Change Me

Chapter 1

As the sun shines through my window waking me up, I start to feel my head pounding and my body aching. I get up walking over to the mirror and look at the monster staring back at me. As I gaze into the mirror I can see everything I used to be; Veronica, the good girl that made straight A's, never let her parents down, always done what she was. Now, I'm nothing like her. Now I'm Ronnie the girl who never comes home on time, parties all night long, and rarely goes to school. Faded memories of last nights party go through my mind and somehow all I remember is this guy. I don't remember much about him, but I remember his touch, the way he held me when he carried my drunk body home.

As I push the memory to the back of my head I finished brushing my teeth I begun to brush my long wavy brown hair; it went down to my mid back. I went into my closet and pulled out my red flannel and a grey tank top, perfect to go with my ripped skinny jeans and Dr. Martens.

"Veronica get down here right now!", my mom yelled.

I hate is so much when she calls me by my full name, but that doesn't stop her.
"

What?", I ask as I walked into the kitchen.
"Where the hell were you last night and who do you think you are getting an attitude with me?", she looked me dead in the eyes, if looks could kill.
"I went out."
"Don't 'I went out' me. What did I tell you about those parties? I told you that if you didn't stop with all this bullshit I'm taking away your car and you're grounded.", she said as she filled up with anger.

"Mom come on it was a stupid party, you don't have to take away my car!", I practically screamed at her. "A stupid party my ass, the bus isn't that bad, now go Veronica."

*Harry's point of view from night of the party*

"Zack this party is lit as fuck man, look at all the hot chicks!" my friend Niall yelled over the up beat music.
"Yea it's pretty chill." i said so I wouldn't seem so disinterested. When in reality I couldn't wait to leave; parties aren't really my thing.

As I pretend to be listening to Zack's story about banging some chick, I see this girl stumbling out of the kitchen. I soon realize she's the girl who lives a few houses down from me, Veronica.
"Damn she's shit faced!" someone yelled. Me being the nice guy I am, of course I'm going to go help her. As I make my way over to her, I notice a few guys are messing with her.

"Stop!" the drunken girl screamed from the back of her throat. "AYE LEAVE HER ALONE!" I screamed as I punched the boy trying to get her upstairs. The other two scurried away as did their friend with the bloody nose. Veronica is way too drunk to just stay here, and she can't walk nor drive home  so I figured since she only lives down the street I'll just bring her.

I pick up the drunken girl and begin to bring her home hoping she doesn't wake up and flip her shit. I realized while approaching her door she's up. She willingly hands me her house keys. Thank God, because I don't want to make a scene. I walk upstairs to lay her in her bed and then I left, I didn't really want to stick around.

I went home because everyone else was shit faced and i didnt want to deal with a bunch of drunken idiots. As I lie in my bed I start to think about the kind of person Veronica is. I start to wonder would she be willing to do the same act of kindness for someone else? I've always know her to be a bit on the edgy side and never really cared about no one but herself. I've never actually met her but I see the way she acts. I've come to a conclusion; from this point on stay away from Veronica DiMaggio.
