Question
Double Up
OBR - BR hits a Fly ball just behind the pitchers mound. R1 goes 1/3 way to 2b, evaluating the fly ball.
Fly ball is caught by the pitcher who then drops the ball on the exchange in attempting to rush to throw to 1B.
We signaled out and that the ball was dropped on the transfer. The defense then proceeded to throw the ball to 2B, thinking ball was dropped and now they have a force.
At this point there's a bunch on yelling and screaming... As a result, the BR stood on 1B and R1 trots off the field towards the 3rd base dugout.
After all was said and done. R1 was called out on abandoning the base.

The OP says both the defense and offense thought the ball was dropped so the call obviously was not clear.
