Part 56:

B = Betty, V = Veronica 

*ON THE PHONE*

V: Veronica Lodge speaking.

B: Help.

V: GIrl I wish I could, I'm on the other side of the country.

B: The butterflies are back.

V: Aww.

B: Not aww, eww.

V: You really like him B.

B: His dad knows everything.

V: Really?!

B: Yep, he recognized me. So now he knows I'm living here and I'm becoming best friends with his sister.

V: Hey! Don't replace me!

B: She's 13 relax.

V: You're like already a part of the family.

B: I'm not, I'm just here...

B: He got me a present, he said I can't open it until Christmas though.

V: Ooh, what do you think it is?

B: I don't know, but I didn't get him anything.

V: Well, that's okay.

B: He told me I'm a gift.

V: Shut up!

B: How do I stop feelings?

V: You don't.

B: He knows practically everything about me now.

B: He knows about my parents, Malachai, there's nothing else to me.

V: That's a great thing.

B: I don't have any more walls, I'm scared.

V: He's not gonna hurt you B.

B: I'm scared I'll hurt him.

V: You don't want to hurt him, so you can't.

B: No, I can. I can mess him up in the head.

V: Well don't...

B: Veronica, I self-destruct.

V: Don't ruin a good thing, Betty. Try embracing it, but go slow.

B: Fine, maybe.
