Ashley's POV~

I take a deep breath before knocking on Vero's door and it opens revealing her mom.

"Oh heyy Ashley, come in come in," her mom says letting me inside.
"Hello Ms. Dale, thank you," I say with a nervous smile on my face.

I go inside her home and look around to see that she was cleaning.

"Don't worry sweetie I'm just about done. So, I'm guessing you're here for miss fugitive? She's upstairs in her room."
"How is she?"
"Silent as a dead mutt. She barely even uttered one word since she got released. She must be still thinking about that girl."
"They were really close Ms. Dale. Their bond was really strong so I don't blame Vero to miss her...even I miss her..she was my friend.."
"I know sweetie and I know it's really hard for the both of you."
"Especially Vero..may I see her please?"
"Of course dear; be easy on her."
"I will," I say whilst making my way up to her room and knocking her door.

"Vero, it's me Ashley. May I come in?" I wait for an answer and heard none. "Hmm Veronica can I come in please?"
I wait a little more and hear a slight 'mhm' from her.

I gently open the door and see Vero curled up in her bed looking out of space. Making my way over to her, I kiss her cheek and hug her close.

"How're you holding up Vero..?" I ask nervously.
Vero says nothing; her eyes keep in one direction.
"Well uhm..if you're up for it, there's this party going on at Westwind Avenue we can try to shake off this feeling and let loose. What do you say?"
"Luck...I don't think my mom would want the first I do being released from prison is going to a party.."
"Hmm I know I know. But pleaassee, it'll be fun; it'll make you feel at least a little better. As a matter of fact, your mom doesn't need to know, we can tell her we're going to walk around the park to make you vent."
Vero looks up at me. "You're being a bad influence.."
"So were you when we first met, and guess what I met the guy I'm still with right now. My bad influence is going to make you feel a little better at least so our bad influences are going to help each other because that's just our friendship."

Vero laughs a bit. "I agree with that. Alright let's do it."
Vero goes to her wardrobe and picks out her clothes to wear while I wait on her.

"So how's he? Brad I mean," Vero asks as she starts changing.
"He's alright, he was a little worried about you though. Oh yeah he told me to tell you to stay strong and keep being you."
"That's cheesy of him."
"Hey, be grateful he even said anything," I say with a light giggle.
"You're right, the wise words from the bad boy taken."
"Oh hush."

Vero then gets back silent as she finish changing into her dark purple long sleeve shirt and her navy blue jean shorts with her dark purple nike air sneakers. "I'm ready."

"Sweet. Alright let's go." I take Vero by the arm and escort her downstairs to the front door as I call out to her mom.
"Miss Dale, me and Vero are going out-going to the park."
"The park? Oh to let her get some fresh air?"
"Y-Yea. And to let her vent because she needs it."
"Okay sweetie. Make sure she doesn't go anywhere else okay?"
"Okay."

Me and Vero then leave the house heading to the party.
