Veronica's P.O.V.
It was finally the end of the day; I was getting sick of the announcement repeatedly mentioning Prom. I know I won't be going with anyone, let only even going. I counted down the seconds until the bell rang, cutting off the announcements.
It was getting close to our last days as seniors, I walked out to my car, I pulled out my wallet so that I could get some food preferably Taco Bell. I drove to the nearest Taco Bell and got some food and as I was pulling out to the road some jerk whips out in front of me. Almost hitting me, my heart sped up, what if he did hit me?
I thought about on my way home, I walked into my house, my brother was already home. He sat on the couch looking at me, a slight smile on his face. I smiled back but it quickly faded, I looked around the house.
"Where's Mom?" I fought back my tears.
"At work...? Veronica are you okay?" My brother Alex asked.
"Yeah...No, my world could've ended today.." His express quickly changed, he stood up and hugged me.
"Veronica, I'm so sorry." He tried to comfort me. I rushed to my room, I went to my room and unlocked my phone. I began scrolling through Instagram as I waited for my mom to text me back. My phone vibrated soon after I threw at the wall.
A unknown number popped up on my screen.
From: Unknown Number
Heeey, its Carter! Lacey gave me your number!
To: Carter
Oh hey...
From: Carter
What's wrong?!
To: Brent
Oh.. um nothing.
I then pushed my phone of the bed and fell asleep.
