My Bully

Chapter 28

Veronica's POV

I currently sit in the cafe balling my eyes out. I can't believe what just happened. I lost everyone I love.

-flashback-

"How could you?" Grayson asks me.

"How could I what?" I ask shakily.

"Mike told us" Hope whispered. She wouldn't even make eye contact with me and that hurt like a bullet to the head.

"Look I can explain-" I started but Ethan cut me off.

"What do you mean you can explain?! THERES NO EXPLANATION FOR ROBBING A F*CKING FAMILY VERONICA!" He yells at me. That hurt so much. It's like he jabbed a knife into my heart and turned it so many times.

"JUST LET ME EXPLAIN" I yelled back while tears were rolling down my cheeks.

"FINE TRY TO EXPLAIN TO US" He yelled and sat down on the couch. Hope still wasn't looking at me but I knew she was listening and Grayson just had his head in his hands the whole time.

"Okay so I was dating Mike and we had just gotten into a small fight and I was sad so I was walking down the street all alone. Note that it was night time. I was walking when I feel two arms wrap around me and pull me into a van. The man said that I had to do something for him or he would kill me. He had a mask and voice modulator on so I didn't know what he looked like or anything. He gave me a knife and said if I tried any thing that he would kill me. I was too scared to do anything about it. We pulled up at a house and he told me to put a mask on and follow him. I did as told. He broke into the house and we saw a family eating dinner. He tied them up and I was crying as I was watching him grab stuff and take it to his van. I was in charge of making sure the family didn't do anything. When the man wasn't looking, I stabbed him in the stomach and twisted like I learned in a tv show and he passed out onto the ground. I untied the family but I still felt terrible. The children looked terrified of me and so did the parents. I called the police and they came but arrested me too. I explained everything that happened and the family backed me up on my statement. The man ended up bleeding out and he died. So yes I was arrested but I'm the one that saved the family. I did not rob that family" I said and by now I was crying just thinking of that day.

"Bullsh*t that's the worst story I've ever heard" Ethan said to me and I started crying harder than I already was if that's possible.

"Please you haft to believe me" I sobbed.

"Sorry Veronica but we just don't believe you." Grayson said. I looked over to Hope.

"Hope?" I asked. She turned her back to me. I cried even harder and ran out the door.

-present-

I cried. Crying was the only thing I could do. Waterfalls were coming out of my eyes. There was nothing I could do. I had lost everyone I ever loved.

"Are you okay" I hear a voice say. I look up to see the boy who was staring at me before.

"Not really" I say and wipe away my tears.

"Well you think you can use a friend?" He asks me. I nod my head slowly and he smiles.

"I'm Dakota" he says and hold out his hand.

"Veronica" I say and weakly smile while shaking his hand.

"So what's wrong? If you want to tell me of course you don't haft to" he says.

"No I wanna tell you. I haft to talk to someone" I say. He nods. I tell him everything about the man taking me and making do what I did to that family and how Ethan and Grayson and Hope acted. After I was done, I am crying again and I expected him to leave me too. But he surprised me.

"Wow I'm so sorry" he says and gives me a hug.

"It's okay. So you don't hate me?" I ask him.

"Of course not. I believe you, the look in your eyes tell me your truly sorry for what you did. But you did good of taking care of that guy" he says. I smile because he's too sweet.

"Thanks so where are you from?" I ask.

"Florida but I live in California" he says,

"Me too!" I say excited.

"So where are you staying at?" He asks. I point to my hotel.

"Me too!" He says. I smile.

"Well I've gotta go but can I have your number? Your like my only friend right now and I would like to talk to you more" I say to him.

"Yea of course" we exchange numbers and then we go to the hotel together then say goodbye as he makes his way to the elevator. I go to the front desk to ask for a new room of my own. I got one that's luckily far away from the twins and Hope's rooms. I walk to the elevator and enter. As I exit the elevator I notice I have to face Hope and probably the twins. I groan and enter the room.

The twins are still there and Hope is knocked out on her bed. The twins are on the couch talking to each other when I walk in and they immediately stop talking and look at me blankly.

"May we help you?" Ethan asks rather rudely.

"Nope" I say and go to grab my suitcase.

"Where are you going?" Grayson asks.

"To my new room" I say while putting all my thing into my suitcase.

"Oh" is all he says. This has made me realize who my real friends are but clearly I don't have any except now I have Dakota. I thought Hope and Ethan and Grayson were my real friends but real friends would believe each other and trust each other. But they obviously don't trust me or believe me.

I leave the room without turning back to them.

I'm done with them.
