My Bully

Chapter 23

Veronica's POV

We made it to the ball and everyone got out the van before me and Gray since we sat in the back. We all walked in one after the other and mine and Grayson's arms were linked together.

Once we reached the main hall, where are the dancing and tables were, we found out that it was a masquerade ball. We grabbed some masks and put it on. I felt so self-conscious and I just wanted to go home. Everyone looked so elegant and I looked like I was going to a party. I felt terrible but kept my head held high and plastered a fake smile on my face.

"Hey you okay?" Grayson asked me. I looked over to him and gave him the best fake smile ever.

"I'm fine now let's get this over with" I said. He chuckled and we walked to the table we were reserved at. Great it's a 2 person table. At least Hopes table is right next to ours so we're not completely alone.

"So Veronica you wanna dance?" He asked me. Why not? What do I got to lose?

"Sure" I said and he grabbed my hand and led me to the dance floor. There was one of those dances that everyone knows and does together. (Song above and I know it's from nick but I'm still a child at heart😂😛 and look up the dance if you want and that's the dance they're doing) we start the dance and it's so amazing and fun and I'm having so much fun. Then the DJ announces that we haft to switch partners.(lol that's what happens in the movie) when we switch partners, I guess it doesn't work out and I don't have a date to dance with.

Then out of nowhere, a random guy comes out of nowhere and starts dancing with me. (Lol sorry about the comparison I just love that movie and I thought that would be good for this story.😂)

"So I guess your my partner?" I ask him as we dance to the song.

"I guess I am" he says. He sounds familiar but I can't make it out. And he's wearing a mask which makes it harder.

"Do I know you? You sound very familiar but I can't make out your face" I ask so focused on trying to figure this out.

"Does this answer your question?" He asks. I'm confused but then he places his lips on mine, passionately. Then I finally figure out who it is and in shock I pull away.

"You?!? How are you here in Paris? And how did you know it was me? And why did you kiss me? You ass!" I said while pulling away from him. I looked around hopelessly for Hope but I saw her dancing with Ethan and I couldn't stop that.

I looked back at the ass that kissed me. I grabbed his arm and pulled him to the hallway that lead from the entrance to the main hall. I looked back and saw Grayson looking at us with hurt in his eyes.

"Explain now!" I said to him.

"I came for you" he says and leans in but I push him away.

"Don't you dare! You hurt me and I'm not going to let you hurt me again. I'm not believing none of your bull" I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"Please Veronica! It was a mistake and I regret it! Please believe me!" He pleaded.

"Yea right. You don't regret anything! Why can't you just leave me alone?!" I said to him with tears threatening to escape but I blinked them away.

"Because I love you!" He exclaimed but I didn't believe him one bit.

"Bull sh*t! You don't love me! You never did! Just leave me alone!" I said as a single tear escaped my eye.
