The Return

Chapter 1

The Johnson's Mansion...

Veronica Johnson's POV...
7:30 a.m
Beep! Beep! Beep!

"Veronica! Veronica!" I heard my mother calling me, knocking on my bedroom door.

"Hmmm!!" I groan.

"Ronnie! If you don't get up, I'm coming in!" She said.

"Mom! I'm...sleepy!" I groan burying my head in my pillow, under my blanket.

As I was about to fall asleep again, a beautiful wonderland, I felt my blanket being pulled off.

"UP!!!!!" My mom screamed laughed while I groan sitting up.

"I'm up Mother Mary." I said and pulled my ear playfully.

"Are you forgetting what today is?" She asked.

"Mrs. Aria Johnson, I am perfectly aware, its Friday last day of school for the week." I said stretching and yawning. The reality hit me and I looked at her, she was raising her eyebrows.

"Today is... how could I have forgotten?! What the hell!" I said and she hit the back of my head in a playful way.

"Language young lady!" She said and I pouted.

"Mom!!" I groan lying back down.

"Ronnie! Time to get ready. You'll be leaving soon. Selena is all ready." She said and I looked away annoyed.

"Of course she is." I said.

"Ronnie, why can't you forgive her already?" My mom asked.

"Mom. She is the reason you went to jail and for dad's death." I said.

"Veronica, she isn't the reason your father isn't here. And she was scared that's why she lied, besides these were like over ten years ago, let it go." My mom said.

"Absolutely not." Veronica said.

"Ronnie, can you at least try to be nice? Pretend or something? She's lost a lot." She said.

"So have you mom, and so have I. Besides she also got back a lot." I said getting up from my bed and heading to my bathroom. I can here my mother sighing. I brushed my teeth and then took a shower.

After I was done, I threw on some jeans, crop top sweater with some shoes. I let my long wavy ombre hair down, did light makeup, grabbed my side bag that has basically my phone, headset, lip gloss, napkins, sanitizer and well you get my point. I then went down.

"There she is." Aunt Ivy said. I smiled and hugged them.

"So you ready to go?" My mom asked.

"All ready mom." I said smiling. I was going to college, I am almost eighteen years old and well, I wanted to start early.

"I can't believe my baby is all grown up." My mom said pinching my cheeks.

"Mom!" I said and they all laughed. Selena then came from the kitchen to the living room where we all were at. I felt my entire excitement vanished.

"Uhmm, sweetie. Both yours and Ronnie's suitcases are in the car. Did you all have everything?" Aunt Ivy asked.

"I do. Thank you." Selena said sweetly. Hmm! Must be pretending like she always does.

"Alright girls. Make sure and take care of each other alright. Call if you need anything." Uncle Scott said.

"Of course." Selena said and I felt everyone looking at me.
