget it! We're here..." True to her word, they stood in front of team JNPR's dorm.

Ruby leaned towards the door, and knocked.

"Jaune? Are you in there?"

No response.

She knocked again.

"Jaune? Are you okay?"

Still no response

When she knocked a third time, she noticed the door was slightly open.

When she pushed the door open, her eyes widened, she wasn't ready to see what the room held.

"AHHHHH" Ruby cried.

"Ruby! What's wrong?!" Yang asked as she and Weiss ran beside her to comfort her.

Ruby just sat on the floor as she had her knees to her chest, but she pointed into the room as she shook, and said;

"Jaune..."

The other two look into the room and were shocked at the sight.

Jaune Arc's body hanging from the ceiling.

"Oh my god! Did Jaune actually do this?!" Yang said as she freaked out. She didn't think Jaune would do this!

"Why would he do this though?!" Weiss asked.

"Because you did this to him!" Ruby cried as she pointed at Weiss and Yang, tears rolling down her face.

"You all did!"

It was only a matter of time till NPR and Blake showed up.

The sight of Jaune's hanging body affect them all.

Blake cringed, Nora threw up immediately, Ren held a frown of dissapointment, not at Jaune, but himself for being a cause of his death, and Pyrrha passed out immediately at the sight.

They finally notified Ozpin of Jaune's fate. He was not happy. Not only did a student die under his watch, but his incompetence to do anything about Cardin's bullying, believing that anyone can change.

He was wrong, and so he paid the price for it by losing a student.

His family would be furious when they hear about this.


Fast forward a week from that terrible day.

A group of people stood by a grave.

Those people were Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Nora, Pyrrha, Ren, Ozpin and Jaune's family.

Team CRDL was expelled from Beacon for their repeated harassment of other students and a key factor in Jaune's death.

The remaining members of JNPR remained as a 3 man team.

Pyrrha was naturally made leader, but she always felt dirty being the leader, like as if he position itself was knawing at her.

Nora because less joyful, all her life she felt misery unless with Ren, but when she learned that she played a factor in Jaune's death, she couldn't forgive herself.

Team RWBY were never a well balanced team ever since Jaune died.

Ruby was torn up at her first friend dying because she stupidly did nothing to help him. She refused to talk to Weiss since, she blamed her most of all as she was the final push that was needed. The team dynamic fell.

Jaune's parents were torn to hear that their only son is dead, worse that he took his own life.

There were fights amomg the family, sisters against parents as they tried to blame each other for Jaune's death, but they all played a part in it.

Who would've thought the death of Jaune would've affected them this much?
